Lemm.ee best instance, lemmy.world worst instance.
It doesn't matter how many communities an instance hosts since you can interact with any community on any instance (barring any defederation). Lemm.ee's strength is in being a fast, reliable instance with the best admin.
Haha, most of my opinions are unpopular. Some posted in this in thread I agree with.
I don't see that either. People have disagreed with me politely and intelligently here which is just good conversation.
Not going to read the article so in response to the comment, electric bicycles put people in a strange place in terms of safety. You've got the speeds of a motorcycle without the ability to flow with traffic. In the presence of high density traffic I'd say an e-bike is more dangerous than a motorcycle.
I've been a motorcyclist most of my life and I can say you have to be super vigilant about situational awareness and ready to evade at all times. People driving in cars are not programmed to notice motorcycles. They're always looking for cars and sometimes don't register other hazards. It shouldn't be that way, but nothing is going to change that as long as human beings are driving.
My recommendation to anyone who wants to use an e-bike for regular transportation is just go to a motorcycle, it's going to be much safer in traffic. There's some really nice electric motorcycles now. For e-bike users you have to be extra careful. Drivers don't see bicyclists anyway and you're going a lot faster most of the time. A head injury at 10 mph can be fatal.
What a time to be alive eh?
Yeah, haha, the days of monopolistic companies taking away your options and forcing you into a paid pigeon hole. We're sliding down the slope and picking up speed.
It's pretty ironic how companies will spend so much money on advertising to gain brand recognition, but then throw it away on a whim.
Do each app need to manually integrate with another app to be considered federated or is any app using ActivityPub automatically integrated to your app?
ActivityPub provides the framework, but a platform also has to be designed to support another platform. It's not automatic.
Good to see the FCC going after this kind of thing. Put them in jail even better.
I have my phone set up so the only numbers that chime the phone are those in my contact list. The abuse of voice and text on the cell network is rampant and it's equivalent to trespassing.
I have on old car. I should replace it, but it doesn't have a lot of mileage. I'm honestly dreading the purchase of new car because of this practice, not just the subscription features, but the control the maker has by being networked to it. I love my old dumb car.
Can always tell when a show is 4:3 aspect. Recently I've noticed some modern TV shows adopting the theater aspects of flat (1.85:1) or scope (2.4:1) which I think is pretty cool. The last episode of Strange New Worlds I watched was in scope, that's some high end filming.
I've been using LED bulbs for a good number of years, I've only had one or two die on me. The longevity alone makes them much better than incandescent, but then they use a tenth the power.
My favorite is the A15 Edison style. That's the appliance size, smaller than the standard A19. The A15 fits in everything so I only need to stock one size.
I never thought Reddit was addictive. I actually spend more time on Lemmy in a day than I did on Reddit. My browsing habits changed though. Reddit is so big I only looked at a few niche subreddits. Lemmy being much smaller I view a much wider range of topics. It's a different and better experience for me.
