Unfortunately a lot of parental controls aren’t that helpful, and they’re more of an afterthought

I agree with parenting in general though

I’m curious what their plan is into the future. It must be hard maintaining two separate codebases for the two different games

I’ll take it 😌

Meh, I’d rather let this copypasta be forgotten. It turns cool points into “bad” ones while exaggerating the rest. For example, it’s COOL that this animal evolved specialized digestive organs to process a food in a biological niche that other animals can’t exploit. There’s great variety among animal brain shapes / textures, and having such a complex brain doesn’t guarantee that all humans are that “smart”. Other animals are also sedentary or sleep a lot (sloths, cats) and this is seen as being efficient. Other animals also do things that are pretty gross when viewed through a human lens.

On top of all that, it feels like justification for everything humans are doing to endanger the population.

Nice username 😄

You could also post in existing communities, since the user base is smaller here

Oops, the elephant ate the banana

Does anyone have the original photos of each, especially the second one?

How do I know if it’s a big or small grape?

@pwalker@discuss.tchncs.de, I’m seeing some reports on this post that this is a meme / shitpost (screenshots from a TV show) and not actually a photo. It’s possible you aren’t seeing those reports due to cross-instance moderation issues

I remember seeing articles about people leaving their doors open or windows down in places with lots of smash and grabs

This is so detailed, especially the ISP bit. Thank you!

Feel free to cross post to !canada@lemmy.ca :)

Thank you for editing the title with updated information :)

Regional Instances for Quick Join sounds cool, looking forward to it :)

Check out !selfhosted@lemmy.world for questions about selhisting, and !lemmy@lemmy.ml for questions about running a Lemmy server

I’d recommend including a lot more details in your post about your machine, your budget, why you want to do it, etc

I’m also thinking of video games, but mine isn’t as realistic:

Not sure how you mean. Is it too complicated to make a pull request and edit the file I linked above?

Not at all, I accidentally quoted the wrong text in my reply. I meant to reply to this bit: “Most instances are uncategorized, and country selection is by server IP so Germany also has pixelshot.it listed. Manually specifying countries would be more reliable (but also more effort)”.

I was proposing having an automated system that uses the server IP (or another method), and then overriding it with any manually entered information from that file. That could be paired with an extra visual indicator or filter method to differentiate between the two.

Its not random from the whole list, but selected from a curated list (currently only lemmus.org and thelemmy.club, see #545). Its displayed like this because a lot of people complained that choosing an instance is too complicated.

That’s fair. Maybe you could add a line above those buttons saying something like “We have picked a random instance for you to try:”

That might be enough for the user to understand that the highlighted instance is not official / run by your team.

The images are not great, I will make a similar post soon to get contributions, and feedback for better texts.

Sounds great, looking forward to it!

RadioShack is still around. Not sure how good it is.

Interestingly, it started as a mail order business in the 1920s, switched to retail stores in the 1960s, and then in 2017 it switched back to an online only / mail delivery business.

shrimp taming

Darn I had a chance until that one.

Last time I tried taming shrimp, bad things happened…

A lot of great comments, but another one that’s not mentioned: money and advertising

Open source / non profit run websites don’t have money to burn on mobile ads, and many wouldn’t want to put money into the ad industry even if they did.

It doesn’t guarantee users, plenty of startups fail after promotional campaigns, but it definitely helps people learn about the platform
