Just a nerd who migrated from kbin(dot)social.
Yes, anyone reasonable knew that this would lead to higher costs. Americans are expensive to employ. The point of the tariff package is to bring back manufacturing and production to the USA. Stop importing so much crap from China and other places, and things will balance out. That increase in costs should be compensated for by jobs for American citizens across all sectors if people respect the purpose of the tariffs - to disincentivize imports whenever and however possible.
I’ve been binging Perry Mason.
@[email protected] Don’t worry so much, the director, Hal Sutherland did very well for himself.
@[email protected] And Bester was played by Walter Koenig, aka Pavel Chekov.
@[email protected] He also wrote Cthulhu mythos stories, including Jerusalem’s Lot, which he adapted into 'Salem’s Lot.
@[email protected] No, the Kzin themselves are still brown, even with their bat-ears. It’s their uniforms that got made day-glo purple.
Quite the opposite. The death of Mozilla Corp will drive the community to greater heights. I expect to see Floorp, Librefox, and even Basilisk/Pale Moon having a voice in the conversation of post-MozCo Firefox.
When I say “feed”, I mean the general homepage I see when I log into my account, rather than my Subscribed, Following, etc. views. I understand your concern, but if other related communities don’t suit you, then you’re free to block them as they come up. I think a ratio of 4 “in-bubble” to 1 “related” post would be fair. Maybe there could even be a slider somewhere depending on your software.
One of the few reasons I’ve never minded that part of the presentation on larger social media sites is that they operate on an opt-out model compared to the fediverse’s (current) opt-in model. But I think there’s enough transparency in “you like [email protected], here’s content from other groups we know with names containing ‘memes’”.
I may have to try out Quiblr, but I strongly prefer kbin/mbin to Lemmy, because I enjoy interacting with both the microblog side and the thread side of the fediverse on a single account. If mbin ever gets a video tab (for Loops & PeerTube), I’m going to jump for joy.
At the time it released, 99% of my software was DOS-based, and in fact I had 1 game that I distinctly remember (Sonic CD) which only ran on Win9x, and could not run on any version of NT. I had no problems with Me, and kept a copy of it on my main PC until XP SP2.
Given the way things are in my perspective, what I want on mbin & lemmy is somewhere like a mix of 1 & 2, with 3 as a solid option. I know that the torches and pitchforks are about to come out, but I’ll try to outline the way I see it.
When I’m in a meme-scrolling mood, I have to look up meme magazines / communities to start (Method #3). Fine, that’s working as intended. Obviously that will lead naturally to Method #1; as I subscribe and gradually follow other posters, my bubble will grow.
But what I want for the ‘threadiverse’ is a more unified suggested page. If I’m in, let’s say, [email protected], I’d like to also have my feed show content from [email protected], or lemm.ee, or whatever other threadiverse instances that my chosen instance is federating with. I’d also like to see “subject memes” on my meme feed as a default - Science Memes, Star Trek Memes, etc… That falls under Method #2 - because I want the software to predict that because I’ve subscribed to memes@*, and interacted with content from memes@*+1, that I will also like *memes*@*. Obviously this could also be a matter of tagging and magazine integration, but that’s something that would help the fediverse feel more united and less daunting for people.
Obviously dealing with the microblog side, mandatory tags or some form of community selection would be great to help out. It would be nice to see more microblog entries from Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, etc., sorted into magazine-like collections by tags.
Win10 is not that bad. And Me was never as bad as Vista or (especially) 8. Also, Linux is not a linear curve, it’s stepped.
Is ATProtocol as open as ActivityPub in terms of content? Could there be a Bluesky equivalent of Peertube, for example?
Now I’m afraid to try and find bluesky meme communities. If it’s winword, any image must throw the whole thing into utter madness.
mbin is both Reddit and Twitter.
This reads like you and your mother have had a longstanding negative relationship. I don’t believe you or she are in the right place to discuss the extent of your disagreement or the source of it, based on what I’m reading here. Until you are, I think it might be healthier for both of you to walk away for a few years. I don’t know her, so I don’t know if she’s an objectively bad person. What she said, and the actions you’ve described, sound a lot like someone who doesn’t know how to consciously process the emotions around having someone they should love making choices that they find morally reprehensible.
So I don’t know if she’s a bad person. I can tell that the relationship you have with her is bad, and you should focus on your happiness and coping mechanisms.
I’ll put my hand up and say that I will wish I worked harder. My job is simple and i work remote. If I was willing to work harder, I could either move up in the company or move to a competitor. That would get me more money. More money would help me to pay rent on a nicer place to live. And then with the new nice place, I could get the rest of my head in order. So I will absolutely go to my doom wishing I worked harder, put in more hours, and showed a high degree of dedication.
If it’s from MSU, it can safely be ignored.
Source: I went there. Gained nothing but a piece of paper. Lost time, money, and effort.
Man, I wish. There’s a lot of money in that field.
Lost touch with most of my friends during the lockdowns, no romantic connections pending, and home sucks. Work is my escape.
I’m just waiting on incoming news about Hochul cheating on her husband.
