Exactly. This rambling nonsense is basically just the response I would expect from “tell me you don’t understand averages, without telling me you don’t understand averages”
Never buy a PS4/5 or switch controller they are all overpriced garbage they intentionally make for ewaste landfills in 2-4 years.
I really like my gulikit king Kong 2 and they made a elite controller style one with the 3rd version so I’d recommend that. They’re hall effect joysticks which feel real nice and are easy to repair and customize.
Yeah idk. I spend a inordinate amount of time talking about tides and watching them, but generally only high and low are focused on because the midtide is when the water is changing the fastest. The water spends more time at high or low than it does I. the middle, so it’s not really noticable.
I grew up on the coast, so I never really thought about tides just that that was the way it was. Then I married someone from a landlocked country and every time we drive over the bridge over the cove near our house I comment when the tide is high or low since they are used to lakes, and I’m never quite sure what to say when it’s in the middle.
I didn’t grow up at the coast, but I learned about the tides the hard way (we found a nice place at the beach at low tide, and had to seriously hurry to get everything to safety). That taught me about tides.
Last year we were visiting a coastal town in the UK, and I had checked the tide table beforehand so I could always tell my wife and our friend about the current state. Sadly, we never had the time to see the beach or the port there - whenever we had time, it was already dark.
Growing up, we had a game called “fight the tide” where we would build sand castles in the intertidal zone with a stick in the peak of the castle. Last stick standing wins a chocolate bar.
Generally, Blahaj and Hexbear disagree on what constitutes a chaser and thus Hexbear felt that Blahaj was not defending against chasers as well as they should, Blahaj moderators and admins were hostile towards Hexbear users, moderators, and admins, and general friction between the two instances. Additionally, some Blahaj moderators were ableist, using derogetory terminology such as “braindead” to refer to Hexbear users in removing their comments, as well as removing Hexbear users calling out ableism.
The original series Quantum Leap used the R-word referring to people with mental difficulties not as an insult. I understand today times have changed and used as a slur. Still used in medication today, meaning slow release tablets.
but imagine you’ve just gotten use to living on a moss planet over the past 40 million years, and now all of a sudden you walk outside and all the moss is gone
Yep. They all pretty much just jack with the flag.
Especially if it is at someone else’s expense so they can get a rush off of subjugating defenseless civilians and leading off sadistically with the enslaved, risking nothing in their hidden-bunker cowardice.

I don’t think ActivityPub is hard to implement, actually. It’s fairly specific JSON with a weird structure, but that structure isn’t hard to implement.
It does come with an oversight, though; the protocol doesn’t define how to ensure activities propagate to every server. That’s why following a Lemmy community from Mastodon will spam your feed with boosts, and why Mastodon instances all have different amounts of comments and likes on them. Some other things are also underspecified (like how to propagate creates through boosts, are those two events of is boosting a create enough?). These can use some fleshing out.
One thing that’s definitely underspecced is the client-server API. It’s practically impossible to take the spec and write a client for a C2S server that’s also built around the spec, because crucial things like “authentication” simply aren’t specified. Very few servers bother to implement C2S and even fewer of those cover more than the bare basics.
At some point I tried setting up a sort-of-tumblr clone by combining Fedibox with a C2S client, but I found it impossible to set everything up properly, and no other backends seemed to provide more than a basic C2S implementation. There’s potential there, but it’s hard to do it without an opinionated take on the spec that I feel shouldn’t be necessary.
They do describe well how “I post something on your timeline” works, but details on “someone else boosted a like on my timeline and I want to inform your server” isn’t as clear.
Lemmy posting boosts of every single activity to every following server is one way to get every server synchronised, but it feels a little like abusing side effects rather than using the protocol as designed.
Unless two instances had the exact same set of servers they’re federated with then I wouldn’t expect any given content to have the same number of likes/comments/etc when viewed from different instances.
