Curious what your issues with glusencamp-perez are? I don’t live in her district, but seems like she represents her constituents fairly well for how politically split the district is…but again I’m not necessarily in the know.

It’s an awesome place. Come join us.

Yeah. Actually confused me for a minute and I had to go dig into all the different communities on mander.

I think it makes sense to change the display name.

What do you do for self-employment? I’ve always thought that being self employed would be awesome.

Yeah. Looks good. Thanks Otter!

One thing to think about is that recently we had a few requests to create a rule about quality sources. I was always torn about it. The post with links to bad sources/bad science brought out some of the highest engagement from the whole community and spurred some great educational dialogs.

I don’t like the idea of keeping a disallowed list of sources. Nor do I like the idea of debating source quality.

Well…it can be an long conversation but the TL;DR is there were several space communities and it will help lemmy grow to consolidate. Mander was chosen because they are science focused and LW holds ~40% of all lemmy users. To avoid one community from dominating lemmy we need to spread the usage to multiple instances.

Done. https://lemmy.world/post/28335991

Sheesh…cloudflare is everywhere!

Great to hear!

Seems like you’re on the west coast (USA). Me too.

I’m hoping I get to duck out for a bit and take it all in after bedtime and chores. I won’t be able to pull out a telescope tonight, but sometimes binoculars surprise me.

Where are you located? How harsh of winters do you get? How wet is your spring?

I’ve always been interested in doing this. Winters are fairly mild here in my part of the PNW, but have doubts that I wouldn’t just have a mud pit in the fall/spring.

Ooooo. That’s fun.

Got any pictures of the wintertime? Curious what it looks like then.

I’d be happy to moderate on mander.xyz if we consolidate over there.

Agreed. Consolidation would benefit the community and likely help it grow further. I don’t know much about mander.xyz, but I’m not attached to LW.

I’d be happy to continue moderating if we migrate elsewhere.

Edit: I just noticed how small mander.xyz community is, 90/month vs 4k/month.

Whoa. What? Having gas appliances increases insurance? I’ve never been asked if my home has gas appliances by an insurance company.

I was waiting for this to be busted out reading down that comment chain. Surprised it took so long.

So you’re saying they are similar in some ways. Good. I totally agree. Yes, they are different in many ways, but I’m glad you abandoned the claim that they aren’t similar.

You don’t think major thematic elements of The Orville match Star Trek? Really? You see nothing similar?

I’m open to the idea, but these articles bring out some of the highest levels of engagement, discussion and often bring in new readers.

Start reporting them when you see them.

Is intel killing off their dGPU?
