These bots can be helpful for the elderly or those with disabilities. It’s probably more effective to legislate them at the municipal level.
Please contact me at @otter@lemmy.ca for any urgent issues.
This is an alt account used for testing and scheduling posts. I intend to retire the previous accounts I used for this purpose ( otters_raft@lemmy.ca and otters_raft@piefed.ca )

I find it similar to Technology Connections, where even if I’m not interested in the topic before I watch the video, I still get something out of it afterwards :)


I’ve seen students/applicants there make the same joke 😄
The history

There should be a link, unless its not loading correctly for you?
Here if is


Check out the article in the post, it walks you through adding it :)


Not yet, here is the open issue


I had the same issue, I set it to 110% on my phone. It would be cool if someone put together a guide on common configurations to help it match other apps.


Likely a reference to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ant_and_the_Grasshopper


There is disagreement and outdated advice on what to do / not to do. First aid is time-sensitive so having a discussion about updated guidelines can be helpful :)
Would it be possible to slowly build a whitelist for users that you confirm are legitimate?
For context, I subscribe to web comics through RSS feeds, and sometimes I’ll sit down to look through the feed and then schedule out posts for the few good ones. I can totally keep it to the 2 posts per day limit, but I’m worried that I might forget one day in the future. It’s hard to keep track of community specific posting rules 😅
I totally understand if the extra posts get removed, this is more about not getting banned by an automated system.
Can you reach out to admins on any instance that the accounts are made on? Vote manipulation should be an easy instant ban. Putting together a list of accounts would help the instance admins figure out a pattern.

See the History section here for some controversies. From what I remember, there is disagreement on whether he asked for the name to be changed or if institutions changed it first


PNGs by default, I’m not sure if vectors are possible yet but it seems like it would be easy to implement


I keep meaning to check this when it is daytime in North America. Europeans are contributing a lot :)


Thanks!


Did you try it with venv? That might reduce the chance of interference with your system
I didn’t intend for it to sound like that, and reading my comment again I see that I should have expanded on it further. I’m hoping my posting history can show where I stand on issues like this.
What I should have said was that delivery services can be helpful for the elderly or those with disabilities, and that legislation on delivery services can help us improve access to those without the harms of these current robots.
For what it’s worth, we don’t have these robots where I am, so I didn’t know how bad it was. In person, I’ve only seen a few that were sitting around our university plaza last fall. I looked online, and it looks like we don’t currently have any here. I will keep what you’ve mentioned in mind when talking about these bots moving forward, especially if our local politicians are going to be deciding on them in the near future.
To expand on where my thinking was coming from, I have read first person accounts from people who can’t leave their homes easily, and also how existing delivery programs are helpful but don’t have the capacity to meet everyone that needs it: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/seniors-grocery-app-delivery-anjel-vancouver-1.4938035
Often with these discussions, automation is brought up as a way to bridge the gaps that current public funding can’t fulfill.
I also recently read about how some cities have a thriving bike/scooter sharing program, while others are suffering from mismanagement, excessive prices, and chaos; and how it came down to whether the programs were started as a public project or if they were led by tech companies. So in my earlier comment, I was tying information to this story and saying that regulated and/or publicly managed delivery options might be a better thing to focus energy on
