DM me if you can guess where I took this panorama.

Why is thepiratebay not in the megathread, despite being so much better?

Whenever thepiratebay goes down, it is a disaster for me to find anything online. The megathread is next to useless, taking me to all these crazy sites that don't have a torrent option. Instead, they have individual episode downloads of 600 episode TV series. And to access each individual episode, I have to click on a mirror...

Why not go private? alpharatio, mac-torrents, myanonamouse, PTP, BTN, RED, there are plenty of options.

Yeah I guess I'm old, I've been on those for 10+ years and didn't realise they don't allow new members. My bad (no irony, I am actually 42 years old).

Sorry I have no idea of what you're taking about. I'm old, I've been on private trackers for over a decade now and I haven't followed suit with other sources.

It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous!

Well, for one we have no coal, which Germany has a lot. Second we have hydro like you said, and hopefully this will help. No opinion on nuclear.

Does it make sense to have users-only and content-only instances?

I've been wondering about this for a couple of days. Having users-only instances could help with moderation and content visualization (think in beehaws.org pulling the plug on lemmy.world), while giving the freedom to different communities mods to treat their content as they want....

Huh, I guess? I didn't understand most of what you said. But whatever is good for decentralisation is good for everybody, I think.

They used to spin forever until I decided to hit the reload button. But yeah, it's getting much better now.

Oh no, you should never toss any flammable which makes fumes on a fire. Stick to slow burning liquids like Diesel or fire starter liquids. No gazoline or ethanol. Very dangerous.

I have size but don't know what to do with it, can confirm women don't like that.

Being able to easily replace the thing in the device that wears out fastest is a good thing.

Yeah, it's like buying a car without being able to change the tyres.

I wish I had enough money to travel to Denver and actually experience it.

Does anyone feel like the Internet is alive again?

Before I joined the Fediverse, it felt like the Internet was composed of only 4-5 social media sites and a bunch of corporate news articles, with only a couple of old remnant sites that looked out of place like a historic church in a business district. All of a sudden, though, it feels like people are creating lots of new sites....

Yep, I feel like I'm 20 again (born in 1980, been through BBS, dialup, ADSL, cable, altavista.com and many other things)

I've been on the Internet since I was 15 so in 1995. I was on ICQ, Usenet and other old technologies. Internet sure has changed a lot since. But I'm excited to be part of the fediverse, it is still in its infancy but I think it will become big. Hopefully not big enough to get riddled with adds or get bought by google or others.

eddit: for the old folks like me: geocities, hotmail and more "recently" digg

There is a link to buymeeacoffee.com on the About page at the bottom.

Spam and porn are flooding kbin already

There is a substantial amount of spam and NSFW posts on the All page coming through already. Most NSFW posts aren't being tagged as such and are coming right through. I am not sure how this can be weathered but we need something in place fairly soon, I feel like we are days away from rivers of bad stuff, especially via some of...

How do you do that as a normal user, I can't seem to see it my preferences.

olrik,

OK, I saw that, but most of the content of lemmynsfw is not tagged as NSFW. How do I block a complete instance?

edit: I just realised that I was answering to the same person who asked the exact same question, sorry. Still new to this

How do you know they came back? Do you see them agin in your profile? I used Power Delete Suite and except for 2 subreddits I can see no posts I made over the 14 last years in my profile? How do I make sure they have actually been deleted?

Sorry my comment got posted twice, it was not my intention, I think it's due to a bug.

/kbin contribution and information for instance owners

The search form has been fixed (if you were experiencing this issue). This time, the Docker recreate may take a bit longer. Moving forward, when making changes, I will create pull requests like everyone else and ask for your review. Sorry for the inconvenience. Soon, the first tagged release will also be available. It's time to...

Maybe you just said that by coincidence but I created a community for here: https://kbin.social/m/SouthPark

OK I must admit I'm very old in Internet time and I didn't get that they were not talking about a simple navigator on desktop. I do have a smart vaccum cleaner robot which is not a roomba, although I managed to connect it to my wifi and I can control it from an app on my smartphone. Just trying to keep up.

Looks very good and much more legible, thanks.
