I use IMGBB, been using it for my Friendica as it gives convenient cut and paste BB Code which Friendica can parse. I did test Kbin and found it parses the HTML code they offer... Or at least did when I was testing, let's see, does this work?

Bugger, it worked back when I tested it a couple months ago, that's going to impact whether I stay with Kbin or go with Lemmy. Maybe just a normal image link will work?

Taur10,

I quite like Friendica for the purpose, venera.social I believe is one of the founding instances.

The Pentagon plans to shake up DC’s National Guard, criticized for its response to protests, Jan. 6 (apnews.com)

The Pentagon is developing plans to restructure the National Guard in Washington, D.C., in a move to address problems highlighted by the chaotic response to the Jan. 6 riot and safety breaches during the 2020 protests over the murder of George Floyd, The Associated Press has learned.

Taur10,

DC is a bit of an oddity, it's not a state, so there's no governor to deploy the guard, plus much of their governance has to be approved by Congress, this is part of the reason that there's a push for DC statehood, residents are getting tired of this mess.

How did Futurama have so many celebrity guest appearances?

I’ve been going back and watching earlier seasons, which - I thought - had a smaller budget and less recognition. But after taking a closer look at the credits I realized there’s a lot of celebrity heads that are voiced by the actual celebrities. The star trek episode actually had the full original cast - and those weren’t...

Taur10,

Celebrities don't always cost much, you have to remember that those high rates they get paid are optional, there's a base pay for actors, and they can take that rather than their typical high pay if'n they want. Throw in that in a lot of ways voice acting is easier (no costumes, make up, no standing around for a scene to be set up, etc), and it's effectively a quick and easy buck for actors.

Taur10,

The UX, the other is...

...inline images, assuming that still works. I store my images on IMGBB which gives copy and paste code for the images, and this works here but not on Lemmy.

Mastercard Move at Cannabis Shops Intensifies Call for US Decriminalization (www.commondreams.org)

Mastercard’s recent decision to prohibit the use of its debit cards at cannabis dispensaries highlights the challenges facing the legal marijuana industry. While the SAFE Banking Act would protect banks that work with cannabis businesses, it would not address the underlying issue of marijuana’s federal illegality which was...

Taur10,

This is also why Tumblr maintains it's ban on porn, Visa and Mastercard exclusively process their own cards, and wield that as a weapon against what they don't like.

Taur10,

I've tried it a couple times, it's neat, lots of features, but that makes it a bit confusing. I've also had trouble finding a stable English speaking general purpose server that's reliable, all the one's I used were down more than they were up. You might want to look at Calkey or whatever they're calling it now, that's an active fork.

    Removable batteries are generally only found in bicycles, some scooters (this is a new thing) and occasionally autocycles.
    As to the main problem, charging at home might not be necessary. I live in the US, and we have a Nissan Leaf that my husband uses to get to work, a 7 mile or so drive each way. With a range of around 200 miles, he only has to charge once a week at most, and until we got the charger installed here, he simply used a public charger or parked by the shop at work and plugged it in there.

    Hi. Is it possible to embed a few pictures in a thread? Currently I can only post a picture as a cover and links that allow to open pictures in the thread.

    Taur10,

    @lusterko I've had luck with inline images using code from IMGBB where I store my pics:

    <a href="https://ibb.co/G5QH0N4"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/G5QH0N4/IMG-20221031-134657.jpg" alt="IMG-20221031-134657" border="0"></a>

    Though I will say going back, they seem to have broken, so we'll seen if'n this even works now.
    Code:

    ((Figured this belonged in here, not sure why this place isn't showing up as an option for new posts))

    My Kbin rambling thoughts...

    Ok, thought it was time to post this.

    I've been running a testing group over at fedia.io so I could see if'n Kbin was for me, and I'm really happy, definitely prefer it over Lemmy.

    Inline images work fine, I host images on IMGBB, and they give you cut and paste code for images, all I had to do was switch to HTML instead of BBCode, and Bob's your uncle, unlike Lemmy and it's markup language where I'd have to code in the images m'self.
    Not sure how well it works with Mastodon, I did test follow one of my Mastodons, but considering how often Fedia throws up 500 errors, along with the fact that there doesn't seem to be a way to view only subscribed microblogs, I've been unable to test this
    Links parse and thumbnail fine, no work on my part.

    So, why does this matter? Well, right now I have my own Mastodon instance, and it looks like Kbin will make a very good replacement for that, from the memes and short content that I post to my personal account to the link sharing on Taurnation which can now become a community, this will definitely be a better fit. It might also replace my Friendica, as long content like this works fine too. Just have to wait for iKnox to start offering Kbin, I've already volunteered to be a guinea pig.

    So, what would make it perfect?
    An RSS reader, Friendica has this, and I find it great to be able to subscribe to news and comics just like following anyone else on the Fediverse.
    A post queue system, good for flood control, easier to use than scheduling posts.
    Tag memory, right now it's not remembering tags I've used from one post to the next

    A few features I need for this to be the perfect replacement for everything I'm doing.

    Not Sure if Cis Man or Demiboy. Looking for Suggestions

    23 year old AMAB. All my life, I’ve considered myself cisgender, but recently, I’ve begun questioning that. I’ll sometimes see posts like “if a potion/pill/button existed that could turn you into the opposite sex, would you use it?” and think to myself “Yeah, I’d be down to at least try that.” I know that...

    Taur10,

    This sounds familiar, I'm kinda the same way, I describe m'self as male as I happen to be that way, but if'n it changed tomorrow? Sure, why not, in fact several of my online characters are intersex, specifically the ones that I would be most happy becoming.
    Yep, the ones that feel most right are a little from column A and a little from column B.
    When it comes to sexuality, I've given up trying to figure that out, and simply refer to m'self as queer, since I think that and my gender are a bit mercurial, so an umbrella term that basically means not 'normal'/traditional/standard seems best.

    Best I could say is do what makes you happy, and be patient, it's a journey, sometimes one without an end, sometimes with, so just explore and enjoy.

    Taur10, to fedia

    What happens if'n I follow a non-Kbin/non-Lemmy account, like a Mastodon? Where do I see content from that, will it show up as a thread? Or a magazine? Or...?

    Taur10,

    @floppy Thanks, couldn't find any documentation on that

    Taur10,

    I use a Schlage model that I'm pretty happy with that is as far as I know compatible with Google Assistant, though I like it because it doesn't require a system like that.
