The turtle is very skittish and hides in his cave. The funny thing is he comes out and let’s the pleco clean his shell, they are buddies and I feel bad splitting up, but the pleco has sized out of this tank. He can fully turn around and everything, but it’s on my list in the new year.
The pleco needs a new home very soon :( the tank actually has a turtle as the main event!
She actually, her name is Mittens! She is almost 2
Counterpoint. This line of thinking is what got me living under an ACTUAL fascist regime right now. People did purity testing with Harris on whatever issue, pick your poison (Gaza, police accountability, etc) and it moved the needle. How much will never be known, but a chunk of people spent so much time listening to talking heads and streamers that they decided to not vote for her. And now we have Trump, destabilizing the world, letting a guy with brain worms decide everyone’s health. Harris would have been the best option by far even if she was not perfect, but fixing good was always a better option than rejecting not-perfect. If framework goes away, good luck getting another right-to-repair first org to build hardware. There has never been a better time to make the point “stop purity testing things, acknowledge when things are the better option, and work to make them even better.” All this “us vs. them” and using language that paints anything as black or white moves the needle on people passively reading comments, and does actual harm. Living in a world without a grey area does actual harm.
Purity testing everything you use means you have to get off Lemmy, if you look at the statements from some of the core devs. It is no way to live and is pretty much incompatible with being on the internet. Framework is clearly doing more good than harm, and while no company is perfect or immune from critique, feedback from customers does more than knee-jerk comments from people with no stakes.
Wonderful, set precedent that the 2nd amendment is totally subject to the whim of the president. Then let’s flip all of government in 2028 and work on fixing this gun problem once and for all.
I really dislike this headline. A vulnerability was found, responsibly disclosed, and the vendor was responsive and is planning/pushing a fix. The headline drowns a successful mitigation in flowery language of controversy. The article also shows how this can happen on other vendor devices, but the headline here looks like just Framework messed up, when they’re the only vulnerable vendor with a fix in the pipeline (based on the info in the article). I really hate headline-bait journalism.
This is hopefully going to be great, preventing the NIMBY’s from stopping higher-density housing focused near public transit. I am in a Sacramento suburb and there’s huge empty lots right near the bus lines near the freeway; if those can become high-density housing for people that can have less reliance on cars, it’d be huge for this area. Even a small % nudge would be beneficial.
We have one here with a separate prep area that we have a relationship with the manager and staff, and it has been SOOOO good, and we shout their praises everywhere we can. Its great to see some places actually seek training on how to avoid pitfalls, and the places that distinguish between gluten free and celiac safe
I have an 11 year old with celiac and relying on user report resources like “Find Me Gluten Free” means we essentially only eat at 3 places; I consider this akin to ADA requirements.
Yea, if people get too annoyed seeing the same story in 4 communities, I think eventually they consolidate down to one, and the fracturing reduces engagement across ALL the communities; a couple become ghost towns, etc. It’s a different sense of engagement to see 4 threads with 2-4 comments instead of seeing 1 with 20.
I think Lemmy needs a better way to federate communities, so if you sub to say a “Star Trek” community on 3 instances, you don’t get the same post 3 times, but instead it’s somehow linked and content federates; this would be at the community and not instance level, so there’s more community self-governance, and communities can migrate instances without so much intervention from instance admins. I think that will really help growth and decentralization.
This video is extremely relevant and points to reasons his is impossible, and the Italian government being currently run by an actual Nazis bodes poorly to any megaproject https://youtu.be/ei-bG4XfB4s
This has been the most wonderful summer ever. I’m an atheist but I wish the right wing cultists could draw correlation to which parts of the country are being climate favored by their diety and consider their policies as cause.
My son has celiac and Royal Caribbean specifically accommodates him super well. We did a Mediterranean cruise, visited 4 countries, didn’t have to constantly search for gluten free food in languages we didn’t know, and didn’t have to repack out stuff every other day.
You get to visit multiple countries without unpacking and repacking your room and organizing transportation.
Ok, understood. So if you’re not online, you pretty much lose messages, or are they cached and the next time the sender is online you get them?
My use case is a kid using a minecraft server and wants to talk to his friends, and we’re using mumble now, but they want “discord” and they want things like plugins that allow mgmt from the discord channels, which I would be willing to try to develop, but the model pretty much requires a server to be online.
In general, I’m trying to make a small internet for my kids and their friends to have “normal” internet experiences without being on the wider internet. No youtube, but pinchflat -> jellyfin. No discord, but mumble. No google drive, but nextcloud.
I have been exploring self-hosted Discord alternatives and had been looking at Rocket Chat, so I am wondering what is the pitch for this versus something like that? I am very early in my exploration, of course.
The implication here is that somehow that’s a problem with lemmy and lemmy.world…but I bet he also had an amazon account and no one is blaming them.
Mittens certainly thinks her name is “Pss pss pss”
