What’s with the trailer looking like a U-haul teeter-totter?
Adding to my own comment:
Shoutout to all of you Lemmings and Fedizens for participating in this platform, and staying in our communities despite many features still early in development compared to established platforms. Thank you for that.
If you can believe it, Trump supporters will accept the Ohio immigrant pet eating story as true.
Somehow media is pitching the “moderate position” as halfway between anywhere within the normal range of political positions and the crazy positions.
These funding milestones sound great! Very excited on future improvements.
Dessalines and Nutomic have done great jobs along with the rest of the Lemmy contributors. Adding Phiresky and Sunaurus to the development team is also very positive and I appreciate the diversification of origin instance in the team. This will be useful in the rare but totally understandable event that a part of the team may need to break for a while.
Multi-communities and post tags would be an absolute game changer if implemented.
“Yeah, here, check my /dev/null real quick”
Do other LAN games work? I don’t think vanilla or modded makes a difference but you can test on both.
Sanity check that you are using Hamachi’s/VPN’s assigned local IP instead of your router’s local IP.
Is the Windows machine the host or Linux? If Windows check that Firewall is disabled for Java (assuming Java edition) and Minecraft.
Why Lemmy/The Fediverse is so good: you can watch the world fall part from dozens and dozens of apps!
Bring your best self, instead of your best caricature impression of somebody else you think would be successful.
The goal is just to get to know each other and talk a bit, and see if you both think that hanging out with each other more would be fun. Frame it like that and you might feel a little less anxious or awkward.
Generally that’s how it goes on Lemmy, I find a difference with Reddit is that I see way more -20 or lower comments that have really stupid and disagreeable takes but they’re there for everyone to see instead of getting removed.
The thing is that each server has a different operating philosophy and that’s another strength. Some are more laissez-faire and allow more speech freedom, others are strict either on vibes or on certain topics. Slrpnk is trying out a moderation bot that spots users with regular patterns of downvoted submissions on a community with automatic temp bans, which is interesting to see the variety of tolerance.
The thing is that sometimes you have to filter out the jerks… or else the jerks will be all you have left. Growth is not the only thing you need to foster a healthy online community. You need values that make people want to be there. That’s why the variety of enforcement styles, while it can create echo chambers, it also shows the Fediverse’s strengths.
There are/were some users and communities… a couple of Lemmy examples I remember…
Wolfballs was a conservative troll Lemmy server that was quickly defederated by major servers for their antics. They shut they server down after some years, way before Lemmy got to the size it is now.
Old_Geezer (@[email protected]) was a prolific poster and was a long time Lemmy member on Lemmy.ca, had some decent takes, but modded a geopolitics community where daily he posted the right-wing version of Russian propaganda, banning anyone that posted stuff there that went against that narrative. About 3 months ago, he was getting tired of the community pushback, eventually got banned by admins for his moderating behaviour.
[email protected] is an example of an active conservative community on Lemmy. You can see there is one regular poster and nearly all the posts are net downvoted. I request people don’t go there just for the purpose of picking a fight.
Most community mods and site admins don’t proactively remove conservative opinions as long as they aren’t personal attacks or trolling, and that they’re not being xenophobic in a community that’s meant to have safe discussion for a group (e.g. anti-trans rhetoric in a trans-oriented community). However conservative opinions do get downvoted heavily by users, occasionally getting reported which sometimes leads to comment removals and bans. So it can be tiring to keep participating in a generally left-leaning network that rejects or is hostile to them.
I won’t let 4chan take my dreams away from me.
But I’m thinking I may settle for this.
You know what was eye-opening to me? I was once talking to a couple homeless women sitting outside a parish on a cold Canadian winter day, they were saying government needs to restrict access further to free and subsidized programs.
Apparently there were too many undeserving homeless people using the program that can’t take care of a place if it’s free, so according to these poor women, they shouldn’t let people like themselves have a roof over their head unless they can put up a $1-5k deposit for a unit. I wished them a good day, and gave them $10 each and my gloves…
It’s because the American culture of individualism has successfully divided up worker’s power that makes standing against wealthy and powerful individuals next to impossible.
I will say this because people in the US don’t seem to look out for neighbours that they can’t see.
Vote for politicians who will empower the working class and take billionaires and multinational corps down a notch. Don’t let culture war distractions take people’s eyes off the ruling class intentionally diverting the attention away from them.
Team up with your neighbours… you don’t have to start a protest/riot immediately but ask them if they’ve had a similar issue with the landlord’s autopay system. Have barbecues or potluck dinners with them on occasion.
Go to your local city council when an issue you care about comes up. Write to your city council, state rep, house rep and senators about things that concern you. Join local movements or participate in their events to enact change you want to see. United you will be stronger.
In the NBA, Rule 6.I.e.2. shows
Ball entering basket from below
As an infraction that awards the other team possesion of the ball. So if this happens and the referee blows the whistle to call it out or even indicates that this infraction occurred after the fact, then the ball was dead and so the ball falling back in the basket does not count for points.
Yikes. Appears that this one might have caught fire?
Maybe. But Scooter is experiencing the immediate need for long pats on the back.
I know you are talking about interactions between 2 people on foot. However, when it comes to automobile and pedestrian interaction, interestingly, the government of the Canadian Province of Ontario has a website dedicated to pedestrian safety, and specifically recommends walking on the side of oncoming traffic:
If there is no sidewalk on a street, or if you use a wheelchair or scooter and the sidewalk you encounter is not wheelchair-accessible street, you should:
So some may apply this principle to a different situation.
$0.11 Canadian/kWh, my usage is about 150kWh per person per month, but I don’t have summer AC. There’s a higher rate beyond a threshold of 675kW/h but that’s still under 15 cents. With a zero-use daily charge including municipal levies about 30 cents per day, and some fluctuations based on power sold, imported and other costs (my last bill had like $3 in credits). All in all about CA$25/mo ($18US).
Charged by BCHydro, the provincial power regulator. I’ve been really shocked at how cheap utilities are overall in BC, I budgeted about 3 times the amount I needed when I first moved.
