FINAL UPDATE: I have joined PieFed under the same username I used on Lemmy. Just commented on this post

UPDATE: I checked my mail and there were six verification emails. I clicked the latest one and it seems to have worked. So the email is working, but delayed somewhat.

EDIT: Some details

• The instance I'm trying to join is piefed.social
• The website is the same (https://piefed.social/auth)
• I am using a permanent email (not throwaway)
• I am not using a VPN

I tried to create an account, but my confirmation email isn't coming through no matter how much I click "resend" (and it shows "email sent" but it never seems to reach my mailbox). I checked the spam filter, mobile app, everything.

Is the instance verification down or something?

There is a distinct lack of random functions for vectors, so I decided to add some to the Mouse Potato Utils Plugin.

However, I'm not sure whether I should make the right end of the range inclusive (make it a maximum) or exclusive (like the range() function) when it comes to integer vectors.

I'll make it inclusive for now, but what do you think?

...because you pay for them with your time.

You're better off with paid games, and maybe a Google Play Pass/equivalent (Feel free to recommend some if you find any!)

gotta post this before I break anything with the upgrade :P (it probably won't, but better safe than sorry)

More polarization and division comes from flame wars - burned out people lashing out at each other, encouraged by the algorithms and the social media platform design.

Scrolling social media, keeping up on everything that's happening in the world, and arguing with absolute strangers to no end is good, actually.

Major thanks to Silicon Valley for making this possible.

This group will soon be moving to Reddit.

Scroll for the Scroll God. Attention for the Attention Throne.

1. Do you think the opponent's arguments will help improve your worldview? If so, the argument is useful.

2. Is your opponent open to changing their view, and will your arguments help that? If so, the argument is useful.

3. Is this an effective use of your time reaching other people compared to e.g. posting/commenting your arguments elsewhere? If so, the argument is useful.

Otherwise, the argument is not useful and you should consider doing something else.

Unactionable news burns us out and sometimes causes infighting. We need more simple actionable steps (like online petitions or something, idk).
