Oh THAT's why all the eggs lately.

it is

She specifically asked if she could vote, they told her yes, then she still cast a provisional ballot just in case, then she was sent to prison for voting illegally.

I saw a free preview screening of Mission to Mars right before it came out. That horrible movie ended and the theater was dead silent, then someone yelled out, "I didn't have to pay to see that pile of crap". Everyone applauded.

Am I blind or is there no letter i?

The "my IDE didn't recognize the file type and opened it in here by default" editor.

Hey, could you change the post text so it doesn't sound like an ad for imgur? Thank you.

Thankfully both of the linked mods have been taken down. Have to be vigilant when downloading mods.

She's not your buddy, pal

I mean, you named your account "you are hurting the fediverse" to come and ask them to close registrations then you ignore their questions. Seems kinda rude to me.

So instead of tweeting something do they now "X it out"?

They got rid of their free offerings, maybe that's what you are thinking of.

I think there are a couple of reasons to not allow mods on one instance to moderate posts on another instance.

One example I can think of, if I wanted to grief a community I might go to another instance that doesn't have that community, create it, making myself a mod in the process. Then I would request federation with the community I want to grief. Then I'd mod away all their posts, or do anything else I wanted. With some luck and okay timing I bet a person could do a lot of damage before federation was turned off. People in IRC chat rooms used to use a similar technique to steal OP from others in rooms. Making modding of federated content only effect the local instance would contain any of that damage. As a feature creep sort of feature, perhaps modding done on an instance could send a suggested mod response to the originating instance, and they could do what they wanted with the information.

Also, having it set up like I originally suggested could allow for other non standard federation arrangements. Like one instance that allows nsfw content in a community to be federated with one that auto blocks anything marked nsfw. Maybe even one way federation, where an instance shows posts from another in a community, but it isn't reciprocated. I don't think that would be usually the best idea, but it might work.

It would be neat if communities from different instances could federate with each other like the instances themselves do.

In my mind it would work like this:
If two communities have the same topic, and have compatible rules, then they could federate with each other. This would show the posts from both in a combined view in whichever instance you were logged in on.

For moderators there would be two types of posts.
Posts originating on their instance they would have full mod control over, and any actions taken on the posts would change the post for all other communities they are federated with.
Posts originating from federated communities I think mods should be able to hide in the local communities as well as a subset of other mod abilities, like sticky. However these would only affect the local copy, not the original or the other federated communities.

As far as I know neither Kbin nor Lemmy has anything like that, but I think it would be a great feature if either could make something like that work.

I tried ghee, it tasted awful. Butter flavored coconut oil is where it's at.

The RIF subreddit has been marking each post with its stage of grief since this began. Most were at acceptance last I checked.

Not sure that's an unpopular opinion, that was a good show and deserved a real ending.

That one was so annoying because you had to be using the log server to have any issues. If your network was locked down, the log server was disabled, or if you happened to be using a version that was from before the log server was added, then there were no issues. But clients just heard "log4j" and thought it was unsafe.

I'll be honest, I think kbin's microblog feature needs work. It either needs to be integrated into the lemmy style posts somehow or needs something else fine with it. It's pretty confusing how it currently stands.

Reddit Is Fun is one of the apps being killed off next week. Their subreddit was marking each post with which stage of grief it was. A lot of anger and Bargaining.

I was reflexively opening Reddit too. I combated that by putting a link to kbin.social where I had my RIF app on my phone. So the reflex lands me here now.

What do you call a med student that graduated with a C average?

Doctor

We could also bring back the old Webring concept for discoverability. Might even be able to decentralize and federate that bit.

I honestly think something like that happened. It wouldn't even need to be all. Of just half left the other half wouldn't have the numbers to keep from being down voted out of the conversation.

For sure deserves to be.

Want to hear some irony? I'm here because I saw a thread on Reddit about that subreddit being banned.

After (maybe during?) the EA thing they added the ability to throttle downvotes so that can't happen again. I'm surprised they didn't just artificially set it to look like it was upvoted.

@dannekrose Dude, you are a rock star. Thank you for explaining all that. Do you happen to know what the "boost" link at the bottom of a comment does? Also, do you happen to know how to expand threads by default in kbin? Your responses were hidden when I looked at this thread until I clicked the "expand" link.

@Nodachi216 @cache_miss

That's what I did...
No wait, I'm here now after 13 years on Reddit. My mistake.

There are some fast food places that do that on the screens that replaced their "behind the counter" menu. Worse, sometimes they will switch between two menus and an ad. I need to look at what I'm ordering so I remember to order it right.

I bought a gas stove/oven a few months ago. Took me a couple of weeks to notice that I can connect it to my wifi for some reason. I haven't, and don't intend to, but I am a little curious what features could possibly be in there.

I found out about kbin by seeing a comment on reddit about them banning r/kbinmigration.

Roll camera is Co-op and really fun. The theme is that you are making a movie. During the game you have to balance budget and time while trying to shoot all the scenes of the movie, and while problems are continuously happening. It may be balanced to the easy side generally, but you can tweak the difficulty by starting with different budgets and amounts of time.

Amazon has a very generous free tier for outgoing email in SES, and it is pretty easy to set up.
