old, stupid

  • the only answer to this question can possibly be 'sometimes'.

    ya gotta be able to 'read the room' as to its acceptability and appropriateness... or stfu

  • woohoo! we're on a roll!

    with mcconnel, thats 2 in a week!

  • havent needed more than one account regardless of number of instances. i kinda thought that was the point of federation. why so many?

  • well, put up or shut up? we are all doin our best for freakin free

    i picked mbin because it was the most broadly connecting platform, but it has its limitations.. especially in the micro blogging arena.

    youre welcome to contribute https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin

  • having used windows long enough to know what the .11 brought you and having gone windows-free for well over a decade i can say i have never, ever thought "i wish i was on windows cuz this would be better/easier/faster/possible"

  • More Supreme Court justices is more spending of taxpayers money.

    fucking hilarious. we spend > 2.5 BILLION per DAY pretending to be the biggest asshole on the planet. a few more justices would amount to 'functionally zero', just like that argument.

  • i duct-tape a 22 to the side of the server with the trigger trip-wired to the wan port.

    your move, iptables

  • Of course, no one should mistake Hannah Montana Linux v26.0 for a mainstream Linux distro meant for production use

    i find this a little insulting

  • my dog wants to know why youre gatekeeping one of his favorite events

  • naw, i dont give a shit. my lifes too short

  • sounds like you need a therapist more than exercise

  • build/obtain a stationary bike.

    i hate sports but ill sit on a bike forever.. great for heart rate, burnin calories.. not really a strength thing though.

    you can even make one out of an old busted bicycle, if youre mechanical at all

  • The team, which included researcher Karthik Raman at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in Chennai, found many bacterial species that resist cleaning chemicals and cling to sterile surfaces by producing sticky films. Many have genes that protect their DNA from radiation damage, while some have genes that help control cell repair under oxidative stress.

    Several bacterial species can form spores, helping them form hard, protective shells to live through harsh treatments.

    just so we are clear... the place where we built a spacecraft to land on another world was cleaned of everything but stuff that would be well-suited for the journey?

    kinda like antibiotic overuse?

  • bots not performing correctly is a different conversation than 'no reposting bots at all'.

    i agree that all bots should be publicly identified and held (moderated) to their purpose and contextual content.

  • this is a regular occurrence.

    theres this idea among some that they absolutely must not be exposed to things they dont like, and this is how they show it.. .they have block lists that are freakin huge with accounts/instances and they whine incessantly about what amounts to absolutely nothing.

    and youre spot on.. this is content being added to a sparse area... content that can be discovered later on by people who join eventually. it hurts no one by existing.

    i have like 7 accounts blocked in 3 years on the 'verse, and they are mostly shitty remote mods

  • wwhaaaat your instance doesnt do that automatically?

    that must suck as you yell at the cloud of multi-platform users

  • you do know that lurkers are some crazy number like 95% of traffic, right?

    im not a fan of equating comment numbers with user views.

    i personally love to see that shit in my new queue.. i dont even have to suffer the subscription in my curated list when i want it excluded.

    honestly, i fail to see whatever detriment you think is happening. worst case, ignore/block/mute what you dont like?
