In retrospect, I think I would have enjoyed being a librarian. It seems so peaceful, even if the pay isn’t fantastic.

Oh lol. Well I was certainly confused. Had to do a double take to make sure I wasn’t just so zoned out I walked into something, and after I confirmed I didn’t I just had no idea what to think. It was truly unexplainable, at least for me.
I’m pretty sure there’s a Black Mirror episode all about this.
It was weird, but I haven’t really made heads or tales of it. Hadn’t really encountered anything like that before and haven’t since, but it was just bizarre.
I mentioned something akin to this possibility a couple days ago, but was told this likely wasn’t the case. I’ll have to see if I can dig up the argument for that.
I’ve already replaced it with Lemmy. I simply have my Reddit account now to check on it to make sure my content remains deleted.
FYI Memmy is on the App Store now. It’s a slightly outdated version but there should be an update for that any day now.
Kind of? I was in college walking on campus in broad daylight. I pass under this skywalk, with nobody in my general vicinity. As I do, I feel what feels like someone was walking past me coming from the opposite, locking their arm into mine. I got pulled back enough to stumble.
Sure enough, nobody nearby, no objects right near me or anything I could have accidentally gotten caught up on. Still have no idea what happened there. And for the record, this was before I ever had tried alcohol and I don’t really do drugs, so I can’t blame those.
I’ve been wondering about this not so much from a performance perspective, but rather from a storage perspective. Assuming old posts and comments are never cleaned up, a handful of particularly active instances could easily crush federated smaller instances storage, right?
We had something similar, but not only were we being treated like crap, we were basically told to be “yes men” and that we were all perpetually on call. And there were only 3 of us. No vacations, and I even had my VP calling me 2 days after having surgery done asking me to come back to the office, despite not being able to sit due to the nature of the surgery. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me.
So I found a new job and put in my two weeks. Then my coworker got fired less than a week later for explaining that terminating all EC2 instances running our app would in fact cause an outage rather than just doing it. Within a week of that, my boss, the last guy on my team, up and left.
I’m curious if they ever got someone knowledgeable on how to run the ship on board after that. Last I heard, the entire office I had worked at was shuttered during COVID.
Neat! Not that I use WordPress so it doesn’t matter to me, but interesting all the same.
Huh, this would be the first I’ve heard of Wordpress leveraging ActivityPub.
Full disclosure, I’m not an expert in any scientific field, but I did have to read up on this in school one.
The gist of it is that iron is a solid at most temperatures found on earth, and other materials don’t penetrate it easily. Rust is formed by a chemical reaction of oxygen and iron, where the oxygen binds with the iron.
Rust is also a solid at most temperature found on earth though, meaning when enough rust coats the surface of an iron object, much like paint, the oxygen cannot easily reach the iron underneath, leaving it unchanged.
Over time, things could come along and cause that rust to erode away, which would then lead to more of the iron being exposed and more rust forming, but that takes time. Thus with larger iron objects, you’ll still typically find iron underneath.
Instead of sleeping at night, let me just plug in to a charger. It would be much more convenient and reliable.
