  I have never looked into the details of an OCR, but if it’s a classifier it should give the it’s confidence in being a 1 or L so you can start with the low confidence characters.

  Yeah that’s a helpful perspective to hear

  I don’t love the second half of this post, it seems like bait to bring out the worst in people, but so far all of the comments seem to be keeping things civil and avoiding the bait.

  Thanks all.

  This post was reported for stereotyping against Japanese people. Stereotyping is probably always a bad idea so I’ll remove it. I’m always open to feedback.

  Thanks!

  Rule 2 is that the complete thought should be in the title.

  How about something like “Lemon juice comes in a lemon shaped bottle, but why is a floppy still used for the save button?” Or “what icon will replace the floppy for the save button?”

  Hell yeah!

  Well you can already buy shells. She sells seashells by the seashore.

  This is you standard high quality shower thought right here. I’m a big fan.

  Ha, how does a foot note sound?

  You were reading research papers in the shower?

  All good. It’s a bit odd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Hackers Are Fighting Back Against ICE⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I there is starting to be enough content on peertube to be interesting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Hackers Are Fighting Back Against ICE⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I went here: peertube.gravitywell.xyz/c/benjordan/videos

  Then I clicked the subscribe button.

  Then I entered the url to my peertube account.

  Then it opened the peertube app to my account and I had to hit subscribe again.

  Not painless but not bad for being federated.

  Fuck is an exclamation, not a slur. While I do agree people will use slurs, I do think we should avoid them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lead acid battery reconditioning question⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the batteries have a cap on top that you can open with just your fingers, you should open it and make sure the lead is submerged in the liquid.

  If not, add DI water to cover them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! Looks like the comments are visible in both the mastodon and Lemmy instances. Good work devs!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the original link to this mastodon post?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being afraid of vaccines is literally childish behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was reported for misinformation but no counter information was given. I’m more likely to delete this whole post for being political than to pick a side when few people are giving sources.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism only asissts innovation for the first few years of existence. After that its a grift.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do I understand correctly that you think capitalism started 30-50 years ago? Where? By whom?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism turns countries into businesses to support the lavish lifestyle of capital holders and the government into HR to silence the workers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the report and being active in helping to shape the community.

  There is gray area in the no politics rule. I’ll be the first to admit that it is inconsistently enforced. The comments section has stayed pretty civil. And the post made some interesting analogies, it wasn’t just “capitalism bad”. So I’m tempted to leave it.

  Always open to feedback.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for sharing your thoughts. While I agree there is a lot of hostility on online forms, I hope you will work with us to make Lemmy less hostile and more welcoming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hope Lemmy gets big enough to make the mainstream news...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I got stoked for the 404 article. Keep up the original posts folks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think your perspective and critique is valid and interesting but it can be helpful to assume the best in people, especially when giving a critique.

  In my experience, kids (and adults) love the fact that Iceland is greener and Greenland is icier, so it’s not surprising to me that other languages have similar odd names. It’s not surprising to me that some people would have a biased opinion of a place due to an odd name, but like Iceland I expect many know much more about a country than just the name and thus the name doesn’t hold much weight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The richest people in the world are morally bankrupt⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This was reported for not being a shower thought. It’s certainly not hard to get a bunch of up votes on Lemmy by saying “ultra rich people bad”.

  I error on the side of leaving posts up. If there is an objective way to enforce what is or isn’t a shower thought, I’m open to ideas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Culture no longer exists in our reality today because the actors responsible for it most of it have long been deprived of their livelihood.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  ^ This was reported for being a troll. I think the reporter is correct. Even the original post is a bit of a troll for the average Lemmy person.

  If you choose to reply to this comment, careful not to feed the trolls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This year’s highlight is⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for posting in shower thoughts.

  Rule 2 is that the entire thought must be in the title. Do you think you could edit your post?

  Ideally shower thoughts are applicable to lots of people. See the side bar for examples. I guess the fact that the prior year has been bruising could be generally applicable.
