Then you’ll love this new product that’s guaranteed* to reduce the amount of advertising you’re exposed to!

But in all seriousness… I hate it, too. It’s fucking everywhere.

Back in the 90s, Windows NT had a POSIX compatibility layer that you could enable (it wasn’t enabled by default).
The issue is that there are numerous posts instigating and encouraging everyone to defederate.
Why do you think that is?
Hint: It’s not because people are against federation with new instances.
Anyone who has an issue can reach out to me and I can address their concerns.
Is that reasonable?
No. People have told you repeatedly what the main issues are. If you want people to stop criticizing, then perhaps you should actually listen to them.
It goes without saying that the Emus will retake Australia.
Since they’re flightless, the rest of the world will be safe for a while. But when they form a navy or invent air travel, the rest of the world better watch out!
Edit: LOL, I just noticed your instance. You know what I’m talking about. 😛
I have sort of had enough of copy and pasting commands I find on the internet without having a good understanding of how they actually work.
One thing you could do is start trying to understand those commands.
Read the man pages or the documentation to figure out what the commands are actually doing. Once you have the “what” , you can dig deeper to get to the “why” if it isn’t obvious by that point.
After enough of that, you’ll go to copy/paste and already understand what it’s doing without needing to look it up again.
Then from there, it’s a matter of building the instinct to be able to say “I need to do X, so I’ll use commands Y and Z.”
The longer the distance, the larger the diameter of the wire you need, due to resistance/heat.
Typically, extension cords are going to be manufactured with the thinnest wire they can get away with based on the safety requirements, in order to save on materials cost.
So plugging 2 short cords together might cover the same distance as 1 longer cord, but the longer cord will use thicker wire to maintain the proper margin of safety.
At your local bank, surely not. But there are high yield savings accounts in that range with various online banks.
For example both Ally and Amex are at 3.8% right now, and were over 4% sometime in the last year or so.
Not really. There are a lot of variables, and it’s not as cut and dry as many people think.
Bullet ballistics are complicated. A bullet’s size, weight, speed, shape, and composition are all factors, as are barrel length, rifling twist ratio, gas pressure, and probably a bunch of other stuff I’m forgetting.
And then, shot placement is another huge factor in lethality. A small bullet in the “right” place can kill, a big bullet in the “wrong” place can leave you alive.
Then you add to that the funny dichotomy of the human body being both really fragile and extremely resilient at the same time, and you get people surviving all sorts of things that for all intents and purposes should have killed them.
Look… I can’t say that I know what you’re going through, because there’s no way that I really can - your experiences are your own.
But I can tell you this - I know about the darkness and hopelessness. I’ve been led to it by my own experiences, and have been consumed by it to the point I thought suicide was the only means of escape.
But I was wrong. There were other ways out, and I did escape. And you can, too. If you want to.
Maybe easier to try. But flinch or move at the last moment, and you could wind up a vegetable instead of dead. At which point you won’t be able to try again, and you’ll be stuck living like that.
We absolutely do care about community.
You can say that all you want, but actions speak louder than words.
Because we are not lemmy based, so our development takes time (plus my developer left, plus we were trying to move to sublinks which itself has federation issues). So federation for us is not a config setting.
You launched what you apparently considered to be your MVP, and it’s a one-way leech of fediverse user content.
The fact that you were willing to launch without federation in place signals, at least to me, that you care far less about community participation than you do about the content the community produces.
Additionally, different admins feel different rules are fair, so it is hard for us to know how to be good community members.
Welcome to the fediverse, where every software stack works a little differently, and every server has its own rules.
I request a common set of rules, preferably based on traffic, so any newbie can get the breathing room to develop and participate. Does that sound fair?
You’re asking for someone to give you a set of common rules across all instances? For unpaid users and/or volunteer admins to spend their time compiling this information just to provide it to you?
No, actually. To me that doesn’t sound fair at all.
I haven’t watched it in years, and I don’t really remember enough about it to comment on the details.
But in case you’re not aware of it, they did a remake in the mid '90s, starring Harry Anderson. Obviously it’s like 30 years old now, so not modern/contemporary from today’s point of view.
But if you haven’t seen it, it might be worth a watch just for the fun of being able to compare/contrast.
I’ve been around the block a few times, so maybe I’m just jaded.
My take is that it’s a proprietary platform, siphoning user data/content to redisplay and monetize.
Additionally, my gut feeling is that they don’t care about the community at all, and are just trying to leverage it to make money. They want to be the next reddit, and think the fediverse is their ticket. And I don’t think anything I’ve seen so far indicates otherwise.
We block Threads, and I think we should block this, too, immediately. If, in the future, the situation changes and they actually “give and take” rather than just “take” , then it should be simple enough to refederate.
My 2c.
I’m not personally a fan of jalapenos, but pineapple and banana pepper is also a really good combo for sweet/tangy.

I’m sure there are better sources, but this was the first thing that popped up in a quick search.
At least they don’t have herpes.
+1 for taking stop the bleed.
Also, regarding inclusive training, I’ll plug The Liberal Gun Club . They have chapters around the country and are a lovely alternative to your typical NRA-card-carrying firearms instructor.
There was a series of TV commercials in the 70s for a laundry detergent that focused on “ring around the collar”. So I suspect it’s a spoof of one of those.
