38 she/her or they/them or any pronoun. Cis woman… I think. I pretend to be an elf on the Internet. I’m mostly attracted to femininity.

I use tone indicators.

The price of food is ridiculous. £1.70 for a bag of smartprice sausages whose first ingredient is “water”? Absolute state of it.

What would be the problem if Threads federated with Lemmy&co in the future?

I’ve seen a lot of comments suggesting Threads should be pre-emptively defederated by Lemmy/kbin instances if it tries to join us. I’m a bit confused what the problem would be. When Meta does its usual corporate bullshit over at Threads, how would that hurt a user or community based on Lemmy.world? If anything, wouldn’t it...

There is a known strategy called EEE (Embrace, extend, and extinguish).

First, they embrace the open web. Millions of people who never would’ve joined the Fediverse (and, probably, don’t even know what the Fediverse is) flock to Threads and start to interact with us.

Then, they extend the open web, adding features to Threads that aren’t compatible with our servers. People on Threads don’t understand what’s wrong with our server (even though it’s Threads that’s the source of incompatibility).

Finally, they decide they’re “having trouble maintaining compatibility with third party servers” and start to break off from us, leaving us with no way to interact with our new friends. Unless, of course, we make a free Threads account…

Google Talk is perhaps the most relevant example of this. Here’s more details.

Nope, images don’t federate, just links to them :)

What’s uploaded: 1000 10MB pictures What’s federated: 1000 hyperlinks

How do I get back in to studying as an adult?

I wanted to major in physics when I went to college in 2013 (I’m 28 now), but had to drop out and have flushed out a lot of information. A lot of basic concepts are still there, but I’d need a lot of refreshers going back to like algebra lol. I’d love to get back in to studying in my free time, but I’ve completely...

Your local public library is a great resource for this, if you have one. Most public libraries host classes, and even those that don’t will know of community colleges that do. :)

It doesn’t look all that silent to me.

Is there a crypto tipping bot on Lemmy?

Back in the day, before r implemented rewards, people would just tip each other for useful/insightful/whatever comments in cryptos like Doge or Reddcoin, even BTC before it became too expensive to tip with. I know we can use Mastodon bots here, but I have no idea what’s available....

Please don’t make a new coin specifically for Lemmy. We’re doing just fine without one, thanks.

Sideways 0% discounts are very very infuriating, I agree!

On mobile, I use NewPipe X SponsorBlock which is a fork of NewPipe. Amongst other things, it lets you completely hide shorts. :)

NTA but unwise. As others have mentioned: they’ll look into who used those stolen miles and, assuming you gave them your real information, they’ll send the heavies stright to your door.

Are there really no stupid questions?

If we for instance take, as an example, someone thoroughly explaining something which is clear to 99,9999% of the earths adult population don’t you think the remaining .0001% could come up with some? I get that this community is a place to allow people to ask questions they can’t or won’t ask elsewhere but I certainly feel...

I have long believed that the only stupid question is the one that hasn’t been asked.

I feel it’s better to ask the question (and feel stupid for a few minutes) than to remain stupid for the rest of my life. :)

That’s not stupidity though, that’s malice, which is a whole different tub of bananas.

It was mid tier at best.

“Outside noise” in the Blahaj Zone meta community

This community is for discussions specific to the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance, but it seems like we get lots of comments from other instances who have no real stake in the matter. I imagine the vast majority are well-meaning people who just don’t really understand federation well yet and don’t understand they’re commenting...

@Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

People from other instances can and do use our communities and are affected by our admins’ decisions. So to say they have no real stake in the matter is not entirely accurate.

That said, there are certain decisions they have no stake in, for example the debate of whether we defederate with x, y, or z.

YSK: Keeping your accounts/online identity safe in the age of the fediverse/federated networks

As more people flock over to the fediverse from reddit, twitter and other centralised proprietary networks it is important that you keep your e-mail and other important accounts safe from hijacking attempts. Since anyone can simply spin up an instance and host users and communities it is important that you don’t divulge your...
