Ok so what I do is I grab all the cords as tightly as I can against my body, then roll duct tape around it. Make a couple passes to really squeeze down the size. Also get a bright color tape so you can see the cords later. I use neon orange

Nice. What do you plan to do with it?

I use Brave browser, which has ad and tracker blocking built in.

I also have all my devices using a piHole for ad, malware, and tracker protection.

I play a video game (usually a retro one) on a low difficulty level. Then beat the computer over and over again. Bonus points if it’s a game I usually avoid because it’s too hard.

Gives a constant feeling of satisfaction at beating the computer over and over.

Coffee, black. I’m a regular joe and I like my joe regular.

Same here. I also commuted. Honestly I felt kind of robbed of the college experience I wanted. I went to grad school and had a much funner time.

I use vger.app on the desktop. I got hooked on it on my phone and iPad. And the desktop works great too.

Good. I didn’t see in the article which territory is covered by the security guarantees (Crimea?). Also no update on Ukraine’s admission to NATO.

This would have been unthinkable six months ago. I’m glad the Ukrainians are taking care of business.

Christie was one of the first to drop out of the 2016 primary race in support of Trump. He’s also responsible for essentially ending Rubio’s campaign right in the middle of a debate.

His early Trump support will always define him to me. With that said I’m glad he is actually speaking truth now.

My opinions are the same as yours, in my little experience. There’s not a lot of content on there, you can’t see content from other instances, and the content that is on there is not high quality.

One thought that crossed my mind was having a PeerTube instance backing each of the major Lemmy instances for video upload. Anything to reduce our dependence on corporate frequently used sites like YouTube and imgr.

Ok so here’s where it starts falling apart in my head. First, as another poster mentioned, the costs would be through the roof compared to a link aggregating site like Lemmy. From what I understand PeerTube does some Bit torrenty stuff to reduce bandwidth usage. And IPFS could help as well. But at the end of the day you need a server hosting this as a source of truth, with the monumental cost that accounts for.

The other huge problem is moderation. We need strong moderation because jackasses are going to upload CSAM. As single files. Spliced into the middle of legitimate videos. And the fediverse is way too important to have it be associated with that crap. So like I said, extremely strong moderation, for free.

I want to see Peertube take off and overcome these hurdles. If there’s anything I can help develop I’d be happy to take on a ticket.

Sounds like a jerk. Hey if she wants to be a a manager maybe she could be transferred to a different store… 🤞

If you have private 1-1 conversations with your boss that might be a good time to bring this up.

Anything by Halsey. If I have to pick one I’ll say “Closer”

That is really interesting. I had not heard of the ethical listences before.

I imagine with licenses like those it would increase the beaurocracy and legal review for corporations. And that’s probably not such a bad thing.

Good article. I would imagine one large stressor for admins is “how am I supposed to pay for this?” With instances needing to upgrade because of the huge influx of users.

The article suggests a non-profit for mental health support for admins and moderators. While I like the idea, I think we can go further—a non profit to help pay for running instances and paying admin and developer salaries. The names mentioned in the article would make sense for something like this (for instance, Mozilla. Also, how about the EFF?)

I might start NSMBUD myself, we’ll see. I’m still playing Dragon Quest and it is really heating up. Love this game. Also I think there’s a Rilaboom available in SV Pokémon raids this weekend, so I’ll fight for that.

It was an abnormally cold and wet winter. Climate deniers here are basically saying “shit happens”

Nice workaround!

As much as I appreciate what she has accomplished in her career, it is long past time to step down. I agree with the poster advocating for an age limit for public servants.

This is very interesting. What date will show up in Lemmy for the post? The current date/time or the original?
