Hello Everyone,

It's been a fun few months.

Lemmy is fascinating beta software, and I believe the future of the web forum. I also, unfortunately, believe that Rabbitea.rs may no longer be running Lemmy in the near future.

The reality is that Lemmy is very unstable to run, resource heavy, and difficult to affordably scale. These problems are solved as fediverse projects mature. Rabbitea.rs cannot afford to wait for that.

I know there are a small number of you who use this service very regularly - it is in your interest to create a lemmy account elsewhere and migrate your subscriptions.

Rabbitea.rs will return to the Fediverse! It won't be Lemmy.

"Based on your consent, we may collect and use your biometric information for safety, security, and identification purposes," The revised policy of X(Twitter) is expected to go into effect on September 29, 2023.

The thing is, biometric data is permanent and can't be changed. If we share that with X, it could mean lifelong privacy risks. And seriously, I can't think of a single reason why Elon needs to know where I went to high school for data security purposes.

People keep talking about leaving Twitter, but when will they actually do that? I guess they'll just keep putting up with it, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

It's possibly one of the most supportive communities you'll find, but without the right resources, Amazon could squander it..

Over the past one and a half years, Stack Overflow has lost around 50% of its traffic. This decline is similarly reflected in site usage, with approximately a 50% decrease in the number of questions and answers, as well as the number of votes these posts receive.

The charts below show the usage represented by a moving average of 49 days.

Tesla has consistently exaggerated the driving range of its electric vehicles, reportedly leading car owners to think something was broken when actual driving range was much lower than advertised. When these owners scheduled service appointments to fix the problem, Tesla canceled the appointments because there was no way to improve the actual distance Tesla cars could drive between charges, according to an investigation by Reuters.

 

A deadly missile strike on a crowded restaurant wounded three Colombians who hope to build support for Ukraine in a continent that has avoided taking sides.

 

Hi All, instance admin of rabbitea.rs here; on upgrading to 18.2 I've noticed that the css of my instance has broken in a few strange ways. Anyone have any pointers to whats new in the FE that's causing this?

You should check out the OpenNic project, which is an organization that has already attempted what you're describing.

I swear - there used to be a segment on CBC kids where children would submit short films they had made. The mascot was an electric wall outlet; I have not been able to find anyone else who remembers this but it was definitely real because I have a number of home movies I wanted to submit to it.

Love a brass pen. I've been carrying a brass Kaweco Lilliput daily for the past two years, and it's become my preferred pen for 99% of my writing. My only problem with it is purely mental - it feels small in my hand despite the fact that when fully extended it's the exact same length of pen as one that feels "normal."

Maybe I should investigate purchasing this one as a desk pen.
