The better question is, how does it get in his mouse??

How do people use robot vaccuums with 3 floors? And closed doors? Do you need like 6 of em?

After ordering something I somehow got prime, no idea how. Must have accidentally pressed something. So sneaky.

Luckily I didn't have saved payment options on my account. But then, without verified payment options, you can't cancel prime! It's the perfect (p/c)rime.

Everyone is already datamining the fediverse. That's the whole point of it, all the data is public.

On lemmy (and mastodon, kbin, etc) it seems like it's extremely easy for a third party company to datamine everyone's data, even deleted ones. Federated software is terrible for privacy because it creates hundreds of backups to the federated instances. Any one of those instances can decide not to actually delete anything when requested.

It kinda baffles me that people would set their mirrors where >10% is their own car. What do they think the point of their mirrors is?

What is something that has really changed?

Yeah the app is updated very often, but it's not always necessary to actually update. But once every 3 to 6 months or so you need to, to keep it from functioning with googles servers.

I feel like there should be a lemmy aggregator.

Let's say you go to lemmy.com/c/tech. There you'll find all posts of beehaw, lemmy.world, lemmy.ml etc. You can't actually make an lemmy.com account or post on lemmy.com itself (it's not an actual instance), but you can read all posts (maybe curated for select instances/blacklisted).

You should be able to make an account via lemmy.com, but via an instance of your choosing and it will redirect you to the register page (or preferably created on lemmy.com via api to the selected instance). Then you can log in with username@instance and the authentication goes via the selected instance. Then created posts on lemmy.com will be automatically archived in the right instance.

Only in this way lemmy will ever hit mainstream. The average person just will not use federated software. Not necessarily because they don't want to, but if they have to even read the word 'server' they'll look for something else. SEO/search engine wise it will also be much better. Let the instances be the backend while there is a central frontend.

Which instances will be displayed on the frontend can be chosen democratically. This also helps avoid echo chambers. And people who still want to only see their own ideology or so can still go to their specific instance.

I wish that one day I'm as comfy as cats always seem to be.

Updated every hour

Last date 14th June. Hmm

Still good to see though. I hope a significant number stays.
