Very vaguely related, I had a somewhat-friend in college who told me about her, her twin, and her year younger sister would fight constantly all the time. Imagine 3 close aged kindergardeners just constantly at each other’s throats when you were really not ready. They were so fed up that they went into the kitchen placed the three of them in equal distances away from the center, and then gave them each a knife and said “Go! If you hate each other so much, kill each other!”

The all started sobbing and hugged each other, and got along a lot better after that.

That’s…def trauma territory, but, it’s an example that human instinct to divided resources (emotional attention from a parent is REQUIRED for children’s psyche) isn’t darwinian. America specifically touts Survival of The Fittest as THE default human psyche and I find that it’s just not true.

I always like the soft clicks it made when communicating on the internet, after the screaming noise, when it settled down. Soft hum of the computer and little clicks as I read a forum post.

A reminder that there are many firefox forks that exist if base firefox is adding unwanted things or you might have different wants, but sites will still “see” firefox in terms of compatibility. I’m using Librewolf with some annoyances (it doesn’t let things fingerprint to the point that it can’t even get your current time), but overall I like it.

You can attach an audio file to a post on mastodon and it gets an embedded player. Just federate a compatible audio file?

They spoof numbers. It almost always is a number from my state or the area code, very rarely do I get calls from out of state and they are all already labeled “spam risk/telemarketer” when they come in.

Also thank you for writing this comment, I was going to say ios had no way to block unknown numbers, but I searched to double check myself and they finally do have that option! It may have been around for quite awhile, I hadn’t checked for a long while.

One of my favorite videos is this post https://youtube.com/watch?v=IFcyYnUHVBA

jokes aside, it’s just not a really attractive title.

I’ve played 48 hours in one of the games in there, Traveller’s Rest, about running a tavern. It has money, supply, employees, trends etc. But I’m not enjoying it because Yay Capitalism! It’s because when you’re running your own cute shop with virtual money it’s fun. I do like the genre, but being reminded of the systems that are causing a lot of real world shit is just a bad title.

But I guess “Business Sim Sale” wasn’t flashy enough.

I have no type of economics experience, but what if representatives of a demographic of people should be paid the median wage of those people, with high punishment for corruption and bribes?

If they would like to earn more, they should lift their states’s lowest wages. This goes down to all levels, a mayor of a city only earns the median wage of the city. It is a civil servant job after all, it shouldn’t be glamorous.

I wish! I was trying to login because the government emailed me to remind me and who my servicer is. So THEY know that it’s there somewhere. My service provider probably has the account but I guess lost the data, but they still have SSN + an account somewhere. Just kinda bullshit in general because they aren’t answering emails because of an influx of communication, so call center time with probably hours of wait.

This reminds me that my loan servicer sent me a reminder, to which I could not log on and they couldn’t recover my info through even SSN so I emailed them. I never got a response. Should…probably look into that.

This overall bullshit of doing opt-out fucking sucks. Opt-IN! Pissing off people and the. going “oh well there’s an opt-out” is so stupid. New experimental features that don’t directly benefit the user should be that they must have to opt-in manually. Off by default.

Similar, I’m assuming gmail is a no go? I feel like theoretically it should work but it’s not. However, this may be because I’m using elest.io -> docker, but something’s fucked up with my domain’s SSL and it’s signed by itself. It gives the browser a big huge 'ol unsecured warning, so I would assume that because that’s messed up it’s causing gmail to not accept it? I’ve opened a ticket with them, so eventually maybe I can figure out if that’s the case, I’ve never had a problem pointing namecheap domains to anything before.

It says this, but I assure you, the password is correct.

The settings

  # Email sending configuration. All options except login/password are mandatory
  email: {
    # Hostname and port of the smtp server
    smtp_server: "smtp.gmail.com:587"
    smtp_login: "crystals.rest.lm@gmail.com"
    smtp_password: "[the password]"
    # Address to send emails from, eg "noreply@your-instance.com"
    smtp_from_address: "crystals.rest.lm@gmail.com"
    # Whether or not smtp connections should use tls. Can be none, tls, or starttls
    tls_type: "tls"
  }

I also did start stattls and that didn’t work. Tried swapping ports around, nope.

edit: fixed the ssl issue with elest.io, they just had a configuration wrong, but tbf lemmy support was added literally yesterday

second edit: I just didn’t use gmail and instead made a zoho mail account that worked out after a lot of setting up

I’d rather there be a dedicated instance to archive subreddits rather than populate current communities with old stuff. Read only, if lemmy even works that way, but federated so people on lemmy can link to it and read in app easily. We shouldn’t let reddit hold the keys to useful historical information that has been gathered over the years, I feel it needs to be mirrored and hosted, but forging a new community culture I think is better than direct baggage from reddit.

I don’t know if the headings are what people actually said to him or not, but it’s very sad to see him beat up about just trusting what people who he’s had a fruitful 8 year relationship with say. The blame shouldn’t be on him for being positive about what to him, had been a perfectly acceptable long-standing business relationship. The fact that he can eat this cost and said he’ll be fine means that he wasn’t simply being blind to the realities of the world/

Same for me, about a decade ago this was already a thriving piracy area. My professors were about 80/20. It may be because it’s an art college, about 80% of the time they said a version or two behind would be fine, which a previous version loses all value when a new one comes out so you can get it cheap off amazon. 20% were hard asses that said you HAVE to have the newest version and you HAVE to get it before classes start and can’t compromise with them. I can’t imagine my rage if I would have had some of those new “pay $80 to access your math book & coursework that expires after the class” that were starting to happen.

I know you mean satiric as satire but I sort of read it as “sarcastic” which fits with your reply, lol. A weasel that is ineffective on the internet, because satire is dead.

One time for a moment, my post showed 68 upvotes, I refreshed, and back to 1. Just a glitch, but an odd one to grab a random number.

The section about discussing apollo’s efficiency was super great to display reddit’s attitude toward this. The analogy of using 3 miles on a car out of 861 miles available, and then to be chastised because someone else used 1 is insane. That and showing that they’ve had a relationship with these developers, helped and encouraged them, and suddenly after for some a decade, gives them 30 days to do the impossible.

oh!!! thank you, I see now. oh what an interesting interface, having full text lol. time to look around.
