    Can someone explain what is meant when people talk about "increased interest rates" and "no more free money"?
  • JackFromWisconsin JackFromWisconsin Now 100%

    When you get a loan they are now more expensive. You pay more dollars in interest for the money now.

    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.

    We Should Compete With Wikia, Not Wikipedia
  • JackFromWisconsin JackFromWisconsin Now 100%

    I definitely agree. The more niche and community-centric wikis of Fandom and Miraheze should be the primary target. Its also a more achievable goal.

    Ibis as a Fediverse plug-in
  • JackFromWisconsin JackFromWisconsin Now 100%

    An Ibis article could probably just be considered a post to Lemmy. At least for a read-only view from Lemmy. The questions are: 1. How to show attribution/authorship and 2. Can articles be started or edited on Lemmy?

    For 1, probably makes the most sense to show 'Last edited by XYZ on date.time'. showing more than 1 author gets complicated and would probably be better served by a hyperlink to ibis itself.

    For 2, it probably shouldn't be possible. Maybe a workaround could be that ibis and Lemmy could (optionally) have a unified login system - so your Lemmy account would be good for an Ibis account if your admins chose to install ibis alongside Lemmy.

  • Where do you get your news?
  • JackFromWisconsin JackFromWisconsin Now 100%

    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.

  • UW-Milwaukee announces closure of Waukesha campus in 2025, citing declining enrollment
  • JackFromWisconsin JackFromWisconsin Now 100%

    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.

  • Is there a free, idiot-friendly way to export a custom area of the map as a PNG/JPEG in other styles than on the offical website?
  • JackFromWisconsin JackFromWisconsin Now 100%

    There's a way to embed a map in the article itself. See The Maps for Wikipedia 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.
