Doesn’t even have to be right wing (a.k.a. the extreme right)… even moderate at this point equals business-as-usual equals right off the cliff as soon as possible.

I guess it’s another pipe dream
Or heat stroke
I am sad for the disappearance of the subjunctive mood in English
Imagine congestion pricing hurting the city’s economy more than allowing public transit to fall apart will…
Tim Watkins, energy-based economics writer from the UK, had some interesting observations about this in his blog today. Scroll down to the third/final subheading, “Advertising doesn’t work that way”.

I get that same autocorrect! “shears” when I was trying to write “always”!
Food. It has also been my only purchase this year.
I mean… it’s not artificial intelligence no matter how many people continue the trend of inaccurately calling it that. It’s a large language model. It has the ability to write things that look disturbingly close, even sometimes indistinguishable, to actual human writing. There’s no good reason to mistake that for actual intelligence or rationality.

In some cities, there are other places where you can accomplish some of the socializing that happens in bars, without being in a bar or around alcohol at all. In older towns and cities you can often find breakfast places and cafés that don’t mind if you stay a while longer than it takes to eat a meal or drink coffee, and where customers at bar-style seating or outdoor tables often are interested in striking up a conversation with strangers.
It makes so much difference if you gravitate toward old cities and towns, and away from suburbs, especially modern suburbs (and their accompanying shopping and entertainment districts) built in the 80s or later. The latter tend to be completely, totally oriented toward the isolated and car-dependent lifestyle. Older, much longer established communities are more messy and sometimes even dysfunctional, yet they usually have some places where people actually meet and interact.
Any chance that was Wild Oats?
Thanks for the info! Yeah, it’s going to take the fediverse in general some time to get smoother. I’m excited to watch it improve even if the pace is slow.
What motivated you to switch instances? Did your early ones fill up with junk posts etc? I was thinking that since I use a reader app (Boost for Lemmy) and everything is federated it wouldn’t matter much if I joined one of the large and general-purpose instances.
Or was it more about performance issues… service/instance traffic overload leading to slow response time?
You had me on board until… Hershey’s chocolate? That’s not even chocolate anymore, it’s like putrid brown wax!
jetAudio has been doing a great job of playing all my music off my local/home SAMBA server over WiFi for a couple of years. It’s a little un-polished but I’ve never found anything else that made it as easy to connect and just play tracks, folders, albums, or playlists without too much bloat.
