Mods made a poll to ask whether to extend the blackout or re-open. After accusations of brigading, mods created a second, more secure poll. The option to extend the blackout wins by a 18% margin. However, the top mod changes his mind, unilaterally decides that the sub should open, and threatens the rest of the mods with...
It would help alot If telecom/internet infrastructure was treated like our other infrastructure. Not to mention the literal billions of dollars in fraud that companies like Verizon and Comcast get away with. I still get mad when I think about how they were given massive sums of money to expand fiber optic infrastructure and gave themselves bonuses instead.
This is a good example, it's a hydrophone recording of a glass sphere imploding, the level of sound and echo should give you a good idea of the kind of forces we're dealing with:

This is new since yesterday, I don't know what's happening. My PC has been partially powering off suddenly and without warning.

If the memory is fine it would also be wise to check your hard drive, I had similar issues right before my old laptop drive failed. Also are you using an integrated graphics card or an external GPU? Some extra specs may be useful
As the fediverse continues to grow, let's reflect on some of the things that we disliked most about posting/lurking on reddit and what we can do differently now that we have a chance to build something new.
I've been playing guitar (and more recently bass) on and off for 15 years now. I've had a few combo amps and a Yamaha THR-X at some point as living room amps....
It depends what you're looking for as far as bells and whistles but if I were you I'd start scouring every pawn shop in a 10 mile radius of your house and see what you can find. Peavey solid state amps seem be indestructible but usually not many options. I had a lot of fun with my Line 6 Spider III back in the day, and the fender frontman series was also decent from my recollection
A Scanner Darkly is an incredibly moving and haunting novel to anyone who's ever struggled with drug addiction. For a nonfiction book probably "Kill Anything That Moves" which is about the horrifying and infuriatting reality of the U.S. war in Vietnam, and "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston

I did some cursory reading and read that too much sun can cause white/black spots, I keep it next to a south facing window but it's not getting completely baked out in my lawn or anything. Is this normal/fixable?
Thanks for the advice, my place is air conditioned but it's an old house so I'll have to keep a closer eye on humidity as well. If I had to do surgery would that entail just chopping off the entire section or just removing the blackened parts?

Yeah it does not portend well for the future, especially combined with the current explosion of low quality, profit driven content. I fear if left unchecked we could approach some kind of Kessler Syndrome-style scenario where desire for rapid growth and profit will poison the well in the long term. "Garbage in, garbage out"
At first everything about this was infuriating but now I want to see the entire C-suite of Meta and Twitter face off in gladiatorial combat, and we can stream it all on twitch and bet on who will live

Frankly I think we need more people before we can start getting concerned about things like that. If we're trying to make the Fediverse a viable alternative it has to be appealing and easy enough to use that people want to use it. If we don't get that right this whole thing is doomed from the start
