Fiber arts. SoCal. Social justice. Snark.
This is funny, but not true. The federal government turns off servers and electronics after business hours in accordance with power-saving measures enacted by President Jimmy Carter.
Carter installed solar panels onto the White House in the late 70s, early 80s. Reagan came in and dismantled them.
Someone remind me if Ken Starr is alive or dead…
Tagging @ernest in case instance owners don’t have a larger community in which they share news like this with each other.
Possibly dumb question, but are you u/PoppinKream???
There is a single user who is posting dozens of times a day in my magazine (for which I am a moderator). Another mod on my team has raised the alarm about the user, like surely they’re going through a personal crisis to be so terminally online and posting so frequently.
I’m realizing now they might be a bot. The sources of articles are varied, and quality of article is like 30/70 serious/bullshit. The user occasionally comments on the submissions and I’m realizing the comments are generic rabble rousing instead of being complex language or referencing complex details from the articles shared.
Could anyone speak more to how to identify bot accounts? Many thanks!
Oh good. Millennials are due for another world calamity. We’ve had one plague. Why not a second plague?
What you call recruitment, I call conquest.
Trollish Uber MAGAs just aren’t happy with themselves until they’ve gotten a rise out of someone on the Internet.
Same to all this, except I was really feeling FOMO because my first couple of subscriptions to national and world news was moving content so slowly. I finally started following news communities from Lemmy instances, and I’m finally feeling all those great small reddit community feelies.
One of my good friends uses reddit for sex hookups, and I just can’t see something like that community taking up residence in the Fediverse unless it would be a very isolated instance that recruits only by word of mouth.
Have a problem with it? Take it up with the union, bub.
I am aware that this has been covered, but I have to maintain the belief that much like the US Postal Service, the federal government will continue to foot the bill regardless.
I use an app on my Windows 11 laptop called PhoneLink. It gives me a UX for calling up specific apps on my phone and displays on the laptop screen. It connects through Bluetooth.
I saw an ADHD influencer recommend wearing ear plugs in public to block out environmental noise to keep conversation directed at you still audible.
I get distracted in public when my ears pick up conversation around me - especially people who are fighting or gossiping and I find it very entertaining compared to the discussion I’m in - so this is something I’d like to try the next time I have a dinner out at a busy restaurant with others.
Editing to add: I just listened to about a minute of the femtanyl song you linked and I realized that I also get in the zone productive with some types of music in which I can’t understand the lyrics. I listen to a Pandora station built around Sigur Ros because I can’t understand the language lol
