I mean, yeah. That isn’t necessarily the point here, though. There’s a lot of frustration surrounding the need for private trackers and we could maybe solve that here.

maybe we make a usenet group as well?

I believe that this, particularly, is why many fast food restaurants are closing way earlier than they did several years ago. No, it isn’t because of the pandemic. It’s because someone (Gen Z) finally got fed up with the bullshit of managers dictating when they can work as opposed to a fixed schedule. No, no one should ever have to bear the burden of “picking up a shift” - that’s just shitty management and has been for around 60 years. We’ve all just bowed our heads and accepted that we need a job. Gen Z said, collectively, “Wait, what?” and the world will be better for it. Under no circumstance should someone ever be forced to work 2nd shift one day and early mornings the next.

My biggest gripe with Organic Street Maps (and every OSM) client that I’ve tried is that I can’t find a way to display the destination address when I get close. I do some delivery work and that drives me crazy. Otherwise, it’s great.

No. Hard to do when there was no way to identify them. I mouthed off at a gas station, and before I could react, a dude jumped out of a truck and assaulted me.

This is all funny until you do it. Trying this kind of shit in 2009 as I was starting to fully transition got me a full swing baseball bat to my hip. I laid there for maybe 30 mins before I could crawl to a phone.

From a safety standpoint, please don’t do this. Just flip them off as you walk away and then vote as if your life depends on it, because it just may.

I will when I can. They are in a storage unit that I can get to on Saturday at best and I will have to dig through stuff. There is also a fair chance of my memory failing because it has been 25 years.

Thanks. That helps quite a bit. The internet’s fury has made me question whether I am correct in this regard countless times, but I still have textbooks that say that the usage in this meme is correct. I’ve been curious for a long time.

Ok, this is a personal thing for me. It might be just UK/Europe (I don’t know) that rejects this use of the apostrophe in this case. Throughout my North American (US, specifically) education into collegiate level English courses I was taught to use an apostrophe to pluralize initialisms and acronyms specifically. If it is not an initialism or acronym, carry on with just adding an “s.”

If there is an actual problem within this US variation of English that I have been taught, please let me know, because it’s become frustrating to see things such as: “you don’t need that apostrophe,” and “this is a sin against the apostrophe” etc. etc.

I’m not trying to be critical or harsh here, just get a better understanding.

iirc it is during install now. You have to do things that are way beyond the average user’s knowledge or ability to enable a local account.

I mean sure, that would be great, but I don’t have that.

I had to look it up myself.

Textured or texturized vegetable protein (TVP), also known as textured soy protein (TSP), soy meat, or soya chunks, is a defatted soy flour product, a by-product of extracting soybean oil. It is often used as a meat analogue or meat extender. It is quick to cook, with a protein content comparable to some meats.

It is an issue for me because the only machine I have is my daily driver laptop, and I’d really rather not take up even that 35GB if it can be helped.

OK, this bot is very useful. Thanks to … whoever.

You are quite right in that it is not a cheap VMS. Since I don’t know 100% how to set thing up, though, the cost might be worth my time.

I may just pay for it and report back as a service to the community.

Ok, but I’ve only a remote idea of what you’re saying. Can you elaborate?

Thanks, I’ll look into this stuff.

I’ve been waiting for the free Oracle cloud to open up (I know that’s super rare). Is there a goof VPS you can recommend?

Yeah, that’s partially why I’d need info as to if this Lemmy host is legit. I have the domain (technically), and if the price jumps I’d be ok with that. I paid upfront for a couple years at $1/yr. Yeah, the registrar might screw me over, but at the price I’ve paid, there’s not a lot of risk. I really need feedback on the Lemmy host.
