That’s true. But I guess I’m not the only one haha!

Why did they use such an obscene word for this?

“Ploopy”? I would say it’s weird (for headphones) and maybe non-descriptive. How is it “obscene”?

I have a lot of issues with Lemmy and more specifically how the fediverse will work with multiple copies of communities and the knee-jerk defederation. But, in terms of stability, content and quality, I feel like it has been getting better. I’m willing to give it some more time.

65 minutes to go!

Still seems to be down. In Connect for Lemmy I get an error message that it is down for maintenance

In the United States.

I imagine the defense is going to be that the model just reads the text, and then it does not store it anywhere verbatim, so there is no copyright infringement. Kind of like reading a book and learning from it.

I saw they charge, looked around a bit for how much, couldn’t figure it out and noped out.

Are you searching on the website or in Jerboa?

The search is a bit funny. If you’re on the website and search and if the community hasn’t been indexed by your instance, you won’t get it in the results. But, if you search with the url https://feddit.uk/c/britishproblems even though it doesn’t give results it will go and index the community. A few minutes later it will show up.

I don’t know if that works in Jerboa (android app)

In a minute they’ll be sour that there’s no remake :-P

The problem is that these aren’t always trivial pieces of info to figure out

It’s generally unsanitary, especially when using the toilet. Often it’s smelly, even if you don’t realize it. You’ll be in crowded spaces and risk getting your toes injured.

• pack light
• give yourself plenty of time. It’s better to be bored for 30 min at the gate than running through a terminal trying to catch your flight
• be ready for security, try to pack so it’s easy to do things like get your laptop out and so you don’t need many bins. If that’s not possible, just be calm and organized
• tuck stuff from your pockets into your bag before security (wallet, keys, phone, etc.)
• avoid belts, hats, heavy shoes (things they’ll make you remove)
• on the other side of security, move your stuff to the side when packing back up (there’s often a table you can move to)
• bring a water bottle and find a water refill station after security so you don’t pay a ridiculous amount for water
• if you can bring your own (non-smelly) food for the airport and plane, assuming you’re not getting airplane food, to avoid the ridiculous prices for food at the airport
• be close to your gate 45 minutes before your flight. Boarding will likely start 30 min before, but be there for announcements and in case they call your name
• before boarding, grab small things from your bag you know you’ll want, like your headphones, charging cable, etc. and put them in your pockets to make it easier when you get to your seat
• there are likely people in front of you and behind you. Treat the seat in front of you and your seat back with respect. This includes when you go to lean your seat back, do a courtesy check
• keep your elbows in
• make sure your kids do the same, e.g. they aren’t kicking the seat in front
• don’t wear sandals
• don’t put your feet on the arms of the seat in front of you
• keep your voice low
• don’t get drunk
• shower and brush your teeth before you travel
• don’t wear heavy scents (e.g. perfume)
• during the taxi to the gate, gather your stuff and check the seat pocket carefully
• let people into the aisle and off the plane in a respectful manner, don’t crowd forward
