There has been quite a surge of sports on the ‘net as of lately. I do wonder why that is?

I had my battery replaced by Apple on my XS. I was down to about 80% life, maybe less. I have seen a very noticeable improvement in battery life. It seems to charge faster when I’m using it on a charger. And before I was losing like 40% of my battery overnight while my phone sat here. Now it’s maybe 2 or 3%.

If you go with Apple they also replace your speaker since it’s integrated or something? They also accidentally cracked my screen when replacing battery, so I got a new battery, new speaker, and brand new screen for like $80 or $90. Definitely breathed new life into my phone.

What is meant by:

In a Threads post, Zuckerberg took a light jab at Twitter while optimistically predicting that Threads could become the first online public square that attracts a billion users

Doesn’t Facebook already have more than 1 billion users?

Commenting to follow along and learn more!

I have never played The Outer Wilds, however your description makes the game sound similar to No Mans Sky. Is this a fair assumption?

Wow this is so cool, I had an Aero Press way back in my college days. Didn't know they were still in existence / popular. Best cups of coffee I've ever had.

One million vs. One? I like those odds...

@vonck

Well that would makes sense then, good to know. There are a lot of moving parts haha

So uhhh… if we all just don’t pay…. They can’t come after all of us, right?

I think my biggest issue is using the kbin website (or PWA) and being able to search for a different ActivityPub-affiliated website, but stay within the kbin instance, so I can subscribe.

I have a post above with some screenshots to explain my question, here’s a link : https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/p/609057/-/reply/1082038

@Lifecoach5000 As far as I can tell, kbin does work in a similar fashion. However, I am not sure if I am coming across two unique communities, depending on how I reach them (kbin search vs. Google search). Or if the discrepancy is because we are still in the infant stages of fediverse and not everything is going to mesh together 100% (e.g. some subscriber / comment totals might be off because they are not fully synced between instances yet?)

@Zana

Sorry not sure I understand. Let me try another example and maybe that will solidify it.

I’d like to join this community: https://imgur.com/a/lJX8b7u

When I search @asklemmy in kbin.social is see this: https://imgur.com/a/oeDPZ8i

I tried modifying the link you previously posted to show as : https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Which shows as : https://imgur.com/a/ysUutXx

But this community has far fewer subscriber and comments than the “original” Lemmy community, as seen here: https://imgur.com/a/givdaoE

So I am just trying to figure out… why? And how can I fix this? And how can I iron out the process? Thanks in advance!

Alright you caught me in a good mood, so I’ll throw some articles out here to explain my line of thinking. I hope you’ll see I’m not arguing with strawmen.

Article from October of last year describing right wing outrage to drag shows.

Fast forward to recent months and it appears that words have turned to action, in the form of legislation

I believe some else mentioned the Paradox of Tolerance, but I will link it again just in case you missed it.

I hope this clears up my line of thinking. No invisible boogymen here - just some examples of,
In my opinion, things changing for the worst. And if you were not arguing in good faith… oh well.

Ok you got me there.

I just took a peek at that user’s profile. Saw what magazines they moderate. Not surprised we have a different point of view.

The far-right brings messages of hate, violence, intolerance, and attempts to pass legislation to justify their views. The far-left has brought us the weekend, the 40 hour work week, child labor laws, etc…

At about 20 hours in I remember thinking, “hmmm this map isn’t too awfully large. I handled BOTW no problem.” But my god the map is deceptive of the sheer size and “hidden” regions.

60+ hours in now and I think maybe 16% of all achievements? Wild.

One thing I suggest is:
You're trying to get something working but it isn't going anywhere? Try again later.
First, because of the obvious calming down, since stress can affect the person's capacity to solve problems.

Amazing how many situations in which this can be applied!

I love rats! They’re like small dogs, only way more intelligent. Shame they live such short lives :(

That seems like it will present a problem. If an uninformed redditor asks, “hey is it safe to move this wire?” And some troll replies, “yes”… with no one there who is knowledgeable to moderate. Might lead to some disastrous outcomes.

*edit - I agree with you forcing the admin’s hands. Im not sure they know what they will be getting themselves into.
