So, the Internet of Shit is not just a euphemism now. Great...

As with every legal topic on the Internet: depending on your (international) jurisdiction.

Nice. Thanks for sharing that.

As much as I'd like it to be, it doesn't have the network effect/popularity that Reddit does. It covers maybe 70-80% of my Digg+ needs, but there are many topics/subs I want that Lemmy just doesn't have.

"Be the change you want to see" is always there: if a topic/sub doesn't exist, you can always create it yourself. But no good deed goes unpunished, so you're now the owner/moderator...

This makes me think of the Sikh community's charity/giving (can't remember the term) food giving that happens in most towns globally where there a Gurdwara.

There has to be a better way than waves hands everything, really.

I have Netdata running in a container, which has a useful all-in-one-pane view, and it does a good job of auto detecting other containers and the host OS. Its essentially zero config.

It also has alerting capability, which is not zeroconf (configuring it properly is a bit of a chore). 😅

They try to push a pro/paid version, but it's subtle and completely optional (a bit like the way Portainer does it).

I was dragged along to see it at the cinema in the (then) new 3D format (versus the old red/blue glasses).

Took me 10 minutes to realise the story is Pocahontas, so I've always thought of it as Pocahontas Smurfs. And the 3D, while a cool novelty, gave me motion sickness something fierce.

While clearly no money was spent on the script, it did move animation technology and adoption along quite a bit.

Gobsmacked a sequel was made.

Quokka on Rottnest Island (Western Australia)?

Followed by trying to stop fuckwits from playing "quokka soccer". 🤭

The clock on my PVR (01:59) and the light switch. It's time for bed...

To add to what others have replied, Amazon have an institutional belief that everyone who makes it through the Loop is better than 50% of existing staff.

It could be post-hoc rationalising of back-loaded share vesting, hire-to-fire, and their other many practices, but that's the position. With that kind of thinking, it makes this behaviour, including it's consequences, a no-brainer win:win to them.

That's a fair point. I shouldn't have generalised your entire country, as it has so many linguistic differences.

Even outside of the whole pop/soda/Coke thing. 😄

It's regional. I grew up in Australia, where it's pronounced as it is in the US: dah-tah. But I now live in the UK, where it's pronounced day-tah.

The same is true of "router", the network device (but not the woodworking tool): rau-tah vs roo-ter.

Working in IT made it a ballache for a while until I remembered to always change my pronunciation for them. 🙄

 

Posted this to AskLemmy (https://lemmy.world/post/17088629), but thought it worth posting here:

I use old.lemmy.world as my interface and I've noticed that roughly every month I'm:

  • Forcibly logged out and have to do the re-auth dance for no apparent reason.
  • Everything I've set in Settings is forgotten: Default Listing reverts to All, Default Post Sort reverts to Hot, and so on.

My browser is set to retain cookies and such, so it's not PEBKAC/PICNIC. Why is Lemmy doing a nuke-from-low-orbit every month (roughly) despite me using it as recently as the day before? Why aren't my preferences being retained between logins?

I suspect the recent update (https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld/112706805419064266) explains the latest event, but the questions still stand.

 

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I didn't find mention of it. I use old.lemmy.world as my interface and I've noticed that roughly every month I'm:

  1. Forcibly logged out and have to do the re-auth dance for no apparent reason.
  2. Everything I've set in Settings is forgotten: Default Listing reverts to All, Default Post Sort reverts to Hot, and so on.

My browser is set to retain cookies and such, so it's not PEBKAC/PICNIC. Why is Lemmy doing a nuke-from-low-orbit every month (roughly; haven't measured it) despite me using it as recently as the day before? Isn't this bonkers practice?


Edit: I've just seen https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld/112706805419064266 which may explain it. Either way, the questions stand.
