Well, the real YSK is that memory and expansion cards have distinctive positions they should take within each slot, with a detente that holds them in place. Your system will only work reliably if the devices are fully seated.

When you first assemble the system, plug and unplug each item several times so you get the feel of it. There will always be a distinct detente when the device is fully seated. It’s a lot easier to do this exercise with everything out on the bench, rather than mounted in the case when it will be a stone cold bee-atch to reach in and reseat the parts.

asking if they subscribe to other myth based beliefs, religions, etc

What you actually said:

Out of interest are you religious or subject to some other form of mythical belief system? I ask because clearly you lack motivation for the truth, preferring hearsay and urban legend that I must assume supports a wider world view. by @Hackerman_uwu

My thought: this kind of behaviour is one of things that made Reddit fucking awful and I’d hate to see it flourish here in the fediverse.

So, it’s basically 4chans all the way down.

Nominally, you’d need to go through some request process to request federation with other large instances. Then they’d vet your configuration before adding you.

An online cafe dedicated to harvesting baby seal fur SEEMED like a good idea…

California, actually. Although that’s probably worse.

I would proudly stink of back-bacon and maple syrup, if given the opportunity.

What would “discrimination” look like in a reddit-like link sharing service?

I’m not even sure what that word would imply in a discussion forum. It usually applies to things like wages, job opportnities, access, etc.

beehaw.org – a lemmy instance specifically geared toward quality discussion and keeping everybody nice to each other – has basically been told by Lemmy devs that the moderation tools they want and need just aren’t in the roadmap, and they’ll need to fork and develop their own version.

That’s an incredibly disheartening attitude.

I think the big challenge right now is sustaining growth. I don’t think many reddit refugees are paying for their fediverse services.

I support dessalines on Patreon, but I don’t really know what else I should be doing. I think that folks who want to run these services need to figure out how to charge money for it, or they won’t be able to buy infrastructure or network bandwidth.

Oh goody. There’s a RickRussell_CA@lemm.ee and it’s not me. And it’s using one of my older profile pictures.

EDIT: 2023/8/29 update – I posted to the lemm.ee support community and the admins decided to disable the account. Well done!

I call for banning the bans.

Yeah, that previous explanation makes no sense – the YT guy who recorded his entire session was deleting the same stuff over and over again.
