Which is stupid by itself. It should be assumed that a TV can be burned in, with the option to disable it if they don’t like it or don’t care.

That is phenomenal. Just absolutely stunning. The sheer stupidity of how they did that as astounding.

Lemmy is not a chat platform, and the fediverse is the wrong technology for that. There are plenty of decentralized chat apps already that have that capability

Why not just go to any of those apps?

Holy shit this is cool. No price or reviews yet though, but will be keeping my eyes out. Sounds great for my k8s cluster

Check the legend for the true sadness of this

I had a cached copy, feel free to use it.

well they’re attempting that with Brightline West, but I haven’t heard anything positive from them in a while. I agree though, the tracks are there, even if it’s not super duper fast I know that corridor, I can’t imagine every person driving that is super thrilled to be driving. I’m sure a good chunk of them would be willing to add an hour or two on to not have to drive, and let’s be real you don’t need a car in vegas.

That is so good to hear, especially with how hostile the admin is towards them. You can’t argue with increased ridership. I know in the PNW where I am the Cascades keeps adding trains, and they keep filling them to capacity. People are sick of driving, the proof is there. Even in rural midwest the Borealis from MSP to Chicago has been a wild success, proving that it’s not just coastal elites who are tired of driving everywhere.

Amtrak did a good job admitting that no, they can’t compete with the long-haul routes because both financially and time-wise they fail compared to flying. These shorter “cooridor” trips though are perfect for them, and I think we’ll keep seeing massive success there. Flying Portland<->Seattle is ridiculus, < 2 hours, and you have to go all the way out of town to the airport. The train is 4 hours, but it’s comfier, cheaper, more friendly towards the environment, and you can catch it right downtown. Same with Minneapolis to Chicago. People are realizing it’s worth maybe an extra hour to not deal with flying.

Once there people will view moving as a hassle, but I understand what you’re thinking. Mastodon I think did it better with “suggesting” an instance to you, and Lemmy has gotten better about it. For friends and family I think the best way is basically telling them which server to use. Go here, sign up

I’m sorry, I assumed by posting about it that you were passionate for this change. If you don’t care that’s fine - but I don’t know why you posted about it then.

Yes, that is my proposal. Many people complain saying there are better ways to host instances but no one is willing to practice what they preach and actually do it. If you want to see change in the fediverse then you should step up and do it.

New users have a choice when joining, you should make a new instance and convince the new users why they should join. I would support a toggle on join-lemmy which lets them see what servers are geographically close, but that would be irrelevant before you set up an instance to pave the way.

If you “can’t be bothered” then obviously you aren’t as passionate about it as you claim to be.

Again, the proposed solution stands. Set up your own instance and prove us all wrong, show us how to make this local place where people talk to each other in their physical community.

There, that better? Show us how to do it, if it’s popular more will do it.

And I believe this logical fallacy is Moral Equivalence.

We’re not comparing here, I’m not biting on the rage bait. Again, the proposed solution stands. Set up your own instance and prove us all wrong, show us how to make this utopia you promise.

Ah I believe this is the Either/Or logical fallacy.

People not wanting to see hate speech or propaganda does not mean they are in echo chambers. Those are two different things.

It also doesn’t stand with my original statement. Go set up your own instance that is welcoming. That would prove that it’s not an echo chamber and expand the fediverse. Win win from what I see. Let us know when it’s up.

Your views here go against the nature of the fediverse. You’re telling people they should go there and be unhappy with their choices. That’s not how the fediverse works.

The fediverse way to to spun up a Mexican server which does have the views and federation people want, and encourage others to join naturally.

Amtrak, and the dots in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois saw this and added just a second train between Msp And Chicago daily and ridership exploded, trains sold out. A frequent thing that they do to save money is cut trips, but it’s doing so much more harm than good. They’re now finally realizing that if you want ridership people want options, they want to be able to arrive close to when they want, and some may want to just show up day of and ask when the next train is.

Here in Seattle they just added a 5th or 6th roundtrip to Portland because each time they do, ridership goes up. Turns out there’s a lot of people who would rather not drive.

Looks at China over the last 10 years…

I read the source code, the proxy essentially just hands all the responsibility down to pict-rs. Then pictrs has that environment variable where you can set how long-loved you want the thumbnail to be.

oh that’s good to hear, I’ve never had anything pop up on mine, I’m sorry something has for yours. While I have you, do you have a script or anything you use for removing the flagged item?
