I would take belly rubs from anyone at the let’s office. They know what they are doing.

Do orangutans normally board waterborne vessels?

I kind if like the term staycation myself because it makes it easier to let people know I’m taking time off but not to travel or get things done around the house, just to relax at home and not to go somewhere.

That is generally what I do for the week of my birthday.

Since his HUD was internal it isn’t a good comparison.

They Live had sunglasses with a ‘heads up’ display.

99% won’t do when the consequences of that last 1% are sever.

As an example, your whole post is great but I can’t help but notice the one tiny typo that is like 1% of the letters. Heck, a lot of people probably didn’t even notice just like they don’t notice when AI returns the wrong results.

A multi billion dollar technical system should be far better than someone posting to the fediverse in their spare time, but it is far worse. Especially since those types of tiny errors will be fed back into future AI training and LLM design is not and never will be self correcting because it works with the data it has and it needs so much that it will always include scraped stuff.

Look, two Rs is accurate as long as you accept that AI knows ‘what you really mean’ and you should have just prompted better.

Oh neat.

Mostly because having a disorder that is a daily reminder of how much work it is just to function on a day to day basis and apparently remembering the fuck ups way more than the good things since the fuck ups are basically the same thing each time. It feels worse and worse each year, and honestly my biggest fear is that I will get dementia and not be able to tell because it that is how I have felt my entire life.

That said, reminding myself that I’m doing pretty well is the counterbalance that keeps me going. I’ve accepted my limits and just roll along with becoming a jack of all trades that still has to relearn anything I haven’t done for a few years. Meds help while they are active, but they don’t work 24 hours a day.

Don’t worry, by the time you are 50 it is exactly the same.

I’m not suggesting there is nothing. I am pointing out that FMLA requires access to a doctor who can do the paperwork and a significant number of people in the US don’t have that access.

I know from personal experience that getting FMLA sorted out is a giant pain in the ass when one does have access.

The IT guy underbid on a contracted job and wanted more money. It wasn’t like he could just be given a raise or a bonus because he wasn’t a regular employee.

The paperwork is reliant on access to medical care though.

Gesus!

I love the crossplay releases like with Helldivers 2 were we can all play together!

It looks pretty, but can you promote Harry Kim?

Isn’t the related Communities something that is manually added to the right hand menu?

I was thinking of something that would be next to the link name above the post, where it would be a heads up that a community exists on another instance with the exact same name. Automated and noticeable even if the sidebar isn’t showing due to being on mobile or not having the web browser wide enough.

Either piefed.world doesn’t support images or I need to turn something on or I would post an image to show what I mean. It would be something in addition to related communities, which is neat, but not based on exact matches.

Allowing posts to be created for communities on shut down instances is something that should be solved with a technical solution.

Discovery of communities is a much bigger issue than which community someone happens to land on to look for activity. Once people get a sub list going they don’t have easy ways to know new communities are being created. Even if they browse All they might be sorting for popularity. If they use Local they never see stuff from other instances. If they look at an instance they won’t see content from defederated instances. They also won’t see the external content that nobody from that instance has subbed to.

Having more than one community with the same name and topic is something that could be addressed by encouraging people to find similar communities. The easiest would be an indicator that other federated communities with the same name exist that they could review and maybe click the join button. The end result would be more people finding out about similar communities across instances and far less need for crossposting to get more eyeballs.

As a side note, large instances are preferred by users who mostly view because the more people means more federation since communities on other instances only show if someone subs. That means the big instances are the ones that will grow because they already show most of the content by default.

The LW one is still used by people, either unaware of the Reddthat one, or thinking that they will have a larger audience on a community with more subscribers

Or like me they subbed to more than one of the same community across instances. It shouldn’t be a competition.

Past experiences just show that usually there’s poster burnout happening after a few weeks being the only poster on a community, and that it’s usually easier to join an existing community.

Then the community fades away and that is what I would prefer to happen instead of formally closing and moving. A post about the prolific posters switching over worked well for the migration to piefed as far as I can tell.

I prefer multiple redundant communities for a few reasons.

If one is on an instance I’ve blocked (not in this case) it cuts off the discussion entirely. Like if the municipality and other communities on .ml never had redundant communities elsewhere I wouldn’t see any of it.

Moderation can make engagement unfun on some instances.

It does increase crossposting and redundancy. Piefed currently merges comments of crosspoats which is awesome and lemmy could in the future.

So while I don’t oppose it in this case, the consolidation trend seems to be swinging to the opposite extreme from intentional fragmentation instead of just letting each community grow and fade out on their own.
