Dicking deeper means something entirely different from digging deeper.

You may find some stores in some places that will take this stuff, but as far as I know this is not commonplace in much of North America.

Every single lowes or home depot has a recycling station for batteries and CFL bulbs at the entrance or near the customer service desk. I assume those stores are all over the country.

Yeah, I get that. I treated my reddit account like that. My reddit account was 15 years old and you can do some sleuthing and doxxing and track down my real name if you’re persistent enough. Nowadays I value privacy a bit more, so I just save important stuff to my second brain (these days it’s in Obsidian.md, but I’m not married to a specific app).

Karma is nothing more than fake internet points. When I tire of this persona or decide I’d rather make my home on another instance, I’ll just spin up a new name wholly unrelated to the old name.

Lemmy is filled with leftists and geeks. They’re the same demographic.

Is there any sort of legal precedent that covers a situation where:

• I am a user on a network server.
• Meta connects their server to my server so their users and I can interact.
• Am I now bound by a terms of service on Meta’s server that I have not agreed to and may have never seen or been presented with?

When I joint my instance, am I implicitly agreeing to any terms of service that exist on any instance that my instance decides to federate with?#

Most of those are the way I commonly hear, except I’ve always heard PNG pronounced “ping”.

It’s pronounced djinn-ohm, like Genome. It’s a direct reference to magic, Buddhism, and the building blocks of life.

No, I pronounce them Lee-nukes and Lee-noose.

Yes, thank you. I saw you mention bridging matrix to other services in another comment. I’m definitely intrigued and will investigate that. As for Mastodon, I’ve been wanting to find the time to spin up my own server for that one. I’ll definitely be getting deeper into the fediverse, but I also need outside sources of news, preferably not curated by antagonistic algorithms like Facebook.

Shit, man, if I went full fedi, I’d have even less to contribute than I already do. We’ve gotta have some external sources of news and knowledge.

I have traded reddit for lemmy and just closed my Meta and Xitter accounts and I’m already feeling a disconnect from society. I’ve been subscribing to new youtube channels and setting up RSS feeds to make up for the lack of connection to current events.

Because G-d forbids me from speaking or writing foul language.

Fighting like hell right now to get viable candidates for local offices in my area, because the deadline to announce your candidacy is less than 30 days away for us, and many offices go uncontested. I might not pay too much attention to news on the national level, but I’ll definitely be spending the next year working to campaign and canvass for local candidates, register people to vote, and helping people get to the polls.

Good bot.
