MeowKittyWow @beehaw.org Mid 30s game developer who likes bikes and minis. Gay and trans and loving it. She/her
Also over at kbin.social with the same username.
Results are not yet final but looks like we're fucking it up
Both are massive and useful sources of information, and their loss is and would be a tragedy.
The ideal imo would be their CEOs not driving the sites into the ground for power and profit. But, capitalism is what it is.
Delayed siberian sweep!
Delay to federate comments and posts?
I've noticed sometimes that comments and posts to communities on other instances take a very long time to show up on the main instance, sometimes never showing up. Like, I post something, and it shows up on beehaws copy. But, I go to the other instance to look, and I don't see it (though sometimes it shows up a few hours later). I checked and our two instances were federated in each case I have noticed.
Anyone else notice this? Is this expected?
There's been a million fan made upscales and they all look terrible, in a bad way, but you seem like the sort of person who would like them.
Howdy! I'm a mid-30s game developer. In a past life (my 20s) I was an astronomer, but academia sucks so I gtfo'd. I like to ride bikes, but I fell out of the habit over the pandemic; just getting back into it now. I enjoy boomer shooters, and indie games. Gay and trans and loving it.
I'm liking it. Seems chill. Some growing pains and there's not quite as much here as I was following on the other site, but, maybe that's a good thing and humans aren't actually meant to have a constant information firehose?
I noticed that there's one thread on lemmy.ca, made by an account on lemmy.ml, that I just absolutely cannot reply to. It hangs, and nothing gets posted. I'm able to reply to other threads in the same community.
How exactly are these things structured? Like, could that issue be related to lemmy.ml doing its migration, even if the topic was posted on another instance? It was very weird behavior.
Not sure if it's the same thing, but there's several DIY bike repair shops. I'm only really familiar with the ones in Toronto, but I know there are plenty elsewhere.
Most of them are open for folks to come in and use the space to repair their bicycles 3 or 4 times a week. Always volunteers around to help out (usually only to give advice though, most of the time it is still on you to do the work). I love visiting them to do minor repairs, though have never been a volunteer (considered it late 2019, but then pandemic started and I backed out).
Their funding is usually donations, any parts you need to use. All of the ones I've seen also sell refurbished bikes that the volunteers build outside of the DIY hours. Usually really cheap, since they mostly use donated parts. Not quite as cheap as craigslist, but less likely to be stolen :)
Never thought of a more general space for repairing things. I really like the idea.
I'm not big on the main parade, but I love the smaller community marches, and make sure to join them if I can. So, Toronto trans march and dyke march, for sure :)
I missed the advance polls but will definitely get on the the 26th. Fingers crossed it goes well 🤞
