Data privacy isn’t to protect you from getting caught doing wrong things, it’s to prevent malicious actors from having the information to manipulate you. You don’t want phishers to have access to your life details that security questions ask about, even if each one is nothing to hide. You don’t want scammers to know where you went to school, who your teachers were, and what clubs you were in to build up a convincing backstory for their facade. You don’t want someone who wants to get something out of you to know who is important to you and threaten or impersonate them. It’s not about having something to hide, it’s about hiding personal details from those with malicious intent
I’d be shocked if they hadn’t heard that before
Yep, Ritza 25 Tiger thread 0.6 Aqua
My wallet wore out about a year ago. I liked the general shape, but was looking for a fun project, so instead of buying a new one I made a similar one, first out of paper, then scrap canvas, then scrap leather, then a final version from Walpier Buttero with edge paint and hand stitching in an accent color. I designed it in Inkscape, and laser-cut the pieces, including the holes for stitching, which allowed me to get very precise stitches. Not pictured - several paper/staples iterations on the pockets tweaking the pattern to my liking
Coloretto is one of my favorite simple games, and has a good 2-player variant
Cosplay is one example. There’s a handful of NSFW ‘cosplay’ communities, one not-very-active one on blahaj, and one squatted on .world by a user who is also squatting a whole bunch of clearly NSFW communities and has never posted or commented anything anywhere, and named themselves “@Moderator.” Laser cutting, Inkscape, some book fandoms are examples I was (and to some extent am) actively engaged with on Reddit where communities exist, but are far from a critical mass.
At a bare minimum it should be called ‘local subscribers’ to make that clear if there are technical reasons making a total number difficult
That’s one alternative that would allow people to request a community exists without just making an empty community, and leave it to people who want to participate and actively moderate to create them
This is why I like the term “Windshield bias,” a very common issue is talking about a space/experience someone has only experienced from behind a windshield, and getting someone to have a different experience can help cure that
“Windshield Bias” is a term I think needs to be more widely-used, because it’s more of a description of the issue than an insult
I’m not saying there are no good reasons to make a community without posting, but when that’s all a user has ever done, and they’ve done it dozens of times, I have a hard time assuming they’re just trying to help the fediverse thrive.
One suggestion I saw was auto-deleting communities that are still empty after a week, incentivizing new mods to upload something, not just squat names that were popular subs in hopes of I guess having some sort of power if they pick up?
Honestly no, I was mostly subscribed to smaller subs, and only the general communities here really have a critical mass. I’m definitely interacting more with general communities, but I really miss communities around niche interests.
I have hope that they will be here with time, but for now there’s a bunch of empty communities with no posts and a mod who has never posted anything anywhere, just made a few dozen communities with the names of popular subreddits, and even many the communities that aren’t in that situation have 3-4 posts and a couple dozen subscribers
Strongly agree, Skull is super simple to teach and even to make a copy, and can have great group dynamics. I don’t think it works with 2, though, but it’s small enough that having it as an option is reasonable
Absolutely! As Arthur’s theme song says - “Every day when you’re walking down the street everybody that you meet has an original point of view"
When you’re in a car, other people are obstacles instead of opportunities for connection. On for or a bike you can easily have connections ranging from a nod to pausing for a full conversation, and even changing plans to go along with a friend you run into.
The biggest problem with this is subjective metrics.
“Healthy” depends a lot on both what your needs are and the rest of your diet, there’s no one-size-fits-all.
“Delicious” is even more subjective.
‘Cheap’ at least is fairly objective, but even so different qualities, different locations, or different seasons can change prices drastically, and that’s before you get into the fact that what really matters is the more-subjective ‘cheap to someone of your means.’
Yeah, if the biggest thing we have to talk about here is how we’re glad we aren’t there, it’s never going to grow into its own thing. I don’t want to be part of a ‘we hate reddit’ club, I want to be part of a ‘cool things on the internet’ club
Nice! I hope that it works out well for you! Mine is still holding up beautifully
