  • I had to look this one up, I didn't realize how old the technology was

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flettner_rotor

    A Flettner rotor is a smooth cylinder with disc end plates which is spun along its long axis and, as air passes at right angles across it, the Magnus effect causes an aerodynamic force to be generated in the direction perpendicular to both the long axis and the direction of airflow.[1] The rotor sail is named after the German aviation engineer and inventor Anton Flettner, who started developing the rotor sail in the 1920s.

  • Where do all the doors lead?

    One entrance, one closet, what about the third one?

  • From what I understand, it's still an excellent choice. It's well supported and decent for new users.

    Can you look into if the online version of Excel works for your wife? That might simplify your install. Libre Office and OnlyOffice are decent alternatives, but they might not map 1:1 with the instructions she gets from school.

  • Neat

  • The video lists out a few other collectable trends, some of which I forgot about (Labubus, Smiskis, Sunny Angels, Jelly Cats, Squishmallows, Stanley Cups, Beanie Babies)

    I wonder how many of the expensive collectable sale stories are true. If I gave my friend $3000 and told them to buy my Fedivoo for that amount, that might hype up Fedivoos enough to get people buying them.

    Time to launch my line of Fedivoos

  • Sorry I missed this a while back, but yes that sounds good :)

    One thing we're waiting on is to have a new set of guidelines for ourselves. We were thinking of having some recommended guidelines that community mods can pick from. We can probably make it interactive and have it copy to clipboard in some order of priority

  • Do you actually want to be in those communities?

    Your account is new, the username is specifically against the mod and the topic of those communities, and you have 2 other removed posts in the communities you were banned. The posts were images of a crying witch drinking from shot glasses, which you titled "tastes good doesn't it"

  • That can be a quick way to get device / IP banned if you do it wrong

  • @Canconda@lemmy.ca, @SincerityIsCool@lemmy.ca

    We run a few different frontends to give people choice over how they view the site. The site lemmy.ca has one main backend where all the data is stored and managed, and then a few different frontends that connect to it. Only the default frontend is made by the same developers as the lemmy backend, so it tends to be the most stable and up to date with features, and that's the one we have set for when you just type in lemmy.ca

    You can check out the other frontends with the following links:

    In the case of this post, you can find the list of instances while using the default frontend by going to this page: https://lemmy.ca/instances

    This information will be true regardless of which frontend you are using to use the site. old.lemmy.ca might also display that information on some other page, but I'm not as familiar with it personally. I use the Photon interface sometimes, and that one displays it here: https://photon.lemmy.ca/instances

    We have some guides about all this on our website if you want to see a comparison of the frontends: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/alternative-uis

    Happy to clarify further on anything!

  • I have no strong preference, I'm happy to post to both in the meantime

  • Could you edit your post and add a [solved] to the title, and maybe edit the post with the solution?

  • WhatsApp is awful with permissions. I couldn't find a way to use it without giving it access to all my contacts. I installed it on the work profile and uninstalled it as soon as I didn't need it anymore.

  • You could try disabling some extensions to see if there's a troublemaker. Alternatively, run Firefox in safe mode to see if it's your settings/extensions or the site itself

  • I was more familiar with the UK one and thought I came across a fake account when I first saw the Australian one. It felt like an over exaggerated caricature of far-right rage bait

  • Why is the first part of October in the second box?

    Now I want to see an infographic about the common parts of each of the months
