holy crap there is a starlink alternative? Do they work in the US? I would love high speed internet at my house but Im in the sticks I get the most attenuated DSL signal allowed. Last I looked into starlink there was concerns about the long term viability of the technology. If I remember right, the network would get congested pretty easily. That plus Musk had me shying away, but if there is an alternative....

I think the community subscription model in the article fixes this (imperfectly). Pancakepurists@a.com can have strict rules while pancakeparty@b.com could subscribe to it and pancakepurists could subscribe back with the understanding that the rules are slightly different there. Pancakechaos@nazi.assholes could similarly link to both those without either having to be mutually interactive.

I think the problem comes from some increased moderation loads by allowing a community to follow another. If I were to put on my paranoid hat it could be used to monitor and brigade a community. I think the solution for that is moderation tools. Banning instances, federation etc. I'm not a mod anywhere so I don't know what is possible.

Personally I think proposal 2 and 3 should happen concurrently. Using the example in the post I would setup a custom feed (that can hopefully consolidate cross posts) for breakfast. I would put pancakes@a.com which subscribes to pancakemasters@b.com I can also add pancakeart@a.com and waffles@a.com. so when someone posts about the best homemade peanut butter syrup recipe that is cross posted to my pancake and waffle communities, I don't get 4 posts about it, I can see it once and choose where to reply (pancakes obviously, I'm a waffle purist).

Community interlinking/subscription fixes a slightly different problem than custom feeds IMO. It's a really good idea, but I would personally still want custom feeds (with the ability to handle crossposts in a customizable way).

I used to have an old beige box router with dual nics. It would hum me to sleep at night ... I still have a box of wrt routers, you know, just in case someone needs one.

Looking at the other pictures, it definitely looks like some sort of spray...

Erythrism?

Its bioengineered, no way he would go for it. Only organic brainworms for our homeopath in chief.

Usually the soap dispenser is above

Common in factories where lots of people need to wash their hands at the same time.

According to Bloomberg, Johann Rupert told the conference to bear in mind that when the poor rise up, the middle classes won’t want to buy luxury goods for fear of exposing their wealth.

“How is society going to cope with structural unemployment and the envy, hatred and the social warfare?” he said. “We are destroying the middle classes at this stage and it will affect us. It’s unfair. So that’s what keeps me awake at night.”

... its almost comical how he thinks of this. The first thought is his businesses wont be able to sell luxury to anyone but the ultra wealthy.

Article title now reads: "Insurance company halts plan to put time limits on coverage for anesthesia during surgery "

Strange. I wonder why?

I saw somewhere there exists a saying along the lines of 'start sauteing onion, add some garlic, then you figure out what you are going to cook.' When my wife and I have time to actually cook, this is basically what we do. everything is better with garlic and onions, from German to Korean. The rest is just details.

If y'all have worked with silicone oil, yea it works kinda like this (depending on viscosity).

It creeps up out of containers, it creeps up walls. It gets everywhere.
