I set up a 6 as well, and it works great except for the camera. Looks like it's a piece of hardware with a specific driver needed. There's an open source project to support this, but it's not often updated, from what I can tell.

Ok, going through that source, I can see how some of that must be an AI hallucination. "Fluffernutter" can't actually be a thing, can it?

I'm not at all disagreeing that Cam's Ham isn't serving Country Ham. I was just hoping to provide a little context to the graphic using the cited sources and some additional information.
It's a graphic that someone's probably put a fair bit of effort into, not spam. This is spam:

Here's a restaurant in Virginia that specializes in that...
I also mention in another comment that this is likely based on a list by the Food Network.

Looks like this was based off a list of 50 sandwiches made popular by the Food Network and Zagat magazine.
https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/packages/sandwich-central/50-states-50-sandwiches
Specifically Cam's Ham in Virgina advertises the Ham and Mayo sandwich.
Are these "state sandwiches"? Probably not. Judging by the comments, you're all rather passionate about your sandwiches and what they represent. I've even received reports on this post saying it's false information. Perhaps we need to consider the source of this information and take it with a grain of salt.
Thank you all for remaining civil, and acknowledging the existing of sandwich alternatives such as hot dogs, tacos, and quesadillas.

While I typically try to avoid divisive comments in these light-hearted communities, this is a fairly informative one, especially in the context of etymology.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilah
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah#Etymology
We should also not be condoning scoffing at someone based on their understanding. Perhaps these could be opportunities to educate people that are unfamiliar with the differences.

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words.
The bot brings in content from R, but it's been set up to do so for a specific reason. In order to attract new users and subscribers, new content has to be posted. Kind of a chicken/egg scenario.
The bot pulls from the Hot category of r/Edmonton, allowing it to at least make use of preliminary user filtering from R. Without that, it would be pulling from New, providing much lower qualities of content.
If you have any recommendations or suggestions, throw 'em at me! I'm all ears (or eyes, in this case)

I use Diodon. I've set it up so that copy is CTRL+C, Paste is still CTRL+V, but what I call "Super Paste" is SUPER+V, showing a list of the last 20 items that were copied, including images.
Great utility, especially paired with FlameShot.
The only thing is that the Super Paste always pastes unformatted. Not a big deal, but something to consider.

This is a bit weird. I was just listening to Infinity 2 today (great book. Totally recommend), and there's a section where the characters use Benford's Law to prove reality. I then had to look it up myself.
Just a super weird coincidence...unless Lemmy is listening to me...

I am as well. Between this and the occasional check-in on Mastodon, I've got plenty of social media to keep me entertained during some idle times. That's all I really ever wanted.

Pipes is a great way to view YT content without logging in. No ads, clean interface, and you can log in to save playlists via cookies on your local machine, so no interaction with the server. It doesn't use the YouTube API, so Google can't say much.

Thank you for this. The imposter syndrome is real, especially starting what were some larger subreddits (gifs, coolguides, Shiba, and helping with Today I Learned). It's been fun and I'm super happy to see the interactions and genuine conversation. We're certainly our own community, and I'm so happy the fediverse is growing into something I can easily burn time on here and there.

I've been using Pixelfed.Social and it's been working great to hosting images and gifs. For videos, I'm using Dalek.zone, a Peertube instance. Both can have their links shared here and they work great.

Agreed! I don't need an endless supply of content, just enough for coffee and bathroom breaks. There's plenty to catch up on in that time. Plus, there are still relevant news stories and happenings, so the fomo is kept at bay.

TIL that a 28 year old Russian man went to the doctor for coughing up blood and having chest pains. The doctors diagnosed it as cancer, but it turned out to be a fir tree growing inside his lungs.

The amazing 'discovery' was apparently made when they opened up Artyom Sidorkin, 28, to remove what they thought was a serious tumour.
Mr Sidorkin had complained of extreme pain in his chest and had been coughing up blood. Doctors were convinced he had cancer.
"We were 100 per cent sure," said Vladimir Kamashev, a surgeon in Izhevsk in the Urals. "We did X-rays and found what looked exactly like a tumour.
"I had seen hundreds before, so we decided on surgery."
Before removing part of the man's lung, the surgeon investigated the tissue.
"I thought I was hallucinating," said Mr Kamashev. "I asked my assistant to have a look: 'Come and see this – we've got a fir tree here'. He nodded in shock. I blinked three times as I was sure I was seeing things."
Medical staff said that Mr Sidorkin must have inhaled a seed, which later sprouted into a small fir tree inside his lung.
The spruce, which was said to be touching the man's capillaries and causing severe pain, was removed.
"It was very painful. But to be honest I did not feel any foreign object inside me," said Mr Sidorkin. "I'm so relieved it's not cancer."
There was no independent verification of the surgeon's claims.

No worries! It's pretty low impact at the moment. Not too many people posting about stuff that has to be removed. Truthfully, I'm hoping to make this more of a community space without a ton of restrictions. r/Edmonton got a bit weird and cliquey on Reddit and I'm hoping we can do it differently here.

Totally! It's under the "Experience" section on your app. You can pick trailers from either your library, or anything being released. It's a great way to set the mood.

Eh, it's just kinda fun. I like watching the trailers (enabled on the app), the being surprised by the preroll. I have a couple favorites and it's nice to see them come on. I've yet to watch a movie with my parents and have the Pornhub proroll come up and I'm dreading that day.

I'm able to not only understand, but empathize with the OP. I don't like cats and I'd never own one. I completely understand where they're coming from. I was simply challenging their preconceived notion that all dogs (or cats) fit in one box.

Sounds like you're painting all dogs with a brush dipped in your experiences. I can completely understand that. I also don't like those situations. They stress me out and make for an uncomfortable visit. I've had my backpack destroyed by a Frenchie, slobber on my clothes from a great Dane, conversations interrupted by a Yorkie, and staffie that just made me nervous.
At the same time, I grew up with a Shiba Inu, and I now have my own Shiba. He's quiet, never begs, requires very little of me, and lays down quietly when guests are over. He loves people and is incredibly protective. It took quite a bit of training and patience, but I'm extremely proud of the good boy he's turned into.
Yes, I love my dog and I'm not expecting you to, but I am asking you to be open minded to different experiences. There are good and bad owners while there are also compatible dog breeds. If aomwone has a border collie in an apartment, it will destroy everything. Same could be said for a Pomeranian that's understimulated.
I respect your opinion and hope that you can one day see the good side of dogs and the companionship they bring into people's lives. While it may not be something in your story, for others it may be a necessary part of their day.

I suspect there's something else potentially going on. I'm not a therapist, so I can't offer advice, but I can share experiences.
I had a partner at one point that would jump to conclusions without context. She would assume I had done things that I had not, and blame me for it. Later in life, I learned that she had been projecting her insecurities on me. This may have been the easier route compared to dealing with the root causes.
Dealing with those root causes would have been incredibly painful and would require some serious reevaluation of her value structure and decision making. That's not a journey for the lighthearted.
My partner refused to go to therapy, and I think that was a mistake. I've been seeing a therapist for almost a year now and it's the best thing I could have done.
I hope my story helps you in some way.

I heard back from the Reddit mods this morning and they are not interested in migrating nor supporting the Edmonton community on Lemmy. I suppose it's up to us now!

Good point. It was nice to identify the posts right away when scrolling through, but the crossposting argument is valid.
There are quite a few posts already on TIL@lemmy.ml using this convention though. Given the larger use base in that instance, I'd be concerned about a majority tending with convention.
I'd suggest starting a new post here and gathering some feedback. I'm game to break traditional values if that's where we want to go.
