thanks, doing that

thak you, it was less diy, more necessity making me work hard.

(we can still make fun of the og nodebb folks)

In my general socialist dream, all boring things should be non profit - education, healthcare, food (agriculture side, not th end product), water, electricity, land, communincations, transport (railway, busses), etc… Basically things where 2 people doing someething will likely not breed creativity, but only trying to beat the other will require doing things like advertising, and to maintain profits, you would have to cost cut. these things also happen to be necessities that everyone has, and so must be provided by govt, and covered by taxes.

as for examples, atleast in us (and a lot of world), most governments do not operate telecoms (the cellular service), even though it is a boring thing. in india (where i live), there is bsnl and mtnl, and pprovides a basic service, which not only keeps the for profit companies at their toes (technically they are not non-profit, at least not registered one, but they basically do not aim to make profits). another example is agriculture - it is often subsidised, and but it is still for profit. over here, we have large cooperatives (they are also not non profits, and they actually do make profits - thy just invest back into the cooperative) for dairy and agri industry, which not only helps farmers havee stable incomes, but they can often fall back on their saved profits. railways are often partly (or completely) govt owned (might not be the case in land of free, but i know of amtrak) so that is already a well known example - try to use all profits to maintain rail cars and tracks.

beyond these, things can be for profit (art or media for example), where 2 separate things can exist, do not (necessarily) eat each others business and often done for leisurely needs (not necessities)

As with all places on interent where you can post stuff, there are memes - start with them. find your favorite meme community, and since on pieffed, you can explore user made feeds (meta communities if you will) where you can select interests and get relevant community content getting delivered.

Our vacuum pump for a machine got better. we had a leak and could not maintain pressure for long, but that got fixed by changing a pipe, and for the rest, changing/cleaning o rings and just doing that same thing 4-5 times produced different results. now reaches much closer to expected value. (leaving out details for privacy reason, but it is a scientific equipment that it connects too)

what does i0 even mean, like what is the sign even for

they are technically correct, the best kind of correct

reason for them not appearing is that xmpp is a largely relaxed platform, that is, all implementations are not equally strict. some may implement certain extensions, others may implement other. encryption (omemo) is a common one that most implement, but then client (the user apps like gajim) may or may not implement them correctly, or they may have a fallback (first communication between 2 clients maybe is not encrypted), and other different problems with encryption being flaky (firstly, it is not perfect forward secrecy, it is a bit prone to failure (messages unable to decrypt), etc.), hence it is not recommended much.

sometimes all you can think is how much info we lost, and if we could have progressed at a better rate than current time line

like find a video where you commented from peertube, and the same link was posted on piefed, and there your comment shows up in grouped view (from all crossposts)

can you try to find your peertube profile in a piefed post? if so, there you can check user profile, cause effectively all peertube videos are posts in piefed (threadiverse land).

i tried doing that, and found my profile at https://piefed.social/u/sga@peertube.wtf, so maybe just do a simple url check. you will only get videos you commented on and not likes

i have heard somewhere that the amount of books that were there - it took days (closer to week, maybe more, allegedly) for books to burn, that is the amount of stuff that was burnt.

you may have read too short a version - the best i can do is a watch some 240 hour video adaptation, which is non canonical as hell, and a russian dub is available online.

as some one who knows it somewhat -

it’s unclear why seemingly every leader in the world cares enough about the brothers’ conflict to send their forces and have them all die

it was a bit more than brothers conflict, think more in line of atla - who should be fire king - ozai or zuko (ccomparison is fair because both are fantasies).

it’s unclear why seemingly every leader in the world cares enough about the brothers’ conflict to send their forces and have them all die

that is mostly heavy exxageration.

depending on “stuff” total death toll of battle could be in range of 100,000. but basically putting any number is just as wrong.

there is a very famous salt march related to moment - dandi march

That would be great if it works on redmi stuff. Basically my last blocker (outside of some banking stuff, which i do not even have installed right now)

as someone who is doing some kind of science - titles are a lot more fancier and designd for absurdity. Often, the decision to perform something is a lot more logical than dciding random animals to test from. for example, some of the people from their group may already have been studying that specific frog line for some reason (maybe for it’s gut only), for example, they may have observed that these frogs live a long life or something, then they decided to find why is that, and may hav ecome to conclusion that it is this gut bacterium. or maybe they may hav eknown of this bacterium, and found out where they could source more of this.

but sometimes, it is totally random luck, lik you accidentally messed up experiement, and spilled some unrelated gut juice from a frog from a separate experiment, and it just so have happened to worked, so you now studied it closely.

I have absolutely no idea what may have happened in this one, and i am not a biologist, so do not know what is the usual way, but it is usually among these.

roughly in the same boat as you, but all i would say is - if it is something meaningful (like educational, pop sci, or if entertainment, then healthy kind (and not so 1 $ vs 1000 $ thing comparison)), then it is fine. If you are still able to reason, still able to maintain focus on important stuff, then it is fine.

You can install a browser eextension (i think name is kiwix only) which can load offline zim files. problem is that ux is very bad (you need to load a zim file each time, or manually change). on desktop, my answer was to manually unpack all zim files (using zimutils) and then arrange them in a controlled dir structure, then recompress them into a mountable file format, and separately, maintain a list of all files in side, and while using, i have something hand rolled to mount the archive, select suitable file, and open in browser - yes it is a lot of work, but i do kinda have a offline search engine now.

as a mod - that is too demeaning of others

as a general person - (agrees)
