Not a boomer but the little bastards chewed through the propane line on my grill so now I throw rocks at em when I see them. They’re formally vermin in my eyes.

“It is what it is”

No it isn’t

If votes became truly public, what would stop a malicious user from automating crawling the fediverse to get a list of every up and down vote a targeted user has ever made? Admins can currently do this, I assume given enough time and intent? Yuck.

I really hope a solution is found and if Lemmy goes the way of truly public votes, it would probably turn this into a nonparticipatory medium for me, I’d still read posts but not vote or comment.

Edit: also, most casual Lemmy users aren’t aware of public votes and would be upset that it already works this way, and only particularly invested or curious users are even reading this thread.

I think most users assume votes are private and most will have a similar reaction to learning about this unintuitive negative feature of anything built on ActivityPub, including Lemmy.

Yeah, if we’re talking NES games, Mega Man 1-3, Ninja Gaiden 1-3 and Castlevania 1-3 all belong on this list

The red marker on the original image probably is the site of this X shaped marking on the top of the western dark region of the “skull” - OP probably assumed the X was the four edges of a pyramidal shape but this 3d Google Earth view from the western “eye” toward the eastern one shows that the X shaped region is flat and not pyramidal.

Edit: probably someone did some mining up there? Or a natural feature? Who knows, let me know if you go check for sarcophagi to prove me wrong

Methylisothiazolinone, what mysteries do you hide?

They were amazing pioneers of shitposting and circlejerking but some people considered them something of a hate group for their callouts of specific subcultures. I’m suggesting that aspect of things that OP is describing isn’t exactly new.

But yeah, agreed, the swift, stark ban policy was very effective in creating a “civil” society there - idiots showed up to fuck around, bam hope they’ve got 10 more bucks if they want to try again under a different account.

Worst case? Covert Israeli influence to propel the far-right into power in Spain. A return to Franco-era fascism. Not terribly likely but it’s hard to imagine worse.

I’d heard this about the Black and Mediterranean Seas but not the Red. Maybe?

Heck yeah, big Sir Roger Penrose fan and although this might not be definitive proof I’m looking forward to more research into the matter

The classical conservatives are often good at barbecue and fixing/building things, and country music was okay in the 90s, I guess.

Porn, anime, sports, a bunch of video games I don’t play, and some spammy or obnoxious communities too. Oh, and foreign languages I don’t speak (until we get built-in translation)

Everything2.org was a significant wikipedia competitor back in the early 00s. It’s still up but I havent been there in a decade and a half. Could be worth your time, it was interesting to get lost in back in the Web 1.0 days

I can’t be the only person who when Uttar Pradesh is abbreviated always thinks of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Yes I know this is World News

Waterpiks are great but not really a substitute for flossing

Tangentially, as an apartment dweller I would love to have a weatherproofed shed that I could store reusable materials in and work on projects. Obviously saving cardboard and other light, flattenable materials isn’t much of a problem but there are definitely things I would keep in my shed like scrap lumber and metal and projects that would take place in my shed that I’d never attempt indoors.

I used to rent a room from a private homeowner who was like minded and properly using the garage/shed space was so… edifying. Helped us get a lot of home repair projects done that would have required a contractor otherwise. Unfortunate that the apartment life leads to such waste and inefficency.
