Apparently a new legal policy in Australia that mandates app stores there to verify age somehow to access mature content took effect (end of grace period) a couple days ago on Sep 9 2026.

Over the various years growing up, I’m friendly with a lot of people, but I keep in touch with a select few from each time period, and they tend to keep me in the loop of the goings on in that circle.

And many of these good friends I am currently physically far away from, I try to make the effort to go and visit them, and invite them over if they ever consider coming to where I live.

Sorry I misread. I wonder is poptalk scrubbles is still active? Whatever you consider small I’m not really setting a strict standard

Many people had good suggestions

here were some of my favourites

I refuse to ignore you! You’re doing great, keep it up!

That piece of information seems like key context. 1Password didn’t just give money simply because they like the product. More or less, it’s product placement in return for funding.

I’m on the fence if that’s better or worse.

For sure. There’s no specific way you have to track your progress for it to count.

You can ask the account @remindme@mstdn.social. not sure if it can handle a Linux epoch time that far out in the future.

I’m not entirely certain. What I have tried is ordering custom massive hot balls of plasma in space for everyone, but I’ve learned the waitlist is a few billion years long.

Smallish and only occasionally active:

• !hopeposting@lemmy.world
• !boardgames@sopuli.xyz
• !betterment@beehaw.org
• !corvids@lemmy.world

Very Small (~100 subscribers): !trainscanada@lemmy.ca !chatter@lemmy.ca - one of the comms basically only I’ve posted to in the last 3 years

How about… Copilot Microsoft Copilot Office365 Copilot Outlook (new) (Copilot web)?

1 person using this software will count as 4 Copilot users in investor metrics, of course.

Maybe the problem was with the wording all along. Republicans might be able to get behind an American Prosperity Fee (on wealth).

LiveThreadBot@sopuli.xyz did provide live scores for me during the FIFA World Cup. I did try to come out and comment on a couple threads. So a score of 1.1 out of 2 on this criteria?

Every municipality is different.

Some do nothing except beep and vibrate for visually impaired people. That style, try holding it down for 3 seconds. When you get the walk sign you should get audio and tactile feedback.

Some lights will not change to walk unless you press the button. Some only exhibit the behaviour at night.

Here’s a video of Nic Laporte studying them in Vancouver, BC, and here we have Bike ones in addition to standard pedestrian ones.

I use Threadiverse to mean Lemmy Piefed Kbin and similar part of the Fediverse, nothing to do with Meta. I selected this terminology to differentiate it from microblogging platforms like Mastodon, though they are absolutely welcome to participate by posting to Lemmy and Piefed communities. With character limits and other structural design differences I suppose it is just a harder challenge. If you have suggestions for another name to describe topic-based online socializing I’m all ears.

Through the 10th proposed category, I’m hoping to make people aware of that connection to the wider Fediverse with links to Masto, PeerTube etc.

Threadtember is a neat name, I’ll see what catches on. Good luck with the move (and the challenge).

My first draft of the 10 categories:

Feedback welcome.

Update: Reception seems good. I’ll post something shortly here and on my home instance.

It should be highlighted that while the amount of people who left Reddit for alternatives might not have made a dent to Reddit in the long-run, it really was what brought Lemmy from a small experiment of a few hundred users with a few dozen active posters, to the thousands it is today.

It wasn’t just the user count that changed, a lot of earlier Lemmy bugs started getting attention due to the need to scale, many more apps and frontends started being developed at the time, the lemmy community is multipolar, so it’s not dependent on just .world or .ml, and compatible but separate implementations like kbin and piefed were developed. These are all benefits to an open ecosystem that you could argue stemmed from that protest. You can forget about needing to fix Reddit now if you want, because with enough effort, Lemmy is an adequate replacement.

I do watch some videos at 1.5x speed…

Louis Rossman ranting at 1.0x is the equivalent of anybody else at 1.5x
