If someone really wants to use the contribution of the expelled maintainers they can just make their own fork. Part of the Free in FOSS is the freedom to associate or not associate with contributors.

After Apollo went down, made me realize how much unnecessary screen time I was wasting my life on. The smaller size and scope of the fediverse is probably better for my mental health than Twitter/Reddit were

I don’t use Reddit whatsoever. Being away from that site for 18 months has really shown how low quality the content there is. I know longer have any desire to ever interact with that site if I can help it, even if the fediverse is missing some of the active niche communities on reddit

!parenting@lemmy.world is pretty active. Doesn’t get a huge amount of discussion threads but when someone starts one they always have plenty of responses.

If you want, I can DM you. But I think the Lemmy.world defederated list is a fairly good starting point and then just block overly political subs if you get tired of seeing it.

The important thing about the fediverse is that you can federate with Lemmy but use an alternative platform. If you don’t like the devs of Lemmy there is mbin and piefed

Reddit has its own “left-lite” communities (called left lite because they definitely aren’t as far left as grad or ml) that are very popular and hit the front page constantly. The difference is that Lemmy leftists are intolerant of liberals (and vice-versa). Hopefully a bit better balance is struck here but I’ve been able to curate my feed to make liberal-leftist conflict less visible.

A lot of networks were designed with ipv4 and NAT in mind. There really isn’t a cost benefit to migrate all your DHCP scopes, VLANs, Subnets, and firewall rules to IPv6 and then also migrate 1000’s of endpoints to it.

Much cheaper to just disable ipv6 entirely on the internal network (to prevent attacks using a rogue dhcpv6 server etc) and only use ipv6 on your WAN connections if you have to use it.

Try obtaining a Time Machine so that you can experience the menu from when it was good.

The Grilled Stuft Burrito, Grilled Stuft Nacho, the volcano burrito and lava sauce, the 1/2 lb cheesy potato burrito, the enchirito, the loaded grillers, the double layer taco, the chilito.

So many good menu items lost to time

Well said, while I think there a probably caveats (that I don’t have the energy to debate since I mostly agree with you anyway) to each of your solutions, it’s definitely a good starting place to address the underlying issues with the housing market for single family homes

Giving first time home buyer’s assistance just juices demand which would just lead to further increased housing prices.

The supply side is what needs to be addressed, that’s a lot harder though as builders would prefer to build luxury housing as opposed to starter homes.

Buy a gun and then go to the police

The Pi4 USB controller and network adapter share bandwidth. Do you have any devices on the USB port that could be causing collisions? I really can’t think of anything in that kind of scenario that would cause that sort of issue unless somehow you were using USB for video out…

Lemmy.world nor any other instance on the fedi can remove content on another instance without the consent of federation, even then those actions can be undone by the site admin.

.world defederating from you doesn’t mean censorship. People disagreeing with your opinion and opting not to see it is not censorship.

When we were young and first married, my wife and I decided to try a church that we had saw online. The website and name made it seem like it would be alright and more modern thinking. We were wrong.

We pull up and the church building is a double wide trailer, a congregation of about 30 people. The preacher appears to be in his 70s.

He sees that he has guests and singles us out and puts us on the spot to introduce ourselves to whole congregation. He never refers to my wife by her name instead just calling her “Wife”. He prays for us multiple times during the service and bring us up during the sermon. (Still just referring to us as TORFdot0 and wife)

Speaking of the sermon, he begins the sermon talking about the gay democrat agenda and how the gays are ruining God’s institution of marriage and how it will soon be illegal to be married to a woman. This gets an audible sigh from the ladies in the front row.

He also preached to cherish our Bible before the black socialist devil in the white house takes them from us.

He compared the Bible to an old hound dog and started barking for going on two minutes. It’s like a dog because it warns us of things to come.

After what seems like an eternity of a sermon, he invites the kids up to the alter for some “Hallelujah” Candy (it’s the Sunday before Halloween). One child takes a second handful of candy and the elderly pastor chastises him and then bends him over his knee and starts spanking him in front of the congregation.

Needless to say we did not give that church a second visit.

He’s a master at making children click his videos

I tried it over a decade ago, the 3rd party app on windows phone I was using was pulled and so I had no desire to use it once I was on iOS and android a few years later.

Never really saw the appeal of “stories” feels like attention seeking to me. Sending shitpost photos that you don’t care to keep to friends makes a little more sense but still not my bag

I’ve used android at various times. Most recently around 3 years ago. I probably won’t switch back unless there is some really compelling hardware I just can’t resist.

Some reasons I prefer iPhone is that iMessage was just a better experience for messaging than SMS and the fragmented support that RCS had back when I was an android user.

iOS is also consistent experience across devices rather than having a different flavor with different launchers and bloat per manufacturer. Android is nice in that you can extend your experience by sideloading apps but eventually the more you add, the more chances you have of them randomly crashing and detracting from the experience

Finally I am locked in to the hardware ecosystem, android/Google do have their own alternatives to this but they aren’t as nice as apple’s. AirPods just work. AppleTV doesn’t have ads unlike google tv. Your iCloud files, photos, messages etc. just sync to your Mac without thinking.

If I did get a new android device I’d probably be a pixel but I just don’t trust google. And I don’t trust them to support a device or service and keep it out of the killedbygoogle graveyard

The hype was for its star studded cast. The movie itself was also a chuckle but was really obvious for its critique and satire.

The Barbie movie isn’t attacking men, it just lampoons society using the Barbies and Kens as silly caricatures.

Maybe it has a slight vapid girl power message but the real message is “hey remember this Barbie doll? Give us money”
