That's a deep cut.

Presumably because you're protecting yourself rather than the "clients"?

I have the same problem even after unchecking read posts. Of course, it's a bug either way. In the meantime I just always click the save post button so my posts show up there instead.

The real reason was that Gollum couldn't fly. If they flew there, Frodo would have claimed the ring and that would be that.

The explanation for why Gandalf chose not to fly is up for question, but ultimately irrelevant.

Can you clarify? If my instance doesn't have custom emojis, it's safe?

Planetina from Rick and Morty would just straight up murder the biggest offenders.

Well, I just made hobbit.world and intend to only have Tolkien related communities there. So block away if that's not your thing. However, the only way to block an instance is to defederate and that's kind of harsh. Hopefully the feature of blocking communities by instance is added.

This sort of stuff is crucial and needs to be built in.

Most instances are one user's whim away from going away. This isn't a problem as long as clients back things up and migration is easy. But, that doesn't happen right now.

Guarantee we'll see some big news at points in the future when a big instance goes down because the owner died or just lost interest.

Again, these are easily overcome, but they are issues right now.

Actually, clicking those links actually works! Hooray!

I was under the impression that you were supposed to be able to search for "!hobbit_art@hobbit.world" in the community search bar and find things there. Now that I know it works, I've found that simply modifying the community url also works. So going to: https://lemmy.world/c/hobbit_art@hobbit.world actually jumps me right to it.

So, looks like it was already working. Thanks!

Yep, I used the Atlas pretty extensively to figure things out for the video. It's an amazing resource.

Agree about the comparison with music. I wonder why we didn't see balkanization there like we do for video.

Awesome! I was hoping this would be possible. I plan to host my own instance hobbit.world and would need to migrate everything.

Also, I'll defederate any corporate instances. No need to encourage bad actors.

Cable cost well over $100 a month many years ago when I cancelled it. And 1/3 of the content is commercials.

Pretty sure you could subscribe to every major streaming service for less than that. And as long as you avoid Hulu, you won't see commercials.

Things are WAY better now, even though it was better a little while ago when there was just Netflix.

The Curta calculator is a marvel of engineering made by a guy who developed it while imprisoned by Nazis.

You specify numbers on the side and spin the handle up top to add them. You multiply numbers by specifying one number on the side then spinning the handle and rotating the collar.

Hard to describe via text. But there are lots of YouTube videos about it.

This particular model is special because it's a cutaway model meant for demonstrating how it works internally. It's a rare version of an already rare calculator and I absolutely love it.

The Curta feels so tactile in the way it works. You can feel the numbers being added when you rotate the handle and feel the zip of the mechanical parts interacting.

I actually cannot rewatch that movie because of her. Infuriating.

Whoa, that shrug guy loses his backslash arm in Lemmy too? It's a reddit flashback!

Can you repair Curtas? I think there's a niche market demand for that. I'd certainly want it if mine ever broke.

Walkabout Golf in VR. Simple enough for family members, but challenging even for gamers.

The same science has happened in two places at once before. Lots of people rush to publish to avoid getting scooped.

Religion is just fiction, so this has not happened there. Heck, Joseph Smith couldn't even invent his religion twice without messing things up.

Maybe not precisely the same as the quote, but it's pretty similar. If there was a true religion, you'd expect it to have happened many times identically all over the world.

Looks partially resolved. Got rid of road markings, but incorrect blue left signs remain.

No different than email. That's why domains should be displayed in clients for users.

Is there a stallmanwasright community here yet? This would fit in there.

There are so many responses for Bitwarden that I am suspicious. Is it just that popular, or is this some sort of astroturfing? I didn't think Lemmy was popular enough to attract that, but who knows.

Well then, I unironically want that!

Too much arguing in discussion forums and not enough relaxed fun.

Every user on threads has something in common. They were stupid enough to join threads.

I'm depriving myself of nothing by defederating that mess.

Can we use ai to judge emotional content of threads so I can get recommendations for threads where people are relaxed and happy?

Absolutely. Gonna set up my own Lemmy instance so I can defederate any corporate instance. If other people want to accept their smallpox blankets, that's on them.

Whoa there! This is a thread for naming bad games. Satisfactory is an amazing crafting game. I didn't get bored until level 8 when the amount of material required to finish just got insane. But it is the end of the game, so I understand why it's like that.

I'm trying to figure out how massive gravity could be proven. I found an article about a theoretical photon gravity wave detector that could possibly prove it.

Not sure how soon such a detector might exist.

Clients at the very least have a list of all subs. That'd be a minimal but still useful level of migration capability. Blocked subs and users, I don't know.

I assumed you were talking about snoring.

Are they all gone? I can't find them on eBay.

Oh yes. I LOVE the Stormlight books.

The Robert Jordan Wheel of Time books. By book 7 I hated the main characters and really hated the writing style. The repetition. The repetition. The repetition...

The Sanderson books were ok, but they couldn't rescue the series and I got no joy from finishing it. A lot of relief though to be done with it.

MineTest is better anyway. If you miss it, play that instead.

Meh. I was there 15 years. I'm not missing anything by being here instead. Heck, I feel like here is the more exciting place to be!

I have usb-c chargers scattered around the house so that I can charge whatever I have (phone, iPad, Switch) wherever I am. Prefer a single standard, whatever it is.

BTW, of they ask why I'm in such a hurry, I'll say I have a Brewster's Millions situation and hope they'd seen the movie. We could relax after the deal was done.

Too many answers trying to game the system. Have fun with it!

If this was earlier in the day, I would drive to a pinball arcade that is maybe 40 minutes away, and offer them the entire million for every pinball machine they had. Hopefully the owner could be contacted and close the deal within the remaining 20 minutes.

I wish there would be time to buy a boat. I know nothing about sailing or maintaining a boat, but I would love to just drive to a marina and just get a 50 foot sailing boat.

Do different paints dry brush differently? I guess that's kind of the same question. I'll just have to experiment.
