Of course they did. If you're rich, you get a bailout. If you're not, then fuck you.

There’s nothing like a good hands-on to understand what your tools are doing under the hood.
Also, the author admitted that he used ChatGPT to help write this. In his words:
Yep, I do use GPT as one of the tools in my workflow. I write these blogs in markdown locally and have a helper script which takes the raw content and with a prompt it helps me generate a title, summary, Intro and conclusion (personal preference to keep these consistent on all blogs) and proofread the whole raw content for any mistakes (replaces grammarly completely now).
Quite happy with this workflow because it helps me publish articles more frequently where I don't have to worry about stuff other than just dumping my thoughts in raw format.
It’s similar to how I use Astro as a tool to generate static pages from these markdown files to easily deploy on web or TailwindCSS etc etc you get the point.

So glad to hear this. The loss of DPReview would’ve been huge.
Holy smokes, the photography in here is incredible. Look at the one the 16-year-old kid won with!
This poem was so, so good. I’ve never heard of this author before and I don’t normally read poetry, but I’m going to pick up a copy of his book now.
In case the paywall stops you:
was the same summer he met my mother. He and Uncle Max, home from college,
worked the family farm, drove cattle between fields, passed out by a fire
after trading swigs of Old Grand-Dad from Max’s flask, the night sky lit up
like a marquee, “Kashmir” playing softly on their portable radio. It was 1975.
On off days, he’d drive to Carbondale and see Dylan or Elton. He grew
his first beard, wore aviators and snap-button shirts, smashed a copperhead’s skull
with the heel of his boot. He met her, friend of a friend, on someone’s front porch.
Late July. He pulled a beer from a cooler and handed it to her. Overhead, carpenter bees
dug into the eaves, dropping a little wood dust that hung in the air, caught on the wind,
briefly softening the view, lightly obscuring it. At what point should I tell you
my father spent that summer on the farm, resigned from his job in Chicago,
because he abandoned his first marriage, washed his hands of a daughter, and hardly
looked back? And what to do with this? Knowing my existence depends
on these facts—the beer, the radio, my sister—every one of them.

His prose simply has no equal. The man was an actual, honest-to-god, national treasure. He was so formative for me as an author, and I'm just gutted by his death.
Be warned: if you're going to attempt to read one of his books, you need to make sure that you have the time and space to give it proper attention. His work is heavy, like a slab of lead, and you need to be sure to give yourself extra time to digest things. But it's so, so rewarding.

Since the obvious shuttering of /r/gardening, I figured folks interested in gardening would appreciate an instance tailored to that interest. Perhaps communities on there could be created for specific types of gardening (food, flowers, etc.), or location.
The popular instances like lemmy.ml and beehaw.org have also, understandably, been getting hammered in the last couple of days, so any new instance that can share the load for Reddit expats would be good, right?
(I just posted this over on the environment community and right after I did that, I saw this gardening one, sorry for the spam--still trying to learn and adjust to Lemmy overall and how things work)

(I looked around and wasn't sure where the best place to post this was, so I hope this is alright here. Not trying to be spammy at all, but community/instance discovery isn't exactly Lemmy's strong suit at the moment. I'm not the admin of the instance, but I am subscribed and would love to see this instance...grow, heh)
Looks like you should be able to copy/paste the URL of the community in your Masto search bar, such as https://beehaw.org/c/politics, but this seems to only work with the Beehaw technology community (https://beehaw.org/c/technology). A nondescript 500 server error is returned when I try any others. Is this expected? Is there some kind of toggle for each community that allows/disallows following from other Federated instances?
