Toshiba said on Thursday that a $14 billion tender offer from private equity firm Japan Industrial Partners (JIP) had ended in success - a deal which paves the way for the embattled industrial conglomerate to go private.

 

The Nippon TV (NTV) television broadcasting company announced on Thursday that it has decided to acquire 42.3% of the shares of world-famous animation studio Ghibli. This transaction, once completed, would make NTV the largest shareholder of the Ghibli, and turn the studio into a subsidiary of Nippon TV.

 

I ask because I made an account on https://lemmy.zip and the kbin.social magazines there seems to have incomplete contents. e.g. kbinMeta@kbin.social there only have one thread from 25 days ago. RedditMigration@kbin.social there seemed more up-to-date but number of comments are still less than what I can see directly on kbin.social.

Another indication of trouble is that when I try to subscribe to a kbin.social magazine (like kbinMeta@kbin.social) it is stuck on Subscribe Pending seemingly forever and does not transition to subscribed/joined status.

At first I thought it is a configuration problem on lemmy.zip or some recent version Lemmy incompatibility with kbin, but I was able to subscribe to fedia@fedia.io there fine and it seems to be getting updated contents.

So somehow traffic is not flowing smoothly between kbin.social and lemmy.zip.

@ernest, I hate to bother you but are you seeing something like this with other instances?

Sapphire is a good brand but pcpartpicker tells me that you can save 20-40+ bucks getting an XFX or Asrock 6700xt.

How did 30+ million people fell for this? 😲

Lemdro.id fixed it on their end and the following should work. Is it still not working on your instance?

You click on the magnifying glass on the top right (on kbin.social this leads to https://kbin.social/search) and search for "@android@lemdro.id" (without quotes).

It was with kbin instances.

It is fixed now and the community can be accessed from kbin.social at https://kbin.social/m/android@lemdro.id .

Thanks. I tried to watch with subtitles off and predictably missed some of the conversation.

  • Still somewhat annoyed that there is no seat belt on the shuttle, even if it is to maintain continuity with TOS. M'Benga looked like he was going to bang his head and get a concussion when they were landing.

  • La'an: They won't see us coming.
    Zac: We totally saw you from the other side of the planet a hemisphere away.

  • What was Zac trying to accomplish? He lured them there with the Starfleet Delta, but he was not going to hitch a ride home. He expected whatever ship that comes to inspect to... forget and go away, or suffer some disastrous result when the crew become unable to function? Why not just stay low and be king if he wasn't planning to leave?

I wonder if one day Lemmy supports migration of communities whether this would become a problem. Do the mod own the subscriber list and can move it from one server to another without subscriber consent? Assuming the community on the original server will be deleted after migration, perhaps the migration process can include each subscriber given a (one-click) choice to move or unsubscribe. In addition there is the question whether mods are free to hand over a community to new mods if they want to.

I can find kbin.social in https://lemdro.id/instances . Unfortunately I do not know where you can find this information on kbin.social.

I also tried to search for "@android@lemdro.id" on https://kbin.social/search and it generated some results the first time (just thread contents and not the magazine) but now it comes up totally empty (not even a "not found" message) which seems to indicate there is a problem.

EDIT: opened an issue on codeberg: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/637

Currently there are (is?) content-only servers like https://lemmit.online/ .

I have been thinking perhaps the idea can be carried further and we can separate the user-facing front end and the back end.

Imagine having multiple front end servers (e.g. fe1.site, fe2.site, ... fe5.site) all connecting to the same user database and the same back end server which serves the communities and contents etc (call it be.site for example). A user signs up once and can login to any front end server with the same account, create a community /c/whatever on e.g. fe3 and it will be accessible automatically on fe1-fe5.

This is in addition to the back end federating with outside servers. Outside sees the community as be.site/c/whatever and users there as be.site/u/whoever. (or maybe make an alias like www.site/c/whatever www.site/u/whoever).

Additional front end servers can be added to spread the load if there are many users. If done right the users shouldn't even need to choose (or be aware of) which front end server they log on to, it can be automatically load-balanced. Another idea would be that special front end servers can be created to only serve API calls for apps.

I'm not sure if this will have bottleneck somewhere else, but I think this is an interesting idea to explore.

Elon's trying to show people how smart he is by running this one by himself. And he is succeeding β€” people are now realizing how smart he is.

Would there be any benefit to lemmy.world admins running a lemmy2.world and redirecting new users to sign up there? It would spread the load and federation between the two should be easier due to proximity and having the same admins.

 

For example, this magazine is named "/kbin meta" but the description says "Magazine dedicated to discussions about the kbin itself." (emphasis mine.) If you look at https://kbin.pub/en you see both

/kbin is an open source reddit-like content aggregator and microblogging platform for the fediverse.

and

Kbin is a decentralized content aggregator and microblogging platform running on the Fediverse network.

So do /kbin and kbin mean the same thing, and is one of them the more "official" name than the other? Just curious.

 

Because on reddit clicking on the thread title takes you to the linked article and not the thread itself.

How many of you are like me, click on "nn comments" by habit, end up in the comments area and have to scroll back up to see whatever the OP posted?

(Not saying any of this is kbin's fault, it is just taking a bit of getting used to)

 

I just joined and would like to say hello!

Opinion: kbin.social having the same name as kbin software led to confusing magazine names.

For example, kbinMeta's description says

Magazine dedicated to discussions about the kbin itself. Provide feedback, ask questions, suggest improvements, and engage in conversations related to the platform organization, policies, features, and community dynamics.

So if I understand correctly, it is about kbin.social-the-site.

However, kbinDesign's description appears to be about kbin-the-software.

This led to my confusion whether this is the correct place to write my "say hello" post.

What do you think?
