Picture looks adversarial af. Caption: They’re all friends.

Yeah, okay.

Blockchain is effectively a distributed database. Almost always a good centralized database functions better.

I think Italian and Irish are now acceptable. Maybe choose one of those.

feel free to wow them with contactless payments

This is quite dated. Per Forbes, "Nearly 90% of U.S. consumers now use contactless payments, "

Tip at restaurants where they take your order at the table and bus your table, 15-20% of the total. Absolutely don’t tip at those kiosks at the counter. They’ll beg for a tip because software. You’re absolutely fine to hit skip or custom 0. Don’t normalize that shit.

How much does the setup cost? assuming I’m already self hosting and have some disk space.

VPN and a seed box?

Selling what data? It’s already public.

But something like $7 for premium without ads is absolutely sustainable. But, you know, line go up more.

I’ve really enjoyed the GE Cync Matter bulbs. They respond instantly, and I’ve had no issues with them disconnecting the way Nanoleaf bulbs would.

They do seem to really easily go to a peach color instead of warm, but you learn where you can set the temperature before it goes peach.

I only buy Matter/Thread now, despite manufacturers making that difficult.

Note that you may already have a Thread Border Router. Many of the Alexa-like devices have the functionality.

It embeds in posts, not in my comment.

(check out modern computing for why!)

Because when you need to do a process a thousand times, you program it in an actual computer. Then you just have a specific interface for just your process that makes everything simple.

And the developer really only needs to understand the process for a couple months. Once it’s confirmed working correctly, you’re generally done with that piece of code.

If you just link directly to XKCD it does embed properly (for posts). I just tested.

most likely they don’t give a crap.

We do, a little. But we also can’t manually curate the entire instance. For things like this, it really helps if someone comes and talks to us, especially if they’re willing to volunteer.

I don’t think that was a legitimate reason to lock the sub. Often, when you disagree with someone, you can use words instead of mod/admin tools. And that mod created an obvious strawman to rage against. They wanted much heavier moderation than we typically do, and I don’t think we’re extremely light on moderation.

Not every problem needs to be solved with mod/admin tools. Absolutely nobody said rape was okay.

“Rape is less severe than normal” is not such a dangerous opinion that mods/admins need to get involved. If you are offended and/or disagree, that’s what your words are for.

I encourage mods to use words instead of mod tools whenever possible.

Saw a yard sign in a rural area the other day. “I’m a vet, not a loser or a sucker.”

It does say, prominently, “Who you vote for is secret.”
