It’s a shame you cannot see bacteria with naked eye!

You’d need some kind of a bacteria alarm system!

Cool!

Ideonella sakaiensis would be the name of the bacteria.

Buying a (premium) service to get rid of something awful requires effort and resources.
Do you have the money? Do you get enough kicks out of the money you would be spending? Do you know the pros and cons of subscribing/going in a service (what will they provide for the money spent?)? Do you want to support the service - even so far to provide them money? You need to provide additional data of yourself to make the purchase and may even need to learn how to do it - are you ready for that?

Getting an (ad-blocking) extension to a browser to get rid of something awful requires effort and resources.
Do you know how to start using extensions in browsers and what to do if you need to troubleshoot them? Is it free (are paid extensions even a thing? I don’t recall seeing one)? Can you support someone you would want to support with a ad-blocker (some decent folks who make good content may be in need of the money they get from ads, but then again, there’s a chance you can send them money through other means)? Are you supporting a service that has an built-in feature that annoys you (in this case, providing ads for the users to see), endorsing such behavior (even more) even though you cannot see those ads yourself?

Both options may require research. Both options are influenced by other people and by their opinions. Both options have their pros and cons. Both options have consequences.

.

I don’t buy any subscriptions. I wouldn’t have the money for that and I have bad experiences of them.
I can support someone with a grateful comment or sharing their content to others.
I myself stick with the ad-blocking services.

But don’t let me influence you with what/how I do it 😉 Make up yer own mind and act accordingly.

There’s someone for everybody. Sometimes you need to look hard and long, sometimes it takes a chance to just walk on you by surprise. A good attitude and an open mind helps a lot in this stuff. It took maybe 200-400 different dating profiles for me to go through before I got lucky myself. Been happily with her for more than a year now.

I would probably think about the things I enjoy doing by myself. Then, little by little, trying to add space for that someone to do that same thing with you. Then learning, what hobby/activity works OK, fine or even very well while socializing with someone and what doesn’t, and how much time you can actually give for someone before you get (close to) exhausting yourself. And forgetting to keep in touch through messages cos that’s not gonna work out for you but rather giving a call to that someone when you feel like meeting up, face to face.

Then it’s down to more experimenting, of what you can do, they can do, you together, how often, and if you guys become something bigger, then delve into that matter slowly. Talking is the key here, so both get chances to learn something out of yourself and the other.

I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to go too far out of your comfort zone. I believe that little steps just out of that circle can train you and teach you something valuable, and going too far just gets you burned or broken down, needing lots of time to regain your energy. Choose your own pace, choose ways to try out new things and explain to that someone, how your brain works so they can decide, is it worth it to start with you. If it’s not, keep trying until someone thinks it is.

I think that anyone who wants to contribute somehow in a positive way to their society, environment or country, should get enough money to have their basic needs fulfilled. Being it full-time or part-time work, volunteering or just helping out random people from time to time (pick trash alone somewhere and stuff).

I don’t approve ending people’s lives because they create harm to others. Of course it’s a whole different thing when you compare a feared dictator who hates humankind versus someone who spends all their time trolling people out of their minds in the Internet just because of the lulz. But I don’t know, what would be a good solution in these or any other cases.

I don’t know how long it stays edible 😅

And eventually you’d be crushed by the growing gravitational pull of this chocolate ball!

As you add more, would it’s own gravity cause the density to increase to a point where it would collapse into a black hole?

I believe so!

I assume chocolate is made of lighter elements than iron so yeah, a big chocolate ball enough would become a star!

I believe anything lower from iron will make a star, when enough material added. Of course, one material from iron will give a much smaller lifespan for a star rather than hydrogen only.

I think that an iron ball wouldn’t start a fusion. Might just jump right to a black hole if you added even more iron 🤔

Yup…no matter how good a tool is, if there are no users to it, it might be as good as it never existed (unless if someone takes ideas from said tool and implements them to a user service, growing their quality, which is still better than nothing). Sad but true.

A responsibility to look after if they are made. Not a responsibility to make them though.

I don’t know myself. I just heard about it. Haven’t studied it at all.

It seems that this decentralized style starts to be a new trend?

First this Fediverse/Lemmy I heard about. Then The Matrix (messaging platform). And now these Mastodon & WreMin.

Well, if that prevents or slows down the corrupted law of enshittification, then I’m approving it!

Some folks enjoy reading articles. Some folks enjoy to watch, listen and read (captions) at the same time. Some folks rather ask around and learn through conversations.

I’ve understood that it’s generally easier to learn new things when you use many different channels (audio, imagery etc). To many people but not to all.

Would it be a good idea to make a community moderation meeting where every mod must be present and agreeing on common rules of moderation? (I don’t know if they already do this - I don’t know anything about moderating this place)

I’ve watched the Imitation game. Cool movie!

It wasn’t my point or intention to delve deeper into this matter. The Pigpen Cypher has been enough for me and I use it casually for fun. I’m no professional at any rate to this topic and I don’t look into studying encryption 🙂

Well, if that’s the case and this stuff is too old, I’m happy to have provided one puzzle of this kind to that community and I can leave it at that 😄

How often should I post these?

Made me think about the old silent movies!

I’ll try my luck over General Programming Discussion@lemmy.ml 😊

• If I created a community, would I become it’s (lone) moderator automatically?
• What consequences, requirements and things would I need to keep in mind as a moderator?
• Is it advisable to copy-paste content from Reddit to kickstart new communities (given that the link source to the original content was added as well when making new posts)?
