There was no need to look for her affiliation after reading this reaction. Extremely professional and totally level headed, maybe she felt just like in a sitcom where they turn to the camera and say stuff like this before the laugh track comes.
One of the better features of e bikes is that you won't get into sweating or exhaustion as easy as with a regular bike. This means you can just cover yourself in some plastic poncho to stay dry while riding without getting damp inside from sweating.
Had a similar "no second without lightning flash" weather here like 2 weeks ago, best when you only see the flash I guess... Best wishes in that regard!
This is so pathetic to look at, tons of accounts piling more upvotes on each other than a regular day at lemmy in total and constantly congratulating each other on their oh so based opinions. Bloody clown show, totally organic and not astroturfed at all.
Just a bit funny it looks exactly the same on each social media they pop out all of a sudden. "I am advocating for clean nuclear energy since school, derp"
Must be absolutely thrilling to explore and investigate it. I can absolutely understand the Archeologist entering in the 70's getting his mind blown by a few meters, now there is the whole thing to explore... really cool!
Has this ever happened to you? There’s a fly in the house, buzzing around you, so you go to the cabinet to get the swatter. But as soon as you start wielding it, the little bastard disappears. You set it down, and now he’s back, taunting you....
To me it seems absolutely like it, yes. For whatever reason, Flies are sophisticated nuisance animals, they got all the perks to be effective in that endeavour. If you signal them it's their life or death, it's even more interesting, prime directive is to dance on your nose by then.
Fortunately, they got a few "bugs in their code" which makes them a bit more controllable, I know of a few very interesting ones:
Fear of moving fabric:
Be it a sock or a T-Shirt, once it starts to whirl through the air somewhere near them, they panic. Try and compare, take a solid object (even a fly swatter) or your hand and just whoosh it close by. Often they are back within the blink of an eye, even more annoying now. Try the same with something out of fabric, they will keep 10 times the distance afterwards.
Possible explanation: Their fly brain interpretes it similar to bird wings, a threat even they take serious.
Sleep mode in dim light:
While flies seek out a place to sleep in the light of a single tea candle, you can still see them. Incredibly useful to get rid of flies in small spaces like a caravan or a tent. Possible explanation: They just lack vision, so their only option is to chill at the closest surface.
Fear of crawling into openings:
If a fly wakes you up way before your time, build a little cave in front of your face (Think of the entrance to an Igloo). They won't crawl in for the life of them.
Possible explanation: The ones crawling into the mouth of something often didn't live to pass on their genes.
Water bottle reflection:
How to: Fill a clear bottle with water, close the lid and put it up where they have to see it. I have to admit, I long thought of this as being silly and esoteric Mumbo Jumbo, yet after several attempts at it when Flies became unbearably annoying outside, there are clear differences in their behaviour once you put these up. They will still annoy you from angles where they have no line of view to the bottle, so prepare to set up a few.
Possible explanation: Reflections messing with their vision, esoteric Mumbo Jumbo.
I'd be happy to read some more if you came across something that messes with them, I hate to simply kill or poison them (Don't want fly innards in my living space or poison my surroundings) but to be annoying in revenge is fair game, especially when you get rid of them that way. Btw: how do the salt gun folks deal with the salt being literally everywhere after a shooting spree?
I think once you are on the surface, your chances rapidly grow, even when its cold water with a lot of current. You still only have to manage to get 20-30m to the side out of the strongest current. The way to the surface in time to not suffocate might be the problem, especially out of a wildly tumbling car that smashes against rocks and stuff in the riverbed while being hurled on by a powerful current.
And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility....
It's been great 4 days here on fediverse for me. But I started to notice that there is barely any content in form of videos or gifs. Every content is just static in form is images or text. This is what I am really missing here compared to reddit. Is there any particular reason behind it?
I think one of the core strenghts of reddit was that you could configure and adapt it so much, two users could basically have completely different experiences while being on the same page. While I don't search for another imgur/tiktok -however you want to call it-, I know how it would have been just a few clicks and maybe settings away on reddit.
I hope federation will allow for a similar individual experience over time. Certainly it shouldn't be the one dominant thing but there will be instances needed that approach the more visual form to allow for that freedom of choice.
The content hosted on Youtube cannot be 100% hosted legally. It is impossible to believe that you can find a full album of Pink Floyd hosted on Youtube and that's a legal thing....
Adding to this, Youtube rarely hands out high quality versions for recordings - so the low fi version on youtube is more like a demo. If you have expensive equipment, you will want to pay for a high quality version if you like the tune.
As the title says, lemm.ee is defederating instances that are allowing thousands of spam bots to be created on them. Will we be taking similar action? What is the game plan here?

I've just read up on that experiment on Wikipedia and the conclusion you present seems to be shortcoming to tell nicely. Reassuring to me was that the two groups occasionally ganged up on the experimenters, being aware they're being manipulated. Thanks for mentioning this, yet for me it seems to be way more to it than '2 groups will fight inevitably '
