the meaning was right there dude
Turkeys have weird silhouettes. One minute you think you're looking at a map, the next some broccoli, and before you know it they've got you surrounded
did you know people born on leap years only emerge and exist on leap years?
It's a mark against the US' political landscape that 81 year old Biden and 77 year old Trump are the frontrunners for the presidency, so far as I'm concerned. At that age, any person in a leadership position should be stepping aside to, at most, act as counsel for their successors, or at least simply get out of the way if they cannot meaningfully help.
It speaks against the individuals and the organizations' sense of responsibility to not recognize the limits of themselves or those they prop up. You can forgive a child trying to act older than they are, but an adult acting like they're still in their prime when they're not is simply sad, and it looks bad when others enable and encourage them despite the risks to themselves and others.
It's the third one now meant to be in the third dimension, as it breaks out of the otherwise 2D panels. First attempt at the optical illusion and on review I recognize I should have adjusted it more to better get that across
Perfection meme. This is a simplified vector drawing variation on that, combined with a playful goof on the orb meme that was floating around awhile ago.
I realize you're asking for a list of sites with RSS feeds, but I wanted to highlight an easier method of sometimes finding feeds than that mentioned by Evkob: Feedbro add-on for Firefox.
You can click the icon for it while browsing a site to check for whether or not any feeds are available. Unfortunately it doesn't always find them, I think depending on the part of the site you're browsing or how the feed is being provided, perhaps both, but it's been a pretty useful tool in my experience, especially for sites that seem determined to bury them.
Par for the course with VR/MR headsets tbh. Beyond these finally getting down to a glasses form factor, which is still a fair way off it seems, I don't think there's much that can be done to improve the look of the current form factor when in use.
You start a company (or call it whatever), then someone else does the same. You trade with them. You build.
Expanded/extended mutual aid networks amidst non-profit/not-for-profit companies and worker coops might be really interesting. This reminds me to dig around some more for any histories on attempts of this nature to identify what issues emerged to try to address them.
Web browser would be best if you're really determined to keep all browsing to one app, yeah, probably.
You wouldn't necessarily need to make accounts for each one, only if you wanted to more smoothly participate via commenting/posting/etc. As long as the instance isn't kinda private or running a fork that keeps stuff private or something, generally you can view different instances' content without any account creation whatsoever. It's one of the underrated perks of some of this federated stuff, being that it's closer to the open web than corporate platforms.
I can't speak much to Kbin, but I kinda know from experience with Mastodon that it tends to do a better job at talking to other federated platforms than Lemmy, for sure. In which case you can make a Mastodon account on some instance and follow stuff from Peertube/Pixelfed accounts a little more easily, but given their different focuses, the formatting's typically the kicker and so things may not display as neatly as if you went directly to the instance they're posted from.
Nevertheless, if you're seeing the post in Mastodon, there may be some link back to said instance in some way, whether in the post itself or following through from the person's profile. It's not exactly elegant, but again, you typically won't need to have an account on the remote instance/site to view the content (including additional content), which is already sometimes a step above the corporate platforms.
Tbh it's not totally useless, as it notes the books have only been temporarily removed, and so the reality is that it's neither him being right about a political play nor leopards eating his face...Yet. I haven't found any followup articles on Escambia County Public School District's review of their books, and wouldn't expect to for awhile given they're reportedly reviewing over 1,600+ books for legal compliance. Also, it's kind of ironic that O'Reilly's benefiting from the group Freedom to Read tracking the books under review...
Right now O'Reilly's fuming over kind of nothing, as no decision has been made regarding whether to ban or remove any of the books up for review. They're simply all in-process of review to comply with the ridiculous new legislation. Maybe in that sense it's kind of more of a leopards ate my face situation that his books have even been temporarily pulled for review because of the legislation?
I don't really know what they were expecting though, as I'm guessing many school districts in Florida are having to go through similar processes to avoid running afoul of the law.
This isn't impossible but due to the way each federated platform is structured it does make it more difficult to fold into a single app. What you're looking for, perhaps inadvertently, is essentially a fediverse browser. In that case you're almost better to use a regular web browser with some plugins that may better enable navigation of each platform, as this ensures you're keeping it to one app.
I say almost because your second point makes that less viable, but in itself this would prove a thorny issue regardless as each platform handles filtering/blocking differently, as you've found. I think the latest version of Lemmy has tried to improve on this, but not every instance has updated due to a mixture of details in how different admins/teams want to approach it.
Also, unfortunately iOS further impedes this, given that many of those interested in the fediverse space tend to lean towards Android, so many of the more flexible apps, e.g. Fedilab are Android only. If there are iOS alternatives, I'm simply not aware of them, nor do they surface on a light search.
Unless someone else knows of something for iOS like what you're after, I think for now the "best" approach for navigating different fediverse platforms in a single app may be via web browser and hoping they have a decent mobile UX. However for the best UX you're probably going to want to use multiple apps for each federated platform and toss'em in a fediverse folder/tag on your phone.
Ah...Yeah, that's what I get for skimming. Tbh it's a little confusing, but thankfully it's not stuff viewers need to know necessarily.
Peertube is like an alternative site to youtube. It’s a different place to post your video (you can’t use it to watch YouTube videos to my knowledge)
This is mostly right, I think I'd only clarify that it's not a singular site, much like Lemmy isn't, as instead it's more site software to spin up a YouTube-like video hosting site. Also you're right that you can't use it to watch videos as you might via Piped/Invidious, unless the creator has also posted their video to a PeerTube site/instance.
Last little point that's not super important to know for regular folks is that it's not using bittorrent for helping distribute video loads, it's WebRTC. Still peer to peer, just a different approach to it.
To my knowledge, it hasn't, but that's not the main point of my comment so much as expressing my distrust of the parent company. In that respect, no, I'm not aiming to make a claim that Meta/Facebook have had to disclose messages from WhatsApp to law enforcement and essentially undermine its end-to-end-encryption.
Nevertheless, I think it's reasonable and fair to be suspicious of Meta/Facebook given its history of questionable actions concerning people's data. They're in the business of using people's data for marketing/advertising purposes, not safeguarding it, after all.
It sounds like it, although it looks like it's a 6-digit pin instead from the image in the article.
There's also this additional info directly from Facebook's blog post about all this:
When your chats are upgraded, you will be prompted to set up a recovery method, such as a PIN, so you can restore your messages if you lose, change or add a device.
Personally I'm about as willing to trust this as WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption, given Meta/Facebook's involvement, but thought it was worth keeping folks here apprised of the situation in the corporate space.
If the other person is the one ghosting, or generally being flaky, it's not necessarily anything you're doing wrong. The other person wasn't in a situation to maintain contact to the degree that you were hoping.
The thing with any friendship, and especially a long one, is that there's mutual effort in maintaining it, and that you can't force it, as then it's a one-sided effort and that isn't much of a friendship (or relationship more broadly speaking). As Damaskox points to, finding some activity to do together tends to be how many make friends and maintain friendships, so say playing some game or reading books/watching shows at the same pace and discussing them together may be better than if you were only trying to chat.
The trick remains, however, to not make making friends the explicit point of talking to or doing things with others online or offline, as it tends to read poorly even if the intent is to be upfront/honest.
Keep trying to cast fireball but it just keeps whiffing like an old match against a worn matchbox, "Damn it, why'd I ever listen to those language professors?!"
Ghost Commander may work for this. I've not tried sftp myself, but on opening it I do see the option there, so it might be worth a try.
we're working on interuniversal contact here, one of these has to resonate!
