  Agreed. Start mining the border.

  I mean, I don’t know that ALL of them work that way, but the ones I’ve seen do. I have mixed feelings about the whole scenario.

  It’s usually done by posing as a teenager in chats, then they get confronted at the meet-up.

  Pretty solid way to identify the right person.

  You mean, A Ryan Soldier?

  Haha! I jumped ship after the API ruckus. Before the NSFW filter was readily available I blocked a lot of porn communities before I had a feed I could browse at work.

  Ummm…. Nobody wants this. Rosie Jetson is the ideal household helper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sounds crazy but... maybe you shouldn't delete Facebook just yet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been posting about it periodically.

  I’m pushing the “buy Canadian” angle by promoting Fedecan, the non-profit running Lemmy.ca and now Pixelfed.ca.

  Also, reminding people that American companies are making money off your data, so these servers are Canadian owned social media, in a way.

  I still have no followers on Pixelfed, but 🤷‍♂️

  In Canada it still seems to be labelled The Gulf of Mexico

  Ha! “Cuz she asked.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy New Year! Thought I'd share my new year's resolution to the people here⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m thinking for more like an interactive display at a museum or something of the sort… something you’re not meant to see the whole picture at once.

  Maybe an “aquarium” “full” of extinct species that you could walk around. 🤷‍♂️

  Good don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm just a 20 year old guy, AMA⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you tried cocaine yet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy New Year! Thought I'd share my new year's resolution to the people here⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  8k would be useful for giant screens that people are going to see up close.

  Also, if your target is a lower resolution you can shoot wide and adjust your framing later without missing your target res. Probably most useful for nature programs.

  But yeah, you don’t need it at home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yo, Duplo, what you doing on the 24th?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is pretty fucking sick

  But that’s not what happened. They literally disappeared, along with the gut biome

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Max is getting ready for its own password-sharing crackdown⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I cancelled all my streaming services. Between Tubi, the library, and the occasional torrent I’m covered thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting. Sounds nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah apartments don’t usually pay for water or heat where I live. It’s also a huge waste of water

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really an answer to your question, but if you live somewhere that freezes think about where your pipes are.

  You gotta heat the bathroom and kitchen and any other rooms that may have pipes running through them.

  Or, you could leave your taps trickling, but that expensive too.

  Whoa, SkyNet doesn’t need terminators. It can just bully us in to killing ourselves.
