I have little interest in being a mod, but I see the issues you’re describing as a user and I’ve given them some thought.

You can create a community with a similar name or switch instances if you cant get your instance admin to help. For me, the frustration isn’t so much with unmoderated communities but abandoned ones, especially on larger instances.

Fixing that seems simpler, as adding a toggle to hide inactive communities should hopefully not be controversial and it could be implemented by the client. Please?

It will be interesting to see how things evolve, as a solution is clearly needed but federation poses some interesting challenges especially since deleting posts should be discouraged.

Then the slavery would be a much bigger piece though, so this meme really makes no sense at all

That’s just how research works most of the time. The experimental setup required to build a working prototype and prove the initial hypothesis is always going to be larger and more complex than a mass market appliance. If that appliance ever gets built depends on a huge number of factors too. If the process scales as expected, how complex the device is to produce and if a company thinks that it can make money on it. The researchers, meanwhile, are probably more worried about their next grant funding.

Debian netinst. The network installable iso is much smaller than the full image as you only download stuff you actually want to install. Ubuntu used to have a mini.iso but sadly they got rid of it AFAIK.

That, and it would be in portrait mode, with a video playing. And ads taking up a third or the screen.

Is it really? I figured it was just another textbook example of convergent evolution, as that is where I learned about it. I know my comment should have said ‘evolved crab-like bodies’ instead, as they’d still be genetically distinct, and not taxonomically true crabs. Now I feel like I have to read up on what the exact nature of the debate is.

Fun fact: Through a process of convergent evolution called carcinisation, crustaceans have evolved into crabs several times.

I was wondering the same thing before reading the article. This is for a 28 year mission, and doesn’t include setting up the base, or power and water supply.

Apparently I’m from an area that uses sunshower, but I’ve always heard it called the devil beating his wife
