New image in my head for armchair quarterback.

Serious Queensryche vibes

Unfortunately for Floridians there are definitely open pit mines in Fla.

Very true! The whole domain squatting thing is pretty bizarre to me.

The .org seems to require a log in. I wonder what entity has these domains. I imagine the folks working to manifest the fediverse don’t have the capacity to buy up all the possible domains.

Haha this is the first thing I thought of. I didn’t know what kind of bird she was tho. FilmCow is great.

I never realized that was a kbin only thing. I just assumed my instance/mbin blocked that feature.

The MSPB dismissals got me since the MAGA folks seem so obsessed with anything that they deem to be not based on merit. Obviously they lie, and this is great evidence of that.

Mull is supposedly no longer being developed.

When I first got involved in this, I had a kbin and a lemmy account. I ended up focusing on the kbin, but it was useful to have the lemmy to see how things moderated. Kbin is dead now, but I still will occasionally use the lemmy to see how things look. I find it valuable. As an mbin person now, I think I should have some other instances in the mix as well. It’s a federation, and for me, I would like things to be appropriate for all of us. It’s kind of fun! Even if I am not a big user of other instances/federations?

Totally misunderstood the headline until I read the article. I work for the federal government, and most folks in my small town have the attitude that “they aren’t coming after jobs here, just people in DC or higher levels.” It is incredibly hard to change these perceptions, even when things DO affect folks at the local level. People can make excuses for almost anything 😑

In theory it could reduce the budget

It really is a dog and pony show. It looks good to certain people, but it doesn’t pencil out, especially long term as you mention.

Are there alternatives to Nine? I’ve used that for several years for my personal email because of exchange, but it has had issues the last couple of years. Not open source as far as I know.

The last few paragraphs describe exactly why the Democratic party is in shambles. Essentially, they just expect people to keep coming back. Kamala Harris had that saying she said about we’re not going back, and the Democratic party shouldn’t. Not that she is with the future, tho. Move ON! Get with the program.

I am in no position to say what Merz will be for Germany, but talk of teamwork amongst Europe is good.

I really appreciate your and @[email protected] replies. I live in an area where multiple time zones are part of life, but didn’t see how this could actually be beneficial. I’ve had to do some funky stuff to know what time it is, but like you say, I wouldn’t need to do that with this. Thanks for helping me see the importance of this!

I struggle to see a reason for this, even with the example provided in the article. I think it would be annoying for folks who live at the edge of two zones, but I also think it will continue to be a setting that could be cycled.

Wow that actually seems really good.

What is the shelf life for these?

Ya, I am not necessarily interested in the photos themselves, but would like to not be tagged.
