What does it actually cost? I have no basis for a ballpark guess even. I've seen this question asked to a number of admins and haven't seen a direct answer.

It's hard to judge how sustainable a donation based approach is without that info.

Isn't this a case of take your own advice?

Many instances have already defederated lots of stuff. If you feel strongly about that shouldn't you migrate there over asking other instances to do the same thing? Seems like if he wanted to he would have here by now.

All just feel like fediverse problems and IMO the action should be take ~2 weeks off line and then evaluate there all the shit lands and decide. In thedude's shoes, I would have already pulled the plug on this as way to much hassle to get into the middle of. Props to him for not.

Based on betting sites, I see an estimated 83% chance Zuckerberg wins if they do it.

Seems more likely Musk backs out but I don't see those odds being tracked.

I'm pretty worried we will end up with more of an HOA then a democracy.

Not sure we can get the sort of voting going that will attract more then the local busy bodies.

"I can guarantee you anything you want."

Nay.

All that stuff is basically 0 comment and 0 up vote. It doesn't look like you would end up stumbling in that stuff as trending or whatnot. Unless your subscribed to it or looking to be offended it looks like a non issue. I've yet to see anything from them other then in these complaint threads.

I'm sure there is offensive content everywhere if you really look for it. Even here hence the whole beehaw thing.

I don't think we should defederate to control what other folks expose themselves to. If they were brigading other instances or butting in to be a direct nuisance that would be a different story.

3rd try today trying to submit a reply. Apologies if they're there but I'm I'm just not seeing them

Small kegs aren't practically much bigger then regular 1 gallon jugs. It's right in the family kitchen fridge with all the other food. The co2 cylinder is only needed while carbonating and is otherwise stored in a cabinet. No co2 line is needed while using.

I've been doing that style thing for years and it's great. Have to say I disagree with his process a bit though. I don't have the space or time to let it carbonate for a few days.

I use a 1.5gal keg. Dump an inch or two of ice in the bottom and fill to about 1 gallon with water. My co2 regulator is set at 50psi. Connect co2 and shake for about a minute. You'll hear it stop bubbling. Leave connected on counter for 15 minutes. Light shake every time you feel like it for those minutes. Disconnect the co2 and put the keg in the fridge. Usually I leave it for another 30 minutes or so before having some.

No need to leave the co2 connected to serve with that pressure and space. You can be drinking the seltzer after that first minute if you want but it is better with that extra time. No patience for days.

If both a member of Beehaw and a member of lemmy.world are on a community on a third instance (like midwest.social), our comments and posts are invisible to eachother, like the other isn't there

Is that really how it works? It's contrary to my understanding but I can't find that covered in the documentation.

I assumed that the discussion on a post on a 3rd party server would be served by the 3rd party and I would still see comments from beehaw users on that posts.

I see it reported all over that the voice cast is returning but what about the writing staff?

I've never really thought about how it's done on the older generation parts. On the newest it's etched by laser. We had a generation where it was stick on barcode and that was the worst.

Usually it's the date code.

At my company that code would mean 2019 week 1 (first week of jan). We also do a shift number as a 3rd part.

It's also common for the second number to be months.

It's even funnier/worse then I expected.

Jerboa notices that's a link and makes it click able but clicking it opens my default email client instead of anything lemmy.

Roswell that ends well

That linked reddit thread is accusing the poster of being a karma bot. Does lemmy already have those?

Is such a funny mix of "must be so retro" and "that carpet still looks new

There is a fork of NewPipe which supports sponsorblock. That clips out the segments your talking about. Mainline NewPipe won't support that as an ethical stance so only in the fork.

Cosmic encounter was always my favorite in college. Not popular enough that I can find local people to play now though.

I think the real answer has to be that he gave them real numbers he expected them to pay. They all said wtf no but he promised similar numbers to his investors from the official channels.

People who are doing better then him (profit wise) at his own game bailed when asked for things he promised to deliver.
