Drew, shut the fuck up. Stick to criticising atrocities by the Chinese government. You were good at that.

Why the fuck are you talking about New York to begin with? It’s the opposite side of the fucking world.

I’m guessing it was working when you tried it 2 months ago? Is it still working for you?

Oh right. No, it doesn’t work that way in my experience. I’ve seen Mastodon users post to Lemmy Communities by @ mentioning them, and Mastodon users replying to posts. It often looks weird because replies have an @ mention (or multiple, in the case of replies to replies), but everything shows up in Lemmy how you’d want it to.

Plausible deniability went out the window in 2018 when he called people paedophiles because he’s a projecting prick.

This wanktank wasn’t on the market in 2018.

You joke, but it looks like they actually did manage to regain their domain. Not sure how.

Eh, Lemmy is way more mature as a platform than PixelFed is, and he mentioned that.

I think the explanation being in relation to what it’s intended to replace is more likely. He doesn’t care as much about getting people off Reddit as he cares about getting people off Zuck and Musk’s platforms.

Why yikes? The scenario you described is literally the same as 50,000 users signing up to Lemmy to post in a Lemmy Community.

LW definitely can’t handle more traffic than it already has. It already (thanks to the admins’ refusal to update to the latest version of Lemmy, which fixes this issue) takes multiple days for LW content to get federated to other instances properly, which is why I’ve had to switch over to this alt account of mine because there are zero comments on this post in my main instance. With more users, that delay would grow from days to potentially weeks.

Sorry for the late reply, I don’t use this account very often.

But by “it”, I meant “entering characters using the HTML entity code”. But I can see how my comment could have been interpreted to mean the nbsp itself.

On platforms that support it (Reddit definitely did, and I suspect Lemmy will), you can enter the nonbreaking space with  . 0 mg.

The law would probably make sure customers whose products are being bricked are counted as creditors. Ideally after employees (unpaid wages) and before investors. They may not get full refunds, but they’ll be entitled to something if it’s possible.

I like that in Fahrenheit 0 is a cold winter’s day, and 100 is a hot summer’s day.

Fahrenheit fans always say stuff like this, but it just doesn’t work. 100 isn’t too bad in that respect, but 0 is just insane. If you want it to be equivalent, 0 °F would be 0 °C. Because there’s no way that -18 °C is as cold as 38 °C is hot.

Besides that, knowing about things like snow or ice outside, whether your fridge is likely to cause some stuff to frost over, etc., or whether the thing you’re cooking has reached boiling point are all just as valid things for your day-to-day experience.

But besides all that, SI is a package deal. You use Fahrenheit and now you’ve got to redefine all the other units that are derived from the Kelvin, because now you’re suddenly using Rankine.

The definition that legally applies for 1st degree murder is a lot more strict than people usually think.

Here’s a partial summary:

A more complete summary of the law is given in this video around 8:49.

Oh man, we had DC++ semi-officially endorsed by the inter-college IT department at my university in 2013/14. It was fantastic, especially since in my first year we only got 5 GB of data per month (with a large number of unmetered sites, including anything from Google), so without the unmetered file intranet it’d have been really hard to manage. Unfortunately as they increased the data caps it killed the popularity of DC++, which ended up getting killed off not long after I left.

Sorry I should have been clearer. I was just asking if you’re using mouse and keyboard or a console-type controller. And if it’s the console controller, does the Steam version of the game give you the same UX that the game gives Xbox users with its radial UI?

Good to know! What input scheme do you use on that?

I appreciate it, and if I ever do get around to doing something about aoe2 or aoe4 I may use that instance, or if I see someone else express interest in creating game-related communities I’ll recommend they head in your direction. But for now I’ve already created it on this instance, and don’t see the benefits as being strong enough to outweigh that.

they’ve created a direct link to the community on lemm.ee and named that link !aom@lemm.ee, rather than just typing !aom@lemm.ee

I just used the autocomplete built into Lemmy after typing !aom. It works just fine. If I click it on this account it takes me to https://lemm.ee/c/aom, if I click it on my main account it takes me to https://aussie.zone/c/aom@lemm.ee. Which is the desired behaviour.

I don’t think the hobby drama subreddit back on the old site required the drama to be on-site. You could post about the time WotC tried to revoke their OGL, or when Hans Niemann allegedly used an anal vibrator to cheat at chess, or things like that.

Wow I wish Clem Jones hadn’t come along and ruined our tram network. Apparently Brisbane would today have the 3rd largest tram network in the world if we’d kept it going at its peak: no additional new track laid. Instead he ripped it up and we have not one metre left, except when you occasionally see bits of it buried when they do road works…like when they expanded Gympie Rd from 6 to 8 lanes over the last year or so. Sigh.

As for hop-on trams, obviously not very accessible. If they had the ability to stop and put down a ramp for people who need it, it could be manageable, but realistically if we’d kept the track, they’d have needed to lower the floor of the trams and raise up the platforms to make for level (or at least near-level) boarding.
