I’m not totally sure of the wisdom involved in gating content when ActivityPub and the Fediverse are still so new and niche.
If you’re putting out premium content that doesn’t affect the existing communities, whatever, I don’t care. But I do have to wonder how you’re actually going to make money when most users are used to free content.
Wouldn’t it be easier to use Ko-fi or similar?
Maybe make the cat indoor-only and save on vet bills. And save the animals in your neighborhood.
It’s a fact that cats hunt for fun in addition to sustenance. Since you presumably feed your cat, we can only assume that everything he attacks outdoors is for fun.
Would love to see the notwithstanding clause used for good, like, one time.
You say that like I’m unaware - maybe I should needlessly remind you that most of these fines are generally in the millions of dollars. A step in the right direction is not a bad thing.
Regardless, I’m not sure shareholders will think of it that way if the anti-trust practices continue and the fines accrue. The EU likes to be punitive when their orders are ignored.
I’m glad that corporations are actually receiving fines that are commensurate with their earnings and scale. Hopefully it’s enough to get them to not do this shit.
Speaking as a technician (associate’s degree), every engineer in my country makes easily double what I do. Doctors, lawyers, and engineers are just examples of professions that are paid more for their expertise than their actual work output. I would have to work 60-hour weeks just to get paid what a fresh engineering grad would get.
If you think you’re at the top of your pay scale and want to earn more, then you should probably think about further education or look into travel nursing if travel is interesting/a possibility for you. Some kind of specialized knowledge like radiation, imaging, or anesthesiology would probably help.

But as he was cocking the gun’s hammer, it fired
Come on. It didn’t fire, he accidentally pulled the trigger while trying to pull back the hammer - I wouldn’t be surprised if he barely uses the fucking thing because it’s a security blankie to him and not a dangerous tool of destruction. I hate this passive language bullshit when it comes to things people obviously did.
Respectfully, it looks like shit and basic hand sewing isn’t hard. 5 year olds can do this with a bit of instruction.
I’ve never heard of that person. I guess I always assumed all of the celebrities were going to be roughly equally famous. People thought it was Olivia Wilde for a long time.
Didn’t even think of that, but you’re right. Not that there’s anything wrong with not wanting to leave your hometown, but when you literally can’t due to finances, that’s pretty fucked. Especially since moving to a larger or different city can open up so many opportunities.
As a personal example, I moved from a city with a lot of manufacturing to one with very little, and now I can’t find a job in my chosen field. Some other stuff has come up and I have relatively easy access to government financial aid, so I’ve decided to go back to college. So many others just don’t have that option so they’d be stuck in shitty or low-paying jobs.
Yeah, my parents have been living in Mexico off and on for years, and are about to move back. If I had kids, it would all be on me and my wife. Thankfully I don’t want kids, but other people do and they’re struggling. Grandparents can’t & won’t fix this problem.
That’s great - I am obviously not talking about you in that case. I understand why people want to use it, I just don’t think Discord’s features are good enough to justify the mass adoption and the walled garden and UI are bad.
Last pre-order I made was Fallout 4, because it was a birthday present for my ex and her birthday was before the game came out. It’s just not worth it otherwise.
Yes, that’s how I ended up there too. At the time, Skype sucked and Mumble/Ventrilo/etc. were seen as too old-school for my friends (and a lot of them didn’t have PCs, just smartphones). We also tried Google Meet, Zoom, and Facebook Messenger at various points but Discord always seemed like the most reliable.
Yes, exactly! At this point, some of these communities have been on Discord for years and have specialized bots for certain tasks. They don’t want to start over, and I don’t want them to either - there’s tons of real work that these communities have put in. I think that these messaging services that want to make headway in the space Discord occupies need to reduce the friction in switching because a lot of Discord admins do believe that the feature set is better, they just can’t easily move over.
This happens to organizations all the time and it’s a known issue - Discord communities are no different. I’m hoping something comes along in the next few years if it doesn’t already exist in its infancy right now. Even at the user level, I know many people are confused about Matrix. I don’t know how exactly to fix these issues, but they need to be priorities.
My wife and I really like Agricola. It’s a farming-based people-placing game created in Germany for 2-4 players (with the base game), but there is an expansion for 5-6 players. We do play with a decent amount of house rules, though.
So having a pension (that pays just a little bit more than the average annual Canadian salary) is woke now? Conservatives sure love being little snowflakes about everything these days.
