Actually, the answer turns out to be pretty interesting.

The short version is that what colors are considered "distinct" are heavily influenced by culture and Newton, from whom we get ROYGBIV, came from a culture which valued the dye called "indego."

Edit: It also seems Newton thought the number 7 had cosmic significance and thought there ought to be 7 colors.

Let's see if we can get them to to sixth largest!

Yeah. I'm definitely for some pretty seamless integration. Probably in the optimal case:

• The wikis would be hosted on the same domain as the Lemmy servers.
• Any account you had on the associated Lemmy server would automatically exist to the wiki as well.
• If you were logged into Lemmy, you'd also be logged into the wiki.
• Only mods would be able to enable wikis but the process of doing so would be trivially easy.
• I'd personally say that it makes the most sense to just have the mods link the associated wiki from the sidebar rather than creating new special interface features to add a link outside the sidebar or whatever. (Unless some kind of plugin infrastructure that would allow that already exists.)

But all that can be done without putting any wiki-specific code into the Lemmy or Lemmy-UI source repositories, which I think is preferable for the same reason you wouldn't add flight simulator code to a spreadsheet application. (Ok, maybe a bad example, but you get my point.)

Edit: And I'll admit there are both upsides and downsides to my approach here. One downside would be that some Lemmy instances would offer attached wikis and others wouldn't. It's possible it also just wouldn't catch on at all and nobody would enable attached wikis as a feature if it was a whole separate step to setting up "Lemmy".

Mostly I mean the wikis for really informational subreddits like /r/bodyweightfitness or /r/personalfinance. Those would usually be the best place to get information on whatever topic that wasn't mostly sponsored propaganda. And it had uses that the threads didn't fill because the wikis would take a comprehensive view of the subject matter whereas threads would be about one or another detail.

Who knows. Maybe I was the only one who felt like they got benefit from the wikis. Ha!

Just what comes to mind. Es Posthumus and Two Steps From Hell don't really have lyrics (or at least none my brain gets distracted by.)

I find Lazy Eye by The Silversun Pickups is very chill. Good "studying" music.

Beyond that, mostly music I'm very familiar with and listen to a lot. Music I know so well it doesn't surprise me at all.

I don't want to be constantly comparing Lemmy to Reddit, but on Reddit, the wikis were invaluable. As helpful as the threads were, the wikis frequently had amazingly useful info.

That said, I'm not sure I think adding wikis to Lemmy is the right way to go. "One thing well" and all that.

Maybe instead, some ancilliary wiki platform that can be run alongside Lemmy that lets a community mod easily set up a wiki that can be linked to in the sidebar?

Or we could go really simple and just link specific posts in the sidebar with useful information of the kind you'd otherwise put into a wiki.

Vi. Not even Vim. Just whatever vi is preinstalled on Arch Linux.

IDE's and I... don't get along.

I had some hands-on computer repair training at a private school once. One old machine wouldn't boot, complaining that it couldn't find the keyboard which was plugged into it. I unplugged it while the computer was on. At the time, unplugging a keyboard while the computer was on was... not a good thing. There was a little curl of smoke, a scorch mark on the motherboard, and a sustained tone from the chassis and that computer breathed its last.

Later, in college, I used the "net send" command on random people in open labs just to watch how confused they got.

SwayWM which is basically "i3: Wayland Edition."

Mindustry. People compare it to Factorio, but Mindustry (which also has an Android version) is open source.

Yessss! Came here to mention the animutations. Was gratified somebody beat me to it.
