I kinda like RGB but not in the pulsating rainbow way how it seems to always be on marketing materials.

I like keeping it to one colour, with the intensity at half. It is nice to change it a few times a year for a fresh look.

The fonts and other stuff, I don’t care that much as long as the components are good quality. Maybe subconsciously I would consider design if I had to choose between options that performed and cost relatively equally.

I think the state legislature and governor will be more of a hurdle to clear than council. Since in US and Canada, most municipal powers are rooted in state/provincial legislation, they have the ability to override or veto, sanction or outlaw anything the city tries to implement. Gov. Hochul is an establishment Democrat so I expect some efforts to water down the most radical policies, but aside from her characteristic flip-flopping she won’t try to put herself in the way of city politics.

I’d think four times: 4:20, 4:35, 7:20, 7:35

Since when were 3 basketballs allowed in the game at once?

Italians are concerning themselves too much with America

Oh, right, good to know.

[email protected] is a mix of news articles, discussion and anything Canadian that doesn’t really fit well anywhere else.

I’m just going to assume Left Wing Orthodoxy means not being a bigot, i.e. paying a minimum respect to minority groups and showing a little bit of empathy. Voat used to be a thing where shitheads flocked, that’s been gone for a while. The Fediverse edgelord troll habitats were Wolfballs and ExplodingHeads, those died years ago after being widely defederated there was no one left for them to troll.

[email protected] used to be a lite version of Conservative echochamber news, but it turned into a satirical version of itself eventually and the instance is shutting down next week.

So no, there’s currently no place for shitheads and trolls on the connected Fediverse, but we do have a growing selection of niche hobby communities, still small but they’re up and coming.

C.A.H. hired an eminent domain expert lawyer to stall the process, probably you’d need legal advice for your idea.

I think contributors were given a recognition that they helped buy 0.00067% of the land, it wasn’t officially subdivided between the contributors nor were they given a share.

I mean as a Canadian, I knew that was coming since early last year if Trump would win. I couldn’t know where we would land on the spectrum between nothing changed and Armageddon. What I did know was that, without fail, I would hear what stupid thing Trump did just about every day in the news, and it would be overwhelmingly exhausting.

I have three pieces of advice. First, connect with the people around you offline, reinforce your ground truth. Second is keep your eyes on the ball of what you want to be better in the world so that you can keep going after it. Lastly, don’t let right or left wing online propaganda, or the despair from crises the US, Israel, Russia, China or North Korea stir up paralyze you from taking action on those two things.

But those are ouchie fire lamp

You’re probably not the only one.

However, the interest (on Lemmy-aligned circles at least) in self-hosting, reducing depedence on large tech companies, community building on smaller scale online and offline, has me excited again that the smaller counterculture can co-exist with the mainstream profit-motivated social media culture.

Going backwards in time, they had metal and brass containers, before that they had wooden buckets and barrels, ceramic pots, carved out animal parts or fruit of plants.

Before farming, probably a good portion of the water early people subsisted on was from the food they ate. (Berries and fruit, fish, meat, etc.) Water might pool around rocky areas after rain, even if there was no stream nearby in a pinch.

First off, as a pizza expert, I will say that the best way to keep your toppings from sliding off your pizza is to use a stapler.

Well, anything you post online could be scraped by AI. This is an open public-facing forum so there’s no real expectation of privacy (even DMs). And personally I’d rather have everyone who wanted to see what I have to say be able to see it, instead of some for-profit entity deciding who can see it or if they want to package up the whole dataset to sell to an AI company.

Crafty admins check their server traffic every now and then for unusual bandwidth spikes from scraping activity and can ban certain address spaces or client types. But those are more band-aid solutions that will only deal with performance hits, it can’t prevent archiving nor AI model-ingesting to begin with.

So if a brand new instance is started, it does not retroactively receive any content from other servers. Only ones that were connected by a link at the time content was posted will have a copy, essentially.

To know which posts will be kept on different servers, look up your own username, e.g. https://lemmy.ca/u/[email protected]

Many songs if I like enough I figure out some of the words when looking for the title. Otherwise I remember them then forget them for a while. A couple famous examples I like:

Dschinghis Khan - Moskau, it’s a bop, i know the melody but lyrics I only know parts of.

O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tea - this one of course I know front to back but I don’t know what a single word means.

Honestly inviting anyone over is motivation for me to clean. In my own space, there’s stuff everywhere, but when someone’s coming my standards for personal cleanliness and organization shoot up dramatically.
