Tetanus is fucking terrifying. I'm happy to have chemicals to protect me from that.

Both. The text data is in the database of all instances that are federated. Your account credentials are only stored on the instance you're registered to.

Because this is not censorship. You're free to browse any defederated community. You're not censored, they're not censored. All the content is perfectly viewable on the fediverse.

Go join another instance. You can't enter somebody else's house and complain about how they don't want to invite the neighbor over as well. That's not censorship. Go to the neighbors house if you want to hang out with them.

But you've been explained this multiple times, so I'll leave it at this. Ignorance is not bliss.

The word "censorship" has lost all meaning

Nowhere in that link does it say what you're saying. Kbin was not named after the instance, but sbin. The instance is named after the gun because apparently it sounds nice in Polish.

Literally the first comment in the thread you linked sorted by Hot has a direct quote from the dev which contradicts your title.

If you're not carrying cooked spaghetti in your pocket I don't trust you.

Maybe I'm ignorant but I've felt like phones haven't needed screen protectors for a while.. I've had a GS9 for years with no screen protector and I have a very very minor scratch that can only be seen with the screen off and that's it.

I've never shattered a phone screen before, am I just an outlier?

The dev is not tracking anything. Google ads is.. and like the other comment said if you have Google Play on an android phone then you're being tracked.

I'd wager most people complaining about sync also have a Gmail account or shop on Amazon, or watch YouTube, or a million other equally or more invasive stuff.

The trackers are from the ads. They go hand in hand so I think people mean both when they say ads. Ads tracking you is kinda a given. And if you pay to remove the ads the trackers never load either.

How about don't fuck with authorities when you're in a war zone. Probably a good rule to live by to avoid getting rocked in the face, or worse.

Just release them far away from any power lines

 

This is a bit more local than US News story, but didn't know where else to post. The footage is crazy.

Four people suffered minor injuries, but no one died, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

The crane operator is also reported (on FDNY Twitter) to be OK

I was trying to go natural, I didn't really have a plan just stuck in what I thought looked nice. Not as nice as most of yours but I love it. I was having a hard time getting a good picture though since there is light coming in from the windows.

Low tech and perfectly balanced. I have 10 rummies, a handful of male guppies that will be moved to my new tank when I set it up, an unknown number of pygmy cories, and a juvenile bristle-nose pleco.

 

I have some communities on my small instance that I will never browse, I want to remove them to free up space and not pull useless data (to my one other user and I). I click "Remove" on the community and then I click "Purge" and the community is removed and purged, but a few seconds later the community is back with different content.

I know I can block the communities to stop them from showing up on my "All" feed, but I have a small instance and don't want that data sitting around if nobody will ever look at it, as well as limit the small amount of unnecessary additional strain it may put on other instances. What am I doing wrong?
