I remember everyone saying the exact same in 2016. "Maybe Dems will reflect." Other than putting up a white man for 2020, I can't see a single difference in their approach ever since.

Not normal, but I have seen 100x more false positives than real detections over the years. Proceed with caution, but as long as it isn't an EXE you're running and/or the author seems trustworthy, I wouldn't worry much.

She literally said this though.

"I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power."

Bless you for not making people use Tik Tok.

I'll have to give it another go! I was absolutely loving the feature in beta, however the experience was dampened by intermittent game crashes that stopped the moment I disabled this feature. Classic AMD driver issue, most likely.

Can't say I agree with NSFW content being "filth", but I would agree that generally it's harder for NSFW content to find a home over here due to the increased moderation costs it brings.

Force feeding estrogen to CEOs to break the glass ceiling. Woke.

Can't say I see many people using the "ANAL" acronym in lowercase... lol

I'll throw my -opinion- in the ring here because no one else is saying it the same way.

  • Echoing what other people said, finding a server was hard especially as at the time I thought defederating seemed stupid (changed my mind somewhat now that I use Lemmy). Then once signed up discovery was/is a pain. How do I find good accounts when they aren't synced with the instance I am on? Fuck if I know, I never found an equivalent to lemmyverse.net for mastodon.
  • Now into the big problem I had: federation was a pain. It was my first interaction with a federated service that isn't email and it was confusing and annoying. Finally find an account you like? Well you either can't see any of their posts or the few you can have 1 reply and 5 likes. Eventually you realise you have to click onto the account's instance to see everything and they have 100 replies and 500 likes (made-up numbers, obviously) but guess what you can't interact with any of them because you are no longer on your instance. It basically forced me to browse logged out for 99% of my browsing, constantly following links between websites. I have not had quite the same trouble with Lemmy because despite having some similar problems, it has been a LOT quicker to sync especially once you point your instance to another.
  • The lack of algorithm or fine control of my feed was off-putting. I still hate that Facebook and other platforms make it hard or impossible to sort chronologically, but having only chronological makes for a potential to miss out on massive amounts of stuff.
  • And on a personal note, I think I'm just falling out of favour with the idea of a microblogging platform with strangers. If my friends used it things might be different.

I did try out Firefish and enjoyed that way more as it had a fun and engaging UI and lots of extra features, but it holds the same federation and discovery issues.

In the imaginary world where Gmail required you to visit Outlook to view the entire thread because it hadn't synced yet, yeah sure they're exactly the same. In the real world the email comparison stops being useful beyond explaining how @ monikers work.

I've seen a lot of fabrics that say "Dry Clean Only" because the manufacturer was too lazy, but my experience with dishes finds that the labels are generally quite accurate. Putting a non-dishwasher-safe item in usually ruins it.

Description from original poster:

Happened a year ago so we’re almost finished with construction.

My car was parked on the right side on the break in the concrete. He was going 45-50 mph and pushed it over 5-10ft of concrete, through a windstorm certified garage door, and into a filled garage.

If my car hadn’t been there he would’ve driven right into one of the front bedrooms.

Had the pictures pop up in my memories and decided to share the crazy experience!

 

I use the location tracking of Google Maps/Google Timeline constantly for work, and it's exceedingly helpful to know when I was at certain cities, buildings, etcetera. Of course, this means I'm basically signing my soul away to Google. But I can't really find any alternative location tracking apps, even though I would have thought there would be lots available. Are there any good alternatives out there?

The closest I found was Owntracks, but it doesn't work for me for a couple of reasons. Primarily, it doesn't tell me the places I've been, only the latitude/longitude. That isn't helpful. I want to know I was at X or Y convenience store and when my last visit was. Secondly of course, the interface was extremely lacking and I didn't like that it was split across two websites and an app. Why even have a map in the Android app if it doesn't show my location data??

According to the home owner:

We live on a 90* corner intersection with a major street and this guy flew around it at probably 40-50mph. Hit my neighbors car so hard it ended up in their yard facing the other way. Both cars totaled, driver ran off on foot. 11 AM on a Sunday morning.

And the aftermath:
