We used to kinda have that back in Yugoslavia. There was this national agency called Narodna Tehnika (it translates to technical resources for the people... more or less). It was mostly meant for kids to learn the basics of how things are produced and made, but it also had some production facilities with some larger scale machines at disposal to the people (lathes, engravers, welding appliances, etc.). They were free for use, you just had to schedule a time when you'd like to use them (time share concept basically).

I had this idea proposed to our local community. Every parking zone should have 1 car floor pit that can be used by anyone that is a paying customer of that zone (mostly locals in mind, but anyone that has paid to park there, can use the pit). You could do simple fixes there, like oil changes or maybe just check for leaks. You park your car there, bring your own tools, that was it. Their main concern was bad drivers and them failing to park the car correctly above the pit (not drop one of the weels in the pit), which is a valid point, but this could've been avoided with some intelligent engineering of the pit (sensors that will tell you that you're not approaching the pit from the right angle and you might drop the car in the pit). It was shot down as being too complicated to put into practice.

I just hate how capitalism works. If it's easy and has a lot of benefits, implement it. If it's a bit more complicated, drop the idea 😒.

What about social labor, we used to have that back in Yugoslavia, it was a nice way to meet people, plus the food was good and it was also paid in some cases (not much, but enough to cover expenses as a student - education was free back then, so don't compare to how much uni is worth now in the US).

No real threat now. Plus, Chernobyl was an inside job.

I was actually thinking it was Jerboa’s fault, holding the comments in cache, lol 😂. Cuz I know I posted some stuff in some of the threads, but now they're gone 😂.

Hmmm... my posts from Jerboa didn't seem to make it to this instance... I made a few of them over the past few hours.

I'm using the alpha release now, 0.34, let's see how it works.

This ☝️. Seems like there's a lot of snowflake users on beehaw 😒.

Yes, but that beats the whole essence of the "everyone's connected and can connect to anyone" fediverse selling point.

The solution is simple. You don't like a community? Block it. You don't like a user? Block him/her. Defederating is not the solution and beats the whole point of having a fediverse.

I'm currently juggling with 5 accounts because of this very reason. I had another reason to do so on reddit (multiple personalities, lol), but if you ask me, this reason is just stupid 😒.

IDK, I'm not a dev. I do code, but not that advanced. I work in IT, electronics and telecommunications engineer by degree.

It might be load related, but as I said, I haven't looked at code and server specs, charts, etc.

To be honest, there are some problems regarding lemmygrad and Jerboa. Threads not opening, comments not being submitted (connection closed), etc.

This isn't even close to what Chernobyl was.

Completely agree 👍. It's how everything should work IMO: try, fail, make better.
