Not being able to participate anywhere on Lemmy merely because my home instance was down didn’t feed very federated :(
Is there anything I can do to guard against that issue in the future? Is there a way to mirror an account between two instances or something?
Anyway, big props to the slrpnk admins for getting the instance back online quicker than expected. Your hard work is definitely not unappreciated or unnoticed.
Any recommendations for additions to the arsenal?
Firefox with the EFF Privacy Badger extension.
That is all.
I’m a middle-aged cyclist (though I got into it around 20) who eschews lycra. I hate the look, the fit, and the feel. I bike in vans slip-on, running shorts, and t-shirts. At most I’ll wear chamois under the shorts. No clips for me either, flats with the peg screws forever. 90% road cyclist btw, very little mountain biking. Oh and no fitness tracker / GPS as of a few years ago. I just need as little friction as possible between being not on the bike and being on the bike. For me it translates to more fun and many more miles. These days some would call my style “xbiking”.
I was struggling to explain the plot of this one to my gf just the other day. Had to pull out screenshots of the TV movie to make it make sense.
OK but why is there a vagina in a petri dish
The kids have heard that one, it’s the credits song on season 1 of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures.
I’m a daily cyclist and I think I’d be terrified to bike through a full roundabout. They’re absolutely marvelous designs for throughput that doesn’t require complex signal automation, but the flip side of that is they’re pretty hostile if you’re not a motor vehicle. Any truly good roundabout design should include pedestrian and cycle paths along the periphery that have priority when crossing the circles entrances.
Because it is. The PKK has [now had] promoted democratic confederalism for over a decade, an anarchism-adjacent governance model.
I have a genetics researcher in the family that brews beer as a hobby, who would have a field day replying to this comment! Unfortunately I posses knowledge of neither but I feel like the answer would not be simple or straight-forward.
Do any beer breweries genetically engineer their yeast? Honest question. I was gonna use that question to counter you but then I realized I wouldn’t be surprised if some already do, and IMO that would be pretty cool!
No, anarcho capitalist is more accurate. Libertarian is strictly synonymous with anarcho capitalists only in the USA, and only since the 1950s when Murray Rothbard colonized it’s actual definition, a synonym for anarchist communism. The word was first coined by French socialist newspapers during a period when writing about “anarchism” explicitly in print was banned, and merely using a different term got around the law.
I’m a libertarian socialist, and that shouldn’t be an edgy thing to say just because some mentally stunted hubristic capitalists want to believe they don’t require the violence of the state to enforce private property.
And why were they homeless?
Why were they homeless???
Gates was born in 1955 though… Spooky music
I think it’s a silly to waste one’s time struggling over deciding which one is worse. They’re both billionaires who spend hundreds of millions of dollars undermining the public interest. Gates just cares more about his PR than Musk.

That’s how I got through it. Reminded myself that in a volenteer-based mutual aid society, 99.999% uptime garauntees aren’t a thing and that would be good because it would apply to my work as well. Services go down, and as you shouldn’t be addicted or otherwise dependant on such services, you can do something else with your time.
