I’m distracted how big that pile of wood is and how close it is to the rest of the forest.

It’s not like you have to upgrade your phone every year. People are on different upgrade cycles in which these devices will be a big upgrade.

People get pissed at airports because they’re on holiday mode with their mates, it’s part of the holiday to have some beers at the airport. It’s these kind of passengers that will be the issue, it’s nothing to do with the design of the airport.

That and Inbox were peak Google.

Our instance is federated with hexbear, lemmygrad etc. I want to be resonsible for what I see and block, I’m really not a fan of defederation unless it’s a last resort (i.e. CSAM or other illegal content).

I did end up blocking the lemmy.ml instance though, fuck that place. I haven’t even blocked hexbear or lemmygrad.

The problem is most likely people that are new to the fediverse/lemmy just not understanding it and choosing a “default”, popular instance. I was going to pick it as a safe option when I first came here but it was under load and wasn’t accepting new users, where I then had to find another instance and settled on feddit.uk.

It would be good if lemmy instances could have the option of “load balancing” new users, so if the current instance has way more active users than it’s federated wtih then it disables registration but recommends other, smaller instances to the user.

Don’t forget “it’s too complicated”

Funny how there was no rage when Lucy Letby was found guilty or that guy who very recently murdered the mother and daughters with a crossbow.

No that’s new to me too, based off me searching the word and seeing the Wiki article on the toy. I’d seen the word because of one of the instances (blahaj zone), but I literally never see the word outside of Lemmy.

TIL blahaj refers to a soft toy shark sold by IKEA.

I don’t know what the system is called but it’s been around on a lot of cars for a while now. Our car does it (2016 Nissan Qashqai) - the hazards came on automatically when I had to brake hard on the motorway, and everyone else’s hazards came on too - it was exactly the reason I knew how I knew I had to instantly brake hard due to all the cars ahead hazard lights coming on with the brake lights.

Most modern cars now put the hazards on automatically when the driver brakes hard.

That last statement is meaningless given the crazy levels of security they have on keeping people in. If they took away all the restrictions on leaving then the numbers would go through the roof.

The fact they’re called defectors says it all. Anywhere else they’d be called emigrants.

I don’t think you can correlate the number of readers to the number of book instances or whatever they’re called. Most people (myself included) probably just use Goodreads, and BookWyrm is probably a good enough alternative that there’s no need to spin up another.

Edit: according to this there’s a lot of instances: https://joinbookwyrm.com/instances/

The joke isn’t the program itself, it’s the process of deploying a website to servers.

The cost is insane. We were looking at going down to London from Lancashire this weekend for a concert, and it would have cost £235 for both of us, return.

Of course the car would cost too, fuel, parking etc but no where near that price.

Living up to your username I see!

I’ve never seen Tesco sell avocados like this before, normally they’re just loose in a box or something
