  • I use Grayjay on my MNT Laptop (arm64) in Linux through Waydroid. A native client would be better but the solution with Android emulation works a treat. No issues.

  • Right okay I undertand. Thanks!

  • Then, go over to the community on piefed, and near the bottom of the sidebar, there is a link to "Retrieve a post from the original server".

    Some posts seem to not be retrievable, yet they exist when you follow the canonical links and the Lemmy instances aren't blocvked.

    This one for instance:

    https://pawb.social/comment/13985010

    Any idea why?

  • With Trump and his sycophantic appointed hacks, "If you hire clowns, you get a circus." has never held more true.

  • Well, the overall score was reflected on those original posts piefed.social mirrored by itself. So it did work at least once. It's those extra posts I forced Piefed to retrieve manually that all came with the default score of 1.

    Like I said, it doesn't really matter. But ideally when I finally decide to relocate the communities, I'd like the Piefed copies to be identical. But the scoring is not important: what I really care about is the content and that made it across, now that I finished the retrieve job manually. So it's all good.

  • It's almost as if rich Republicans were terrible people...

  • Wow thanks. It's less obvious than the Youtube video makes it out to be.

    Your comment should be stickied somewhere.

    EDIT: I'm retrieving posts from the original SDF community one by one (good thing it's a small community with low bandwidth 🙂) and I notice that, while the posts appear, the original downvotes/upvotes aren't. copied over. I don't really care, but I figured I'd mention it.

  • Food pedants aren't gullible. They know full well water isn't worth anything like the price it's sold when it's bottled. But they're pedants: it's their job to look sophisticated. They literally make a living out of talking bullcrap about food.

    That's why I said: if they want to pay silly money for water, they're welcome to. What I oppose if ordinary people listening to them and getting taken for a ride next time they go out for dinner.

    But I think reasonable people won't fall for that one. It's just too stupid on its face. And people who are too dumb to know water is just water, well... a fool and his money...

  • That's a blatant scam for self-appointed restaurant critics and other food pedants.

    Let them be scammed. Why not... I have nothing against taking money from fools, so long as they don't convince reasonable people to do the same.

  • As for automatic deletion of older posts...this is something that a piefed admin can do on a community by community basis. When it is turned on for a community, that retention policy is listed in the community sidebar. For instance, if you look at the sidebar of !anime@ani.social, you will see that posts are retained on piefed.social for 365 days.

    Okay then it's fine. I was afraid it was a compulsory thing. I wouldn't consider importing my Lemmy communities on Piefed if it forgot old post.

    Pulling in those 50 posts works most of the time but sometimes, for unknown reasons, it fails and only some posts get mirrored.

    Okay. Well I was just curious. I suppose all the posts will show up after I migrate the communities over here.

    Thanks!

  • Just wait until he discovers that the truck has a battery and can charge the phone with the engine turned off. It's gonna blow his mind.

  • But I thought Trump could declassify things just by thinking about it? His words, not mine.

    That's where you've been had. Trump doesn't think. He says any old shit that goes through his deranged mind at any given moment, even if it makes no sense or contradicts what he said 5 minutes earlier.

    Coherent thinking is done for him by other people - namely the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation. Those particular sonsabitches never wanted a pedo president, nor do they want anything declassified. But Trump is the best fascist racehorse they could find in 50 years, so they put up with his shenanigans.

  • I can tell you as much without any microphone. It's so obvious that it takes a Republican congresscritter or a MAGA dumdum to ignore it.

  • I watched the trailer, and it looks like a right ole shite action movie. However, I will say this:

    President Down

    Why is fiction always better than reality?

  • You don't become a billionaire by playing by the rules.

    Actually you're wrong about that.

    These guys do play by the rule: they obey the law to a tee. But... they obey the LETTER of the law, not the spirit. That's why nobody can't stop them and throw them in the slammer for tax evasion.

    What you need to be a billionaire is to be psychopathic enough to think you're the only person whose interests matter, and have enough money to pay for equally psychopathic tax lawyers to establish some legal constructs for you that enable you to pay almost zero taxes legally. Once you're rich enough to pay the lawyers, you get exponentially richer.

    It's legal, but they're still psychopathic sonsabitches.

  • And that's news?

    I'm old enough to remember spotting Michael Jackson's first album in an obscure record store in SF and wondering if this guy was any good, and I've always knows rich people pay less taxes than working stiffs. In fact, I'm almost certain that's where the idiom to get stiffed comes from.

    I also don't remember a time when I haven't thought the next time I come across a rich prick, if he's enough of a prick, I might just slit his throat for the sheer satisfaction of doing it.

  • I'm tempted to try Ubuntu Touch. But I want to buy a second-hand Fairphone 4 to try it on, and other OSes possibly - because I don't want to waste the CalyxOS install that's running fine on mine right now - and I haven't found a good second-hand one yet.

  • If you went through school without learning anything, it means you're a normal person.

    Don't worry too much. What you need from your school is a degree, not an education. You do your own education. The degree doesn't mean you know anything: it only tells your employer you were patient and dogged enough to sit through boring classes and terrible teachers all the way through.

    That's the real value for your future boss: they like someone who can withstand and survive the idiocy of the workplace. You getting your degree is reasonable proof that you won't be a snowflake and leave them hanging when the going gets a little tough.

    But make no mistake: you know nothing out of school. Nobody does. All employers know that. The best you can hope to get out of school is the ability to learn all the rest quickly after you're hired.
