At your local essential oils peddler.

I find a behaviour limiter works.

Could be both: “I will now play ‘Cry me a river’ on the world’s tiniest violin.”

With a bang.

“Sniff the cod” This is a typo right? I don’t know any better, but I had a good laugh.

A myth.

While “former president” is a correct title, the media should really use “petulant man-child” instead. Far more accurate .

Sure, I’ll agree that they did break down. Everything does at some point or another. Back then it was easier to repair your equipment and you had the right to. That’s why they were “built to last”

Then, as time passed, that changed. It became difficult to find the necessary parts for repairs.

Example: My father is a heavy equipment mechanic. I’d say somewhere in the last ten to twenty years, his suppliers started to refuse selling specific parts he needed because he’s an independent.

He also described to me how some jobs he takes today feel like he’s handling a bomb. If he so much as trips a stray sensor, a representative from the machine’s manufacturer will come sniffing around the yard to catch him.

Then there’s the knowledge required to perform the necessary repairs. The common sentiment I hear from people is that it’s cheaper to replace than to repair. They’re not wrong, however this way of thinking demotivates the need to learn how to repair it.

So yeah. Those built to last machines have broken down. Knowledge and parts for them have become difficult to acquire, however an enthusiast willing to put the time in to repair them will have a machine that hums for the rest of their lives.

My dude, they said “1950’s”, and “decades”. They’re no longer around cause it’s been decades since the last one has been produced.

Seems like the police did the seeking, lol

Where have I seen this before? Oh yeah: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_Games

They’ll be fine.

Forgive my lack of knowledge. Is it possible for another party to come in and replace the Republicans? I realize that’s likely not feasible assuming that both parties are well stapled by their voters, but I am curious about what the next steps are if they cease to function.

Jokes on you! I tilted my head!

Honestly, I feel like the answer you’re looking for is a federated single sign on app. The real challenge will be building the right tools and community mindset for determining what a “trusted” instance is.

Why does every post of this clown have a picture of him cosplaying as Dr Evil? If newsrooms can attach unflattering photos of Zuckerburg, they should be able to use unflattering pictures of Musk.

It does? I don’t recall that happening.

Careful now, that same kind of wishing gave us a plague, lol.

Thank you for this, Space Noodle.

That’d be nice. I think this is what confused me - I made an account here, and expected to be able to use this account to interact with other packages like Funkwhale. However, it seems this is not the case. Each package requires you to create an account on their platform if you want to interact with their content within their app.

I can see how the incompatibility can happen, despite the common protocols, each package serves a different purpose. For example, what should be shown when you subscribe to a video hosting service through a Lemmy instance? An aggregated list of thumbnails? A list of videos? What is a video hosting service to a link aggregator.

Despite having a common protocol, it does seem impossible to have one app handling everything.

Thank you for your reply.
