Absolutely agreed. Unlike reddit, there’s nothing between “private” and “everyone”. Reddit had a feature that subs could avoid the front page no matter how popular a post got, but Lemmy doesn’t have that, so every post shows up on everyone’s all.

The second one gave me a message that the domain has been seized. :(
I’m kind of shocked that EA’s comment that was heavily downvoted wasn’t deleted. I guess EA wasn’t paying enough to get that service.
A “local news” Facebook page is all up in arms about this. The page sometimes provides useful information about road blockages and the like. I’m pretty sure he just listens to the scanner all day and posts what he hears. Our local emergency services (police, fire, etc.) are replacing their radios with encrypted ones soon.
But I’ve wondered if they were simply replacing old radios, and encrypted radios are now what is available - i.e., buying unencrypted radios now might be like trying to buy an old cell phone that doesn’t do digital communication. Of course, there are solutions to the issue that emergency departments could take in the name of transparency, like streaming the communications online.
I used to live in a condo where we didn’t have washers and dryers in the units, and couldn’t add them. (The building was originally going to be an apartment, then they decided to sell them as condos instead while it was under construction.) We had a laundry room on each floor. In that situation it wasn’t a cost thing. And I’ve used laundromats even when I did have my own washer and dryer, for things like bedspreads, or when we were on a long road trip in an RV.
In a shared situation like that, it’s good etiquette to be ready to remove your clothes when the cycle ends. That’s just common sense. Set a timer for a few minutes less than is on the clock. It’s not hard. I would give people a few minutes of grace - as it seems the laundromat did - then remove their clothes. They don’t like it? Then they can be there when the washer or dryer finishes.
In the condo, one woman didn’t want others using the time she paid for even if her clothes were dry, so she’d remove her clothes, shut the door, and restart it. I was waiting a few times when the dryer finished, and no one ever showed up, so I looked, and yep, empty. Thanks for wasting that time of my life, lady, when I could’ve started drying my clothes 15 minutes ago. And it wasn’t like there was ever going to be enough time left for my clothes to dry, so I’d still have to pay. I’m not sure what point she thought she was making.
I do agree with the non-unique naming complaint though. Do I want to use Messages or Messages?
She’s pretty, so it doesn’t matter.
I saw someone sharing a picture of her on Facebook the other day gushing about how beautiful she is (identifying her as “First Lady”).
I almost responded, “The current First Lady has a PhD in English and continued her teaching position while her husband is in office. Why aren’t we sharing her picture and celebrating her accomplishments?”
But what would be the point?
Forfty percent of people know that!
Statistician.
But the Simpsons lied to me. I have not been offered the opportunity to go to space.
SpaceX also has Starlink. I don’t know how it’s doing financially, but I do know it’s quite popular in places where wired internet isn’t available, and for people who are mobile. I’ve even seen pictures of cruise ships using it for internet access.
I hope so. The county I live in is extremely popular for cyclists - even in the dead of winter it’s not unusual to see people riding (sometimes I’m among them, but I have my limits). It seems like it’d be useful info for the county to have.
My question is whether they count bicycles. And are able to detect them as such.
Hell I have the app on my phone, but yesterday, I received a ticket for an event, accepted it, and downloaded it to my phone without using that app at all.
I think OP is misunderstanding what is happening. The code changes every so often, probably to prevent people from passing around a screen shot and trying to get in that way. You can get the ticket without the app.
