I’ve had this happen twice in two weeks since installing Watchtower and have since scheduled it to only run on Friday evening…

Okay you go convince the government to re-appropriate Tesla. While you’re doing that for the rest of your life everyone else will keep burning them to actually get something done.

The best way to find groups is actually https://lemmyverse.net/communities . All individual servers are missing other communities due to de-feds or lack of federation. While I can’t say numerically how comprehensive Lemmyverse is, it’s a lot better than any instance I’ve tried.

They’re an international spy, obviously.

It’ll be interesting to see how things play out with Lemmy instances when Reddit bans porn.

Especially as many Lemmy instances don’t want to host or moderate NSFW content. I don’t blame them, but I’m also doubtful pornlemmy alone could handle the load (pun intended).

Welcome to Lemmy.ca! You chose well, we’ve got a pretty good admin team here.

To expand on what Grappling said, I’ll give you an example. A few years ago the city repaved a decrepit section of road into a smooth and wide open road that is wide enough for 4 lanes but made into 2 wide ones with massive shoulders. There are no pedestrians on this road and you can comfortably go 80-100km/h. The speed limit they set? 50. While it’s not every road, it is definitely a lot of roads that get treated like this. It results in getting very comfortable with breaking the speed limits because the speed limits are stupid not matched to the designs of the roads.

Jaywalking isn’t inherently unsafe. You can still get run over in a crosswalk and crossing earlier in the block when traffic is light can be safer. That isn’t to say I recommend it though.

Been sleeping the majority of the last 36 hours in between emptying my stomach, so not too hot. I really should not go into work today but I probably will anyway.

I would think many servers that accept donations don’t rely on them. But taking donations while it is optional can stave off the time when donations would be necessary.

Removing news from your regular feeds or taking a break from them for a week is chill, everyone should do that here and there. But don’t bury your head in the sand, you should keep an eye on it even if that is only browsing a dedicated news feed every week or two. Ignorance and complacency is how we got Trump 2024 with people actively voting against themselves.

Step 1: don’t browse the All feed. I dunno how Reddit was okay for you, visiting r/all was always full of Trump this Trump that every 5 minutes.

Good reasoning all 'round! Although Lemmy.ca doesn’t require you to be Canadian, so would be a decent recommendation for any NA user. As long as they don’t mind some more Canada posting in the Local feed.

I understood the reference post as I’m far too deep into degenerate internet culture, but I have definitely experienced what you say. I think sometimes people write in a way that simply doesn’t welcome people not on their wavelength. And that’s okay!.. as long as they don’t expect broad understanding.

Linux propaganda 😎👉

The reason they got defederated from so many major instances is less to do with the politics and more to do with the spam, brigading, and bad faith interactions that had no intention of civility.

I have no idea how your code works but I appreciate it for the excited guy /(oo)/

There are various reasons people may treat you as if you’re younger. I would bet the primary reason is no matter how much you think you’ve grown up, those changes have to be seen outwardly for a while before people that knew you as a kid will accept it. It took until 24 or 25 before I felt people had stopped treating me with kid hands. Keep in mind as well that as people get older, younger people start blending together a bit and a 20 year old does not seem as mature from a 30-40’s perspective. It’s similar to how younger people often have a hard time telling apart old people’s ages and they all seem “old”. The final point I’d make is that swearing isn’t something all adults do and is not related to maturity. It can be a sign of familiarity between certain people though. Swearing around family members is either something that comes with time or never, really depends on your parents/relatives.

Trying to push these issues in an “I’m a big boy now!” manner will generally backfire and get you treated young for longer, because it’s a very childish thing to do. I am not all-knowing so I don’t like giving absolute advice, but personally I think the best thing you can do is not worry so much about it and continue acting in a responsible manner. If you show yourself to be mature, others will realise and treat you as such. If they don’t then either you’re not as mature as you think or you should find someone who you can have a more level conversation with. It’s not so bad being young, anyway, “the grass is always greener” and you will miss it when people always look at you like an adult!

The random office PC with an older i7, no GPU, and two hard drives I was using idled at around 70W. So… it goes either way.

Edit: This was a “standard” ATX tower PC and reading your other comments it sounds like that isn’t what you’re referring to.
