Fails to consider the case in which the 2-year-old sister is now male.

I recently took over !localllama@sh.itjust.works

That’s really cool, fam, it’s an important topic and I’m glad to see it getting independent support here.

You’re hired.

Then again, I think this place benefits from a slow and steady growth rate.

ikr. I’d rather be in a cafe than a cafeteria. Cafeterias are only really useful if you want to advertise to people.

When you travel, bring as few devices as possible with you. Obviously, you’ll bring your phone with you, but leave your laptop at home if you can.

Last time I travelled overseas I took a burner phone without a calling plan, and just used it as a wifi device at the hotel. I used google maps and “offline maps”, GPS still worked. Used the phone as a camera, and I would have uploaded anything private and wiped locally but that wasn’t necessary.

If anyone at the border had asked, I’d have said it was so I didn’t risk losing my phone, and so work couldn’t call me up and bug me during vacation.

I don’t know why people suggested to try again.

When software devs do user experience studies, they ask the end users to “think aloud” (while doing something) or “tell us why you did that” (after the fact). So I agree with your comment, but in the spirit of a user experience study…

• although a message said “registration application denied”, when I re-tried logging in I also got a message saying something like “too many users try again later”. So I thought it might just be a server glitch or overload or something
• the “confirm your email” message, and the fact that https://lemmy.world/u/sergio had been created, suggested that my account had in fact been created
• I am not actually a bot or a spammer so I didn’t see any reason why I should be rejected. I didn’t want to give up just because I saw one “denied” message as part of the confusing experience. There wasn’t much downside to just trying again a day later. (except I felt a bit of apprehension and it was kind of a downer when it didn’t work again)

!badmovies@lemmy.world and !bmoviebonanza@lemmy.world in a nutshell.

Thanks, it’s amazing how I can log in to lemmy every day and there are still live interesting communities that I didn’t know existed. We’re really not that small after all.

When I was taking writing classes several decades ago, people like Joyce were considered like a baseline. If all else failed, just try writing like him. Ernest Hemingway and Raymond Carver were in the same category.

I’ve been going to a series of readings by the MFAs of the nearby university. It’s amazing how they’re mostly still writing in the same style. wtf is up with that.

This is literally you, buddy:

be a chad… speak the truth. At !chadmctruthstruth@lemmy.world

Have you tried posting to !chadmctruthstruth@lemmy.world ?

Now that you mention it, there are a couple of us posting regularly on !bmoviebonanza@lemmy.world and !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee and I sometimes post to !martialartsmovies@lemm.ee , !badmovies@lemmy.world , and !cultfilms@lemux.minnix.dev. If you add them all together you have a pretty vibrant community.

Maybe we should do that thing where we link to each other’s communities in the sidebar, like a “movie ring” or something?

The pilot flying the plane obviously chose this path on purpose

I think most corporate pilots have a company center that works out the flight paths for them. This probably doesn’t apply to private jets tho.

He doesn’t ask his engineers, who’ve got better things to do than to answer his questions.

Engineers are generally happy to answer their manager’s / funder’s questions bc that means that they care about the details and can make more informed decisions. Also, the manager learns who they can call for in case of an emergency where they need something explained.

agreed. at most it belongs on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com so we can consider how we can use it to advertise lemmy to disenchanted r$dditors.

They’re a beautiful shade of AI.

Had to look it up, sounds like an interesting game!

I use firefox to log into pixelfed, dark mode works on that. (Dark Mode Reader extension fwiw). haven’t tried it on firefox android tho.

I seem to remember Lemmy had a harder crash

iirc during the r$ddit API debacle, Lemmy went from 1000 MAUs (40 MAU for kbin) to a peak of around 70k then down to around 38k MAUs (lemmy + kbin). However I think this was only counting posts and comments as “activity”, I think it was around March 2024 they started counting up/downvotes as well and the MAUs stabilized in the lower 40ks for the rest of the year and is now slowly rising.

Yeah this is looking to be a really good growth period. Pixelfed went from 15K in late December to a peak of 300K plus, and if it levels out at 150K that’s decent. I don’t think you want to suddenly grow too fast on a fediverse platform with a single part-time developer who’s also (singlehandedly?) running the main instance.

One thing I wonder is: how many of those people were already active on other fediverse platforms…
