fizzle

Can’t they use “war” as an excuse to suspend elections ?

Yeah I’ve been using wireguard for a long time myself personally, and more recently for a small team to access an intranet.

I’m a big fan. After a half hour or so trying to understand configs it’s pretty manageable.

For most of human history people who couldn’t do math, or read, or understand a map, have been communicating directions to each other.

4 directions is just enough to tell someone which way to face, without being too many to remember.

This. A cast iron pan just stores so much more heat than anything else. IDK the sciency chef-talk but if you like meat to look crusty and golden on the outside but tender on the inside then this is the way.

I basically just completely disregard any bullshit “seasoning” advice, and I’ve never had any rust or whatever. I don’t scrub it with steel wool or whatever but I don’t scrub anything with that. Sometimes I put a few cm of water in it and let that boil off any crusted on whatever.

Sorry, this is baseless supposition.

WDYM that’s not how the law works? All laws are a statement of societal expectations.

it doesn’t empower parents to do anything

Of course it does. Obviously, it’s much easier to tell your kids they’re not allowed to use facebook if most of their friends aren’t using facebook.

It only applies to sites hosted by companies or people with a presence in Australia

So you mean, the vast majority of platforms on which children congregate?

Not really.

This law draws a line in the sand indicating societal expectations.

It empowers parents to set and maintain appropriate boundaries without being influenced by what other parents allow their kids to do. Its a lot easier to maintain a “no social media” rule if other parents are doing the same.

Also I dont really have any faith at all in the young teenagers of today being able to circumvent anything. Sure. A few will… but certainly not most or even a significant portion.

If you cant install it from the app store then its out of reach.

That’s not what’s been proposed.

network effect. There’s fewer people here so there’s fewer people here.

That said, I like it just how it is and would caution anyone against wishing for more users.

Don’t focus on getting more users. Focus on making the content here the best it can be.

It’s inevitable that the quality of the experience here will change with more users. Whether it’s a net positive or negative remains to be seen.

To be sure, these are the “good old days” of lemmy.

other platforms are bringing in age verification.

Will be interesting to see how this pans out for lemmy.

You’re right there will be a movement away from the larger platforms. I don’t think it will be a movement to lemmy though.

She’ll find a way to bribe Trump

You mean like… tell him she will spill the details about the redacted stuff in the released documents?

challenges with focus and self-control

This seems to be what teachers are reporting.

There’s some threads in /r/teachers on that other site which are pretty terrifying. It sounds like the majority of kids are in dopamine withdrawal all day at school.

You seem to have misunderstood me.

Yeah but surely… surely not.

Maybe the blocked doors are just window shutters ? who knows.

Those masks sure are creepy.

Edit:

Actually from the dropbox folder that @pelespirit@sh.itjust.works shared there’s this photo:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/e7n5g4wz0cjngv9u9qys2/AHNOf8vcSNtejTpIcQGaICs?dl=0&e=2&preview=IMG_5373S.pdf&rlkey=c8fds6c4a8t6zwoiglx4c7kt3&st=16dpmuw0

The pitch of the roof and the position of the doors makes it look like the outside of the room with the night stands in-front of the doors. It looks like they could be used as a kind of pavillion during outdoor events, like a place to serve snacks and drinks.

I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions about the steel bars blocking those doors from the outside. You can see them horizontally across the two doors on the left, and there’s one propped against the wall next to the door on the right.

Honestly, I think if they had rooms in which to detain people against their will it wouldn’t be like this, but IDK.

Well yeah but just because “they” no longer say that doesn’t mean it isn’t true, nor does it mean that short form video doesn’t “rot your brain”.

As in all things, moderation is key.

If you let your kids watch this trash for hours a day they’re going to be imbeciles.

Sorry Americans, I usually try not to point out the absurdity of your politics just because I don’t want to be an ass but having a president name some kind of investment account for kids after himself is some real next level stuff.

Sure ok everyone here is fine but a large portion of Americans think that this is entirely appropriate.

I’ve been trying to get zulip working.

Sounds like it addresses your requirements.

Seems to be a real bitch to self host - I’ve been doing this a while but the compose yaml is pretty arcane with hundreds of environment variables.

I didn’t “give up” exactly but it’s been on the back burner for a month or so now.

I don’t really have this conversation with people.

This stuff is important to me, it’s not really accessible to people without lots of time and the same interest.
