I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.
Ask me anything.
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

Right, and I’m assuming Threads works on the Mastodon-style user follow paradigm, which means, currently, anyway, Lemmy wouldn’t be able to follow them directly.
But the ad-bot could, in theory, tag a Lemmy community and have that show up on Lemmy (at least, that seems to be how Mastodon content arrives here).
My instance preemptively defederated from Threads, but I’m assuming those ads are going to be served to Threads users via API, right, and not federated out?
Shareholders, if you keep that up, maybe I’ll grudgingly, once in a while, “think of the shareholders”.
When I was growing up, all my friends were into professional wresting (and also thought it was real).
Me:
Same. My “app” is just the webapp pinned as a PWA. Can’t even tell it’s not an app.
Come to think of it, most of my “apps” are that; very few locally installed, and that’s how I like it.
My friend group used to be very big on “pass the aux cord” when we’re hanging out. It was incredibly easy to switch out our phones (or iPods and portable CD players before that) to let all of us contribute music for the gathering.
Now? Ok, I disconnected from the BT speaker. Do you see it yet? Lemme try turning the BT speaker off and on again. [BING BONG!; “Connected”] Ugh, it reconnected to my phone. Let me just turn BT off on my phone and you try again.
It’s just such a PITA with BT, and having to keep USB-C and Lightning adapters on hand is even more annoying than that. If only there were a reliable and dedicated connection for audio devices…oh well.
You may!
🤘🏻 I see your Kate Bush and raise you a Billy Idol.
I’ve got a decent handful of songs from the 60s in my playlist rotation, but it’s not my “era” for sure. The important thing, I guess, is that the community is there and can expose the young’uns to some great classics.
I run a custom build of Nginx with a few extra modules compiled in:
Some guidance can be found here: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-waf/admin-guide/nginx-plus-modsecurity-waf-owasp-crs/
That guidance is for NginxPlus, but you can compile the dynamic module yourself with the community versions.
Oh, no, it doesn’t work that way for them. See, if a natural disaster strikes a blue city/area, it’s god doling out punishment for their wickedness. If a natural disaster strikes a red city/area, it’s god testing their faith because he loves them so much.
There at least used to be, and I got royally screwed by it.
The employee hooked the wrong “orange” syrup up to the dispenser, and what I thought was 32oz of Orange Crush (caffeine free) was 32oz of some Orange energy drink. Needless to say, I was up all night and ended up having to call off work the next day because I was so exhausted and useless (I’m very sensitive to caffeine).
Probably also less common due to liability. Panera got into hot water with their highly caffeinated lemonade.
Yeah, 100%. But, AFAIK, that’s how “art” works. Though you definitely want to make sure the appraiser is legitimate; can’t just have another buddy say it’s worth $12 million and write it off as such.
The standard deduction is $14,600 for FY 2024 ($15,000 for FY 2025)
So you would have to itemize your deductions and donate at least the difference between $14,600 and the itemized deduction total to “break even” if you were to not take the standard deduction. And then donate above that amount to reduce the taxable amount.
One scummy way would be to have an artist friend paint you something. If you can get that painting appraised at a crazy high value and donate it to a valid charity, you can deduct it at the appraised value (I think, anyway.)
I’d go further and demand that the team I’m hired for re-write the app completely and not just re-engineer it from the AI slop codebase.
My dyslexia initially read that as “plump and dumb” which is also accurate.
Ugh. This old argument again.
If you’ll remember, that’s how social media used to work. If you are old enough to remember OG Facebook, back when it required a .edu email address to sign up (and for a brief while after it was opened to the public), you only saw posts, and other people only saw your posts, if you both accepted friend requests. No randos were spewing nonsense in your feed; if Becky or Brandon started spewing conspiracy theories, you just un-friend them and they’re gone from your digital life.
It was just a place for people you already know to connect online and maybe meet some friends-of-friends in the process. The feed (“wall” I think it was called?) was reverse chronological and nothing was boosted or demoted; likes only indicated you liked it.
That model seemed to work pretty damn well by not allowing toxic people, bad actors, conspiracy nuts (unless your friends were all conspiracy nuts), and dis-/misinformation to permeate every freaking interaction.
Curious if this going to affect google results in Searx. Not sure how it works (scraping page, API, etc)
Are other countries this obsessed with birth certificates?
