Boeing’s plan to fix the company could suggest major changes
  • The changes include clearer instructions for the assembly line, training improvements and more tools. The company says it has also ordered each station be completed before a plane moves on the assembly line and directed Spirit to not ship defective fuselages to Boeing’s Renton plant.

    Oh.. for fucks sake. You can't tell the people at the bottom to work better-er when they've been trying to work better-er for a decade and their efforts get shit on .

    Interview every team lead and department head that has ever raised a quality/safety/non-conformance. Then interview/audit every executive those issues were reported TO. And if they can't provide a very very very good reason (i.e. not "$money$") for why those issues weren't actioned then they get fired. Every fucking one. Then promote a bunch of engineers.

    Boeing used to be a great company when the engineers ran it. Now its shit because the MBAs in expensive suits run it.

  • Canada’s Far-Right is Planning a Convoy to Toronto to ‘Save the Children’. It’s Already Spinning Out of Control.
  • “Get up off your god damned couch and show some passion for this country and some passion for the children that don’t have a voice, they get kidnapped, thrown in a railcar,” McDavid told viewers of one recent TikTok video, adding that children are being “tortured, hunted down like animals by – not the elites – by the degenerates on horseback.”

    Oh man, I thought we outlawed organized small children hunts. Those bourgeoise snobs in their red coats and riding britches.

    Also, where would one get a railcar of children. Is that what the "Dark Web" is for?

    > Hello from your southern neighbor. I am a huge fan of Kids In the Hall, Corner Gas, Strange Brew, etc.. While these are older shows and movies I still have a great appreciation for Canadian humor in all entertainment mediums. I am surprised I haven't come across a community for discussing Canadian entertainment or something thereof. As I am not as versed as many on the subject I would be hesitant to create a community myself, but would enjoy having one to participate in and find new shows and whatnot. Just something to think about. Eh?

    Why did/do people refer to TV as "boob tube"?
  • I am mildly annoyed that kids these days don't know this. Then I get annoyed at me for getting annoyed - why would they? we haven't had a CRT in the house since '04. It would be like getting exasperated because us 80s kids didn't know how to tap out morse code on the telegraph.

  • Lemmy Community Explorer - lemmyverse.net
  • Yep. Tho how many of those are redundant communities across multiple instances. Still, very exciting times for the lemmyverse.

    I think the big killer feature (if this can even be done) is to associate like named communities from different instances. Like destiny@lemmy.world <--> destiny@lemmy.ca marry up and start subscribing/replicating each other's content.

  • Lemmy Community Explorer - lemmyverse.net

    Looks like a great resource:

    Slashdot -> Fark -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy
  • You're missing the precursors:

    Email -> Newsgroups -> CGI forums / IRC -> Slashdot... :)

    The new Fediverse really is kicking up IRC and newsgroup vibes for this old timer. Its very exciting.

  • What is your favorite "rule of thumb?"
  • In cooking and baking: you can always add more heat. You can't take it out. Same thing with ingredients: you can always add more, you cant (always) take it out. So taste as you go.

  • Now that I've become one of the lemmies, what can I buy with all the reddit karma I've amassed?
  • ¯\(ツ)

    Actually that's one of the things I think will make engagement on Lemmy more meaningful. There's no point to the updoots other than to promote good content and downvote crap. Noone will be chasing Karma. Reposts will be honest/lazy mistakes instead of trying to cash-in on highly dooted stuff.

  • How to Join Lemmy and Find and Subscribe to Communities

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/61827

    > (These instructions are for using Lemmy in a browser. If you are using an app, some steps may differ.) > > ## How to Join Lemmy > > To use Lemmy, you need to be a member of one instance from the list at <https://join-lemmy.org/instances>. You will still be able to see content from anywhere, but the instance you choose will determine: > * What URL you use to log in to Lemmy, > * What content shows on the homepage when you select "Local" or "All", > * Who moderates your instance, and > * What rules you agree to when you sign up. > > Choose an instance that matches your interests, language, and region. (If you want more information about an instance, you can tap its "Join" button, which will show you its current homepage in the main view and its description in the sidebar. You can also check the tables here and here.) Please avoid joining instances that are already crowded (1000+ users/month). If an instance gets overcrowded, it can start running slowly or experiencing downtime, so choosing an uncrowded instance will give both you and others a better Lemmy experience. > > Once you have decided on an instance, tap its "Join" button to open it and then tap "Sign Up" in the upper-right corner. Fill out the form and wait for your account to be approved. > > When your account is approved, log in and customize your profile and settings. If you change your language settings, select "Undetermined" in addition to any languages you speak so that you can still see posts and comments that are not tagged as being in any particular language. > > ## How to Find and Subscribe to Communities > > There are four ways to find communities through Lemmy: > > 1. To browse communities that others in your instance are already subscribed to, tap the "Communities" tab at the top of the page and choose the "All" scope. Tapping on a community name will open it through your instance. > > 2. To browse communities across all instances, visit <https://browse.feddit.de/>. Tapping on the community's name will open it, but probably not through your instance (in which case the page will say that you are not logged in). Instead, follow these steps: > > a. Copy the community's URL or remote name. You can use the copy button next to the community name, you can open the community outside your instance and copy the URL from your address bar, or you can open the community outside your instance and copy the remote name (which will look like !community@instance.tld) from the sidebar. > > b. In your instance, tap on the "🔍 Search" button in the upper toolbar. > > c. Make sure that you have chosen "All" for each of the four filters: "Type", "Scope", "Community", and "Creator". > > d. Paste the community's URL or remote name into the search field and tap "Search". > > e. One of the results should be the community shown as an icon, a name, and a subscriber count. If you do not see it, or it is buried too deep in the search results, try changing "Scope" to "Local". If that does not work, you may need to wait a bit and try again. > > f. Tap on the community in the search results to open it in your instance. > > 3. If you want an experience similar to Reddit's r/all, visit <https://lemmy.directory/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/Hot/page/1>, which aggregates from these communities as described here. As in Option 2, you can copy and search for a community's URL to open it in your instance and subscribe to it. > > 4. If you don't see a community by browsing, subscribe to <https://lemmy.ml/c/findacommunity> and make a post about what you're looking for. > > Once a community is open in your instance, subscribe to it by tapping on the "Subscribe" button at the top of the sidebar. It will then appear in the "Subscribed" section of your "Communities" tab, and its posts will show on your home feeds. > > Can't find a community you're looking for? If your instance allows it, you can create the community yourself by tapping "Create Community" in the upper toolbar. >

    Did you know that you can follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon?
  • Yes! This is the coolness. And in theory Masto comments should show up on Lemmy threads (haven't tried yet)

    Mastodon however kinda doesn't know how to handle Lemmy community traffic (yet). For one, it treats all posts and comments as boosts from the community "user". And they come as a big wall of posts, there's little to no threading done.

    But for a start at demolishing the walled gardens, its pretty good. :)

    Lemmyverse Community Listing - 2023-06-10

    Be the change you want to see in the world, that's what mom always used to say. So here's a list of all the Local communities from the top 13 Lemmy instances by user count as per https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

    For now its just a copy+paste from the communities listing page of each instance https://lemmy.ca/communities/listing_type/Local/page/1 ... I think today's programming challenge might be a script to scrape that and in the future we'll poke at Lemmy's API to see if we can't snarf a community list automagically. (if you have any ideas let me know)

    edit: changed from dropbox to google drive. Let me know if there are viewing problems - other than having to go to (ugh) google drive.

    edit2: permissions, ugh. Should be universally accessible now.

    Biggest sports communities on lemmy?

    > I do enjoy watching a bit of sportsball. You know the thing where fans of red guys and fans of blue guys chirp and bantz at each other about which colour is the losers and which colour owns, and you hurl insults at the refs for making a call even if it was probably correct. > > So what are the biggest sports communities are on lemmy? And/or are there any instances that have more sports than others? > > Considering the size of lemmy, I'm not even in the mood to be picky about which sport it is. I just want to tell someone else on lemmy that their team sucks.

    New content discovery subs err I mean communities

    Exiting to see so much new traffic in Lemmy the past few days.

    While I don't think recreating Reddit in the Fediverse is necessarily a good idea, there were a few subs that really helped me discover new content. I looked, and didn't see anything directly comparable, so I created two new communities:

    https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmy411 - yep - can't find what you're looking for (or perhaps what instance it might be on?) ask here.

    https://lemmy.ca/c/wowthislemmyexists - find something cool? post about it here for others to discover as well.

    How many of you have pulled the plug and deleted reddit already?
  • I'm waiting to see what happens; they've announced the API screw-over of the 3rd party apps, but if the protests on the 12th+ blackout the site (you can't bill advertisers if there ain't no eyeballs) there might be some concession.

    Look, Reddit hasn't been profitable - yet. The VCs who dumped in 1.3Bn bucks want it back, and I don't begrudge anyone for trying to make their own ham sandwich; we all gotta eat. My opinion is that the popular 3rd party app developers and API users should have been consulted and involved in the decision-making. And face it: apart from what we've paid to our favourite app developers we've received an awesome internet community for zero cost for over a decade (some of us anyway)!

    How hard is it to go to the Apollo guy or the RiF folks and say: hey. we appreciate you making awesome apps. We need to start earning money. But you too need to make money. How can we work together, to maybe put a few more ads, or ad revenue generating "premium" features without screwing each other over, or our users?

    So Ill wait to see what happens in the coming week and ride Reddit-is-Fun out to the bitter end and the lights go out and then probably delete my Reddit account then. But I've made the first steps. Im here ain't I?

    Oh, and put in a request now to get an archive of all your Reddit content. I suspect that department will be quite busy in the coming weeks. https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request

    Im eager to see what form it comes in. If my posts and comments come with some context around them then Im fine with just deleting my account. I hope the links are permalinks so the backreferences to REddit stay intact (AND, you don't need the API to access, you could essentially "scrape" the context of your posts). I've been trying to find a way to search my own comments and posts for years (there are tools, but I want an OFFLINE archive of my stuff - I frequently find myself replying to someone and going hey wait Ive already answered this, now where did I put that comment...
