Because most people switching don’t know (or care) about the fediverse and decentralization. They are regular internet users who just want to get away from the cesspool that is twitter, so they go where other people are going.

Nice. Do it with fried rice as well.

The post about Stephen King moving to Threads says otherwise. But to be fair, it’s Threads and not Bluesky, which people here hate more.

Not really. I mean, sure it’s the same concept, but email has been getting semi-centralized between the big players now, with gmail and maybe icloud getting the largest chunk of users. That would be similar to letting users choose between .world or .ml to sign up with, which is against the fediverse principle to spread the load as wide as possible.

When you present the lowest common denominator internet user with hundreds of instances to choose from and requiring them to think further than clicking through a sign-up page, you lose user interest pretty quickly.

Use induction or electric stoves. They don’t have a visible fire so that might help with your worry of starting one. But remember it can still happen of course, it just helps that you’re not seeing an actual fire while cooking. Like others said, you can also use other electric cookware like an airfryer, griddle, etc. Just make it a habit to be always present and not forget that you’re cooking something and you’ll avoid most burning/fire accidents.

The US is the most litigious country in the world. They’re likely making sure all bases are covered just in case.

Nice! I saw the news about this earlier today and it’s cool to see it in action.

You practice minimalism because of the aesthetic and lack of clutter.

I practice minimalism because I don’t have money.

We are not the same.

The movie Interstellar supposedly had physicist consultants to try to get the depictions of space stuff as accurate as possible, in particular the blackhole. Not sure if the wormhole is the same, since we have no actual scientific data or evidence of one. So that’s probably the best guess they could make.

The only correct answer:

Edit: This guy too:

It’s in the name. It’s fast. You order at a drive-thru and you’re on your way in a couple of minutes. I agree though that prices are insane now and doesn’t justify the quality. I’d rather go to an asian restaurant for their lunch specials and get more for my buck.

Since you’re absolutely sure it’s an unauthorized charge, file a chargeback with C1. The worst that can happen is the restaurant blacklists you, which isn’t too bad since you wouldn’t want to go back to an establishment that charges random tips without your knowledge. Also, it’s not like a big business like an airline or something where getting blacklisted can be a pain.

The catholic church has been bleeding members for a while now. This is probably a “fellow kids” attempt to try to get younger people interested again.

I’m more concerned about scalability. Hosting video gets expensive pretty quickly once people start signing up and using it.

From hacker stock photos to now weird AI generated thumbnails.

Wow, I respect the effort. The hands on the wall are a nice touch. It looks like you have a great time with these setups. Nice work!

My wife opened the door to hand out candy wearing a plague doctor mask. The kids weren’t scared unfortunately, but at least surprised.

I’m an Asian size Medium. American sizing puts me in an awkward middle of S and M. US Small fits best on my shoulders and arms, but the torso is too tight. On the other hand, US Medium fits well on my torso, but the shoulders are too wide and the sleeves too large.

Did you have to do any special configuration, or was it a seamless installation just like a non-mac laptop?

Drink water and walk around your living room. Stay hydrated and get a little exercise in. I also sometimes play mini crosswords because they can be done in less than a minute. Shoutout to !crossword@lemmy.world.
