Any resources to pick this up that you can share?

The hard flat back gives your flesh something to press up against when pinching. Imagine pulling a hair out of your arm with your fingers. Easy, right? Now imagine pulling a hair out of your arm with your lips.

Are...Your fingers boneless? For awhile I kept my fingernails cut probably far too short and didn't have too much trouble pulling the occasional arm hairs. That said, point stands regarding picking up smaller stuff, and I appreciate the amusing visual and nail enthusiasm!

What’s your purpose for doing so?

Curiosity, of course!

Could you provide an example image of the sort of tote bag you're mildly confused by?

Has anyone tried making a spinning wheel of people associated with communities looking to change moderators and letting it determine who takes on the responsibilities?

Only an existential crisis? What about existential crises?

 

If sociology's exclusive to humans, then what might be the field of other social animal research?

...Does anyone have data on how many people still use checks?

 

Cross-posting has struck me as a little strange and I think maybe this is a part of it.

Doesn't it benefit larger communities more than smaller ones by keeping the activity in a larger one, since they can comment there rather than go to the smaller community? 🤔

I'm thinking of ways to help people move from established software to more open, flexible forms that don't lock them to another organization.

And what do you think helped keep the group work from falling into the stereotypical exercise in frustration?

 

Sometimes I feel like if I do so I'm basically serving as an ad, and I don't really care for that, especially if later I find that the business was scummy in some ways (which is often the case, especially later as it changes leadership/ownership).

If you do, how do you deal with it?

New users have no idea which instance to join. In the absence of any way to differentiate between instances, they go with the most popular one, or the one they’ve heard of the most, or the one that sounds vaguely official or “vanilla”. Lemmy.world is the obvious choice for these users.

It's a little less the case with Lemmy and other less popular fediverse stuff, but isn't a large number of vague/general purpose instances a contributor to this? In other words, wouldn't more focused instances help reduce this problem?

A big benefit of federation shines with topic-focused instances in that it ensures an already curated local feed to your main interest (or interests), meanwhile remaining able to connect with and discuss more general interest stuff via home and federated feeds.

Will this grant us eyes within? Will the veils dissipate and reveal the world in itself?

Would you happen to know if it's available for purchase on any storefronts?

I know, I know, but haven't you wanted to jot down some pseudocode while out and about, formatted neatly, so you could pop it over to your main machine to turn into working code?

[...] I just want to point out that automating things that exist purely in the digital domain is far easier than automating things like ship breaking.

Not that you're saying otherwise, however isn't that even more of a reason more developers and resources should be allocated toward automating complex and risky physical processes?
