It’s so prevalent we can literally say “I’ll verb your noun” and it still gets the point across.

We do, though it is a recent thing.

Me, too, when I used to sell my old crap on eBay. I feel like it’s just common courtesy. Basically I’d go an hour before they closed and ship out all the orders for the day.

She’s got an attorney and they’re trying to stop it based on that, but it just seems like everyone involved (edit: besides her) just doesn’t give a fuck.

It’s a lot like another commenter mentioned about eminent domain. It can be used for good (roads, fiber deployments, district heating, etc) but also for things not so good (data centers, etc).

I went out of my way to find a house that didn’t even have a vestigial HOA deed restriction, so I get that. But when a private citizen donates something to the local municipality, it’s pretty egregious to not honor those restrictions, especially for things that may take a while to develop.

I’d donate my share of my family’s farmland to build a park, but I wouldn’t sell it for all the money in the world to build a datacenter or landfill or anything else, really.

Even if they didn’t do her dirty, she wouldn’t. She donated it to the city and relinquished ownership of it. The expectation, even written into the deed, was that the land was to be used as a park, but they turned around and sold it multiple times. Despite the stipulation in the original deed to the parks and recreation department, the data center is still going forward.

The story is just such a tragedy all around.

My takeaway is that I’m gonna start calling no-bake cookies “no bakies”.

If I understand correctly:

“Ask” is for more open ended questions (The vague “what do you think about” posts like you mentioned). Posts that are asking for a simple / single answer are generally removed for not being open ended. The question is more for discussion.

Here you can ask things that are less open ended and/or are looking for a single or simple answer.

Nope.

We live in a society, and as far as I’m concerned, stealing the person behind you’s very limited leg room is selfish.

I’ve only seen it in a you’re selling yourself short fashion.

Yeah, that’s usually how I see it, or maybe just how I’ve always interpreted it.

A question can be a shower thought, especially if it’s a rhetorical question.

Not to mention, the Philosophical Raptor meme format is pretty much just interrogative shower thoughts

They have a lot of DRM-free options and let you download a clean epub, but like with other stores, it’s up to the publishers whether (and/or when) they can sell them without DRM BS.

I like being able to download the epubs directly so I can put them on my Calibre-web instance and pull them to my Kobo or my phone or whatever I want to read on.

I just use the webapp UI and don’t bother with the clients/extensions. Easy enough to just log in, copy/paste from there.

But yeah, the official client (and probably browser extension as well) would probably be forked if/when needed.

I use Vaultwarden

I used to watch that all the time when it was randomly on - never in the same timeslot, and I think the local network just used it as filler - but I always forget that it existed until someone randomly mentions it.

We had that show. It was called “Star Trek: Voyager” but she went by “Janeway”.

I’m about to have my house powered by fusion energy.

Nice. I’ve pretty much just used LibreTranslate for that, but will check that out and see if it works any better.

I’m not anti-AI, but I am very much anti Big AI and also don’t personally care for AI-generated images (they just look…uncanny to me), so I don’t have much interest in anything beyond the tools I can run locally.

Searching “AI” has a lot of false positives, but searching “llama” has some results at https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=llama
