- Comment on Activity Pub: Can I join a PeerTube or Mastodon server using a Lemmy account? 21 hours ago:
In my opinion this is the biggest shortcoming of the ActivityHub ecosystem. That’s not to say it should have been solved by now, since I don’t know how to decentralize authentication safely. And after using it for a while I’m not sure I want a single account.
But it is a challenge facing newcomers and those trying to recruit them. This group of services is already tough to explain sometimes, and telling them it all interconnects just muddies the waters when you have to explain that it’s not the way they expect.

As someone who worked at a gas station for many years, I definitely don’t miss this. For some reason the Women’s room was always consistently bad (I assume because they all hovered) while the Men’s room was relatively easy to clean.
But every week or so there was something like the image in the Men’s room that made me regret being born. I’m sure there’s a lesson in there about outliers messing up the average or something.

Outlook does too. Basically the only thing Microsoft has gotten right because it has saved me 100% of the times I forgot.

The science seems to indicate this has the potential to fix a lot of illnesses, but I am beyond skeptical of anyone claiming that it can cure mental illness. Especially something as complex as bipolar disorder.
- Comment on "I swear if that fly gets in my fucking ear again I'm burning the building down with both of us in it" 1 month ago:
Happened to my sister when we were kids. She got a junebug in her ear and it went so deep you couldn’t see it. We filled her ear with peroxide, which seemed to kill it, but she still couldn’t hear.
The nurse said she was making it up and just had too much earwax. We did peroxide rinses every day until it fell out a week later. Probably not very safe to have a bug rotting inside you, but we already owed a couple hundred for the nurse to dismiss us so we definitely weren’t going back to the hospital.

I think most time machines are functionally teleporters as well, since they appear when and where you want. Being able to teleport into the oval office (and then back out) removes almost every barrier preventing them from doing something “which they could do right now”.

Are you masturbating at all? I can imagine being so horny that a porn subscription seems tempting, but masturbating would clear that up. It seems like you’ve skipped several levels and gone straight to the most expensive masturbation enhancement.

- Comment on I am looking to broaden my youtube channels that I follow. What female channel are you following? 2 months ago:
Mary’s Test Kitchen I’m not vegan, but I like the scientific approach she takes to testing recipes.
3x3 Custom Woodworking channel
The Octopus Lady fun deep dives into weird ocean critters.
antiheroines humerous but vulnerable reviews of lesser known horror/thriller movies.
This question made me realize that just over half of my subs are woman-run channels.

Yeah, I’ve got mine in my phone as “Don’t answer”, but she changes numbers a lot and borrows phones so I still fall for it sometimes if I’m expecting an important call and have to answer unknown numbers.

Also your data is meant to be private and accessed by a single person. Basically a big wall around your stuff with a single door.
Corporate data, by design, needs to be accessed by many people inside and outside the company. So they are adding another door for each person, department, or API that needs access. Even if the wall is higher and stronger, it’s still full of doors to try.
- Comment on Might be time to find another job 2 months ago:
At one of my previous jobs it was the head of HR stealing people’s food. Every time somebody complained he’d put up a sign and start “investigating”, but nothing ever came of it despite having cameras pointed at the fridge. Eventually someone got tired of it, put up their own camera, and caught the head of HR on camera a couple times. Apparently the president of the company didn’t care and brushed it off. I only found out because the guy with evidence blanket emailed the videos to the whole company. Of course he got written up for doing that.
- Comment on The bigger story about that Norwegian tourist 2 months ago:
I feel bad, because it is horrific and deeply concerning, but I lose it every time I see that picture in relation to this story. Something about the absurdity is absolutely perfect. I hope that tourist really did smile through the tears after seeing it again.
