I kinda want to make a sign out of that (with proper attribution and a watermark of the Titan sub) and put it on our manufacturing floor.

I don't know what CUPS is, but I had 3 major reservations about switching my barely functional computer to Linux:

1. Ive never worked in Linux before
2. My dive computer only uploads to proprietary software using a proprietary cable.
3. My Brother laser printer was working SO well wirelessly. It's the first time I've ever not hated my printer

Turns out some amazing people made open source dive logging software so I can still download my dives.

And for printing, I meant to get around to setting it up, then one day I forgot and accidentally printed something and it just worked. I was so shocked that for a bit I assumed that reformatting the hard drive and changing operating systems must've somehow preserved my printer settings.

At work, I have a reputation for being the guy who never shuts up about trying to get new people into scuba diving. If there are 2 or more divers at the lunch table I honestly feel a little bad for everybody else. The cost of getting trained and renting or buying all your gear can scare people away, but I would at least strongly recommend that anybody on an island vacation or cruise at least try a "discover Scuba" class. You'll learn everything you need to know to not die by watching a quick video, and working in a pool, then you get to go have an amazing dive in the ocean with an instructor.

A missed opportunity to create dungeon.social, a shared place for ttrpg players and bdsm enthusiasts.

Ouch, I feel that one.

It's better than "no censorship". It's "whatever censorship you and your instance agree on".

Don't like the rules at beehaw? Cool, leave beehaw! Too many boobs in your "all" feed? Cool, block the domain or join an instance that doesn't federate with them. It's just SO much better this way for everybody.

I had an apartment in Indiana. When I gave directions to my house I used to say, "turn right at the traffic light. There's corn on the left, my house is on the right. If you hit the soy you've gone too far."

Parenting, since our first child was born in September of 2020. Still giving it a go. We just had a 2nd child this July, so I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.

For /r/scuba, there was already a scuba@mander.xyz

I tried and failed to post there. I assumed it was suffering the same growing pains as everywhere else, but after a few days of waiting I just created kbin.social/m/scuba

I think I would like the FEDIVERSE even when its the "old thing" just because as far as I can tell, the product itself seems like a terrible place for investments and profits. Then again, I could be WAY off here.

Also, at the moment, there's an almost complete lack of marketing/advertising, which is REALLY nice.

You can, you just have to scroll to the bottom of all the comments.

My apologies, I don't know if you never saw it, there, or if you saw it there and just didn't like it.

Specifically, when I google stuff about how kbin works, I see the only answers are on Reddit and then I'm in a real pickle.

From vlemmy.net, I first searched for !vegetablegardening@kbin.social and found nothing.

Then I searched for https://kbin.social/m/vegetablegardening and found it.

Might as well bring a wide-aperture LOK1, swarmer grenades, and gemini turrets so you don't even have to bother with using the aim-stick at all. You can just you one hand to shoot, and the other hand to eat sandwiches.

I read the article expecting to find some mitigating circumstances, like maybe he was underage. Turns out he's 22 and that sentence includes the punishment for other swatting calls, and DDoS attacks against French government sites. This seems like a shockingly lenient sentence, but I have to acknowledge that almost everything seems shockingly lenient when you come from a place with the largest incarcerated population in the world.

3 years of community service and mandatory mental health care will probably help this dude a lot more than locking him up for 5 years with violent criminals.

As part of my onboarding, I watched a YouTube video explaining the FEDIVERSE at some conference that took place a few years ago. He succinctly described the benefits of having instance-level moderation/TOS by calling it,

"The freedom of speech, and the freedom to filter

I really like that the platform itself doesn't impose that, but every community gets to choose what's best for them.

Yup! I had a little difficulty communicating with the computer, but all I had to do was add my user to the "dial-out" group and it worked like a charm.

Keep pulling that string we've almost got them!
