tell them to write a sentence that contains the words they're, there, and their, and use all three of them in a contextually accurate manner.
web of trust, or mywot. puts a little sign next to every link telling you if they're trustworthy. fucken game changer. botsight is a great one for twitter. and buzzkill, well, kills buzzfeed
when has the narrative ever changed away from that attitude? look at how mutahar has acted - knowing that we're doing the right thing but still throwing as much contempt into everything as he possibly can. the only times that people side with mods is when we're taking enormous damage so that general users don't cop it instead, or if there's a power-mad despot who should never have control of anything larger than a toy train
so what's the full specs of the machine? would building one of them and then running it at home from an NBN connection be viable, or would it lag to hell more than lemmy's world about 12 hours ago?
btw when it's time for money, i'll put one hand up and the other into my pocket. this is the sort of thing that i would be happy to fund.
yeh i suppose that's a good starting point and i'd let someone know if it was getting too clogged. i doubt that is going to happen for a few weeks at the very least tho, and by that stage i will very likely be in a position to be able to build an instance of my own
yes, they would be focused on the various live music scenes that they represent. i think live events would be more important for the entertainment industry than genre-focused communities which could easily be covered in other instances. being more activity-based than interest, i believe that they would benefit from a uniquely australian position
nah, crypto is smoke-and-mirrors and he knows that this isn't, so he's run away
the instance that i'm typing from is being hosted in someone's cupboard with some pretty off-the-shelf parts. i'v probably got enough parts for something similar laying around my house. if instances stay to low populations and the workload is distributed amongst all of them, it's not actually stressing the system all that much at all.
that being said, as soon as the aussie zone sysadmin asks for financial assistance, i'll be putting my hand into my pocket. again, if enough people do that then it's not much of a cost at all
lol nah, the best mods are the ones that nobody notices because they just deal with everything immediately and with a friendly and happy attitude
oh cheers, thank you! i was not aware of that. thanks again!
spotify, believe it or not. for the genres of music that i nose around in it has an amazing catalog, i can listen all thru the house thanks to alexa, and i can favourite or skip a track with voice commands. i pay for the premium version because i hate ads and also because i want to listen to music at higher quality than 192kbps
shazam is one click away from being opened after i unlock my phone at any point. holy shit that's been a good resource when i'm out somewhere and hear something i like.
after that, however, i spend a lot of time on bandcamp hunting for obscure and decent sounding remixes of popular songs. THAT's what i dump on a dancefloor full of hippies. if you get the girls dancing then the boys dance with them and with charismatic music you can turn it into a party instead of just a bunch of people dancing to music
oh, and when you're listening to music that you're thinking about DJing with, you absolutely utterly NEED an enormous subwoofer and a surround sound hifi so you can hear it the way it's supposed to sound
we knew we had the power position when lemmy's world stood it's ground and didn't explode on the day before yesterday.
