Post title works as-is, at least IMO. You can always edit it if you want.

Yes, what you’re describing is what’s called “willful ignorance” here.

“Ignorance” is used to mean simply “lack of knowledge” in most cases in English. It doesn’t carry the negative connotation by itself.

There’s nothing wrong with being ignorant. It just means there’s opportunity for learning.

There’s everything wrong with being willfully ignorant.

Good to know.

I think this just fixes the bug where deleted accounts were invisible to admins. It’s a start but doesn’t fully address the problem. Still, having it federate the content removal is a step in the right direction.

They’ve also been throwing out rage bait in the “YSK” community. But yeah, I definitely agree it’s a problem. So much so that I’ve added some built-in filters for that in Tesseract (client-side) to deal with it. I don’t want to go into the technical details for fear of that jackass trying to counter them, but suffice it to say they’re effective based on their current M.O… I just need to finish this release and get it pushed out as it’s been approaching vaporware status over the last 1-2 months.

I think Piefed is also taking action in either its UI or backend. I don’t recall exactly what, but I saw something mentioned a week or two ago on another post complaining about that self-deleting spammer account.

Yeah, I’ve seen those (though not with the built-in charging; that’s cool). Even had some Ni-Cd ones back in the 90s. The only issue I have with using those in things like smoke detectors is having to deal with them more often. I can usually get about 18-20 months out of an alkaline but a Ni-MH one would probably be only like 8 months since the voltage and capacity are both lower.

Well, scratch that. I just found what I think you’re talking about, and those are 1300 mAh lithium. Those should last longer than an alkaline. Will keep those in mind next time I replace the smoke alarm batteries.

I’ve got mostly EBL-brand batteries and 8-bay charger. They work well but the charger uses micro-USB which is kind of a bummer.

The other set I have are by PowerOwl. They also work great, and the charger (only a 4 bay) is USB-C.

Both brands are the low self-discharge Ni-MH style and can charge any combination of batteries (some chargers require them to be charged in pairs; neither of these have that limitation), so no complaints.

• Rechargable AA / AAA batteries
• Wool socks (can never have enough)
• Good USB-C cables
• Coffee
• Work gloves
• A pack of 9V batteries to shut the beeping smoke detectors up
• Edited to add: A fire extinguisher. People often forget those need maintained every so often.

If anyone wants to be a dull secret santa, hint hint ☝️

Maybe it will, maybe it won’t, but either way: Please, no. One of the most refreshing things was noticing the internet had largely matured from that. I’m all for throwing a wrench in the gears of the AI brains, but there’s a limit.

Gonna start a side hustle of forking open source projects and removing the cringey anime girls.

• Anubus -> Anewbus
• Uguu -> UNew
• Misskey -> Recycle Bin

Pretty much any movie franchise on or after the 3rd film (Transformers, Fast and the Furious, etc). If it’s based on a book series, then the first one after the source material runs out (e.g. Jurassic Park III and later).

Already doing that 😆

It’s one of the rotating banner messages that cycle through feature notes.

I had to google “Ozempic face” because I’ve apparently been living under a rock.

In case anyone else was under a rock…

From Cleveland Clinic:

Generally stick with H264 codec in mp4 container and you’ll be fine. Those are supported by pretty much every browser and most apps.

Uploading to your instance is hit or miss depending on how it’s configured or whether it will accept anything other than images. Most people just upload them to catbox and use the link from there in the posts.

The loneliest number

Eh, gotta break at least one egg to make an omelette (or break the seal on the packaging if you’re using egg substitutes) lol.

Sounds like my idea of curating a social platform devoid of “-ist’s and -ism’s” is doomed to failure then lol

Patrick’s Law: If a comment thread on the internet is more than 7 replies deep, it’s a slap-fight that’s best avoided.

So what if Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, and NodeBB made it so that only the first matching community gets the post?

Not sure about the others, but doesn’t Lemmy do that already (only applies the first matching community)? I’ve been out of the loop for several months, so maybe it changed, but I thought it already did that?

What kind did you get, and do you recommend it?

My washing machine is from 1997 and is old-school mechanical all the way. No issues (yet), but I need to be prepared.
