The article does state Idaho, but it bwould be nice to see if it's relevant.

Can we get a location rule? Like [USA, Idaho] at the end of the title? We know it's the USA, but it'd bw nice to know where. Also, state or country names when it's just a city or town. Like I'm supposed to know if it's Paris France or Paris Illinois.

Just join one of the less extreme right wing one's so you can learn the enemies tactics.

He's targeting the audience of that one edgy podcast guy who's name I can't remember. They'll vote him because he's pissing off liberals.

Would you support a European Citizens Initiative to force our politicians to drop Twitter and create their own Mastodon instances? in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk
[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

I guess if they just don't federate or only federating with other official instances. If people want to discuss it, then they can just link to it. Can you subscribe to non-fed instances?

How does moderation work in that case? It would have to have comments disabled if it's government ran or they risk censoring (or not censoring) people. Either that or a non-government entity could run an eu instance and only give accounts to officials from various countries/groups/entities.

Let's talk about the growing number of websites that won't work with a vpn. Even a local government website won't work.

Which project would be best for a local community hub? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Mastadon? Lemmy? It would probably have to be standalone so people would't be turned off from the content from the rest of the fediverse unless there's a way to prevent federated content from showing on the instance. Just a place to post local news and discussions, maybe a place to sell secondhand. I live near a huge college with a major cs program, so I should be able to get users.

Only getting video output from the motherboard. It did this with Budgie on top of stock Ubuntu and with the Budgie "flavor" freshly installed.

I have an Intel A310 in an HP prebuilt, so that's probobly the issue.

If you think a game should be higher or lower in ranking, then upvote or downvote it. If you don't see a game on the list that you think should be on the list then create a top level reply with the name and system.

The inside of a snowman could be warmer than the outside. (sh.itjust.works)
 

If you built a snowman during the day the snow only needs to be below freezing. It can get colder that night or the next day by quite a bit. The exterior of the snowman would be colder than the inside even though they're both frozen.

I Replaced the headlight bulbs on the car today. (sh.itjust.works)
 

We recently purchased a new (to us) family car and I've been addressing some of the neglected maintenance items. The low beam headlights were extremely dim, yet the high beams were very bright. Incandescent bulbs become dimmer over time. I purchased some which were recommended by the forum for my specific vehicle for only $15 on the rain forest site. They are quite a bit brighter now and I feel much safer driving at night.
