It has basically the same limitations that lemmy-mastodon has. Pixelfed users can follow lemmy communities to see posts in their timelines. They can see top level comments as replies and can also reply to create top level comments. Lemmy users can’t follow pixelfed accounts in any way.

It is sort of important to know if you do or do not have children on your service.

“non-fascist conservatives” have spent the last 40 years obstructing and cozying up to fascists rather than play well with others. They knew what they were doing.

Primes are actually useful…

Really just slid that one in there…

Yes it is, federation work is ongoing. I think stars are in beta.

Will that be before or after the metaverse arrives?

Jennings was already in the back of a patrol car by the time Roberson, the white woman who called police, emerged. Jennings, she told officers, was a neighbor and a friend of the home’s owner, Roy Milam.

“OK. Does he have permission here to be watering flowers?” Smith asked.

“He may, because they are friends,” she replied. “They went out of town today. He may be watering their flowers. It would be completely normal.”

Milam told the AP that was exactly what happened: He’d asked Jennings to water his wife’s flowers while they were camping in the Tennessee mountains for a few days.

Watering flowers wasn’t the problem, Smith told Roberson. The issue, he said, was Jennings’ refusal to provide identification after acting “suspicious.”

Realizing that she’d called police because one neighbor was watering another’s flowers, Roberson said: “This is probably my fault.”

A few moments later, officers told Roberson that a license plate check showed the gold sport utility vehicle that prompted her call in the first place belonged to Milam. They got Jennings out of the patrol car and he told them his first and last name.

“I didn’t know it was him,” Roberson told police. “I’m sorry about that.”

Nope, racist neighbors and racist cops

Yes he sent a damn signed contract.

Because people need stable incomes and healthcare, so they start applying for jobs and get them. People aren’t quitting to be unemployed.

I tried for a while fighting in my local facebook groups, but it just served to make me mad and didn’t put a dent in the constant barrage of nonsense. I started blocking them all and finally just stopped using facebook entirely.

It’s sad since those are really the only online groups for my town. I just have no interest in engaging in the local community now.

Pronouns are extremely relevant in formal communication. People do their best to infer them from names but that’s not always easy or even possible.

In my town the school board weirdo lost by 2 votes. It’s so important to vote in local elections.

This is legal vs rude. It certainly is legal and was in the terms of service for them to use the data in any way they see fit. But, also it’s rude to bait and switch from being a message board to being an AI data source company. Users we led to believe they were entering into an agreement with one type of company and are now in an agreement with a totally different one.

You can smugly tell people they shouldn’t have made that decision 15 years ago when they started, but a little empathy is also cool.

Additionally: When you owe your entire existence and value to user goodwill it might not be a great idea to be rude to them.

I believe the effect is entirely topical, it just doesn’t hurt to ingest a little too. The fluoride ions trigger re-hardening of the tooth enamel and can take the place of missing calcium in the outer enamel structure, but those only happen when they hit the outer enamel in your mouth, you don’t regrow enamel on fully formed teeth

I can only really speak to reddit, but I think this applies to all of the user generated content websites. The original premise, that everyone agreed to, was the site provides a space and some tools and users provide content to fill it. As information gets added, it becomes a valuable resource for everyone. Ads and other revenue streams become a necessary evil in all this, but overall directly support the core use case.

Now that content is being packaged into large language models to be either put behind a paywall or packed into other non-freely available services. Since they no longer seem interested in supporting the model we all agreed on, I see no reason to continue adding value and since they provided tools to remove content I may as well use them.

Or European websites will suddenly be the only ones worth visiting because they aren’t buried under mountains of LLM garbage text.

1. If the world had opted out of the ICE early, maybe we wouldn’t be in quite the global warming situation we’re in.

2. LLMs are still a novelty product that can barely perform their novelty. Comparing them to the wildly useful and game changing ICE is not terribly accurate.

Prostetics have gotten extremely advanced in the last 20 years. People are controlling and getting real feedback from replacement limbs.
