Makes sense....

You'd think a metal detector would be mandatory in all MRI departments before you enter?

The never ending cascade of problems Brexit still drags us slowly through.

You're on a post discussing the potential funneling of Reddit users to Lemmy.world, yet criticize someone for potentially being a Reddit user?

This is the first impression you're setting for them; you're not protecting Lemmy nor are you representing it.

Chill dude, let it organically change if you're tired of Reddit, a lot of people are too.

There's me thinking I had stuffed up my pFsense config. It had me duped into thinking I was responsible!

The amount of times I've told clients to change their SIM or not take their work phone abroad only to be ignored like usual, and get called on their return saying "what the hell!?" We notified them, but just like all MSPs (managed service providers) CEOs or important members will just ignore us or criticise our advice. Now he wants to blame his family who shouldn't even have access as you mentioned. If it's his mistake, he allowed it to happen with warning, and he gave this to a family member unsecured, surely he should be held entirely accountable?

Nope. Politicians breaking all the rules we would get sacked for in an instant at work, or even arrested.

Great standards for us lowly law abiding poor folk. An 11k phone bill would kill me; I guess my taxes will pay for his mistake then. I'm so confused how he doesn't feel like he needs to pay that? I can't figure out how in the fucking world what I'd need to say or do or think to avoid being responsible for that?

It's surely simple for him to figure out. Goes to show how warped morals are being protected here.

Happy birthday man... Sorry I'd love to write a convincing and uplifting message but sadly today I don't fee tool great. Haven't really celebrated my birthday since I was 18... 31 now and I hang with people like once a year, my 30th was at home alone. Lots of anxiety and depression...

Hope you feel better soon though, message if you want, I'll want to listen! I can assure you I'm not too busy socialising instead! ;) Sounds boring and typical, bit go for a walk somewhere you haven't been... Give you some fresh stimulation, and you'll feel a little less trapped being stuck indoors.

Would write more, but... I'm not feeling perfect, so I gave my best reply I could now. Stay well! :)

When someone downplays food poisoning in a school, and they're hardly informed, you get this. Here's your prime example of why COVID was worse than it would have been.

FFS.

I haven't drunk alcohol in over a year, last time I got drunk was maybe almost a decade ago...

I'm sure that'll convince someone? Though it makes it sound like I used to be one too lol.

And when it arrives, I'll smash it with a hammer!!

How people get downvoted for expressing their ant choices is beyond me.

I'll save you with an upvote.

Do people forget it's only non-constructive / offensive things you downvote? Not things you simply disagree with lol.

I think a good third of what I have typed or posted so far on Lemmy has never succeeded as submitting them would cause it to stop responding and never compete. Refreshing will bring the page back up and allow me comment, but it'll not work most the time.

Their downtime has been pretty severe... growing pains, I get it, but it's not just that.

After several attempts at retyping it all, then trying to copy and paste to try to post again just got to me a bit. It's taking a lot out of me as I'm personally struggling in life to try to communicate with people, with it being flakey all the time, it's feels like when you have to repeat yourself, then just give up.

It's a shame because I wanted to post in me communities, but I couldn't. I keep seeing "View reply" on my comments, but they frequently never load or just vanish. I do wonder if they're broken/incomplete replies.

Same, so I gain my minimum sustenance to work for my overlord employer and pay my "well invested" taxes to the government who grants me this quality of life. How could my landlord live if I'm greedy and eat too frequently or varied.

Sorry to hear, I do sympathise. I hope things get better for us. I'm still figuring out how to pay my new 30% rent increase this month after five previous rises this year already...

I feel you buddy.

"Your skills and qualities tell us you may be over qualified for the position. We would like to offer you a role in management instead."

That's the thing, we all have to compromise. I don't support it either, but if something unethical happens, and people still want to keep supporting it, we have to at least convince them to use the "best version" of said thing so it's at least as humane as we can make it possibly be. I'm shocked we still continue to use these complicated and ancient methods of execution that have questionable reliability or ethics when it comes to suffering.

It'd be interesting to see how it would be used for AS for sure!

Do we have any user base statistics for the average age of users for Lemmy compared to the ever growing younger user base of Reddit? (Which isn't necessarily always a bad thing, I love inclusiveness). I can't recall being asked to put in my birthday/age when signing up. (I'm just being genuinely dumb, I would usually just look up this stuff myself but I have to rush this comment, sorry!)

People don't seem as flippant on Lemmy which is fortunate.

I have generally had a better experience when it comes to interaction on here, but I do think there's frequently degrading comments towards Reddit users, especially ones starting out and posting content directly from Reddit. I think it's all usually well intentioned though, they're looking for alternatives, and they wish to get involved and add content. Eventually Lemmy will become more self sufficient when it comes to unique comments or memes for example, but there's a lot of growing pains to get there.

I think I was partially addicted after having used it routinely out of boredom and free time for over a decade...

But once RIF and the other 3rd party apps got strangled out, and RES went into a state of no longer being updated, I couldn't power use Reddit anymore. So once those were uninstalled and removed, I had given myself no choice. Out of principle I couldn't support them and how they treated their mods or communities, nor could I use the site in their epically stupid vanilla default way, I had to just quit.

Cold turkey since.

Will admit, I have to search online for technical help, and a lot of discussion did and still does happen on Reddit, so I'll still occasionally have to use the site for reference. But no interacting with it at all.

I still feel the twitches and urges to use it from so many years of habit, and it's difficult, but I've managed to do it.

Shame there's not as many people so inclined to use Reddit just a little less, doesn't even need to be cold turkey; it WOULD make a difference. But there's nothing wrong with using it, and you shouldn't be judged for it either. It's fine to be anti Reddit, but not anti user... in most cases ha ha! I'm pro voice and choice! ;D

I'm trying to use this as an alternative, and out of necessity as content does run thin sometimes on Lemmy I do end up using it less than I did with Reddit. But that's healthy for me personally.

There's less pressure and competitiveness on here for me, so I try to post better quality comments/content than I may have used to on Reddit. When Lemmy isn't down or breaking my comment/post submissions I'll have a better time engaging with the site, I don't find myself rushing to comment before 400 irrelevant (sometimes one word) comments wash it away and bury it like on Reddit. I don't find myself writing half a comment, and then deciding to quit half way as much.

Plus, people engage with posts and see them much longer than on Reddit, usually after a single day their posts would be entirely dead; guess it's mostly due to less users at this point though.

They were shot on negative 35mm film, and edited on tape in that aspect ratio.

Only some odd scenes and shots were captured on tape, but it was mostly film. They won't need to upscale any live scenes, but they would have to work on rendering all the digital effects and blue screen shots for example. As it was only ever edited on tape, it's unlikely that the digital effects could be ever rendered or upscaled, it would probably need to be entirely reworked from scratch.

Very daunting task. Although, they did it for TNG. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Someone pointed out the obvious in a reply. Yes, of course they will need to be scanned for a better resolution scan. I already pointed out it's on film, and even mentioned why it's not just that simple. (Hence the digital effects needing to be redone).

I had a good few years running until you did that, mate...

Two accounts. One I used to moderate that I made in 2009, and my other account was made about 10 years ago.

Used RIF on mobile and RES on desktop.

Now I use neither, deleted my moderator account and just left my more personal account to rot. (Don't want to delete everything on that one just yet).

But not the horrible attempts they made with the later additions (that hardly followed the canon of the story or style anyway).

I guess I'll be boiling the whole lake then... Don't wanna get amoebas up my bum.

Edit: Bit weird several people need to correct this joke when it's explained only above how they entered the brain. My comment indicates I wouldn't be putting my head under water because of it.

Damn.

You are definitely right that it's not that common an occurrence on the other instances. But yes, I should have clarified these issues are with lemmy.world.

Decided to play KSP again after months of ignoring it. (Due to performance)

Managed to strip some unnecessary mods and parts of my ship.

Now it only just crashes once or twice a day.

True, hopefully they've put thermal grease on it...

Preferably butter.

Literally only found this out the other day, great comment. I needed head tracking for beamng to complete my setup and found my phone's camera obviously outperformed my webcam. No latency over usb! Anyone wanting to know an easy way to head track with a webcam or phone should try to use droidcam with Open track. :)

You got that right!!

The coal industry emits magnitudes more unvetted radiation than any nuclear power plant will in it's whole lifetime; as in, radiation is undetectable around a modern nuclear plant.

Plus coal and oil extraction has it's own problems with radiation. Nuclear produces stable, storable waste that if handled and buried correctly will never become an ecological issue.

They're built to a modern standard where it's practically foolproof. Fukushima held up to an enormous earthquake followed by several tsunamis; that's despite the poor operation of the plant.

The damage we would have to cause to compromise and get rid of any nuclear reliance is far more immediate and concerning.

Nuclear isn't actually as complicated nor unpredictable as you'd think. They've solved ways to avoid melt downs such as the fuels being improved, the amount they process at one time, their cooling and the redundancies. The physical design of a modern station takes into account the worst situations that any given amount of fuel can give in a meltdown such as deep wells that are situated under a reactor to melt into. You won't likely ever see in our lifetimes a station reaching critical meltdown and it not be because a government or private company cut corners.

Scientists are doing this work, they know what they know and they know what they're doing, it's not really for everyone to politically involve ourselves with when no one ever does any valid research or basic knowledge of science without fear mongering.
