Please be direct and stop beating around the Bush.

I’ve only recently branched out from router defaults…only reason was that I wanted to VLAN off my home network, and mostly just so [Home Assistant-controlled] smart devices can’t talk to the Internet at all.

This is a memory that I hold dear with honor and glory.

FTFY

Wild turkeys can fly, too. It’s impressive. I once came around a blind corner on my bike, there was a turkey in the road, and it took off in a manner I can only describe as 747esque — it did not look like it should be able to fly, yet there it was, clearly flying.

It could be fun to implement this under *NIX for fun — cronjob to take screenshots, some OCR, throw it in a database…I’d never want to use this “feature” but as an academic exercise it could be a fun project.

But having it implemented by my OS, and not by me…yikes. No thanks.

HRC has a timeline of Biden’s LGBTQ measures.

Eh, I assume there are a phenomenal number of job descriptions that are just copy-pasted over. Native [language] speaker, 5+ years coding experience in [framework that’s been around for 3 years], etc.

I think these ones are particularly interesting because yeah it’s stupid, but not entirely baseless. Garlic has antibacterial properties, as well as (I think?) antiviral (!), antifungal, and antiprotozoal properties. So it is plausible, and it seems like the reason it doesn’t work is that it’s additionally an irritant, which ends up stimulating mucus production and inflammation, exacerbating the problem.

As a social construct, I like that I can be anywhere in the world and know that around noon is probably an appropriate time for lunch, etc.

It has; but afaik it has been more through incremental improvements rather than huge technological leaps.

I agree.

I think a good example is how Slack started off by having good IRC integration, then slowly added features which were incompatible with IRC, and finally terminated IRC integration.

So clearly, Slack killed IRC, right? (…of course they didn’t!)

I see the potential situation with Threads as similar.

Maybe I’m naive but I kinda don’t get it. People talk about defederating as if…what, all Meta IP addresses will be magically blocked from scraping your content? Any script kiddie can harvest Lemmy/Mastodon/whatever content.

Has Meta shown itself to be a bad actor? Yes. Should my email provider block all emails from Meta? Well…that’s a bit much I think? If Facebook email still existed, should my email provider block that?

My point is yes, Meta bad, but all Thread users also bad? I thought — and apparently I’m very wrong here — that the Federation paradigm was kinda like email. And the only email I want blocked is a domain where every single user is malicious, not a domain run by a malicious entity which has normal people as users, who aren’t necessarily very tech literate.

I don’t actually care, but I just find it a little confusing tbh.

If that is an amanita muscaria, or “fly agaric,” it’s psychoactive and poisonous but rarely deadly. The toxins are water soluble, so if you parboil them sufficiently (and drain the water!), it’s presumably safe.

I have never eaten these, and you should definitely not take mycological advice from strangers on the Internet, which I’m guessing you already knew!

People, maybe. Corporations though? They absolutely contribute:

Oracle, AMD, Google, Intel are all well represented.
