  To my knowledge Lemmy doesn’t have user tags. So any tagging will be client specific.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thilk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, milk and gelatin is just shitty panna cotta. Add a few more ingredients and it will be good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It should be a strict rule⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As the real estate agent said, Location Location Location, and we’re right next to the airport! It will be very convenient if we have to fly one day.

  Ok but for real, that wouldn’t work, right? How would them holding it complete the circuit? The circuit is just gonna be from one screw to the top of the pole back through another screw, not the part the person is holding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have a rasberry pi 5 collecting dust, what are some neat useful things i can do with it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I don’t know if dependent is the right word. I’m fully aware that Home Assistant is something I play with for fun.

  I can check the app and see how much power my solar has generated today, how hot my water heater is, or see what temperature it is inside or outside. None of that is helpful for anything other than for fun.

  Though I can do thinks like bump up the target temperature of my hot water when the solar is making too much power in order to store that energy as heat, which is pretty cool.

  What can I say, this is some people’s idea of fun. I got security cameras (that I can view through home assistant) and put them not pointed at entryways or windows because I don’t care about security, I pointed them at areas where the dog is and the kids play so I can play with object and facial recognition, all locally processed.

  It’s ok to not think it’s your idea of fun, but if anyone uses home assistant in a way that they rely on rather than just for the fun of playing with the technology then I’d love to hear what that use is!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man posts his incorrect opinion online⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The same in NZ. Is this that you never ever wear shoes on inside?

  Is it acceptable to walk into your own house and walk around with shoes on? Sure.

  Do most people do that most of the time? In my experience, people will be shoes off in their own home most of the time, but it’s not some big taboo to keep them on if you’re popping in to grab something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real Struggle 😔⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, that’s a good point. However, if I wanted to export a CSV with only one decimal place, it would be mighty annoying if changing it to one in Excel didn’t save it like that in the CSV. Unless there was another option to control that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real Struggle 😔⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah thanks, I didn’t understand the original problem but I’ve got it now 🙂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real Struggle 😔⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ahhh, the excel format keeps the precision but changes the display to 1 decimal. When exported to CSV, only that 1 decimal is exported, so you can’t bring back what isn’t there. But the original file still has it.

  I understand now, thanks! Definitely a coworker problem not an Excel problem then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real Struggle 😔⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe, by why wouldn’t Excel let uou increase the number of digits in a CSV? The data is currently in Excel, and more digits isn’t incompatible with the CSV format.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of stupid rule is that?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm yeah that’s what we figured. We were on holiday, we couldn’t take food home to eat later so just forced the food down then didn’t eat again for 24 hours 😆

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of stupid rule is that?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok serious question. I live in a country where they don’t serve you free bread.

  What do you do if you eat all the delicious bread then you aren’t hungry anymore?

  I had this real life scenario happen when I was in Canada and we felt obligated to order mains even though we didn’t want them.

  Is it socially acceptable to pay for your drinks and leave?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I would also be confused⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But how do I read these subtle hints, can’t she just tell me how she’s feeling?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people eat this?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fat and salt are the key ingredients in most fried food, so it’s basically deep fried bread.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Buttcoin⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s the thing. Either it is all speculators and someone will be left holding the bag, or it’s a real investment.

  Do you believe now that it’s a real investment? If so, then there’s no reason not to buy in now.

  If you don’t believe it’s a real investment, and the price could crash at any point and you lose all your money, then it was as true back then as it is today and selling out was the wise thing to do even if in hindsight you could have made a lot more money.

  Many people would compromise though, sell half to get their original money back and leave half. Then sell half again when/if it doubles, etc.

  Was it in NZ or is this really common? Here’s the one I know: rnz.co.nz/…/himatjit-kahlon-convicted-of-manslaug…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this message supported by World admins? Is there any chance at all this slipped past their control?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t take your posts and comments, you can’t even do that migrating from one Lemmy instance to another.

  According to this post, you can migrate your account settings (including subscribed communities) from Lemmy to Piefed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So how was your year in review?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t have to be the moment, just that they would disappear after some amount of time that is less than a year (so they can’t make a year in review page).

  I seem to recall PieFed does delete certain topics (memes?) after some period of time, perhaps configurable per instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this message supported by World admins? Is there any chance at all this slipped past their control?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s built into Lemmy, the software. It was not made by Lemmy.world, they just run it.

  You know you can use Piefed or Mbin and see the same content while avoiding using the Lemmy software?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How customer service jobs be⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well if you get 50 from a large fries, isn’t it feasible they got 100 from two large fries?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This song, it's infectious⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha yip that’s the top album for me, this checks out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Regular Animals(2025), Art Basel Miami Beach - Mike Winkelmann(Beeple)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just took the info from the article, what is wrong about it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Regular Animals(2025), Art Basel Miami Beach - Mike Winkelmann(Beeple)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In case people are wondering, from left to right in the bottom image:

  • Andy Warhol
  • Mark Zuckerberg
  • Elon Musk
  • Pablo Picasso
  • Beeple, real name Mike Winkelmann (the artist who made them)

  There is also a Jeff Bezos one not in that image but seen in the other images.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemmy.world down...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am under the impression it’s dedicated hardware not a VPS, but it’s leased from Hetzner they don’t maintain the hardware themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I like kiwi⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And kiwifruit doesn’t even grow on a tree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would this extension help folks in the UK with Imgur posts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yip, makes sense, thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would this extension help folks in the UK with Imgur posts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah haha, I actively avoid using google so don’t log in to an account. If you don’t mind me asking, if corporate surveillance isn’t what you’re avoiding, what’s the main reason you’re using a VPN?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would this extension help folks in the UK with Imgur posts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No it’s a paid VPN, and it starts fast but after the first 500GB or so it slows right down.

  I do suspect many of the issues are from activity on the VPN rather than specific VPN blocking, but that doesn’t change the issues.

  How do you handle the Google Captchas that never end? That was the worst part for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would this extension help folks in the UK with Imgur posts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have, thanks. The impossible to complete captchas are the worst for me, so many sites that are basically broken.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would this extension help folks in the UK with Imgur posts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Browsing lemmy is probably fine, but the general internet is a god damn nightmare to browse on a VPN. Can’t load that one reddit search result with what you need. Endless google captchas making you do traffic light after traffic light on sites you didn’t even kniw used google. Downloading games from GOG is capped at like 0.5Mbps. And I’ve had plenty of instances of cloudflare blocking VPNs to certain sites.
