The idea of searching had me thinking that it would be nice to have a search-focused instance that didn’t defederate from any sites (besides the illegal stuff) and auto-subscribes to every new community so it has all the information possible. Then you could do “foo bar site:searchlemmy.com” and get an effect similar to reddit
Although that’s probably unnecessary. But would be kind of cool
I have a friend who is just so damn stubborn when it comes to mixing up their “comfortable” things if they aren’t the one to come up with the idea
Very frustrating
Any suggestions for an XMPP client?
In an ideal world I want something that has Discord’s “drop-in” chats where you don’t need to “start a call” anywhere, you just join in. My biggest gripe with Element’s voice chat
Yes, I’m afraid so. Some of the concepts will still apply but it’s most likely wiser to get a EU-specifc or country-specific book if you can find one
Black and Decker makes a series of books that are pretty good, I’ve been enjoying them so far. Black & Decker The Complete Guide to Wiring
I’ve also found various books from thrift shops to supplement as well as various resources from the internet
That statement presumes knowledge of GFI that I did not have - load side means nothing to a layperson
I’m leaning the science behind home electricity. I want to install an outlet in my bathroom for a bidet but I realized I didn’t understand when and where I needed a GFI outlet. So I’m learning via a handful of books
Similarly, I want to add another outlet in the basement for my cats’ automatic litter box.
I also just replaced my Nest doorbell with a “dumb” doorbell but the chime won’t work. So I need to do some research on how the chimes work…
I haven’t seen it mentioned but I enjoy channels like Solo Solo Travel - slow-TV style videos about public transportation. What food can you get on a first class flight from Tokyo to Australia? All the videos have zero commentary unless you turn on the subtitles.
I enjoy them a lot because they’re very relaxing and make me feel very cozy.
My hot take? No, it’s not
You’ll never change a mind with cruelty. You are merely selfishly expressing your anger
Best case scenario, this person now feels bad about buying a Tesla, but is now stuck with the car. They will likely have to waste resources fixing it and it may happen again. Sure, you could assume they’re rich and can afford to fix it but that wastes literal resources extracted from our planet to fix or replace the car. And if someone buys the used version they’ll have the same problem and may not be quite as rich the next time someone vandalizes the car.
More likely scenario, you piss the owner off and they dig in deeper. That’s just how humans work
I can find alternatives with enough effort, but I love me some heavy peated Scotch. The smokier the flavor the better
Good to know, thank you for the link
What VC money has Matrix taken? Genuinely curious
Replied in another comment, but I’ll paste here as well:
She is straight in the book, for the most part. She has a male love interest and that’s the only serious partner we hear about
The author uses the phrase “shared a bed” when talking about her trip to Oz with Glinda, but I’m honestly not convinced that isn’t just literal bed sharing because they were traveling.

I’ve now finished the book and I can say I’m with you. It was dreadful. Slow, crass (in the wrong ways), and overly high and mighty, it was a slog just to get through it.
The number of times the author references a child’s sexual development is insane. I don’t need to know that the little boy got his first boner, Maguire, I really don’t.
Urine is referenced at least once every five chapters. If it isn’t, then we must reference feces. If neither are referenced then we’re at the end of the book.
I thought the story was going to get good when Madame Morrible put them under the spell, but if anything it got worse after that. I thought it would get really fun and interesting and instead became a huge snoozefest.
What a letdown. I’m even more confused at how this became a musical than I was when I started
I was curious, so here’s the original post on Stack Overflow: Link (Archive Link)
My guy take it down a notch, damn. I’m not calling for his head on a pike, I have legitimate and valid criticisms. I apologize if the tone came off more critical than I meant it but hot hell you came in spicy.
But, to address your issue:
Why does one wrong make a right? Why does him exposing the issue invalidate any criticisms or expectations of quality or integrity? To me it does not, hence why I criticize. And I even said I was glad the information is coming to light, and I’m grateful for him drawing attention to it, I just wish it could have been done a little more tactfully is all. I would like to have all the information right now, rather than waiting for a “part 2”.
I also just don’t appreciate the stoking of anger, which has clearly worked. Ragebait is toxic and that’s what is being done with this story, from my perspective, so I don’t love it.
I’m glad this information is coming to light because I think that it should be fixed, at least as far as the affiliate link piece goes, but I find myself irritated by the sensationalism of the poster.
They’re really pushing to make this seem as evil as possible, and milking it for every drop it’s worth. Making this a two-part series and not exposing it immediately feels super shitty to me.
Just post the full information you have, if this is really so bad, stop trying to farm clips.
Also, not enough focus on the timeline. Honey’s business model has changed dramatically since it was released long ago, and I feel like the part two video is going to complain about the original Honey business model, which was literally just a coupon code aggregator, just based on the “cliffhanger” at the end
Here’s a JSON export of my current Obtainium library
For the most part, Crypto assets have no real value. They can be used as a currency, but that’s infrequent at this point, and really it’s now just a speculative asset.
In other words, Ethereum’s (and other Cryptos) value is based almost entirely upon how much people think someone else will pay in the future.
If they think the price will go up, then they will buy. If they think the price will go down, then they will sell.
Because of this, any shred of evidence that could predict the perceived value going up or down can cause a huge shift in the market. Most likely a news article was released, or someone Tweeted something, that made people think the price could change.
