Once they get so crusty they can stand on their own. That’s about 8 hours in shoes, or a week next to the bed.

It’s under Settings -> Blocks -> then down at the bottom is the block instances option.

You can on instances running .19 or newer. Settings -> Blocks -> then at the bottom is an option for blocking instances.

That used to be my go-to method but I found it works less and less. Places know the gmail tricks and auto-strip them out of the address.

Started using Proton’s Hide-my-email and never going back. It’s time to move away from google anyways.

The free version of Proton Pass is a decent option.

Seconding ThinkPad. Excellent linux support as well.

I’ve always felt being on the fediverse was antithetical to Beehaw’s mission. It wants to bee a kind, safe place for disenfranchised users, but it feels like less of a tight knit community when it is federated.

The best example I can think of is like a high-school club/group. Being on the fediverse is like your group claiming a table in a crowded lunch room. Yes you’ve got your group together where you can talk amongst yourselves, but everything you say can be heard by everyone else in the room and likewise their conversations are going to butt in whether you like it or not. An unfederated or semi-private forum is more like getting an unused classroom for your group to meet in. It’s still open for anyone to join as long as they don’t create trouble, but having your own room makes the conversation feel more personal/intimate and people are more likely to open up about personal stuff they wouldn’t want to yell out in the lunch room.

Probably a poor analogy, and I may be misunderstanding their goal, but that’s my 2 cents.

Clutch - Power Player has been stuck in my head since last night for reasons unbeknownst to me. Now it can be in yours.

Is blocking instances going to make it into .19?

Edit: Heck yeah! I’ll toss a donation for that.

Nay. Only good for fertilizer.

Using it for trials? No. Using it to skirt taxes? Doubtful, but possible. If you stiff the state $6 on an x-box game, noones going to notice. Short them a couple thousand and they might.

I mostly use privacy.com for trials that I don’t want to have to worry about cancelling later. It’s also handy that privacy.com cards will allow you to put whatever you want as your billing address (for example, purchasing digital goods and setting your location to one that doesn’t have sales tax).

Consent is one of the harder things to teach cats.

I leash/harness train mine. It’s nice to be able to mostly walk them around outside like dogs. Also I train them to ride on my shoulders for transportation. That way when they get too lazy to walk back to the house or I need to carry them around for any other reason I can just plop them on my shoulders and they will ride there, keeping my hands free. My neighbors probably think I’m crazy.

u/VegaLyrae’s suggestions are all excellent.

bout 10 years ago, the norm was to, from time to time, drain lithium batteries to minimum and so do a full cycle, this is something my father told me but I actually don’t know the reasoning.

Early rechargeable batteries such as nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal-hydride would develop “memory”. For example if you made a habit of always recharging the batteries once they hit 50%, the battery would think “I guess they don’t need the rest of the capacity, I’ll throw it in the trash” and you ended up with a battery with half it’s original capacity. So it became good practice to occasionally discharge them completely before recharging. Sort of a ‘use it or lose it’ scenario. Now lithium batteries do not have this issue but it took people a long time to break the habit.

I think they mean like a gallon of gasoline burned in a car does less environmental damage than the same gallon of gasoline just released into the environment.

Not saying it is or isn’t, just how I took it.

I think “Who is still using them?” is a better question.

I don’t think most people mind curated reposts at all. No one wants to see every reddit post copied over en masse. Well, I guess a some do, but they suck, as is covered in the post title.
