Yes they do!
Ohhhh, you were talking about YOUR “Wood Duck” and I likely live in another country and our “Wood Duck” is different. Wondered why the photo was off; “this person doesn’t even know what a Australian Wood Duck looks like, what a flaming galah”.
Consider a summary statement though. Not a big fan of a link with no text.
There was an article a few days back with microplastics working through “untouched by humans” layers of lake silt.
Stay positive, friend.

The OSTree layering option worked for me, well… I can get it to run once I turn off the ovpn I still have sitting in Fedora’s network settings. @j0rge@lemmy.ml’s comment I fumbled around with and I’ll wait to see if it updates.
Most of my time is spent in Linux Mint but if I ever have to reinstall, I’ll switch over to a ublue flavour.
Commenting from a laypersons’ perspective for new users, with my minor Linux experience and an inability to remember commands, don’t be frightened in giving it a go. If I can do it, anyone can. I run Fedora Kinoite on a second harddrive, use the BIOS Boot Menu to boot in, and then “rebased” to the UBlue Kinoite image using the provided commands once I read about it.
Almost everything is on Flatpak so I don’t even notice a difference with much. I had trouble layering the Mullvad VPN app (originally just using ovpn profiles) and I’m not sure I did it right in relation to updating but it seems to work.
Basically, I don’t understand much about it but it’s a completely usable operating system from my perspective.
Thanks for the write-up. It was helpful in increasing some knowledge.
It’s not fixed unfortunately. We are on 0.19.1 and having issues.
The fix is to regularly restart which clears the federation queue.
Beaver. Always beaver.
Australia is mostly degraded, channelised shallow creeks and erosion problems. Bam, beaver does all the work for us.
Can beavers survive in the subtropics?
Yep, I’m where I am, subscribed to zero communities but I can check out what’s happening nationally using Local. If the instance got massive, that would change but it’s fine as it is.
I guess the science instances, the art instances, the solarpunk instance, or even porn instances etc use Local heavily.
Austria? Well, then. G’day mate! Let’s put another shrimp on the barbie!
Oh you, tee hee hee.
Hardly, though. I have an ability to inefficiently find and check websites that are related to Australian environment news and then repost articles to the void.
It’s not much but it’s pointless work.
Unless you pick an instance where the local feed is important to you. It can go either way.
The dream would be that I could sort them into a feedreader and select articles out but that won’t happen. Nor would I want a bot doing it either.
Unfortunately, no one else posts so for the meantime, I just have to keep going or let it die.
I made myself a thread of interests I add to over time:
I might try turning off “Scores” in the settings so I can rawdog my feelings onto others posts and comments.
It’s a brave new world.
Edit: Did it. I literally do not know what to think.
It’s not about being right cause I don’t know what right is. The downvotes tell me if you’re wrong, that’s different. I can then feel safe.
These posts are sarcasm, by the way. Dont start downvoting, people!
That’s the problem with having an opinion.
Are you bring downvoted heavily? That’s the only way I know to know if I agree with you or not.
You’re being really thoughtful and this is a good discussion.
I read through all the other comments and I’m disagreeing with a few other viewpoints from others pretending like aggressive downvoting/brigading is an individual’s problem.
Perhaps a feature request to Lemmy could be an option. Rather than a binary choice.
Votes as is, upvotes visible/downvotes not visible but measured, up/down not visible but measured, no downvotes, no votes at all.
Discussion instances could work around what works best for sorting and discussion, general could work what’s best for them etc.
Forums didn’t have upvotes for years and it worked just fine.
In that case, downvotes should be invisible. The sorting algorithm can see them but people can’t.
I don’t believe that tiny communities and instances should have them on until a threshold is reached and they become “sortable”.
Being visible is an aggressive moderation tool. It doesn’t foster discussion. reddit devolved into downvote heavy as time went on and I hated it, most of the time it didn’t make sense why things were downvoted. They work better for memes and pics, not comments (unless they are horrible) and discussions. Bad actors use the downvote for bad acting.
I didn’t downvote you.
I agree but like the premise of the argument is that there is trust issues, a edited reason makes it more trustworthy on a scale rather than nothing. I agree with that usually typos don’t require a reason but reddit? gave you 5? mins before an edited notification was placed on the comment for that reason.
Bad actors are always going to act bad.
I don’t even think downvotes need to exist to counter other aspects of the OP. I would rather a statement as to why this was a bad comment or post so as to make it a learning experience, an educational tool rather than a down arrow that could mean anything. I’ve been downvoted for adding relevant posts to the community I manage. What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Was it the content? Someone holding a grudge? What?
