I’m not a fan of this remastered Gex.

Memes with a history lesson - this is a format I’d like to see take hold.

I wonder how many of of the memes here would benefit from having a lay person explanation, or if that would just be like the frog dissection quip.

Gonna have to disagree here. Messy beds are healthier because they get to air and so cool down and dry out. This is good because bacteria, fungi and dust mites like it warm and damp, and they can cause illness, asthma and allergies.

Mandates?

It’s quite funny when it happens that the table makes the best possible hand. Everyone still in shows what cards they were bluffing with and splits the pot.

I’ve had it where I was winning until the final card caused one of these split pots; I’d been betting strong and was hoping no-one would notice that the table held the nuts (they did).

I hadn’t noticed. Why has it gone, do you know?

I hope @MaximeRF find the time/motivation to fix it. I just was reminded it’d gone when I went to use the boost volume feature.

I hope ad-blocking isn’t the blocker, because uBlock Origin handles that (although I suppose uBO doesn’t cover things like channel whitelisting).

Deebster, 5 months ago

I thought you were talking about the volume boost thing at first and was really surprised.

Yeah, this is a good topic. I can add a few:

Short term, pets in houses, farm animals, etc will need to escape and start fending for themselves otherwise they’ll starve (or dehydrate).. Oops, I’d somehow missed an entire paragraph of your post 🤦‍♂️ Sheep need us to trim their wool, because we’ve bred them up grow fair more than they need. They’ll get too hot if they don’t have problems with defecation first (an actual thing farmers have to worry about).

Medium to long term, when dams and dikes aren’t maintained they’ll eventually fail, flooding vast areas including the Netherlands.

I guess that the world will continue heating for a bit even once we’re gone, so we wouldn’t be around to theoretically use our tech to help. Obviously, we’re the reason it’s happening in the first place, but nature’s not equipped to deal with change that’s this rapid.

Ah, you mean a ninja edit. Yes, this should be allowed.

I just tested and it definitely isn’t.

Yeah, that got old very quickly, although things like the old Reddit switcharoo* always got an upvote, but the original comment needed creativity and the stock reply needed to link the the previous example. It was cool that it was a different experience each time and that the network grew, occasionally branching, and had maintainers that made sure you could follow without hitting a deleted part dead end.

If I told I stranger the stuff I should tell a therapist, I’d never want to see them again and I’d never want my friends and family to meet them.

I’d seen it in my Firefox/Win10 + uBlockO setup. I just used yt-dlp and then a uBlock “quick fixes” update sorted it.

I love that this is both amusing and completely factual.

I’m a Brit so it’s not something I can use without sounding odd, but y’all’s my favourite thing to come out of American English since ok.

All the ones I actually want on my phone worked already, but this is still good news.

I’d seen someone calling all us Kagi fans shills which I thought was stupid at the time, but now I’m starting to see why they might think that.

Deebster, 6 months ago

I used to see them in the UK. Perhaps they’re making the boxes stronger to save needing the plastic, or maybe it’s just smaller pizzas/boxes don’t need them.

You don’t need another step when you start in your ultimate form 🦀

This isn’t a Fediverse-specific topic, that I can see. This is something that’s fairly trivial to do - there’s already services that will post to multiple channels (“social media management tools” seems to be best search term). In these ten months you could have written one yourself!

Also, the main point of POSSE seems to be that you control your own domain and space online, and everything else points back to that. That assumes that your main way of communicating is via publishing chunks of content, of course, which is patently not true. It also assumes that everyone’s way more technical than they are - plenty of people call their browser “the internet” and would glaze over the second you started talking about domain names, etc.

Deebster, 6 months ago

My point is that social media management tools already exist, so why do you think the Fediverse needs to “consider it”? I don’t understand what you’re expecting.

Deebster, 6 months ago

Ah, they’d changed it? That explains my confusion - I already had a Mastodon account so I was familiar with the boost concept, apart from how it worked in a threaded setup.

Anyway, yeah - confusing!

I do like my post apocalyptic stuff, but I don’t feel it’s very halloweeny. I did enjoy The Road when I read it five years ago.

Or slurry if there’s lots of gravel in it?
