Okay for anyone who is fried at the moment like I am, map-wiki IS NOT ABOUT GEOGRAPHY.

I can co-sign this if we can agree that some types of ‘disagreements’ don’t belong on the fediverse, a la the Nazi bar problem.

Another terrible death related thing: after a while, sometimes after bad news you’ll think “I’m glad [person] didn’t have to live to see this.”

I mean, I didn’t make it up, that’s the dictionary definition of Anglo for American English speakers. I don’t disagree with any of your points, it’s just news to me that “Anglo” is also used to mean “anyone who speaks English”.

You specified Anglo, which is a racial/ethnic group?? I have never heard anyone use Anglo to mean anything other than white people.

I live in southern California and have never noticed a racial aspect to this, most people thank the driver. Either when boarding or just calling out ‘thank you!’ as they leave through the back.

Do you work with younger kids? I have an in-law who teaches middle school and is generally pulling his hair out over lack of parental involvement. Kid-wranglers deserve all the thanks!

They held a vote after insisting for ages that it was a ‘small minority’ of users that had a problem with it. It wasn’t 90/10, but it wasn’t 50/50 either.

Oh, and they only held the vote after jordanlund claimed he would get demodded by the admins if he removed the bot. And when someone pinged an admin they said they had no idea how he got that impression, lol.

Nope, your first instinct is right, it’s a spammer. But it’s one of the few specific spammers that almost everyone has run into on lemmy, so it’s just a joke. Like saying you met a Nigerian prince who offered you a huge sum of money.

Both? I have three. Are there more?

Wait, the Mozilla guy who got pressured to resign over opposition to gay marriage is the Brave guy?? Fuck him lol.

Unsurprising he’s also a dipshit about COVID.

You’ll be sorry when one day that plastic bag that wasn’t in the path yesterday jumps up and kills you!

I could be wrong but I had thought I read that it was the same chucklefucks behind both variations, if that’s the one that came up for vote… I don’t even remember how long ago, time is meaningless now.

They want to do gerrymandering but by creating new states instead of within a state. They want to make the population centers their own states and make multiple states out of the rural areas, which vote as red as some red states. Which is just a convoluted way of adding more Republican senators.

Yeah, to me this seems like another variation of that movement that’s constantly trying to get California to pass a bill to split it into multiple states. Which, wouldn’t you know, just happens to favor the Republicans!

Thanks for the info!

Oooh, is it subscribing that starts up federation of community content and not searching for it? For some reason I was under the impression that just putting the !communityname@instance into the search bar did it

None of that is showing up on my instance, is this just federation being slow on one end or the other? The announcement post you linked isn’t loading for me, either.

Excited DIYers running out before doing research: please note that in a medical setting something like half of potential donor poops wind up rejected because of unsuitable bacteria living in the gut that could make you sick.

The screencap in the article looks pretty dark to me? Is there something that needs to be dark that the example pic doesn’t show? Asking as someone that turns everything to dark mode.
