That sums it up well.

I’m all for research, it’s good to have proven methods to say “hey, this is not healthy”. But this is a no brainer. I always assume that even a healthy option at a restaurant is worse (high fat, high salt, high added sugars) than anything I’d make myself.

Nobody is kidding themselves into thinking any of these places are healthy.

I have nothing of value to add to your problem.

I do want to appreciate Beehaw mods (founders?) dedication to this. This is a huge headache to need an urgent solution, and you don’t get paid.

If you have a tips jar, buy me a beer, or fund my vacation fund, I’d love to give each one of you some $$ for all the work you do!

I was offered a promotion. Looks good on the resume, no extra pay and a lot more headache. I’m already burnt out, have no motivation, etc. I wish I could take like 3-6 months off to just reset and level out. But that’s not in the cards for me.

If I remember correctly, as I’m no expert in the affairs of Israel; the right wing people vote for this stuff. But they themselves have a religious exemption, so they don’t need to send their own kids to mandatory service.

Very messed up for the youth who have no say. War only affects the civilians who suffer for the goals of their overlords.

Gross. Can we start making fines meaningful? % of revenue maybe? I’m not an expert on this. But these fines should be more than enough to discourage behavior and not be “cost of doing business”.

I just finished my final exam. I need a good grade to pass this class. So here’s to hoping I did it!!

I have a Beehaw account and another that federates with .world. I enjoy my Beehaw account much more, to the point I almost never use the other account. There’s just much more valuable content here.

I do miss some of the more niche Reddit subs i frequented before the purge. That’s probably the only thing really lacking. And it probably more a testament to how busy I’ve been this year. I just don’t have the time to explore other instance’s communities that Beehaw does federate with.

That means it’s working!

Not a piracy answer, but email the author(s). Most are excited that someone is taking interest in their work and will gladly send you the paper.

May I suggest pinning this for more visibility?

Whatever the decision is, it’s important that everyone knows what’s going on. Whatever the outcome, I’ll stay/move to wherever Beehaw resides. I enjoy the space and vibe that’s created here.

I don’t use instagram. The article touches on the privacy issues of Meta, but doesn’t really explain why Pixelfed is a better alternative or if it’s more privacy focused. Or even why I should use this platform other than “hey, it’s not Instagram”.

I’d trust some random people running an activity pub server just as much as I’d trust Meta with my personal photos: I won’t.

Coming from Wired, I’d hope the article would have a more technology focused approach, explaining to people they could host their own server so they take back control of their own data. Isn’t that the part of the point of the fediverse?
