This. It almost only applies to desk jobs. Production workers can’t just work a day less and keep the same output, and if they can’t do it, people like me who are responsible for keeping the production running as part of their job(electrician in my case) also can’t work a day less.
If companies wanted to do this, they’d have to hire more workers to give everyone a 4 day week. But all this would do is create more costs for the company
Voyager is all you’ll ever need^^
Has she tried turning it on the other side yet?
Yeah where I live, there’s a bus every 2 hours that needs ~30 minutes to get to where I work. If I took that, I’d have to walk an additional 15 minutes to my actual workplace and I’d still be an hour too early.
And after work, I’d have to again walk 15 minutes to the bus stop and wait another 30 minutes for the bus home.
So between leaving my house and coming back home, there’d be ~11.5 hours. When I use my car, that’s ~9.5 hours.

Most of the sets I own have a hole in them, so I think for the scenario that the average person does actually have a torx set, the chance is pretty high that it’s also one that they can use on those “security” torx screws. So I don’t see them that much more secure than regular torx. The only reason I could think of is that you also can use a normal screwdriver to unscrew a torx, which is harder to do with that extra pin. But it can still be done^^
Not what I said, but okay…
So you think that being a nazi automatically means that every view you have on anything is bad by default or that you are not able to participate in any normal conversations that don’t touch that topic, like technology or gaming, without writing racist stuff?
Because that would be the only reason defederation would be justified in my eyes.
In any other case, just don’t visit their home instance.
If a bunch of nazis want to run a server and post racist shit all day we can’t stop them. But we can (and should) defederate from them. They can have their own private island.
And what if they post racist shit all day on their own instance but also post normal and helpful stuff on communities of other instances?
Just don’t visit their communities, that’s it. No need to block potentially helpful posts of members of that instance everywhere.
The same thing when there’s a NSFW and your own instance doesn’t want to see NSFW stuff. That’s fine but it’s not like the users of that NSFW instance are running around posting porn on every other community.
If some of them do, block the users. But there’s no reason defederating the whole instance because those users can and do also participate just fine in other topics that have nothing to do with NSFW or nazi stuff.
For example why should a programmer that has a nazi instance as his home not be allowed to post memes in a community about programming humour from a regular instance, when he doesn’t post anything there that is in any way related to him being a nazi?
we’ve been blocked by precisely one actual instance - the predominantly German-speaking feddit.de
Which also was my first home instance until I noticed that a comment chain I accidentaly started using another lemmy instance was not visible when looking at the thread though feddit. Not even my own comments made with an instance that wasn’t blocked. Turns out the user I answered to start that chain was a member of your instance and thus the comment and everything following it was not visible for feddit users.
Which is why I’m a full time lemm.ee user for now bc at the time it had 0 blocked instances and was blocked by 0 too^^
and most importantly, the admins here have explicitly stated that the policy is to avoid defederation at all possible avenues.
That’s the policy of lemm.ee too. It has 34 blocked instances right now but those are all suspicious ones that formed and got >30K users within a couple hours and no activity at all.
But ultimately, new users shouldn’t have to worry about such things, which is why I can’t see Lemmy growing as a whole with the tools available now.
Everywhere it says it’s not relevant where you sign up because you can see all the stuff from other instances anyway, but that’s simply not true, it DOES matter where you sign up and even after that you could be forced to change your instance when the defederation roulette starts spinning again.
and most importantly, the admins here have explicitly stated that the policy is to avoid defederation at all possible avenues.
It just looks like an actual app and not like a tab in your browser(no adress bar for example), plus you can access it quickly that way without having to navigate your browser tabs
It seems that Kbin is also the better entry point for most former reddit users because even if it has different instances too, it’s not that spread out like Lemmy is so new users have less to worry about and can discover the Fediverse more as they go
Return to it and have my knowledge of all the positive and negative aspects erased would be something I’d consider. But having used all the technology for so long, I couldn’t imagine just don’t having it anymore tomorrow
I had a Sony Xperia Z3 which had its charging port and sim tray covered by small pieces attached to the case that had rubber on them so you could open it and use the port and then seal it again. It also had a magnetic charging port that didn’t need water protection.
But iirc, it was said that the waterproof rating was only true as long as you didn’t use these pieces^^
I can think of a design where the battery just sits tight against the top part of the smartphone and you could remove the bottom part with 2 screws (whichs holes aren’t open to the inside of the phone) to spring it out like an SD-Card. That bottom part would just need to have rubber on the inside edges
And had you been on an instance that was defederated you’d have to create another account to acces their community, just like a separate forum, which I exaplained in the other post would be the better choice.
Because it doesn’t make sense to have that kind of manual approval registration system aimed to only have specific users in the community that share their values, so they clearly want to crontrol who can and cannot post there… and then being on a plattform where users can just join another instance or even create an instance for their own and then post what they want on beehaw and the only way to prevent this would be proactively blocking all other instances and working with a whitelist instead.
I know that, my point is that they don’t have the tools to do anything other than defederation right now.
If any users from other instances than those two act in the same way and they happen to be from other big instances, they’d have to defederate those too, because they have no other tools available.
And they knew they won’t have other tools availalbe when they created their instance, so they should’ve created such a platform in a place where they actualy had the tools to run it like they want.
Which would’ve been a classical forum in my view.
Like they want to have a community where they can proactively prevent people from posting offensive things.
That would be the ideal case for a forum where you have a manual registration proccess like they have now here. Because here their registration process doesn’t help when you can just comment from another instance.
Which is why I’ll say it again and again, the fediverse might’ve been the wrong choice for building a community like they want
Did that with lemmy, but at least in my case it just happens too often that I get an infinite loading circle when switching threads and then I have to reload the entire page, which isn’t possible when not in the real browser. Even closing the web app and reopening them doesn’t help but once I open the page in Safari it works just fine.
Mlem for iOS just got an update which gives us the compact thread style I much prefer over the current web app look but it seems like I can’t edit comments there and I also don’t see any notifications so there’s still a lot of work to be done before it becomes an option.
And kbin I just don’t use on the phone at all as long as we can’t collapse comment chains.
Posting would work just as it works now, the difference is how easy you can view the different communities. The idea is that it’s just like if you were for example just subscribed to different tech communities from other instances. Now you can switch your view to subscribed to only see all those tech threads.
The problem is when you are subscribed to more than just those tech communities, you can’t filter your view so that you still only have those tech communities on your page.
Multi-subreddits would do just that. You could group different communities together and view them as you view your subscribed list, only now you can have multiple of those lists with different communities in them
Afaik „magazines“ are just Lemmys „communities“ or reddits „subreddits“
So was this before or after his relationship with the couch?
