A problem many have realized is that there are many /tech, /gaming etc. communities in different instances/servers. There is already https://fediverse.observer/ , so I think it wouldn't be too hard to make a service that periodically roams the fediverse, checks for example the last 100,000 submissions of each (or top 100 active...
Personally I believe that it'll make people associate the Fediverse with Threads, which is not a good thing. Edit: It'll replace their definition of the Fediverse, with Threads, and people may widely forget about Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin etc.
I could really use some great video game soundtrack recommendations. Bonus points for a YouTube link. Double bonus points if the game is at least 15 years old 🙂
Most static cracks are fine. Cracks that are moving, changing, etc are dynamic and should be inspected by a professional.
I have an ADU that has a huge crack in the slab foundation. But it’s probably been there for 10+ years. I’ll need to spend $20k to dig it out and fix it, or I can simply mostly ignore it.
Its acquirer (Bending Spoons) has taken over operations. They’ve also hiked subscriptions prices and told customers they intend to use new revenues to pay for new features. How they intend to do that without any staff is something I would like to know about....
1969 F250. Rebuilt 390fe with upgraded cam, intake manifold, edlebrock 750, then replaced the fuel tank and upgraded to EFI. Rebuilt trans., new radiator. Plan to move the floor shift back to the column and add a/c. Also have some headers to put in and hope to be able to add the 2nd gas tank. Plan to make it my hauler.
1961 Lincoln continental sedan. Rebuilt 430 MEL and trans. New interior. Lowered. Upgraded to EFI. Plan to upgrade the starter, raise it back to stock ride height, and redo vacuum and electrical. Also needs new front windows and a thumping stereo system.
2008 bmw k1200r. Just needs fluids and a battery and a trailer to get it down the 3 mile dirt/gravel road to some tarmac.
I’m just curious what you folks think. The whole idea of the Fediverse seems to go against everything Meta has stops for with their existing platforms (Facebook and Instagram)....
The are using the a/p code because why not? Also because it’s been around a while and that might be useful when competitors start suing.
Threads instantly will become the de facto fediverse client. If they federate for even a month, and then defed, nearly everyone from any other instance will want to move to threads to maintain that access.
Courts can have closed source code audited. It’s literally done in a locked room on a device that doesn’t have the ability to export, and people that enter the room are monitored.

Hot water was running out very quickly. I tested voltages, upper element looked good, on the lower the small protective plastic cover over the wires shocked me. I cut the breaker and found this loose wire. And obviously all this rust/mineral build up. If I were to fix I’d try to replace the element but I’m afraid that I...
I fucked up the threads on the brake caliper bracket, tried repairing it but didn’t go well. Need another one but it doesn’t even have an OEM number and I would need to get the whole set which is ridiculous. What should I do?...
Yeah that’s part of the complete assembly. Part 9/17 it looks like.
You’re going to be calling junk yards for a while. Since that car has a big following another option is to float by some of the communities and ask if anyone has a few parts cars laying around.

Do you think Meta's Threads app will be beneficial or detrimental to the Fediverse?
Personally I believe that it'll make people associate the Fediverse with Threads, which is not a good thing. Edit: It'll replace their definition of the Fediverse, with Threads, and people may widely forget about Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin etc.
kbin should correct its "+18" label to be "18+"
The first few times I saw "+18", I didn't even know what it meant because it was backwards and the threads weren't particularly NSFW.
