Thanks!

I use this instance daily and I really like it. The experience is exactly what I’m about, audhder and sharing data. I think that I typically discover new communities by the community having a really legit post that pops up in the hot feed. I would really like if there was better discoverability of cool communities, or even a big list of all the communities so that I could browse through the less active ones that have good posts from the past. @db0 you’re doing a really good job. My main technical gripe is that the Jerboa client does not search by post and only searches by community but that isn’t a instance level issue. That’s a developer issue for the Lemmy client. I mention it here in case you ever get a chance to bend the ear of the Lemmy developers. Now that I’m thinking of it, a hub for other fetaverse stuff to hook up to would be pretty cool or just resources in general for how to navigate fediverse. That might be outside of the scope of a runner of an instance, but the learning curve I think would be a little less steep if there was some Lemmy/Fediverse onboarding kind of built into a mega thread for new users. Overall you’re doing great, keep it up! Thanks!

I think that this is the reason that the rust programming language exists: to make learning the skill too hard for a regular person.

Pihole runs on a 10-15 dollar computer (raspberry pi) and blocks anything you want, and is free as in freedom software. It is also zero cost.

I like anki for vocabulary. What else is there, software wise?

You have to do your work outside and either standing or kneeling, and it gets hot as hell because of the heat of the welding. Sometimes you’re in vessels. It seems miserable. 82K isn’t even that much money for the work, in my opinion. Specialty workers can make more but still…

Beard wax the 'stache into the handlebar style. Use trimmers to keep the mustache away from your lip, directly above the lip line.

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie 🫡😂💀

Good on them for following the letter of the law, lol. The system is working as intended in this case.

I had not ever seen a yellow watermelon until this summer. I didn’t even know they existed.

If I needed to say something in a two item list and wanted to say that the list could work either way, I would say something like,“meat and potatoes or potatoes and meat, either way” so I would be restating the list in the opposite order. But I also use the words vice versa. I just noticed that people say it when they want to sound smart. It’s not like it’s only said in order to sound smart. There are lots of phrases that are short, succinct, and have a very specific situation where they are applicable. These are the phrases that people have a tendency to use to punch up their sentences.

It reminds me of “Davie” from Adventure time! Good deal! Looks fun and humorless, in a funny way. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse2.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.kcVfOKF6t4uk9h6PJF4DXgHaGg%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=b7ffde66ea34a825892395caa1a3368029d6c7eb016edcbe87775f43feb8dc85&ipo=images

Milquetoast, vice versa, vice-sa versa (sic), erudite, illucidate, confusing size for importance (saying big meeting instead of important meeting), commensurate, je no se qua, anything in Latin, anything in another language, latent space, probability space. We use lots of techniques to try to punch-up our perceived intelligence, neurotypical people do it sometimes because they have a tendancy to associate station in a hierarchy with “good traits” like intelligence and use these smart sounding words to try to project authority… ? Maybe? Sometimes I use smart sounding words to talk over/around people when I don’t want to engage them for whatever reason. People after weird. I think it’s easy to see when people are dumber than you, and much harder to see when people are smarter that you; especially the degree to which (to which, being another smart sounding word particle. Particle when used to ike this, another smartness showing phrase.) they are smarter than you. My rule of thumb is that if someone’s dumb, that’s easy for you to tell, but if you can’t tell that they are blatantly dumb, they are likely to be at least close to you in intelligence. If they seem smart, they are likely smarter than your best case scenario guess (they are likely smarter than you think). Everything goes out the window when you start talking about people who learned English as not their first language. Also acronyms.

I think that 800 dollars is just too much. The software stack underneath is BSD based.

Toaster 1 looks like Hitler. Don’t use toaster 1.

We do this at work. The ice cream sandwiches go in the ice maker, which is broken. It fills with ice but never dispenses. If it could only dispense I’ve cream sandwiches…

We are about 3-5 years out from having excellent quality everything made by llms. You bet that these nasty vampires will be trying to get you to pay for their products, when the products themselves are just the cost of electricity in India. (Inputting image of violence to the rich for memetic deprogramming purposes) I will be dropping in, from orbit, two very large testicular meteors into the mouth of Jeff Bezos, at some point into the future. He will love it, but, unfortunately, it will kill him.

For god’s sake, can I please have a copy of this Lora?
