It has to if you want federated servers. You spin up a server, it needs to know everything it subscribes to.

There is no solution, because it is not a problem. That's just the nature of a federated system.

If I walk in the park, I risk people taking pictures of me. That's the thing about parks, they're public open spaces. The only solution is to stay home.

The og Razr was truly a masterpiece. Sitting on a table, it's vibrations could wake the whole house.

you'd want to hold them for a bit until they get settled then lay them down to let them fall asleep in the bed of choice. Depending on the baby this could take some coaxing, cuddling, etc

I'm 40 and this would still work on me.

Does that not make them a hard link (pointing to a filesystem node) instead of a symlink (pointing to another filename)?

My guess? Data stolen by DOGE 🤷‍♂️

It is one of the ugliest, most complex to configure, pieces of software I've ever used. It's also the best ebook management tool out there. I love Calibre.

100 years ago my grandmother ran a whole train station as 'secretary', while the 'station master' came, smoked, read papers, and pretty much just chilled all day - and getting paid many times her salary.

When they said, "women fought to get paid", they meant, "getting paid commensurate to their work". And in many ways, they are still fighting for it.

I don't see any future for seatbelts, and forcing such an ugly implement in cars might lead to problems.

Seatbelts will kill cars if it persists there long enough.

Ah, you mean the sanctity being championed by their three-times-married dear leader?

Many comic artists have side gigs to actually make a living. I could guess what this person does for their day job.

Also, guess which middle eastern country regularly sends their officers to train the Singaporean military? Hint: it's not Palestine

Gemini is complete garbage in Android Auto

It also can't read labels on gmaps. Can't read people's "nickname" field in contacts (there are so many Roberts). And can't access or write notes without also requiring access to my emails (hell no).

Those are the three things I use AA for, and it's objectively worse at every single one of them.

As a parent, I reckon a voluntary system like this (if I understand correctly) could be very handy. I could create a child account and automatically get age gated content for it.

And when said child is smart enough to circumvent the system, then they deserve whatever content they manage to get their hands on. I'd be so proud.

But I'm sure capitalism would find a way to abuse and misuse the system for gains.

I had to double back to this comic, because I only got the pun two minutes after I scrolled past it...

We had some Hitachi trains here in Australia. "Riding a Hitachi with my friends," was a common weekend activity for me.

Oh and we sometimes catch the train too.

Art should evoke feelings. Disgust is a feeling. Tell her she's a great artist.

... when charged particles move faster than the speed of light

So that got me curious, and found this

nothing travels faster than light in vacuum, but light can be slowed down and something can travel faster than this "slower" light

Somehow I've gone through decades of life without knowing this..

Or just open the thread on an mbin instance. Here's everyone that upvoted this thread.

Edit: Downvotes (reduces) are less exposed, but as you said, someone can just run a fedi instance that exposes them to everyone.
