I would suggest just not subscribing to any communities on that site. Let's not turn everything into a defederate ~~war~~ debate.

If they did not setup Legacy contacts (people who can access their account after their death), you will need to either gain access by resetting passwords, or via court order.

The attorney handling the probate might help you, or you can try the legal aids that work with that courthouse.

And as an aside, don't forget to setup your own legacy contacts now and possibly get your parents to do it now. Having gone through this a couple times recently, it was very nice to have the legacy contact access. Made everything simple.

Some Minivans share the same chassis as sedans. I'm not starting to call sedans "Minivans" just because the chassis is shared.

I have such mixed emotions about Python. I have to concede its uses. Especially when working with data and data scientists. A lot of people use it. There is a good amount of existing code floating around that can be re-used, etc. Its never the first language I reach for, but I have to accept that a lot of people use it.

But OMG, I have had to re-install my OS more than once due to python versioning issues. Not recently sure, I think I have it figured out now with virtualenv and pyenv, but it literally has caused me to reformat twice after getting too deep into dependency version mismatch hell.

Just also want to add:

When A federates with B, it does not get B's content. A only gets content from B that A's users subscribe to.

This is the true LPT.

If you carry a small splitter, then you don't have to try and find an empty outlet at airports and such. Unplug, split, Plug.

Going to need a little more power, do you have a 50Amp outlet in the back?

My options are $65 a month for 10Mb download / 768 kbit upload and 120ms ping to gaming servers, and about 1 in 10 packet loss. Or.. $120 a month for starlink which gives me 100-200 MB download and 50-100 MB upload and 40-60ms ping to gaming servers and about 1 in 100 packet loss.

I think I'm miss stating my key point.

When I swap a SIM card out for one in the country I am in, how am I going to receive all my SMS and RCS messages tied to the phone number? Nobody uses SMS/RCS outside of North America. Making people in other countries pay per message to send me a text or photo is weird. And yes a lot of plans internationally still charge per message, which is why most messaging is on WhatsApp in Europe, South America, and Aftrica. Line in Asia. Kakao Talk in Korea, WeChat in China. And none of this has to do with iPhone not using RCS--which sure, they should adopt--but it's because people don't want their phone carrier involved in their messaging. So again, even if Apple implemented RCS--and they should--I don't think we are seeing any kind switch back to using phone carriers to deliver messages outside of North America.

When I use iMessage I use my email address as the source/destination, not phone number. And in that sense, it is no different to me than WhatsApp, Line, KakaoTalk or WeChat. And I use all of those too depending on what country my recipient is in. Whether SMS/RCS I don't want the message tied to a phone number that might be temporary. So again, when I ask my android friends to move to WhatsApp or another app it is not because iMessage is better. It's that SMS and even RCS are worse than everything.

It is, which is why I avoid it. The amount of power VSCode consumes vs others is significant. Jetbrains products even have a low power mode which turns off indexing. Can run that thing all day long without plugging in.

I also use Ripcord for slack instead of that electron client.

I always avoid electron apps so I don't have to have a separate flow when I am on battery vs plugged in.

Interesting, tried this one a couple times but it never really seemed to stick with our crowd. Its been a while, maybe it is worth a revisit.

I didn't realize how many worker placement games I own until I started going through them. These are the ones I would recommend:

  • Caylus (I consider this a top one, but can be a bit hard to explain to beginners)
  • Stone Age (Classic and easy to teach)
  • Leonardo Da Vinci (I have not seen this one around as much recently but is always loved

Some have said Agricola, I'm iffy on if this is actual a worker placement, to me it is more turn based, with the "workers" just representing taken spots. But, if we are counting Agricola, then I would of course put in for Agricola, but argue highly for its much better cousin--La Harve.
