Never fall for a Fediverse Chick.

Occam's razor, it's so simple, how could it not be true

I just took a look at that and even though I don't know Portuguese I can figure out enough to see that people are talking about 196 drama over there too, haha

Ahh, those were the days. I was lurking, but I was there.
Edit: wait, I mean I definitely didn't break the Rule.

I'm not a cartographer, but the way I'd tackle this is to drill a small hole in the globe and spray paint in through it, so that the inner surface is opaque white. Then I would put together a cheap turntable-style 3D scanner using an off-the-shelf camera (there are open source designs available for this that you can buy as a kit or print using a 3D printer, then assemble following step-by-step instructions). Then, after scanning the globe and obtaining a textured 3D model of it, it should be relatively easy to convert the globe's texture from a spherical shape to a standard map projection using software. I don't know what software that would be offhand, but I'm sure it exists.

How about "a robot must have complete loyalty to its owner, even if this is not in the best interests of its manufacturer". Fat chance, I know.

The thing that I hate about discord as a replacement for forums is that it is completely closed off from the outside world. There's no searching it except from within discord. You have to join the server to even try, and discord's search sucks. It's an informational black hole that contributes nothing to the larger internet.

So do you have an alternative in mind, or are you just arguing that we shouldn't read?

Agreed, I don't hate it, but to me it's like I'm just eating pineapple and pizza at the same time. I love both, but eating both at once doesn't add anything for me and I don't think the tastes go together very well. I'd enjoy either one more on its own.

Thanks, I don't believe this is related to federation since the posts do show up in the feed and I am able to save them, or so it appears. They just don't show up in my saved posts when I later go and check. All other saves across all other sources seem to work fine, it's specific to lemmit.online saves for some reason. Haven't seen anybody else discuss this, but it isn't a popular source of content here either so that could be why.
