Compared to other national and international chains, I’ll pick Dominos. Here in Vancouver there are just so many local pizza shops and smaller chains to choose from, even the cheaper/quantity over quality chains taste better than both Pizza Hut and Domino’s (I’m thinking Freshslice for the Western Canadians in the room). Even corporate pizza events here don’t go with Domino’s, which was the go to when I was elsewhere.

Congratulations! 1 more country to beat the threshold requirement (after the Netherlands whose threshold seems will be crossed imminently). France and Ireland seem like solid contenders.

This is what mods are meant for… to bring a beautiful setting and game engine to its limits beyond what story and gameplay could be crammed in at release.

They can do what they want, but if they want my contribution, they play by our rules.

Free, public API to support 3rd party readers. None of this paid API extortion, ads, super upvote monetization nonsense. AI generated stupid discussion communities I will block on sight.

More vibrant and active niche communities I will be happy to receive but I do like things as they stand too.

Revoke, invalidate, rotate, blacklist, do whatever to make the key/information not usable for that system anymore. It’s an “exploit” (but more a defining feature of git) to record everything because each link is dependent on the last thing and even old branches can be brought back and searched through.

Bem-vindo ao Mastodon!

Quirky is definitely the best fit, if you are worried about an ambiguous context using a descriptor.

Still, don’t discard weird as a word altogether like a slur so quickly. “Keep Portland Weird”, “Weird Al Yankovic”, still describes stuff that are a little unusual but cool to be around, and the fact that this word comes up in the context of US politics shouldn’t remove one of the word’s many meanings.

A guy at a bar who always shows up with round sunglasses and a tie dye shirt, ordering a glass of milk is the cool kind of weird. A guy who spends all their time talking about themselves are the annoying antisocial kind of weird. Someone who sits next to a washroom staring at the ass of every person going in and out of it is the creep kind of weird.

Unrelated to your main question: you can try !fragfeddit@feddit.org or !fragfeddit@feddit.de, and ensure you set language to Deutsch.

He’s a YouTube personality who makes clickbait videos, does random stunts using millions of dollars at a time, and now has a candy bar offering.

If there is a Mr. Beast thumbnail that catches your interest, usually the last 2 minutes of the video has anything worth watching. The rest is fluff and sponsorships and BS worse than reality-TV.

I can help answer this for you. Yes you have power tripping mods on a small handful of servers or communities, but this is where the solution comes in. If you feel it’s not justified, you can join another server that fits your vibe better, or create a community on another server. !risa@startrek.website to !tenforward@lemmy.world is one of the biggest examples of a mass community migration.

New Outlook is a pile of shit compared to the desktop Outlook app. It’s been causing a lot of headaches for my coworkers. Microsoft had better port near every single feature over to the newapp before they force everyone on it.

Depends on the time of year, and the species.

If it’s fucking season (spring time), and a bird like a red-winged blackbird (their sound is like okra-chee-chee-chee), I’ve had them keep flying in my face until I leave their area.

A smart bird like a crow during not-fucking season could be trying to tell you something. Especially if you are known to the murder as a nice person.

How big the front side screen was and if it was a colour display? Unless you liked the look of phone that only had LEDs showing the time on the front.

What ringtones it had (remember this was the age of $1.99 ringtones).

Speed/specs wasn’t too much of a factor as much as looks. As long as it made calls, did texts, play Snake and if you could afford cellular data then receive emails and do light websurfing then it was good enough.

Oh, and in this age the smaller and more compact the phones were the better. Only with smartphones did the trend go into reverse.

In Canada, external hard drives of 8-20TB capacity show up every now and then for a rate of C$20/TB (US$14.50) so it won’t take more than 3 months to offset that cost. As a backup, online s3 storage might be reasonable.

Right now I just play with things at a level that I don’t care if they pop out of existence tomorrow.

If you want to be truly safe (at an individual level, not an institutional level where there’s someone with an interest in fucking your stuff up), you need to make sure things are recoverable unless 3 completely separate things go wrong at the same time (an outage at a remote data centre, your server fails and your local backup fails). Very unlikely for all 3 to happen simultaneously, but 1 is likely to fail and 2 is forseeable, so you can fix it before the 3rd also fails.

Security by Obscurity = FBI backdoor, almost guaranteed.

The Lemmy.ca survey in the new year showed similar observations.

Not sure if it’s just the thread format (perhaps mastodon and misskey have a less skewed share), the fact it’s an anonymous platform, or the other factors you talked about.

How to get more diversity? Idk tbh, definitely we should ask people from minority groups for more ideas.

Only thing I can think of: certain communities could transplant themselves over that discuss topics that you don’t currently see much around here that would draw broader interest from other groups.

Woohoo! Always great to read a success story!
