I’ve got this meeting you can attend. It’ll be fun, I promise.

Fun fact, #1 cause of gas station fires is static electricity, most likely from people sliding into their cloth seats while waiting for gas to pump. This is why some states don’t have the tabs that keep the pump going.

Lemmy needs an announcement system, bad.
Where admins can show up in user notifications. And where users can subscribe to get notices (like for software updates fron devs).
I’ve mentioned this many times in relation to Lemmy developers posting announcements for upgrades to a community just assuming it will stay in the Top posts long enough for every admin to see.
If users finding out their instance is closing via a SP isn’t enough to prove the need, I don’t know what is.

I think you make some toxic jumps from A to E instead of the optional B, C, or D if your mind not only goes to a relationship, but instantly jumps to both parties being toxic.
- Comment on Canadian Wildfires signal major L over the United States 1 week ago:
The map posted here is misleading. Each point is representative of an independent fire, but not the fire’s size. Looking at the interactive map in the linked article, you can see just how large the fires in Canada are.
Personally I don’t care where they are, they’re sad regardless. But the volume of smoke we are seeing is from the sheer volume of acreage blazing in Canada.

Let cars merge onto the highway?
People do realize it’s the merger’s responsibility, right? I mean, don’t block people in, but you should be holding your speed if you’re in the right lane, not adjusting.
Drive predictably, not nicely.

There was an article recently about a company abusing services for like 20 years using free trials for another company over and over.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 3 weeks ago:
- The US is expensive.

Just like Team’s Teams.
- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 3 weeks ago:
Game development should not be a gig economy. It is often treated as such so studio execs can pocket more money by dropping staff at release to pad their own wallets. There are plenty of game companies, and millions of companies in other sectors, that reinvest that capital into the company.

Give us guaranteed emploment of the staff that built it, and you get guaranteed pre orders?

Those aren’t guesses.

The featured picture looks horrible, the others look fine for pre-paints (to me).
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Agree 99%. Two caveats:
- In situations like this, yes. But there are certainly many situations a 10 year old is not equipped to deal with that adults are, because:
- Remember that 10 year olds do not have the same comprehension, vocabulary, or mental resilience of an adult. Words can have long-term effects on their development that they might not for most adults.
(Saying this for OP more than for you, BTW)
- Comment on Starting today, Heroic Games Launcher is indexing their Discord server 4 weeks ago:
It’s an intermediate step, but M t a good one.
If you’re indexing the content anyway, move it to a forum since it’s the same amount of work. Indexing inside Discord is just wasted hours as more and more items will continue to pile up.
Discord is absolute trash for this type of thing, and when intermediate steps are likely the same amount of work as migrating your community, why bother other than the claim of “it’s where people are already”?

So a really low budget movie, then.
- Comment on Bungie appears to have plagarized an artist's work and style in their extraction shooter "Marathon" according to this Bluesky post 4 weeks ago:
Love the response. Very CYA and they’re called out on it by multiple people:
hi, tell legal to reply to my email from months ago.
i simply can’t believe you’re thanking anyone “for bringing this to our attention” just because it went viral.
what about all the times i’ve directly contacted you privately about using my work? why should i have to hurt your brand to be heard?
So, we had some unknown outsource companies at fault for plagiarizing previously and now unknown former empleyee? How convenient! Surely the fact that art director and other marathon artists follow her means nothing.
I really wish i could buy that this was actually just an overeager artist who got laid off to pay for pete parsons’ 80th classic car but not only is this the 4th time this has happened, joseph cross was following and clearly aware of antireal. yall knew and fully intended on getting away with it

Codeberg is the way now. GitLab is private for-profit, and could go the way of GitHub at any time.

Ghost is what we use (self-hosted) and it supports ActivityPub along side Lemmy (activitypub.ghost.org). I dont believe it yet supports full-article posting, only links, though.

The original quote:
In an email to The Post, his father, Errol, said Musk and his younger brother were “interested in motorbikes, computers, basketball and a little about girls. They were not into political nonsense, and we lived in a very well-run, law-abiding country with virtually no crime at all. Actually no crime. We had several black servants who were their friends.”

- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 5 weeks ago:
Probably better to think of in Wh since I’ll be running 24v. About 98Wh of energy to boil, assume *~1.2 for loss so ~118Wh total. Thats ~5Ah at 24V, or ~10Ah at 12V.
I’ll be running pretty large bank, too, so not to concerned on it 😉
- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 5 weeks ago:
No more than a pot on induction. Or for that matter, no more than with propane, or friction, or pressure, or with a mini-sun. Takes the same amount of energy regardless hah.
Speaking of which, this is a pretty cool tool: www.omnicalculator.com/physics/water-heating
- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 5 weeks ago:
Yea, big steamer vs iron fan here. This will be for a van. A while back we aquired a mini van and through the magic of DIY it now has no back seats, a couch+bed, fold up kitchen and running water. We are very outdoorsy and like cheap travel, so we are doing some planning for potential next/future stage of life in something that could replace structural living 😉

I’ll be choosing an inverter soon. In the US, but considering a 240v just for the kettle.

This isn’t the doctor’s office. They have to use this crap for regulatory reasons.
