Seeing this made me feel so cozy in my little instance. 😆
Over the past year, Meta has hired dozens of Twitter employees
LOL, you mean all those employees you unceremoniously fired?

Reddit threatens the mods of r/CyberpunkGame (the main subreddit for Cyberpunk 2077). Mods decide to go down in a blaze of glory, whole sub agrees.
This one can't possibly end well for reddit. If they remove the mods...
A) They leave the sub open until they find new ones, and the userbase goes even more crazy with NSFW content until then.
B) They close the sub until they find new ones, encouraging most of the userbase to leave, and likely not come back when it reopens.
C) They accept the flood of troll requests to takeover the sub, and the userbase goes even more crazy with NSFW content, but also with mod support.
Not exactly a win for the userbase, but much bigger not-win for reddit, and it's gonna be fun to watch.

Dude's got a point, but I still can't help but think...
"Dodongo Cavern is blocked by a giant boulder. We're starving!"
"Why don't you eat the boulder?"

Also, it WAS profitable, for the vast majority of its history. It only stopped being profitable something like 8-10 years ago, when Congress mandated that (IIRC) pensions had to be funded 70 years in advance.

What are your thoughts on being called Lemmings if this platform becomes a staple?
It's the only sensible option.

Is your e-mail address private on Lemmy or are other users able to see it somehow?

Email requirements for registration are set per-instance. Beyond that, it's my understanding that only a user's existence is shared across instances, in order to attach you to your content. Your registration details stay on the instance you belong to.

Definitely a result of recency bias here, but in a couple of scenes in Tears of the Kingdom, Ganondorf is flanked by two female Gerudo with unique outfits. If you translate the Hylian text on these outfits, they say Koume and Koutake.

The Ugly Truth: Inside the “We Buy Ugly Houses” Company
When people say that financial literacy needs to be taught in schools, this is the kinda thing we mean. Payday Loans, Rent To Owns, Flipping, MLMs, stuff that happens in the REAL world that people should be able to recognize as too-good-to-be-true.

My FU to reddit - Disrupting Substantial Traffic and Rebuilding on Lemmy

Right, I think the point is that they can more easily identify strings of deletions that look like they came from a script" as opposed to activity that looks like legitimate user activity, because it was actually performed ny a user.

Texans Die from Heat Exhaustion After Governor Bans Water Breaks
What a HORRIFICALLY misleading headline.
A) Water breaks aren't banned, just no longer mandated under some local ordinances. Still mandated by federal law, in theory.
B) The law hasn't even gone into effect yet.
C) The deaths referred to are not from lack of water. It even specifically suggests lack of air conditioning.

Oh. It's a photo of a plate. At first glance, Inthought it was a clear glass plate on top of an iPad. What the actual fuck?

Has there been any talk of defederating Meta/Threads?
It depends on how well they can be trusted with having access to all the data we would be sharing with them.
Since the answer for "how much can we trust Meta with any amount of data" is "not at all", that's an easy "defederate immediately".

Help finding value of burnt resistor.
You measured the resistor at 403 Ohms? That would qualify it as "not failed" then. Resistors pretty much exclusively fail open, or on rare occasions, out-of-tolerance on the high side. After 5 years of doing electronics diagnostics for USAF aircraft, I never say any other type of resistor failures.

[Q] Router DNS question
Reply in thread
Definitely this. If you're absolutely sure you can't change config on the router, then you just treat it like a modem. Let it serve up one, single DHCP lease to your own router and run your network off of that.

YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private

All you have to do is host your own instance and other instances you connect with mirror their content to yours. It's part of the design of the protocol to help reduce user load on any particular server. While users can see content from any connected instance, direct communication happens almost exclusively with their own instance.

Also probably tightly-related to the OGL 2.0 controversy, which peaked like a month or two before the movie.

Are there any shoes for my playstation one feet?
A professional podiatrist should be able to both verify your assessment of what size you need and offer options for where you can get them, if they are indeed exotic and not carried by normal retailers. They ought to have access to medical suppliers for exotic stuff.
