She specifically asked if she could vote, they told her yes, then she still cast a provisional ballot just in case, then she was sent to prison for voting illegally.

I saw a free preview screening of Mission to Mars right before it came out. That horrible movie ended and the theater was dead silent, then someone yelled out, "I didn't have to pay to see that pile of crap". Everyone applauded.

The "my IDE didn't recognize the file type and opened it in here by default" editor.

I mean, you named your account "you are hurting the fediverse" to come and ask them to close registrations then you ignore their questions. Seems kinda rude to me.

So instead of tweeting something do they now "X it out"?

It would be neat if communities from different instances could federate with each other like the instances themselves do.

In my mind it would work like this:
If two communities have the same topic, and have compatible rules, then they could federate with each other. This would show the posts from both in a combined view in whichever instance you were logged in on.

For moderators there would be two types of posts.
Posts originating on their instance they would have full mod control over, and any actions taken on the posts would change the post for all other communities they are federated with.
Posts originating from federated communities I think mods should be able to hide in the local communities as well as a subset of other mod abilities, like sticky. However these would only affect the local copy, not the original or the other federated communities.

As far as I know neither Kbin nor Lemmy has anything like that, but I think it would be a great feature if either could make something like that work.

YSK: If you make popcorn in a pot on the stove, the oil to use is ghee.

Ghee, or Indian-style clarified butter, is butter that's been simmered and the milk solids (proteins and sugars) skimmed off. This leaves a clear yellow oil that doesn't smoke when it's heated and doesn't go rancid quickly, but has a distinct toasty butter flavor....

I tried ghee, it tasted awful. Butter flavored coconut oil is where it's at.

That one was so annoying because you had to be using the log server to have any issues. If your network was locked down, the log server was disabled, or if you happened to be using a version that was from before the log server was added, then there were no issues. But clients just heard "log4j" and thought it was unsafe.

Fucking Joe Rogen man. I keep trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. He seems like the sort of person who believes what the last person told him until someone tells him the opposite. But now it seems like he's becoming actually malicious.

Reddit Is Fun is one of the apps being killed off next week. Their subreddit was marking each post with which stage of grief it was. A lot of anger and Bargaining.

What do you call a med student that graduated with a C average?

We could also bring back the old Webring concept for discoverability. Might even be able to decentralize and federate that bit.

I honestly think something like that happened. It wouldn't even need to be all. Of just half left the other half wouldn't have the numbers to keep from being down voted out of the conversation.

elrac, to Minecraft

Hi, I'm Elrac. I play a lot of Minecraft, mostly modded at this point. Currently I'm playing the Vault Hunters mod pack. Also, I happened to create this magazine. I can see that a little over 200 people have subscribed to it, and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for what we should do to get this community going?

If I was Reddit I'd think that I wouldn't want to admit that a stupid policy change I made led to it crashing. I would try to find something else to blame it on.

Ernest did say that turning on the cloudflare bot check may break federation.

/kbin quick update

As you noticed, I had to temporarily enable DDoS protection. Someone is trying quite effectively to distract me from my activities ;p Unfortunately, this may cause some issues with the federation. I will try to cut off the traffic as soon as possible and return to normal operation. Thank you for all your support and patience! :)

Want to hear some irony? I'm here because I saw a thread on Reddit about that subreddit being banned.

Something I noticed is that, on mobile, the kbin logo in the upper left corner opens the menu next to it instead of going back to the main page. You have to hit the house icon in the menu. It isn't obvious that you are in a menu when that happens.

That's what I did...
No wait, I'm here now after 13 years on Reddit. My mistake.

I found out about kbin by seeing a comment on reddit about them banning r/kbinmigration.

MC Championship Pride 23 (mcchampionship.com)

MCC Pride 23 is today. Of you haven't seen an MCC before, it's 40 streamers in 10 teams of 2. They play mini games for points, and the top two teams play a game called Dodgebolt to determine the winner. Each player streams independently so watchers get a unique perspective on the tournament. This specific event is to celebrate...
