It's useful for sharing links over the phone, in person, or on a powerpoint or whatever, though. Or putting links on a business card. I use one for all of the above.
Ah, I wasn't going to ask. So thanks for answering. :-)
Really? Then why does puke smell so awful? Is it all just stomach acid making it stink like that?
The point when it goes from food to vomit, yeah. I’m not sure when it goes from puke to poop, though. Maybe that happens in the intestines?
Umm no? Have you never vomited? I'm not sure I'd call that "food". I guess, maybe, it's still food after you've finished chewing it; you could spit it out into your hand instead of swallowing, and someone else could choke it down. But it stops being food long before it hits the intestines. At some point when it starts mixing with stomach acid, probably.
I'm surprised nobody hasn't already posted the inevitable: “Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?”
And this is why anything that tries to block AI scraping will always, in every case, block screen readers. It's not a side effect. It's a natural outcome of the design.
So glad you're showing me the path where your code is stored, and the name and username to access the postgresql database. As a user, this does me no good at all. As an attacker, this is the first step I need to hack into the system.
This is a problem with Lemmy on the admin side. I set up retention, and any post here is automatically deleted if it's more than a year old and nobody has interacted with it. But I had to write a lot of custom scripting to handle that, and it still screws up: I was somehow counting profile photos as posts, deciding they got no interaction, then deleting everyone's profile photos. I fixed it, of course, but that isn't something admins should have to handle from scratch, by hand, on every server. No instance owner can afford to store everything, forever, for free, for users. Especially in this market where memory and hard drives are soon going to cost as much as my house. This instance is funded entirely by me, at about $200 per month, located in a Canadian data center. But $200 is a hard cap; I need to find ways to ensure we stay within that monthly amount, or try and raise money from a collection of my fellow blind users, who likely have nothing to spare. This isn't a beg post, just trying to give you insight into the realities of instance hosting. Right now Lemmy expects that all admins are okay with media and database storage that expands for ever and ever, infinitely. Most of us are not. Meaning that if we're technical enough, we can write our own custom solutions to handle it. Or if we're not, our only recourse is banning users to force Lemmy to delete whatever's filling the disc.
I'm a well federated instance, so I guess I could make a contract to sell all the data I get to an AI provider, and that would allow me to afford to store everything forever. But I'm not willing to do that, and I suspect if I tried every other instance would defederate us anyway.
Interestingly, on my instance LiveThreadBot's edits were way behind. I'm an admin, so I could check our incoming queue and see them building up. We're on quite a large server (quad-core, 64 gigs of ram, etc) in a data center with excellent connectivity. So if we were having that problem, I assume a lot of instances were. For sports a backlog of five or six edits that your instance hasn't processed yet just won't work.
Edit: autocorrect
Another problem might be lack of algorithm. No, hear me out! Sure, the Algorithms on big social media lock us all in our little bubbles. But even there, I often have a moment of "Why on earth is that in my recommended?" I personally don't care about e-sports, so I had absolutely no idea it was even happening anywhere on fedi, and would be unlikely to find out unless I went looking. I wonder how many sports enjoyers are on Lemmy, all assuming "Lemmy isn't a sports place", so they never look for sports content, and thus never find any? I enjoy a couple twitch streamers and some VTubers, so occasionally youtube goes "yolo" and throws some kind of e-sports thing my way. I never click it, but I am vaguely aware that DOTA2 is an esports thing that exists and people care about it, and sometimes a big event or tournament or something happens, and I could follow it on YouTube or Twitch if I wanted to. But because Lemmy has no algorithm and I would never subscribe to an e-sports sub myself, I'll just never encounter it here.
PS: I'm not old and out of touch. I'm completely blind and out of touch with esports because it intersects in zero ways with anything I can perceive, participate in, or care about. LOL
Second comment to add an unrelated thought. As big tech platforms crack down harder and harder, the fediverse could easily gain popularity by becoming the home of sports piracy. Just an instance you could visit to find the latest working stream for any given game would attract a lot of folks, I would think. It's just a matter of finding a group willing to take on that amount of risk. However, I'm not sure this gains the fediverse the reputation or audience we want.
