The Biden administration is working on improving train infrastructure but if you look at the map of what they’re adding, it’s limited to a very small section of the country. I mean, it’s like cross country but it’s such a massive country that it’s still super limited.

I thought it was hilarious and works with their dishonor but I also wouldn’t have loved if they had been head banging to metal or going to town on some Klingon opera.

It’s derived from Hebrew.

You are correct about Tildes. They are very intentionally cultivating a different atmosphere and don’t want Reddit’s huddled masses. There is a subset of reddit users who fit there but it’s not the shitposting crowd.

Yeahhhh that too, but you have to appeal to an American sensibility since it’s a (largely) American website:/

Well, it might not be a 100% effective solution then but it does save users the trouble of accidentally interacting with content on Threads. If it doesn’t show up in my feed, I don’t click on it without noticing where it came from.

Many instances have proactively signed a pact to defederate from them but I don’t think lemmy.world did, and if they don’t I’ll be looking for another instance that does.

It’s a totally SFW game, too, so I honestly don’t understand the point the mods are trying to make here though. The first time my V (sorry if the spoiler tag doesn’t work properly I’m confused about where I actually type my spoiler)

I thought, “ah yes, what a wholesome family oriented game. I think I’ll invite my grandma over to play with me.”

There is an anti meta pact. Encourage your instances to sign and follow through. https://fedipact.online/

As far as I could tell they haven’t signed the anti meta pact so probably not.

Does Bubble Bobble through an emulator count?

I’ve always used a 3rd party app on my Android phones and it’s so much better than any of the texting programs they have had come installed on the device. There are so many issues. You could get a different program depending on what mfg your phone is from, which could be great or utterly suck. Hangouts used to be a thing but as far as I know texts s weren’t integrated into it so it was a secondary or additional app. Of course I don’t know what exactly iMessages even is but based on your comment, it’s better than that lol

So many people are saying Duck Duck Go so I’m just throwing a comment out there to make sure everyone is aware that it’s literally Bing without the personal data. People joke about how bag Bing is, and Microsoft is a bit of a monster so I think people need to be aware of what they’re actually using. That said, if it works for you then cool, since Google is garbage now and there are not a lot of great alternatives.

Duck Duck Go is literally just Bing without the personal data. If it works for you then it works for you, but it’s good to know what you’re really using.

I was curious about Beehaw after hearing about them defederating and looked to see what was over there and what their content looked like. They have a stickied post at the very top that goes over the numbers if you’re curious what they’re saying it costs to run that instance. I feel like numbers could be totally variable based on a number of factors but that might give you a good idea. A smaller instance might be less and a larger one with the best hardware might be more but they’re probably all playing in the same general ballpark.
