What's your go to drink when you go to the bar and why?
  • Old Fashioned, Whisky Sour, Gin and Tonic.

    Or beer. Then usually wheat beer if they have it.

    But I so rarely drink that’s literally once a year maybe; my dad is an alcoholic so it’s difficult to look at alcohol as something harmless.

  • What else can be done to defeat Trump in November other than just telling people "vote"?
  • I hope you’re right. I want you to be right. And I agree at this point the Democratic Party ought to try - damn, they’re losing anyway so they might as well try.

    My worry is that an alternative candidate that is worth their salt AND want to run against Trump can’t be found. I hope I’m wrong.

  • What else can be done to defeat Trump in November other than just telling people "vote"?
  • The problem is that the act of swapping candidates will seem to be so entirely clueless that whoever steps up to the plate is bound to lose.

    Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. No one will spoil their chances for 2028 by being a late entry now. The democratic party is hunkering down for 4 more years of Trump is suspect.

  • Pyongyang Says It Will Send Support Troops to Ukraine Within a Month
  • Maybe on account of the communities I subscribe to, but I’ve personally not come across right wing extremism on Lemmy. The tankies, though … so prevalent. Anyways, by server blocking hexbear it’s reduced by 90%.

  • Pyongyang Says It Will Send Support Troops to Ukraine Within a Month
  • … “and don’t worry about your family back home in North Korea who will be compressed into tinned meal”.

    The defection rate will be low I suspect. It’s an automatic TFK (total family kill) to defect and I doubt they’ll send anyone who don’t have family at home in Glorious Motherland!

  • You can fit two cars there
  • Completely. Give me a light Geländewagen (and I’m talking about the utility version that armies buy, not the blinged up Chelsea tractor version), with triple differential lock and it’ll out-drive these monster trucks any day, on any terrain, pulling the same weight.

  • Derisking a project 1 year out
  • Yeah, I agree that might work if the marketing team isn’t that connected to the product. I’ve not worked with a marketing team where that would work, but maybe it will for some. It doesn’t change the “massive customer will only renew if” scenario, though.

  • Derisking a project 1 year out
  • The challenge is, in a real org of some size, you’ll suddenly get marketing or customer success asking you for commitments that are very far out, because ad slots have to be booked or a very large customer renewal is coming up.

    And some of the normal coping mechanism (beta-branch that spins off stable feature to the general release branch) don’t work for all those requests.

    Try as you might, you are going to get far off deadlines that you have to work towards. Not for everything but for more than you’d like.

  • Europeans of Lemmy, what places in Europe should foreigners avoid at all cost?
  • So knowing that European consider Swiss people cold, imagine how cold they are.

    They are stone cold to foreigners - so many English speaking wealthy people live there and they are not welcomed into the local communities. It can take a decade to make local Swiss friends.

    It would be awesome if wefwef did this

    Three posts, across the fediverse, point to exactly the same link, with the same post text.

    I would just love it if wefwef could collapse these into one (“Seen in 3 communities”) and then collapse the comments into one mega-thread.

    This is the downside of federation...

    I’d love it if client-side processing could collapse these posts into one.

    Subscribing to kbin magazines?

    Given both kbin and lemmy are part of the fediverse, I would expect to be able to subscribe to https://kbin.social/m/tech by searching for !tech@kbin.social - but nothing shows up.

    What am I doing wrong?
