Ok this is actually a great point, and I’d like to pose another question. If you’re gonna pee standing up with the lid open, what’s the optimal angle to minimize splatter? I would love to see an experiment or simulation to find the optimal angle.

I have. Men with bad aim. Skill issue.
One possible fix is adding a urinal target. I’m sure you could implement a similar concept in a regular toilet.
A urinal target, sometimes known by the specific types urinal fly or urinal bee, is an image or mark placed inside a urinal to encourage users to aim in a particular place so as to avoid messes and reduce cleaning costs.

This is a shit take literally. Why would I sit down to pee if I don’t have to? That’s more contact with the gross toilet.
- Comment on My instance is lagging behind 14 hours of federated content... 3 days ago:
It’s mildly infuriating that the free software that I enjoy using doesn’t work perfectly. /s
People also don’t understand PieFed. It’s a fantastic project, but if you think switching to newer price of software that is still under development is going to have less hiccups…. Well you clearly don’t know how software works. This is not a knock on PieFed. On the contrary, I love what they built, but you have to have patience. This is free software build and hosted by volunteers.

It’s kinda mildly infuriating that this is mildly infuriating. Lemmy and PieFed are free, open source software run by dedicated volunteers. Many of those volunteers spend quite a bit of time making sure everything runs smoothly. Hiccups are gonna happen. You should donate to your instance if you wanna help things run smoother in the future.

I was looking for a $20 tier on Patreon, but maybe I should try GitHub then.
- Comment on It turns out there is a Lemmy alternative with categories - anyone got stories about it? 1 week ago:
Only thing I’ll add is Blorp is a Lemmy and PieFed client. No mbin support currently.
I’m the developer behind Blorp.
- Comment on It turns out there is a Lemmy alternative with categories - anyone got stories about it? 1 week ago:
Lemmy, PieFed, and mbin/kbin all provide APIs that let you pull data (communities, posts, users) from their backend. A client knows how to connect to the API, pull the data, and present it to the user. Lemmy, PieFed, and mbin all have a default client they ship with, but the Lemmy client only speaks Lemmy, the PieFed client only speaks piefed, etc.
Blorp, among other multi platform clients, speaks Lemmy and PieFed. Blorp can be self hosted, but it’s not a backend like Lemmy, PieFed, etc. Blorp reads/writes data via these APIs, but it doesn’t store any data on a server.
Idk if I explained that well. Does that make any sense?
Other way to think about it is email. Gmail is both a email server and a client. Blorp is like using a 3rd party email client that connects to Gmail and Yahoo.

I’m working on a Lemmy/PieFed client called Blorp that allows you to login to multiple accounts at once. However I don’t yet implement any PieFed specific features that Lemmy doesn’t have (e.g. categories).
PieFed has only recently had a stable v1 release, but based on my interactions with there devs, I’m very optimistic about their future.

A VPN doesn’t alter the requests your browser is making. It just masks your IP address.
- Comment on The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript 2 weeks ago:
The more things you block, the more unique and fingerprintable you become. Blocking JS altogether may mitigate some of that, but you can be fingerprinted even without JS.

Boring straight white man here, except with a piercing. I agree with other straight white man that your opinion is shitty. I was just thinking this week that I should get some pride bumper stickers to support my friends.

That does sound nice, but in writing this from my work from home location right near to the beach. But my second choice would be someplace with a lot of woods.

- Comment on Sounds like a plan 5 weeks ago:
I do feel this is a bit exaggerated. I’ve been in the industry for less than 5 years with a computer science degree. I think there is a lack of genuinely good engineers. You kinda also have to ignore tech twitter and LinkedIn telling you AI is going to replace software developers.
But long term, I think they will try and pay people less and less. I just also know a bunch of artists (mostly small musicians), and I can confidently sat we are fucking them over way more than software engineers. By my opinion is that we should band together with the artists and demand everyone be compensated more fairly.

Idk if something has changed but I think this is a baseless claim.
If it’s just visual gamification…we’ve sort of already come out against that, since we discourage karma-seeking by not displaying user’s comment and post score totals.

This is 3 years old, but I can’t find anything newer (mostly looking at GitHub) suggesting Lemmy devs have any intention of adding karma
