I’m sure there are such pets with names and unknown mystery owners where the pet has achieved the only true form of immortality thus far. There are hundreds of lives in that image, from mining the clay, to the Potter’s wheel, and into the fire for countless vessels. Then to get broken and discarded onto one of the mountains of refuse. Only to then be collected and fractured to be sold at a forum, and finally into the hands of a guild artisan placing each one. Slaves then filling the grout and smoothing any sharp edges. The family living out their lives, and for hundreds of years more others living in the house until some great flood or disaster buries the house beyond what could be economically recovered… All presided over by this immortal dog, witness to the fleeting lives of all that passed it by. They, never thinking to take a moment and add their names to the list of the immortal.

I totally get it there bud, I’m a hardcore roadie cyclist that faces and does much the same. Just stay out of my bike lane… and beware of parallel parked cars that make u-turns. That’s what bit me twice and broke my neck and back. Have fun and be safe

If someone would implement the api option to discard all downvoting I would use whatever front end does doom scroll and defaults to no negativity.
Really, someone should create more mod granularity too, like mod view and user views should have different settings for blocking and voting views by default.
I just generally prefer to use the browser for battery life and minimalism. I have never had the patience to get past page 3 of the default pager view, while doom scroll keeps me around for better or worse.

I would rather us all be together. I’m the janitor of 3d printing here. I’ve tried other accounts and have several, but I only use a mobile browser and like Alexandrite most. LW is well managed for the most part and stable. I’ve been here since the LW server was 3 weeks old and had less than 2k users.

You can get better power efficiency and sometimes some I/O with an old router and OpenWRT, but you’ll be in the class of a Beagle Bone and a much harder learning curve. I’ve never managed to get a sensor or peripheral working on some old laptop’s SPI or I2C buses like how easy it is on a Rπ.

There are primitive people that are far too scared to risk abandoning their mutually exclusive social support network. They exhibit angst at the unknown and unfamiliar and sway in the direction of fight from their fight or flight mechanism. None of this behavior is within the scope of their self awareness. They exist in a fixated cult like state of tribal ignorance and stupidity, and are wholely incapable of curiosity and learning from sources outside the scope of their tribal isolation.
I was this way before my self awareness grew past the point of reflection. My entire family is like this as are my former and abandoned social support network I am now ostracized from as a result.
This is the actual barrier in place that enables cult like isolation and fixation. Meanwhile, these systems are wholly built upon outsourcing ethics to an organization that only wields shame to keep members in line. Shame can never motivate positive action. Shame can only negatively curb behaviors. Without positive feedback, these systems can only produce depression and negative austere conservative people able to cope with the lack of endorphins. It is truly sadistic in nature. Those that are still out of balance are considered undesirable when their cognitive dissonance pushes back in actions the person may not even understand or register.
Religion is largely a cognitive dissonance factory because of these factors. This does not excuse actions that harm others. But it is this antiquated system of subtle harm in the religious tribal structure and its cult like exclusivity of social network isolation that create people with no independent ethics, unable to learn and reason well, and scared of everything outside of their tiny bubble of a life.

I have no interest in these projects to support something maybe useful to you but that I already know. I’d rather just do what I do now and keep it to myself. I’m physically disabled with no meaningful income. Gatekeep your hobby and financial position all you’d like, but **** your random prejudiced negative vitriol towards strangers.
𞋴𝛂𝛋𝛆@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•If you can afford it, PeerTube is having a fundraiser for its mobile appEnglish4·3 days agoNot necessarily. Like I don’t have my YT stuff stored anywhere any more.
Shorter format stuff – sure, and that seems to be the only focus really for peertube now. Most of the YT stuff I posted was like bits and pieces of my journey of creating a product photography studio and progress I was making while still in my collar with a broken neck. I also made electrical hobby and bicycle stuff. I typically uploaded long format with 20-40 minutes detailing what I tried and what did or did not work when fixing stuff that is supposed to be unserviceable or undocumented and like reverse engineering type content. Some of those proved to be a reference I used many years later. My digital storage has never been at a very high quality level. Most of my motivation is like here on Lemmy; I want to share and just be a little social while maybe providing some useful tidbit that helps someone. I’d rather relegate that digital archiving to someone else mostly because my life has never been well supported or super stable.
