Sure but I'm also actually encountering these people at work. Granted I never thought particularly highly of many of my coworkers to begin with.

I was already in one before.

Anyone visiting the US at this point is certifiably insane, so the extra background checks make sense... ohh, you meant on the employees, I see.

You made the right decision. Yes the community is small, but it will grow, and besides small can be beautiful in its own way.

On a similar but unrelated note, Lemmy also displays the two-hyphens as an em-dash, but unlike the trailing slashes, it does not encode that into the comment, so on piefed you still see the two-hyphens in both comments.

Fun!

And posting from piefed, is the result the same?

https://piefed.ca/ -- has a trailing slash https://piefed.ca/ -- does not

They should be treated like the violent gangs they are, we have lots of experience dealing with motorcycle clubs and these groups are almost exactly the same except they connect sports and racism instead of motorcycles and racism.

That is kind of the UNIX philosophy at work and you'll find that in a lot of open-source and self-hosted projects. The goal is to do one very specific thing really well in a small and streamlined package that integrates into other processes in a clear, defined and transparent way, not to be one of these super-convenient but bloated "it does everything and the kitchen sink" behemoths. It's a different style of software development but it's popular in the open source community for a lot of reasons, for example it's a lot more maintainable by a single person or small team with limited time. You'll find most of these large complex open source projects are organized and developed by companies (like Pangolin is), while the smaller UNIX-style projects are often written by individuals or very small teams volunteering their spare time. There are tradeoffs in either direction, but for self-hosting I think following the UNIX philosophy has a lot in common with a typical goal of self-hosting, reducing your dependence on for-profit companies that have a financial incentive to enshittify or otherwise try to squeeze money out of you.

That's some damn fine work, sir.

Those were the web-techbros. Then came the crypto-techbros, now we have AI-techbros. Very different styles, as you can see.

Yes, that's exactly who I voted for. This is what attitudes like yours have wrought. They lost my riding to the Conservatives. Because they're a fucking disaster of a party right now. Don't blame me. I didn't fuck them up. Their lack of credibility comes largely from their own members, organization, and choices. Not from voters nor any other external factors, and if you're blaming external factors you're wasting your time. Yeah there are some, but this was mostly self-inflicted and utterly predictable (in fact it was predicted). I'm a Peter Kormos/Charlie Angus style NDP supporter, and there's a reason the people with actual grassroots support always get sidelined and marginalized. The NDP is a sucky choice too. The people who would represent me very well are out there. Unfortunately, I'm not given an opportunity to vote for them.

First Past The Post is part of the problem. The NDP is another part of the problem.

George Carlin already expressed most of the thoughts I share about golf so I won't bother expressing them here. Nice work.
