Mastodon is to Twitter as Lemmy is to Reddit.

The Justice Of Kings by Richard Swan

He's a friend of mine! This is the first time I've seen organic mention of the book - very cool!

I've never heard this phrase, and I'm struggling to figure it out from context. Does it mean that you regret the purchase after finding out it's not as good as you thought, but then don't replace it with something better because you don't want to spend more?

Helps that Lemmy has orders of magnitude less content. After the third time refreshing with no new content, it gets much easier to put the phone down.

"they could just as easily present them in a way that wouldn't be blocked" would be a more accurate way of phrasing it. Facebook is not the one blocking this content - rather, it's detecting that it has been blocked (clientside)

I feel like you're using "supercede" differently to the rest of us. You're getting a hostile reaction because it sounded like you're saying that EM is no longer at all useful because it has been obsoleted (superceded) by QM. Now you're (correctly) saying that EM is still useful within its domain, but continuing to say that QM supercedes it. To me, at least, that's a contradiction. QM extends EM, but does not supercede it. If EM were supercedes, there would be no situation in which it was useful.

"X depends on or is built up on Y" does not imply "X is Y". Concepts, laws, techniques, etc. can depend or be higher-order expressions of QM without being QM. If you started asking a QM scientist about tensile strength or the Mohs scale they would (rightly) be confused.

With the jobmarket the way it is?

Historically awful? Don't get me wrong, the advice is still solid, but this was a weird way to preface it - it's the hardest time in my 10-year career to "just find a new job".
