What do you mean by nefarious exactly? I don't get the impression that it's evil...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Getting recommended months and years old posts

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's not what nefarious means.

adjective: nefarious (typically of an action or activity) wicked or criminal. "the nefarious activities of the organized-crime syndicates"

I never understand people who obsess with words instead of language itself, not trying to disrespect you, but it’s like you are trying to prove a point or go in too deep, when the answer is very simple. It’s all about the context. You can safely say it’s criminal to show a month-old post in “Hot”.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

Except that nefarious is not a direct synonym for criminal. Nefarious has a subtext of specific underhanded malicious intent, whereas criminal doesn't have the same intentional connotations.

If one were to read about a "Criminal website", it might have instructions on how to make a bomb or something like that, whereas a "nefarious website" is likely to be read as looking normal but stealing your information.

By calling the sorting nefarious, OP has (likely) unintentionally implied that there is an underlying sinister reason for the issues, which is not likely to be the case.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

I guess I'd want to know if I was using a word incorrectly. I understand what they're trying to say, but nefarious doesn't make sense in this context. Maybe my pedantic correction prevents them from looking dumb in the future.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because words have meanings? If words just mean anything you want them to mean then they mean nothing.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 years ago

Yeah, right

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I’m thinking you could care less.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

I've been living in "Top # hours" for this reason. Active and Hot are weirdly...not.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Change sorting. "NewComments" and "Top x" are better than Hot and Active atm

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Probably once they merge the remaining merge requests: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pulls

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it's currently on Release Candidate 5, so actual release will probably be this weekend

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you happen to know why v0.18.2 is available in tags, yet not in releases? I see that majority of lemmy instances are running BE 0.18.2.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The releases page doesn't matter, the images are uploaded to docker

Looks like 0.18.3 was tagged just now, so we might see some instances update to it today

I just upgraded without issue. Had to restart docker once it was installed but otherwise it went smoothly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yep just upgraded too, no drama

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Nice, I gotta try to upgrade mine today (not the one my account is on lol, it's an instance just for communities https://lemmy.mods4ever.com/communities )
