Every year the government takes 1 hour away from every American with the implementation of Daylight savings time. They return the hours to each American in the fall. However, in between March (when the hours are taken) and November (when the hours are returned) over 2 million Americans die, and don’t get their hours returned to them, or their estates. This happens every. single. year.

What is the government doing with all of these stockpiled hours of dead Americans?

I will say more, the same exact team that spends time managing EKS clusters could manage self-managed clusters and have money to spare for additional hires.

Your suggestions is a large expansion of skillset needed for your alternative to the cloud solution. Your own experience in attempting to hire workers should point to the reason thats a bad idea. You’re going to need even higher skilled people, and they are going to ask for significantly more money.

If youtube premium added a feature that filters out AI created slop, it may be worth paying for. I don’t know what happened but the amount of it on youtube now is unbelievable.

Thank you for letting us know about this sad news. RIP PatMan.

One method to approach this is to use a simple personal algorithmically to create answers here. As in, you could put any security question in front of someone that uses this method, even those questions never seen, and the personal algorithm would produce an answer only the user would know. Here are a couple algorithms I made up to show an example for this post.

Input security question (the first from OP’s list): What was the first stock you ever bought?

• Algorithm number one answer: eight - Algorithm: How many words in the security question?
• Algorithm number two answer: sold - Algorithm: Ignore all words except the verb, in this case “bought”. Whatever the verb is, the answer is always the opposite verb.

This way you don’t necessarily have to write down your security question answers. Most certainly never write down your personal algorithm. Using this method it is trivially easy for you (and only you) to produce an answer from any security question given to you and equally easy for you to reproduce the answer when you need it in the future.

All Holdo had to say was “yes, there’s a plan. Not telling you what because of operational secrecy”. Instead she expected Poe to blindly follow orders when he’d already shown he couldn’t do that.

Well, he did fine following orders in the first movie, and then they changed the entire character in the second movie but kept the same name. I have no idea why they did that.

The third is arriving in December.

I have no criticism of the original post. My statement was aimed at Sal’s hyperbolic interpretation and self-projection of those few words.

This take doesn’t belong in Unpopular Opinions.

Eventually they tell me that I have a “Contemplating Poop” face and that they always know if I’m considering taking a dump.

People don’t know that this is what a healthy mature loving relationship looks like. This is the endgame where your chosen life mate knows you so well that in some ways they know you better than yourself. This is likely just one example of subtle hints they know of to judge your mood and your needs. Later it just seems like magic when your partner puts a meal down in front of you, and you just realized you’re so thankful because you’re famished. If you’re doing a loving relationship right, you do this for them too in ways they can’t understand.

Thats why creating transparent pre moderation tools like the image scanners used by many fediverse instances is so important.

Are there any moderation tool projects going on right now one could throw a few bucks at to support it?

Again, I ask: Why are you surprised that literal anti-capitalists hate billionaires?

You’re making authoritative claims to what the Fediverse is, who the people posting here are, and what their collectives beliefs and goals are. The Fediverse certainly isn’t a monolith that you can do that to. Hate isn’t an identity, nor is it the goal of the Fediverse. I think this part of the original closure notice may apply to your line of responses here.

“The worst part is that they’re so caught up in their own self-righteousness that they can’t see they’re just as bad or worse than what they’re spewing violent rhetoric at; trying to talk sense into anyone or de-escalate things is immediately met with “bootlicker”, wild accusations, and/or worse.”

I agree with you. However, I don’t think most people understand that. For most folks they haven’t been exposed to the most mentally darkest souls among us.

but also what did they expect?

Can I ask you what the worst examples of community management looks like? As in, what do you believe would be the worst part of the job?

Read his rant. It just sounds like he’s mad at us for being mean towards the poor wittle billionaires/nazis.

Considering how few references there were in the post, and your projection onto it. I think you may be part of the group he’s talking about that is causing him to close up shop. Its just my speculation though. If I’m right, how does that make you feel? Are you happy he’s closing up the instance and leaving the Fediverse or are you sad that a heavy contributor to the Fediverse is leaving?

For those that follow motorsports, Ginger Spice’s (Geri Halliwell) husband just lost his high profile role as lead of the top rated Red Bull Formula 1 racing team. Yes, she’s married to Christian Horner.

What would ICE need with raw steaks?

Thanks for that context.

The specific “burned out” is a common killer among folks that try this: community management

“Well, two years in, and I cannot say this place is any better, just differently bad if not worse. Too many people here seem to think that because it’s not “corpo social media” that anything goes, and boy do some people really run with that.”

I can’t say I blame them. People can be horrible. Managing a community also means managing the worst of people. I had a former employer that did community management of a dating site. The level of mental trauma the front line workers endured was more than I could imagine. This is also why I completely understand instance admins that follow an aggressive blocking/banning approach. Beehaw put up tall walls and defederated aplenty. Blahaj.zone actively bans based upon user activity that is even on other unrelated instances. I can’t fault either of these approaches because the alternative is dealing with the worst users en masse.

I hope that instance owner/manager gets some of that much deserved rest.

This project has been discontinued and the repo archived. I am done with Lemmy, the Fediverse as a whole, and have no desire to continue developing for the platform or (especially) the demographic thereof.

Wow, what the heck happened? Do we know the dev’s lemmy username for any clues?

A non-optical sensor based solution would require other sensors to calculate the relative position of the solar cooker oriented to Earth as well as calculate the elevation. Your solution is turnkey that you just slap down and it does everything needed without external input beyond solar radiance.

Also, a whole bunch of your approach has many other applications with only very minor tweaks. I like what you did.
