It was a good answer anyway

Don’t forget waking up hungover, checking the time, and seeing you still have 3 hours to go in a loud metal tube.

This is really it. I’ve been working remote since well before 2020. If my office were 12 minutes away by bike I’d be there every day. Having an entirely separate space dedicated for work is great, actually! Especially if your team is all there too.

But when I first went remote it was 90 minutes by car, and half my team were in other countries. Going remote gave me 15 hours per week of my life back. There’s nothing you can do to convince me to give that up again.

Perchance

Holy shit, I remember now.

I used to self host email and got sick of my emails never getting through. Email is federated in theory, but pretty centralized in practice. Paying for Proton was definitely worth it.

Yep. I want to federate and block who I want to federate and block. Large instance admins need to make compromises for practical reasons, but I don’t. My personal instance has no boards, so I don’t have to deal with problematic users from other instances either. If an instance is particularly awful, I can just not visit them until I have time to switch to my admin account and defederate it, there’s no urgency.

Plus, I thought it would be easier to get my friends to switch if they had an admin they could literally call if they ran into problems.

One character is explicitly underage and sexually assaulted in game. Another is the “she died young and is a ghost so she just LOOKS young but she’s actually way older” trope.

If an artist’s vision is sexualized children, maybe that artist needs an eye exam.

Knowledge is ordering a martini because you want gin. Wisdom is specifying a “gin martini” to the bartender.

Wtf why. There’s no karma on lemmy to farm!

There’s been a few posts on it, including one where the OP intentionally voted the post up with an army of bots to demonstrate the problem.

If you run an instance with closed registration you’ll probably receive a bunch of incredibly similar, clearly AI generated, applications from bot accounts. They seem to prefer existing instances over spinning up bot instances, to avoid defederation.

Some of these stores are planning to have food trucks and other event stuff during the strike to raise money for SBWU. So if you’re near one, check it out!

Sick, thanks!

I’ve been running a private instance for about a week and would like to know some of these too. My understanding is the banned users are users that other instances ban, and that information also federates to you. For the other two questions, afaik dumping the db is the only way to check users? And I’m not sure about the timeouts. I find it helps to periodically restart the lemmy service(s) on a cron.

A lot of people here in the US have bought into this as their retirement strategy. The value needs to go up, so they can downsize and ride the leftover cash for the rest of their life. If the number doesn’t go up, they can’t retire. This forces otherwise normal people to become very, very, invested in ensuring real estate is an asset with value that outpaces what people can afford. It’s a ponzi scheme.

While the primary motivation for it is definitely cynical, I am quite enjoying the MMO-lite aspects of the game. Running into strangers in the wild and doing activities together feels better in Diablo than it did in Destiny.

Edit: it would be pretty sick if they had an offline-only “realm.” D3 on switch was great for long flights and other places without steady internet. D4 is probably unplayable in air.
