There is this guy who killed 40,000 elephants because he thought it'd improve the environment.
Anyways, it was a poor decision, which harmed the natural regrowth of grasses in Africa. And probably contributed to drought and poor soil conditions there. Sadly, he has been regarded as an expert and heralded as an environmentalist par excellance. So, less of a stupid prize for him than a poor prize for humanity writ-large.
I adore VLC.
I've been using Linux Mint for almost a year and a half now: would recommend it to anyone ready to make a jump into Linux and away from Windows. It's quite friendly.
I'm also quite enjoying Sonarr to keep track of some older television shows that I enjoy.
Litigation in 3... 2... 1...
I enjoy that Mr. Torvalds is referred to as an "emperor penguin."
That is all.
Followed!
Glorious.
Agreed! :lw: It's such a cute critter!
Ah! I'm on Mastodon.world!
EDIT: You also asked for why. Well, I wrote a blog post about it, actually...
History, my friend.
History.
Alright! I picked up a pack, and two extra "Logo World Circles". I'm looking forward to seeing the graphics I assisted with as stickers, @cheeseblintzes@lemmy.world! Not 100% where I'll be putting them, but they'll be placed somewhere...
Oh yeah.
This is going on the fridge...
Echoing the need to create and seed (posting some example posts) for communities. On my end, the wiki resources of subreddits were some of my favourite content items, so new communities working on recreating shared pages and resources is right at the top of the list of things that excite me about Lemmy communities. ♥️
I am a proud monthly donor. My couple of bucks I send Ruud and the admin team every month helps make this corner of the internet a reality.
So, that's how it's funded.
If you're able, please consider sending in a donation. You can do so at Open Collective or Patreon.
Awww, man.
Now I'm sad.
Thanks a lot, @orion2145. Not cool.
Oof.
It's a tough decision.
There's a target on the collective back of Lemmy, its developers and this instance. Rooting out these issues early is part of it. One of my first recommendations to @ruud@lemmy.world was to start putting aside contribution dollars from donors for a legal fund to manage liabilities like this. This decision is just solid management and avoiding issues well ahead of time.
I wish the admins well. And for those who have had their communities 'snipped' from being connected to Lemmy.world, I hear you. It's hard when you have built a connection and a sense of self on a platform, and then it becomes severed. That's hard.
