If we go with the email analogy, people rarely ever search for ‘email’, they just go to the specific ones they know.

I get it, but everyone going to gmail is not a good thing and never has been. The paradigm shift is more meaningful than simply growing lemmy as a community. Without that, the only difference from a mainstream social network today would be a handful of big players rather than just one.

I used facebook way too much and the thing that got me to finally delete my account in 2011 was I had made a post about discovering diaspora and linking my account. Hung out with a friend a month or two later and he loaded up my facebook profile and could see every post I had ever made except the one about a federated facebook alternative.

Veering a little off-topic now, but facebook contacts being my irl friends made that feel so dangerous to me. If half my friends have opinion A and the other half opinion B, then if one opinion is entirely censored but I still see everything posted matching the approved opinion, that will have an enormous sway over how my worldview develops, in a way different from seeing strangers agreeing on those same things.

I know orange cats have a reputation for being dumb but mine was by far the smartest cat I’ve had. He especially had an intuition for communication that none of my others did.

I was generally on top of keeping the water dish full and the one time it’s getting low he does a loud meow to get me to look at him and plops down and does exaggerated head turns. He looks at the water dish for a couple seconds, looks at me, turns his head back to the water dish. Just zero ambiguity whatsoever. Hey jackass, do you see what I’m looking at?

I feel very confident my black cat would have handled this by rubbing his head against me in the exact same way he did when wanting attention or literally anything else.

There is only one model structure that can be put on the category of small categories for which the weak equivalences coincide with honest equivalences of categories. It’s called the Joyal-Tierney model structure. You can define the suspension of an object in any model category as the homotopy pushout to two terminals, then define an abstract notion of a sphere in any model category by setting the 0-sphere as the coproduct of two terminals and the (n+1)-sphere as the suspension of the n-sphere.

A small category is a CW-complex if and only if it is a groupoid.

What I’m reading is he was right on the money about the pixel character being a more appealing love interest.

Oh my god that is another level of heartwarming.

I had a cat who liked to be cradled like a baby and I want that back so much. I would do it some with the boy we got after, but I kind of knew that was more for me and he was just tolerating it.

Not exactly the same but my boy and I did showertime together for probably seven or eight months when he was a kitten and the day he grew up broke my heart so much.

Our shower had an outer curtain and a transparent inner curtain and he would stand between them and watch the water come down while I would shower. It was his favorite part of every day, if he was in another room when I turned on the water he would start screaming and absolutely bolt in, like he was upset I had started without him. It was so cute and his enthusiasm was infectious.

After six or seven months he started treating showertime less as recreation and more as an obligation, his enthusiasm was waning and sometimes he’d arrive late and cranky from being woken by the faucet.

And then one day he didn’t come. I knew that day would arrive eventually, but it still hurt a lot at the time. With more time passed though, that half-year+ of showertime being his favorite part of the day are memories I really cherish.

Opened the comments because I got stuck at this line for a bit. When I got to this part my brain added in commas and it took me a little because even though “teaching, as well as the best human tutors, is within our reach” doesn’t really make sense, it still seems less nonsensical than without the commas.

I’ll probably get a lot of downvotes for this, but

I’m like 50/50 on this part being sarcasm, it doesn’t read like that to me at all but it’s also hard for me to picture expecting disagreement with a linkedin headcase to be an unpopular opinion anywhere outside of linkedin.

h-node?

The first one is correct as others have said, but the second one is not ambiguous enough to confuse anyone nor weird enough for anyone to bat an eye at, you’re fine with either.

Yeah I don’t have an answer for the thing you’re actually asking (sorry) but this is 100% a reasonable take and honestly I fully approve of their approach here. Strawberry is licensed under the GPL, it is libre software and can be packaged in any FOSS operating system without issue. This adds to the free software community. They are explicitly only selling to people who don’t value free software enough to use a free operating system.

And to be clear, I can guarantee that no one loses sleep over piracy of their GPL software, otherwise it wouldn’t be GPL. I see it more as a way for the devs to wash their hands of troubleshooting for operating systems they don’t want to care about - anyone on windows/mac who cares enough about strawberry to pay gets listened to, but otherwise you’ve created an easy excuse for ignoring the extra work.

As an aside it’s my preferred player on linux, good software.

Ladies.

Which is why they said the issue was torrenting and not using too much data. It’s an unlimited plan and they would never think to put a limit on data usage. They just object to torrenting and it’s pure coincidence that they only object to that when someone is using a lot of data.

I play games this way too, but I feel like the bigger factor in my playtime way higher than necessary is that I don’t want to miss any dialogue so I talk to every NPC until they repeat themselves. Most of the time that’s the second time you talk to them so I definitely get a lot out of that.
