From random searching around it seems lanes haven’t necessarily changed (basically this route is still used) but technology helps a lot. There are definitely fewer icebergs at that location these days but despite many reddit commenters claiming none it seems there are a few icebergs that make it there: https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/sites/default/files/images/iip/data/2017/20170426_NAIS65.gif

Apparently radar makes sure ships know about any icebergs well in advance, and there are also ice patrol planes and satellite tracking to make them pretty much a non-issue. Unless you’re the MV Explorer cruise ship that sunk in the Antarctic after hitting an iceberg in 2007. But that was outside of shipping lanes and monitoring areas as far as I can tell.

For sad reasons, yes. Probably a lot lower chance than it was 100 years ago.

Pretty sure you can’t draw a kiwi without someone giving it laser eyes 😆

@[email protected] I guess you’re on holiday and won’t be able to participate this year?

Hmm odd. Maybe just try again?

That’s odd. How far did you get? Any error?

Federation from your instance Lemmy.world to the instance the community is on (programming.dev) is healthy, so that doesn’t seem to be the issue.

My guess would be that you’ve tried to upload an image that is over the size limit - I think this is imposed by your own instance (Lemmy.world), and I’m not sure what the size limit is but I think 5MB per image is pretty common. If you drop the image size or upload elsewhere then link it, does that work?

I feel like it still does sometimes, with some sites that feel like they are nearly a whole OS in themselves.

What about [email protected]?

Or if you are using Home Assistant you could post in [email protected]

There is a Lemmy community search function here if you want to check other options: https://lemmyverse.net/communities

Haha well now you know!

No that’s expected, as part of your profile info. But if the original authors delete the comments, then they will also be deleted in your saved items.

Yes with ActivityPub there’s always failed federation. But Lemmy will send the delete request out when you delete your account. Other software or instances might not honour it, but the intent is there.

As opposed to reddit who do not remove comments when an account is deleted, only mark it as a comment from a deleted account.

I’m not against Lemmy’s implementation, but it does require you to collect information you need at the time not assume it will always be there.

You didn’t know it existed? Your account is here at lemmy.nz, it would show any posts in the local feed so you might still see them.

Bookmarks won’t help if the content gets removed. You’ve got to copy the important information elsewhere.

I tend to use either a note app (Joplin) or a self-hosted wiki for that.

We try to keep politics in a separate community, it was by request of the community as not everyone wants to see politics and also it can quickly take over the community since there is so much politically happening at the moment.

If it’s directly about the government (a government department, government decision, or a member of the parliament such as this Justice Minister, then it should go in [email protected]

Thanks for understanding 🙂

Deleting your account deletes your content, unlike deleting your Reddit account. Hence the linkrot.

I learnt pretty early on that saving posts using the save button was not a good way to save the information 😮‍💨

Can you please put politics posts in [email protected]?

I’ve messaged you a couple of times over the last week or so but you don’t seem to have seen this.

Yeah it does seem to imply they were already here when the article says otherwise. But I wonder if they meant that their ancestors were previously part of the ecosystem so they aren’t as disruptive as we might assume (unlike, say, possums, that devastate forests in a way not seen in Australia).

Yeah fair enough. Well you’ll get good stories anyway!

😮

Why did you pick winter for your holiday, anyway?

Huh. Here in NZ tea, (instant) coffee, milk (and usually Milo as well) are virtually always provided by an employer (only by social convention, as far as I can tell, not a legal requirement). I kinda assumed Britain would be the same since we must have got the custom from somewhere.
