Lawful good is returning the cart to the in store area (or wherever people generally get their carts from). Or returning more than just your cart to the corals in the lot. Might return a row of carts to the store while they grab theirs from the coral.
Neutral good is gathering some carts from the lot and making sure they aren’t taking up parking spots, though not necessarily returning them to the coral or store.
Chaotic good is grabbing one of ones randomly left out there and giving it to others who are going in to the store and grabbing another one for yourself. Cart may or may not be left in the coral after, though it’s at least left where it won’t be in the way.
Lawful neutral returns their cart and maybe others if they aren’t out of the way. Might freak out on someone who doesn’t return their cart.
True neutral sometimes returns it, sometimes doesn’t, sometimes grabs a loose cart, sometimes grabs one from the store area. Overall doesn’t make things better or worse, but individual episodes can do so.
Chaotic neutral picks a random (to us, they might have their reasons) cart in the middle of a row, pulling the other carts out enough to access that cart. May or may not return those other carts to the row. May or may not push their cart towards a coral when they leave. Most likely to be seen pushing a cart while driving their car, either with the cart at the front of the car or holding it through an open window (which might not even be the usual driver’s window). I’d call Mr Bean chaotic neutral, so anything he is capable of.
Lawful evil returns the carts to the coral but stacks incompatible carts with each other or might put it in backwards. Follows the rules in a way that makes you wish they hadn’t. Might stick a tack in one of the wheels so it won’t turn properly.
Neutral evil scatters carts to cause the most inconvenience. Doesn’t just block parking spots but might block car paths or entrances and exits to the store. Might overturn their cart. Might ram it into someone’s car. Might fight employees that try to gather carts.
Chaotic evil super glues wheels so they won’t turn or glues carts to each other and in the coral or to the door. Or might take one of those carts that are tethered such that they seize the brakes from one store and leave it in another store’s lot. Or might figure out how to trigger that without the cart leaving (the other evils might also do this one). Or might just burn down the store after returning their cart to the in store area, letting any observers briefly think they had changed. Might turn the parking lot into a crash up derby and refer to pedestrians as bonus points.
Elves in LOTR have technically infinite vision because the world used to be flat and illuminated by two glowing trees that resided in Valinor. Because the world was flat, and Elves have essentially perfect vision at any distance, they could actually see things that were on the opposite side of the world.
After Morgoth (aka Melkor, aka the evil god that Sauron worships) and Ungoliant (the mother of Shelob, the spider that nearly kills Frodo) destroyed the trees then the world was made into a globe and Elves infinite vision ability, while still useful, wasn't quite as powerful as before.
Now I’m thinking about a pair of elves is the worst sort of codependent relationship, but one light year apart.
They use sign language to constantly argue and make up with each other, but because of the one light year delay, they’re maybe never quite at the same place in the argument/reconciliation cycle, both of them arguing with their counterpart one year prior.
The Trees fell during the First Age; the Downfall of Númenor and the Changing of the World happened towards the end of the Second Age, almost three thousand years later, and involved Sauron, not Morgoth, who’d been defeated and exiled from the world at the end of the First Age.
As for Legolas, he was a Sindarin elf born in the Third Age. He never saw the Trees, and had never been in Aman at the time of The Lord of the Rings.
The only named characters in The Lord of the Rings (other than ones mentioned in songs and legends) who had ever seen the trees were Galadriel, possibly Celeborn and Glorfindel, technically Gandalf and Saruman (provided the Istari count as the same people as the Maiar they were back in Aman), and, maybe, Tom Bombadil and Goldberry, but who knows, really, with those two. (I don’t think Sauron ever was in Aman, at least during or after the time of the Trees).
Which problem(s) are you trying to solve? The networking issue of firewalls and port forwarding? The admin tasks of installing and configuring applications? The task nobody does of maintaining software and keeping it up-to-date?
Which problem(s) are you trying to solve? The networking issue of firewalls and port forwarding?
Within the scope of this question, yes. Also properly configuring IPv6, though that’s just to achieve the same things that port forwarding enables.
The admin tasks of installing and configuring applications?
That’s also on my list, but I was trying to keep the question focused. Do you think the answer makes a difference? In other words, if it was just networking would it be not worth it, but networking and application management would make it worth it?
I didn’t feel particularly safer in Europe… About the same… Watch your wallet, don’t go down dark alleys alone, etc.
Some things definitely felt more grandiose, but on average things felt like they could be in an American city if not for their vintage.
Public transportation was definitely the biggest difference I observed, trains in Germany were an all but fantastic experience.
I was surprised how heavy German food was and how much smoking folks in Germany, the Czech Republic, and Bulgaria do. It seemed elevated compared to the average US city.
Alpine It just gives me the system and go “do whatever” It’s snappy, decluttered, doesn’t get in the way It doesn’t have a bazillion systemd components, it’s as barebones as it can be
This is necessary now that Reddit is astroturfed to high heaven. One benefit of this being a small community is we haven’t caught the attention of the SEO whores and product shills.
That’s kind of why I think there would need to be certain rules like ‘no sponsored content’
I’d like it to be for products that people like, but maybe just need some help being improved (or just having fun speculating about how it could be better maybe).
I agree about reddit, but unfortunately, I don’t think lemmy is free from astroturfing. Myself and others have noticed that there are many users on lemmy who seem to be purposefully antagonistic towards other lemmy users. The possible reason may be to drive people away from lemmy and hinder its growth.
I’ve experienced pro-reddit astroturfing on lemmy. I posted this criticism of reddit on the [email protected] comm, and it was heavily astroturfed and then deleted by the mod for a bogus reason.
A year later, someone used that post to attack me while insinuating purely from the title that I was at fault because the reddit admins would never do something like that (despite all the public information to the contrary).

I think I remember this.
Federated alternatives like Lemmy: I grew up on the internet and am far more tech/internet savvy than the average person, and I find federated options confusing and complicated. I also read that they’re very complex and not scalable on the technical end as well. They don’t seem like a viable option that can gain major traction. I’ll keep watching though, maybe I’ll be wrong.
I really dislike the bloated UI they’re all using, but it looks like there are solutions on the way.

I’m wondering, is this still your opinion?
I’ve gotten used to it and I like that many instances default to a dark mode. I used to use the old.instance UI, but I think I ran into problems with it and ended up just using the standard Lemmy UI.
Regarding lemmy being complicated, I’ve mostly learned how it works and I definitely think it’s the #1 reddit-alternative at the moment, and the most promising option for the future as well. Along with independent forums of course.
I also set up a Mastodon account, but unfortunately most people are still using Twitter. I also petitioned the Xenforo developers to join the fediverse, and I like that other forum software like Discourse, etc., are joining the fediverse. I definitely think federation is the future.
I’ve been thinking about updating that blog post but I’m not sure where to add the updates.
