If you're looking at pictures of cats, it's not a big deal. If you're asking for support with a niche operating system, it's nice to know that what you're looking at is the entirety of Lemmy's resources without having to manually check that a new community popped up or federated in. Which is something that's happening a lot as Lemmy gets more popular.

It's sounds like we disagree on the benefits of decentralized communities. And I do understand your thoughts, I just think that the tools for finding content should be more automated to get the full benefit.

Have a good one

This is exactly what I mean. Decentralization requires better tools to bring content to the users. Having to manually search is not going to help lemmy get the critical mass it needs.

Then provide an ability to consent.

My point is that there could be a nearly identical community elsewhere that I would never know about unless the community I'm subscribed to straight up tells me it exists.

Early Lemmy adopters seem to think that being hard to use is a good thing. The algorithm boogeyman isn't going to get you if there's a way to subscribe to baseball@* with a blacklist.

I don't disagree with you, but I think it would be cool if communities could federate too. If I'm subscribed to [email protected], it would be neat if baseball served up posts from all communities that they choose to associate with. Otherwise I would never know that there's a sports-only instance out there that also has a huge baseball following.

Looks like a common snapper to me.

I get a couple hair splinters a week. Having a black lab and thin skin will do that to you haha. I feel your pain

I lived in my parents' basement for a little over a year after college. During that time I had weekly (give or take) dreams that people were coming downstairs to watch me sleep. Often accompanied by sleep paralysis where I wanted them to leave so bad but couldn't do anything. Terrifying stuff. That was 7 years ago and it hasn't happened since I moved out.

They were "declassified" somewhat recently. The title isn't saying that they're related, but that the UFO secrets will be declassified like the JFK ones were.

I put declassified in quotes because I'm pretty sure the JFK documents were heavily redacted still.

I can't even see the video on Liftoff

A business trip down south is where I first heard the term "militant gay agenda" unironically come from Rush's mouth

Not so much anymore but at my last couple jobs I did a lot of PID (actually PI) tuning. It was for chemical control so very slow action. I never really did any math unless I was having a particularly tricky time. Usually I would just tweak the gains manually based on trend data

I'm just looking at this now, supporting a local bookstore is pretty cool
