Hey there! I am a science/technology enthusiast and regular contributor to Wikipedia. Elsewhere you may find me with the @JackFromWisconsin@wikis.world handle.
Not quite. An upvote on Lemmy is a favorite on mastodon. However, all posts on Lemmy look like they are a “boost” by the community when viewing from mastodon.
Love that you are continuing boost for Lemmy! Great work

Good stuff! Thanks for all that you guys do for Lemmy and the open internet
Doing good! Really happy with where I’m at in life currently.
I don’t go out of my way to get news, so social media/Lemmy. Except for local news, which I do follow more closely. But that’s it.
Absolute Bullshit. The closure of the branch campuses, which bring the UW to rural Wisconsin, is a failure on the state and on the Universities of Wisconsin (formerly UW System). Thousands of students across wisconsin would not get the life-changing, fulfilling, career-opening education they fucking deserve if all of these branch campuses close.
What is next after the rest of the UW branch campuses close? Bye-bye UW Parkside? UW Superior? UW Platteville?
We can fund these colleges, we just haven’t been. It is about god-damn time that our legislature has a spine and promises to fund these colleges, and to re-open the closed ones, for the future. While you’re at it, make tuition free at these colleges. The state has more than enough money. Help those who need it.
I have never used amazon, much less paid for a subscription service for the pleasure of using it. I was hoping that the author atleast stopped using amazon alltogether. Ah well. Little victories I guess.
Not at all. We actually block the offending instance.
There’s a way to embed a map in the article itself. See page for information on how to do that.
Otherwise I am unaware of a tool that allows for a PNG or SVG export or OSM data.

I know they had a word block list but I’m unsure if it’s still around.
I just realized FF didn’t have a built in translator a week ago. Excited to see it come!
Drive throughs are the real evil here.
You’re right. Here’s the archive link: https://archive.ph/kXZft
They go to nearly everyone.
If I on instance a report a post on instance b made by a user on instance c, all three instances’ admins will receive the report, as well as the community on instance b.
It’s kind of a mess, and definitely overkill.
I got by for a long time using a YouTube playlist and Vanced. Might want to look into YouTube Revanced, it’s a patch for the YT app that deletes ads and adds some extra features.
Thanks for letting me know, it should be fixed now.
I don’t think we needed scientists for this one haha
