Not to downplay any of the myriad problems here in the USA, but I think many of us are trying to believe that a better world is possible and this sometimes leads to unrealistic views of how much better things are abroad. Sometimes.

But I am hopeful that this country is increasingly humiliated for at least a couple of decades.

Another way to tell the difference is tasting them

That’s scummy, but I don’t care if your ads for amazon on your blog or whatever don’t work. Not my problem.

you’re

Joyful happiness can really only be fleeting, it’s not really an end goal.

That’s the Australian possum! A cutie but a different animal from the Virginia opossum. I’m not sure they make any sounds at all, honestly.

Edit: Apparently they make similar hostile noises? Interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqHyBZkYafc

Some people get really bent out of shape that not every instance is exactly the same as lemmy.world, cheer-leading for the exact same worldview. They are intellectually brittle and emotionally weak, so when they don’t see the same group-think taking over somewhere they can’t control they need to post something like “BUT WE ALL HATE THEM OVER THERE, RIGHT FELLAS?! WE GOOD, THEM BAD! LET’S DE-FEDERATE!”

Nobody has any reason to trust the United States no matter who is in charge, correct.

As opposed to news from the united states, which is certified good and true and democratic

Completing the ethnic cleansing of the region is a long-standing goal and it isn’t yet complete.

Almost 30 years and still basically useless.

The last time I tried that getting google play services working was a long, annoying process and did not work. I don’t expect google to make any of that easy for us.

I have never contributed to an open source project before, so if we exclude the third part this is the reverse of my habits. The stuff I do for work is bare minimum garbage, I freely admit. I really do not like my employer.

I’m a good enough software engineer that this isn’t true. I bet I get paid a lot more than you. 😎

(The above statement is not a truthful statement.)

If there’s a technological solution, maybe it’s to allow admins to make moderatorship automatically expire, leaving the community up for grabs, under certain circumstances. The ability to exempt communities and/or users from this might be helpful.

Otherwise you just gotta ask the admins. Lemmy.ml has a community specifically for requesting dormant communities, for instance, and unless things have changed that’s how it worked on Reddit.

I am also helping to destroy the world

And that basically confirms that it’s a remaining problem with admin accounts taking remote mod actions. l suppose in the mean time I’ll try to have an admin at lemmy.ml give my @bilb@lemmy.ml account moderator status as a workaround. The other original moderator who could do it isn’t very active.

I couldn’t find an open bug ticket for this on Github, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one. I’ll take another look and report it if I still can’t find anything.

I’m pretty satisfied with Kagi after using it for a bit over two months.

just keep coding, your employer will outsource you the very moment i seems convenient

I remember thinking it was bizarre how angry people seemed to be about that, like it was a huge scandal. It doesn’t matter, it’s not important! Go do something else!
