Not sure about mastodon and piefed, but lemmy works just fine in a mobile browser, no other app needed.

Not if they also increase the value (like adding new TV shows).

I doubt that Apple is running your local weather station.

Yeah, but he’d still be dead. Being a martyr isn’t the opposite of that!

If they’re adding a label you can just use that label to block them with ublock.

Of course, though I’d be disappointed because that should be a given.

Yes. Because they can.

No, the worst games to lose in are luck-based games.

Don’t lump the normal users in with those crazies.

Only an American would think that the 24-hour clock has anything to do with the military.

Well yes, of course it is. It only a has a fraction of the user base.

That would be illegal though, above 6 hours of work you are required to take a 30 minutes break.

I could come in an hour late and skip lunch break to make it 9-to-5.

If you can just order it online it’s not illegal?

Yes. And the ones that don’t kill people as well.

Don’t they put plutonium reactors in space? Have to be able to cool those somehow?

The entire point of those is to produce heat to power a thermoelectric generator. And while most of the heat will be wasted, it is a rather small amount overall.

A data centre would require massive amounts of energy, most likely provided by solar panel arrays. Then the processors will convert all the energy to heat that has to go somewhere.

If you look at a spectrum with bad on one end and good on the other, then both “less bad” and “better” would describe a movement towards “good”. So they kind of are the same.

Agree and I probably wouldn’t want to be on an instance that uses it to heavily. Still think it’s a good option to have for people that want to run a more curated instance.

My cat would disagree!

That seems like something that is very reasonably within the discretion of an instance admin to do. Also pretty neat feature. Not a de-federation so you can still interact with users from that instance, but it doesn’t push your own users into communities on problem instances.
