Hope you throw the batteries in last, when they explode they might otherwise extinguish the flames. Very inconvenient.

For now it's all or nothing. Better safe than sorry.

Yeah I was also a bit confused about the "mad respect" for what I'd call standard driving :-D

Not OP, but yes manual permits to drive both types, automatic doesn't allow driving manuals. I believe that's an EU regulation.

German, late 30s. Automatic cars are rather uncommon in Germany, we sure like our manuals. Not being able to push my car into high RPMs when needed to overtake or accelerate quickly takes the fun out of driving. I'd never switch to automatic as long as I still have both arms and legs. And yes I know kickdowns are a thing, but it really doesn't compare.

Yes, you can browse any instance and then from there also all local communities.

https://imgur.com/a/5J6gDGg I selected one at random I didn't know exist from a long list (no idea how sorting works though) and then displayed a list of communities in the second screenshot. You can see on the text in the background that it shows the instance as "a remote instance", i.e. not the one where you are registered.

Would the community really be exclusive for the PhD, or also include other doctoral degree programs such as MD (medical), EdD (education), ThD (theology), DBA (business admin) and JD (jurisprudence)? Those are the ones I could think of, but maybe there are still others.

Edit: Wow, apparently there's a whole lot of different doctorates out there. I'm European so haven't heard of most of them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_doctoral_degrees_in_the_US funny to see that the doctor of theology also goes by STD :-D

Yeah and then you poop glitter. The canal workers are gotta be mightily impressed.

I didn't pay for it either. If I'd have been the one to order, I would have settled for something way more budget friendly. Not that I mind splurging once in a while, but then only on stuff I actually enjoy.

The "multireddit" feature has been on the request list on github for quite a while, but yeah the "browse as local" feature is live and mostly working on the internal test release. Some small things are being ironed out and then it should be released to the public soon, I'd say it's 99% there.

This is something that many admins and mods have been discussing for a while now, and I believe it would be an important feature for lemm.ee as well. Essentially, I would like to limit certain activities to users which meet specific requirements (maybe account age, amount of comments, etc). These activities might include things like image uploads, community creation, perhaps even private messages.

Sounds like the old karma requirements some reddit subs had. While I'm not against that, it would restrict locally registered users more so than others who are posting on lemm.ee communities when their host instance has no such system in place. I'm aware that if they post images those would be uploaded to their home instance and linked here with the patch you mentioned above, but the downside is that local users might feel inconvenienced more so than others. Not saying it's a bad idea though, if we are thinking from a "protect lemm.ee" angle first and foremost.

Automated ML based NSFW scanning for all uploaded images

You might want to reach out to the dev of Sync for Lemmy, ljdawson on !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world, he just implemented an anti-NSFW upload feature in the app to do his part. Essentially, Sync users currently can't post any kind of porn. While I don't think that the CP spammers were using his particular app, or any app to begin with, I do think it's a neat feature to have, but would make much more sense to run server-side.

I don't think they made it onto this server, with the 100kb upload limit in place, that was already a rather low risk. It's a preventive measure. So far lemmy.world was the one deliberately targeted.
