Despite all that other stuff, the fact that they're in the US and therefore calling for an ambulance would cost in the thousands probably had more bearing on the situation than them being terrible parents. I wonder how many small children have died due to preventable disease or injury with good, yet financially poor, parents who hesitated to call an ambulance.
It sounds like you've already got server moderators though, in a similar way to how lemmy.world has theirs set up? I understand it's a bodge but they're effectively the same thing. The only difference would be actually naming and promoting them as people that are taking care of the community. That way people can see them taking care of the community.
It's really good to hear that you would hand the community over before shutting it down. As for right now though, I think there could be a more public face to this extended moderation team? .World has their "server moderators", who I think work via bot as well, quite publicly talked about and empowered to interact with the community. I think that might be a way to achieve a balance, and would mean that reports that require interaction can be seen to outside of your own timezone.
I don't know, it's not like there are moderation issues right now, but it would give you the capacity to take yours eyes off things for a day or two and unwind, and I think that's important.
I'm not sure about paid, but I mean, if there's will for it by the userbase I'd chip in. I think there's a decent amount of people who would be good at the role and want to volunteer.
This really makes me wonder if we should have more admins here on Blahaj in case Ada ends up feeling burnt out. I don't really see Kaity around at all so it's just her doing the moderation for the whole instance.
If it's 99% isopropyl then it's probably fine to leave it on now, as it has really low conductivity. The warmth from being on will also help evaporate it faster.
I agreed with everything in your first paragraph but your second one just seems like needless 'holier than though' drivel. Bazzite has it's own unique pros, and both are great options for gamers.* However, when it comes to having a OEM-like experience on a Legion Go under Linux, Bazzite, Nobara or Chimera are a better fit. That's my usecase and why I chose Bazzite, I wanted a Steam Deck experience with a better screen and more powerful chip. It was also well before SteamOS had any support for other devices.
Bipolar isn't a personality disorder, it's a mood disorder. Otherwise, obviously I can't convince you of my sincerity, but I am genuinely terrified of ever wanting to go off my medications. Thankfully it hasn't crossed my mind seriously once in ~8 years.
Yeah it's a little strange. Swift is Apple's own programming language, and there was an older Jellyfin app on iOS that didn't use it and so wasn't fully "native" in a similar way to how most social media apps are just a web browser.
You're right, I misspoke with the term anonymous, it's actually pseudononymous the same as Lemmy or Reddit are. It's not like there is a published index of names to wallet addresses.
That's the point I was making. In Australia, wire transfers through your bank are free, attached to a phone number or email address (rather than account numbers), almost always instantaneous and 24/7.
Not really. Zelle seems to just be US banks implementing the payment and bank-to-bank transfer systems that other countries already have. Except, at least for Australia with our 'Osko' system it has the involvement of our Reserve Bank and is mandated to be supported universally, whereas Zelle is completely private. The traditional lack of that bank-to-bank transfer ability is why apps like Venmo and Cash App have been popular in the US, which I think explains why Zelle has had an app until last month, as consumers expect that, even though it's owned by the major US banks.
Taler on the other hand seems to be "What if crypto but with fiat currency and also the recipients aren't anonymous".
Countries who make their citizens second guess calling an ambulance with the threat of crippling debt aren't good countries.
