You could make the world the head rather than the nose... also whiskers coming from around the nose and maybe a little thinner.

Its a bit tricky to get the hang of but inkscape could be good for logo design. Could also use one of these AI image generators.

!nihilism@lemmy.world was created last week but not much there yet.

Depends on the situation. I would accept conscription for myself as a measure of last resort ie. defence. I probably wouldn't be much use to them anyway so they would have to be really desperate!! I also kind of like how the Swiss military service works, everyone does it, knowing it will probably never be needed... because it teaches life skills etc.
On the other hand I don't think I could get behind the US conscription for Vietnam or Russia conscription for Ukraine.

Search term "mini usb2 to usbc" on amazon UK came back with a good list... brands easyult and nfhk. No clue how good they are or if they would be available in EU/CH.

This is the best answer and why I was thinking it wouldn't be possible but couldn't come up with a good explanation.
Also Cunninghams law in action... post a dumb answer and someone will give the right answer. Thanks.

I was surprised when I looked into digital nomad visas last year, how cheap an airbnb was to book for a month out of season.

Edit, missed that they said a week or 2

I'm imagining a use case of finding people buried in collapsed buildings with wifi, or is it just detecting movement... I didn't quite understand the science bit.

Guinea pig maybe (perhaps a larger breed) although you might still be allergic). I find rabbits aren't really that interested in playing but don't know about guinea pigs. If fur is totally out, maybe something like an iguana (but the only one i know of is jubjub on the simpsons). I think this would depend where you live as well. Birds like budgies could be good but the only experience I have is of friends pets, and they stank.

I'm about as far from being an expert as there can be but as a programmer I would say that the main consideration would be load... if you were to migrate the contents, is it 50 posts or 50,000. If its just users moving in and starting a new empty community, they can spread themselves over many instances anyway. But you still have to think about how much they are posting and how frequently.

I am not aware whether there are metrics available by instance as to how much they "can support". Of course cloud hosted instances could expand infinitely, but are limited by the budget. If you anticipate a high load then perhaps talking to the instance owners of the larger ones would be appropriate.

On the flip side, the instance listing could include these metrics or instance owners could set a bio of what their capabilities are or what they can handle.

Another consideration would be what else they host... you don't want to find your instance defederated for trolls or other nastiness in other communities. That said, if its an nsfw sub, you probably should go to one of the nsfw instances.

Career wise I find myself in a similar position. Roles in my niche skill set are largely offshore or contract positions now. I don't like the idea of management. I love doing what I do... fixing bugs, investigating complex problems, not talking to people for days!!

I have been debating trainer or tester roles. There is also Scrum master as a possibility but I think that would be too regimented for me, there doesn't seem to be much scope to adapt the scrum model for different situations - at least the way my employer does it!

Just some ideas, I don't have much good advice as I'm spinning my wheels without a clear direction at the moment.

Had this myself recently, process explorer still works though. tskill taskmgr.exe would probably work too.

Not sure it would be possible but got me thinking. The brain consists of around 100 billion neurons with a charge of around 0.07 volts at rest. That is a theoretical 7 billion volts. I am not a doctor or electrician but that would have to go somewhere, presumably earth. No idea of the consequences somewhere between none and spontaneous combustion would be my guess!!

Think I prefer the top logo but with the sharing of the bottom

Lemmy is very much in its infancy as a product. And I suspect they may have been ill prepared for the reddit influx.

So far it seems to have held up surprisingly well thanks to the federated architecture.

At this point any thought into the topic is good. Lemmy is going to rely on people who do the thinking, the coding and the hosting if its going to survive as a non commercial product.

While I concede your general point on the practicalities of responsible pet ownership and exotic pets, I imagine that what you are saying about vets be fairly region specific. Indoor birds are the 3rd most popular pet in the UK... albeit with only 3% of households as cats and dogs dominate here. There are 2 vets that service birds within 2 miles of me and one is an exotic specialist. Location was not specified so I suggested some of the more common options if the most popular ones are not suitable.

The Sync for reddit dev is working on a lemmy version but its a few weeks away. I'm using connect till then... the current version is pretty good and similar enough to sync for my uses.

Good point hadn't spotted that. Just checked the official logo has whiskers like yours but not going over the face. Maybe thats why it feels off.
