You need to use trigger warnings for this kind of shit.

I feel like this article is missing the main point. Yes; assholes trying to prevent black and minority success continue to be a thing same as ever.
But getting the police boot lifted off your neck a little has got to be a good thing, right? Tell me about that! Have arrests and hassling gone down or not?
So what is actually the deal with CutCo? I know they’re a scam, everyone knows they’re a scam, but this one particular woman I know to be in general not a dummy, says her son spent the summer selling their knives once and made good money.
Was he just lying to her? How does the scam work?
It must be my client then (Memmy for iOS). I don’t see any crude ASCII drawing.
I’m not sure if the problem is your post or my client, but I’m not seeing any drawing here.
I’m imagining what happens is they organize a giant search party to look for you (this is not the good kind of giant party) Eventually they find your corpse and put it in a refrigerator for a long time while your relatives argue with the police about whether you were kidnapped and murdered. Somebody pays for all this, maybe the tax payers, maybe your relatives, I don’t know. Then after all that you finally get to have your expensive funeral but on top of being sad, everybody is frustrated.
I’m thinking, better all around if you just don’t die quite yet because that shit is just awkward.
Gluck auf!
The 4-part series on how fusion works was surprisingly great
I was thinking more like a split into North Illinois and South Illinois. I think we’d have to see South Illinois standing on its own before any mergers with Iowa or Indiana are on the table. Wisconsin or Michigan… I do not see that happening, no.
Yes and for the same reason — they are both French words for groups of people.
Except two states called Illinois is different from two people from the Illini tribe and sometimes plural Quebecois is Quebeckers so I wouldn’t place any solid bets on sanity in naming when we get our 2nd Illinois

She is wearing a snood. This looks like extremely purposeful Renaissance to me.
What did MEC do? I never heard of them before last month when I bought a backpack while visiting Canada.
I was talking about charging subscription fees for the instance login, not ads. I imagine if you wanted to fork lemmy and change it to inflict ads on your instance users you could do that, too.
I’m not thinking it’s an awesome business proposition right now, but if the fediverse gets big enough that users are willing to pay for Enterprise Reliability™ then I could see it happening.
It used to be that you could self-host your email server or use your cool friend’s server. But these days almost everybody uses commercial hosting. I see lemmy and mastodon going the same way if they grow enough.
This is an excellent case in point — for most instances there kind of just, somebody felt like making an instance and here it is. If you don’t know anybody specifically there’s not much reason to pick one over another. Maybe in future somebody will start up commercial instances like email providers and charge extra to have better reliability or a cool name or whatever but so far the instances seem to be pretty much run for the sake of neighborly kindness and fun.
Some instances have enough of a special interest that they get a distinct identity and reputation.
If you go look at what’s posted/hosted locally on the hexbear instance you’ll see it’s got a shit-ton of general trolling, shit-disturbing, lib-pwning, and general 4chan activity. If that’s your jam, you can sign up there and have a “local” feed with that kind of content, concentrated.
Meanwhile I’ve seen a number of calls to defederate from hexbear recently and if you sign up there you will not see or interact with whomever is posting from those instances who say no to trolling.
I used XMPP for years, then my work switched to using it, then my work switched to Slack.
XMPP was fine.
They employed Ghislaine Maxwell?? In what capacity?
One screen is fine if it’s huge :)
You really can see more than one at a time, though. I have a lot of tasks in my day that take some minutes to complete.
When I’m working on two screens, I can leave the window open running the task on one screen, and work on something else or read the news or whatever on the other screen. When my task is done, I notice right away and get on with the next step.
When I’m working on just one small laptop screen, I have to remember to switch back and check periodically. It takes me much longer to notice the task is done this way, and distracts me from whatever I’m trying to get done in the meantime while waiting.
Two screens, or anyway enough real estate that I don’t need to full-screen the app I’m working in, is extremely useful to me for this reason.
I am personally impressed. That is a very bad year.
