If you like making fun of quiverfull ministries, programming, Eldritch horrors, British humor (humour?), spy thrillers, agitated engineers, vampires that don’t exist, bloodthirsty elves, and a thinly veiled story about anthropomorphic climate change then this is the series for you.

I double checked that it was an @amazon.com address. The annoying thing was that this email address they sent it to is a new one that I don’t use everywhere, but they somehow got it.

an instance admin typically is admin’ing the database. they can run whatever database query they want.

Headline confused “despite” and “due to”

I have relatives who would get headaches if they didn’t get it. People’s bodies respond differently.

I don’t. I recently logged in just to see what i was missing. More than half my front page was ads, the next 30% was repost bots posting the generic questions for engagement. There were maybe 2-3 posts that were actual posts. I left.

This picture does not understand what a cubic meter actually looks like

There’s a common thing known as “judge shopping”. The big wigs and those with enough money can ensure that a trial goes to a court in an area that is likely to be favorable to their interests.

For example, if a company is going to court because of something environmental or anti-worker, they’ll try to get the court session held in a conservative jurisdiction.

The league of women voters does a great job of presenting information and comparisons on each candidate. They also have a tool to help you make a ballot so you can remember your choices.

Actually, I’m down in Latin America right now and a lot of deliveries are done by bike or scooter. It actually often takes about the same amount of time when in town, maybe a tiny bit longer depending, but because bikes are more versatile than cars - ie smaller, more maneuverable - they can sort of cut through the traffic much easier. In these urban areas, bikes are often faster to get around with, especially if you have infrastructure for it.

But most deliveries down here are on scooter, not in a car.

Something like that, except it’d be DeLarge and it’s in the system with a space and apparently case-insensitive

Edit/Update: It turns out that my last name has a capitol letter in the middle and they put a space in it. Thank god. I can actually vote this year.

Yep, not found

You can open up just about anything and unplug it

I was thinking the community could show you which ones it federated with and you could have a selection for which ones you want. Something like

This community federated with:
.ml | hexbear | .world

• [] .ml
• [X] world
  (I can’t get check boxes right)

But that’s more of an implementation thing and could be done client side

To respond to questions about implementation, I was thinking something along the lines of communities are federated with each other.

Some workflows:
Posting
I want to make a post to c/tech, so I post on tech@lemm.ee, my post then gets federated to the other instance and shows up there. (Servers would want to add de-duping for people who are subbed to both)

Deleting my post
Similar to above, it gets marked as deleted on both

Mod action:
Mod on lemm.ee removes my post, the event and reason get federated. The other instance could be set up to follow the action or have a mod action to do anything with it.

But anyway, for now I’ll try to see if there’s a way to group communities, but I don’t think Sync for lemmy has that.

The reason I was thinking this is because this part of federation actually makes things harder. And then there’s the aspect of “where do you post this”, bc sometimes the community is bigger on another instance, so you cross post just because it’s essentially the same thing, just somewhere else.

She’s a witch. She’s got this.

You can tie them in a knot or you can tie them in a bow

Yeah it really feels like they almost have a sense of class consciousness and when you tear away the “politics” from the politics, they know who’s fucking them over.
