"If you want the cat experience, get the fluffy ear hair band, soft paw mittens and pluggable tail..."

"Terrorist". Having the images doesn't mean they liked them, they used them to terrorize a whole community though.

Which is a great thing in places where the sun would otherwise scorch the earth not letting anything grow.

There are combined projects of "solar panels + grass + sheep". The grass helps retain water, lowering the temperature under the panel, which increases panel efficiency, and the sheep keep the grass from growing too tall, while feeding themselves.

When you have a loved one pass away... and you get forced to pony up $10k for a basic service, cremation in a nice casket, and a pretty expensive "basic" urn for the ashes, because the funeral home won't let you use anything cheaper like a pine box or a shroud, with the only choice being between an "eco gas" cremation in your own city vs. a $2k cheaper "non eco" one a city over... you'll understand why people call funeral homes parasites and look for alternatives.

Hm... it's not the same.

nursing home with piles of corpses

Funeral home. People tend to come already dead in there.

Fundamentalists running from people not letting them be as fundamentalist as they wanted.

it's like watching two children fighting over who's sandcastles can be built in the sandbox

Welcome to war.

And what do we do if children can't learn to share? You take away everything and no one is happy.

So is that what this is going to come to? Do adults need to intervene to quell the infants?

That would be nice... only there are no adults.

PS: any adults 👽 out there... whenever you're ready, we welcome you 🛸

This seems to bring LW closer to Reddit. /s

But seriously, what is the point of all of this? It only seems to overcomplicate things. Now a user will have to:

• Follow the ToS
• Follow the CoC
• Follow whatever rules a community's sidebar states
• Match whichever mod's interpretation of all the above

In that order, or any other order? I see nothing about protesting the breach of the ToS by either the CoC or some community, or some community's mod... so which supersedes which?

How is this going to be communicated to users commenting/posting from other instances? Or is this only applicable to users registered on this instance? In which case, what is going to be applicable to federated users?

What are the user's rights?

• Users Responsibilities: 4.x
• Our Rights: 6.x
• Users Rights: none?

If you want to establish this as a legal document, then you're missing at least a section.

If this is about giving as many reasons as possible to remove/ban content/users, it's all unnecessary, just say "mods can remove/ban whatever"; it's a private instance, you can do that.

If this is about having a ruleset that protects the users from arbitrary mod decisions... I see none of that in there.

Low effort.

At least pick some real sounding ones, like "Przemysław Mądrzykowski", or something...

How about cleaning the bottom 10%'s debt, with the earings from one week of the top 0.1%?

Depends on where you go.

Subs like r/worldnews and r/tech have bottom of the barrel comments, but still manage to get some posts.

r/IAmA had many of the mods leave, so the remaining ones are stopping all "out of Reddit" activities, like recruiting celebrities, verifying identities, and so on. It's pretty much worthless now.

Small niche subs are still working, but the equivalent communities on Lemmy are getting better quality right now.

Reverse mortgage says the bank will.

Symbols on sticker from top to bottom:

• WiFi
• no USB
• peel here

Sounds more like "This printer has WiFi, no need for USB, peel here otherwise".

But still stay away from HP consumer shit, I wouldn't even let it connect over USB.

Paper reflects light for white, ink absorbs light for black.

OLED and CRT screens stay off for black, use power for light.

LCD screens keep the backlight on all the time, only hide it for color/black.

E-ink works like paper... but has low refresh rates and the displays tend to break somewhat easily.

If we all used dark mode on OLED screens, we could save maybe 0.0000001% of energy, making everything "more sustainable".

16-year-old boy [...] struggling to see the logic

What logic?

had gone through thousands of changes of seasons [...] 300 years old

300 years is only 1200 seasons.

You can still go to the instance and read it, subscribe to it from a non-defederated instance, or even create an account there directly.

Or rather... the tokens were held on a sidechain created in collaboration with FTX... yes, that FTX, the one that "misplaced" a bunch of billions of dollars, and for a long time it took a somewhat elaborate way to convert Reddit community points (Moons, Bricks) into USD.

A couple months ago, after the API debacle, the tokens got listed on Kraken... and their value took a quick nosedive.

They "IPO-ed" them, and it failed, so now they're slashing them.

Funnier yet, when you go to https://𝕏.com you also end up on x.com which redirects to twitter.com.

People can re-invent and re-discover things. It still happens all the time in this day and age of worldwide massive communications. I'd be surprised if the right angle theorem didn't get discovered thousands of times throughout history.
