Times change, and people are slow. 'Colored people' used to be the most PC, now it's an insult. Because it could, in any old fart's brain, be either the most PC thing or an insult, you never know if the person is doing so intentionally or not, which sucks because:

• if someone uses it unintentionally and people jump on them, that just makes them bitter
• someone who is racist can use not knowing as a smoke screen
• people who are really "with it" on social issues can also be quick to blame, and low on tolerance, and high on trauma or virtue signaling.

..the divide just grows until people resolve it inside themselves.

Be careful not to cross that line of request vs desperation.

Like on YouTube - A tasteful "don't forget to like and subscribe" is fine, but mentioning it multiple times during a video is just increasingly demanding or cringe.

Stellaris. Extremely long games, a lot to learn.. ..and they change it. Mechanics that worked before stop working. The bad parts are added to same become a DLC, the good parts disappear or are algal paved in DLC. Overall, it just doesn't feel worth it.

TBH, paywalled content leads to a lot of people who haven't read it participating in shallow and contentious conversations based around clickbaity titles. I say keep the rule of no twitter.

I think this might be interesting:

• permit separate, low-traffic, highly rate-limited, auth-only servers. They would be strictly rate-limited and only accept connections from whitelisted partner servers, because they only handle auth.
• any partner server can authenticate a user and handle content for the server/auth-server pair, but only does so under certain conditions (determined by the partner - all the time, when ping api call > n seconds, or manually, for example)
• [email protected] can't log in, so the client tries the list of partnered servers. user succeeds at lemmy.partner.net.
• [email protected]@partner.net says.. '..something' and all other servers accept it as being from [email protected]
• lemmy.world recovers,, and claims all of the @[email protected] posts. Partners then forget the extra stuff they've been hosting.

It didn't work.

They should just rename the service to "Appliance Systems Service", so the acronym makes sense.

Hey there!

From the home screen, at the top shpuld be '[email protected].'. You can also select '[email protected]'. That will show you a feed from everyone FMHY is federated with.

If two inatances you like block each other, you can get accounts on both. The entries have a 'via fmhy..' Or 'via sh.itjust.works' for whatever instances you have listed in your configuration. Long-press on instance name in configuration to delete it if you don't want it. I deleted lemmy.world, because I can just see lemmy.world stuff in 'all' via fmhy.

Technically, it's not federation, it's confederation, but we have some bad history with that word.

Replaceable batteries, and a software toggle:

• Prioritize Battery Health
• Prioritize Short-Term Capacity

It's been a little annoying. Anyways, thanks for thinking of FMHY.

Likewise.

Proper instruction.

True. I was kinda wondering if they could just have limits. Like, take the top 3% of reddit posts for a given sub in a particular 24h period, and also could stay at or below a max of 20% of the postings on the lemmy forum.

Is liftoff homegrown?

Nsfw?

This is bullshit.

A lot of those issues of 'multiple primaries' can be resolved with intelligent data types and actions. That is, if we have a notion of how the data is organized, a lot of decisions can be made a priori. Ones that can't can be read-only during a split.

Comment groups are mergeable sets. Any unique comment is a valid comment.

For any individual comment, any tombstone causes a comment to be unseeable (and ideally be deleted). Any edits are latest-wins.

A lot can be sorted out that way - enough to be usable. Some databases even support that on a db level.

Meh. Most of the top comments are pretty reasonable.

Space Station 14.

This is a remake of SS13, and it's an open-source labor of love. Sessions are ~45 minutes to 1½ hours. Complexity is daunting, but just don't go in expecting to be useful - expect to be a passenger, drink beers, and possibly get killed or rescued, maybe have some RP or semi-RP chats.

But you'll learn, and slowly, how things work. Maybe you can be an engineer intern and fail horribly while everyone depends on you. Maybe you can be in security and get killed. ..and maybe, just maybe, someday you'll win, and know you helped to make that happen.

It's still a self-replicating thought. ..although the meaning has gotten broader in some areas, narrower in others, and much shallower overall.
