  • Would likely only work if federated only with other Lemmy instances with the same requirements, but yeah, I could imagine something like that evolving.

  • So, I'm going to offer a dissenting opinion. Please hear me out before piling on.

    The anonymous internet is going to kill the internet. Without verification and attachment back to a real human, eventually the internet will just be flooded with bots, misinformation, and unverifiable information. The dead internet theory.

    So, yes, we all worry about "Chinese style social credit scores" or corporate ownership of ID or whatever other dystopian bullshit... But what if you just want to have a site where people can talk to one another and know that they're people that actually have to take responsibility for what they say.

    Anyway, I suspect that this will start in isolation. Like when the internet was young and communities were forming with knots of small people... Forums with full verification requirements or similar. Then they will grow once their quality exceeds everything else.

    Discuss!

  • Go. Try to be like water - neutral, neither invested nor disinvestes. Fish, chat, be pleasant, and let the time flow over you. In a short while it won't matter to you anymore, but it'll matter to your son.

  • Asexual... Aka, "not horny enough". What a thing to throw someone out over. Fuck them.

    I'm assuming you have no friend network to rely on, otherwise you'd have pulled that thread already. But, if you want to be truly ironic, go ask the church your parents go to for help.

    Lemmy won't have enough traction in the local communities to provide enough eyeballs, but you might try posting to your local community anyway, as there will be more immediate options available.

    Most cities have a crisis centre or similar that can help point you in the right direction. I only know about Winnipeg, but there are places like The Main Street Project, Turning Leaf, Siloam Mission, and many others. Go in, be friendly, calm, and listen to their advice. They may be able to connect you within the support system to temporary beds - at least you'll be warm. If you're in a small town, you might have luck walking into the local police station and asking to use the cell for the night just to stay out of the cold, and they can usually help connect you to local support options.

  • We can't even agree on the definition of life (within the context of the search for life). Largely we've settled on: whatever definition helps win grants!

  • Land whale. My new favourite phrase

  • It begins. Fascism requires enemies within and without.

  • A 32 but integer can store a number up to four billion. If measuring RAM size in integer bytes, 32GB would be 0 bytes, because that integer would wrap around four times.

    Assuming windows, if you right click on the executable, you may be able to choose to run it in a compatibility mode of some sort (like XP mode or something) in which case it should report smaller memory to the game, probably.

  • Sundog is on both sides, just using the steam to tone down the brightness of the sun for higher dynamic range, to allow the colours of the sundog to photograph better.

    It's not really steam either -- it's a sign of really cold air causing the natural gas furnace exhaust to condense rapidly. The exhaust wouldn't normally be visible.

    It's quite cold here. Currently -20°C on the ground and certainly much colder as you go upwards.

  • Mulroney scrapped the full conversion because it was Trudeau Sr that implemented it. Can't have anything nice ;)

  • This article is written as though it is targeting FOSS newbie or something -- a weird mix of jargon and simple language designed to overawe someone.

    Their VCS is at least as interesting as SQLite :)

  • I am not a career machinist -- but I have a tiny manual 10" lathe and I'm terrified of it.

  • Oh definitely. However the warning joke appears to imply that even attempting to use it will alter you in some comic supervillain sense or something.

  • On a lathe? Doesn't make sense. Maybe on a crucible or dewar or something...

  • I'd wager there is a leadership race within two months, and she is positioned for that now.
