"You have strong opinions."
My response: "Thank you! People with weak opinions aren't worth much energy. Thanks for using your energy for delivering a backhanded compliment. You gave me energy because I'm stronger than you'll ever be. Stay jealous."
Walk away & don't even give them a look back. Let people who think giving backhanded compliments is a good idea - suffer their own public consequences, when they run into people like me who bark back better & louder.

From Meteorologist Chad Crilley on FB: (11/11/26) Wednesday FULL Forecast โ Strong T-Storms Friday Morning, Four Systems on the Way
Southern California is heading into a VERY active weather pattern, with FOUR separate storm systems expected to impact the region over the next 8โ9 days.
โ๏ธ STORM #1 โ FRIDAY MORNING: Our first system arrives late Thursday night into Friday morning, and this one has my attention, particularly along the immediate coastline. There is the chance of thunderstorms developing over the coastal waters and moving onto our beaches. One reason is the relatively warm ocean water compared to the much cooler air moving in aloft. This temperature difference can increase instability, helping showers and thunderstorms develop. Some storms could produce locally heavy rainfall, lightning, and gusty winds. Not everyone will see thunderstorms, but the coastal areas will be worth watching closely Friday morning!
๐ง๏ธ STORM #2 โ SATURDAY MORNING: Another system quickly follows Friday night into Saturday morning, bringing a more widespread round of showers across San Diego County and portions of Imperial County. Periods of moderate rainfall will be possible, along with increasing winds, especially across the mountains and deserts. Rainfall coverage with this system could be greater than Friday's first round.
๐ง๏ธ STORM #3 โ MONDAY: After a relative break Sunday, another Pacific storm moves into Southern California late Sunday into Monday, potentially continuing into Tuesday. More widespread rainfall, gusty winds, and noticeably cooler temperatures are expected. This system could also begin bringing colder air into our mountains, allowing snow levels to start dropping.
โ๏ธ STORM #4 โ NEXT THURSDAY: Yet another system is showing up in the longer-range forecast for Thursday, November 19th. Confidence in the exact track, strength, and timing remains lower this far out, but the overall pattern continues to favor unsettled weather. Snow levels may drop further next week as colder Pacific air works into the region, increasing the potential for accumulating snow in our higher elevations if sufficient moisture arrives.
Most of Imperial County will stay dry over the next 7 to 10 days, but gusty winds will be possible. #Socalwx #Sandiegowx #Imperialcountywx #Brawley #Elcentro #Elnino #Oceanside #Encinitas

I think this is an instance owner thing. They run the instances and ultimately who owns and thus mods the communities on their instance. I doubt anyone running an instance would want anything foisted on them. I honestly am more concerned with development that allows users to control their feed as much as possible. Like being able to subscribe to a mod or someones block list. Or even better filter options that allow for complex blocking.

PyLova offers those features.
I don't suppose there's anyone else out there running Ubuntu 26.04 that has successfully run Front Panel Designer? It crashes on my new install using both the DEB file and the ImageApp file.
@Ricardus unfortunately I can't help you with your problem, but the progrsm sounds like it could be useful. Are u
You talking about this one?

Took the opportunity to expose my kids to ragtime music tonight, the perfect soundtrack to conning Robert Shaw out of a lot of money, or perhaps driving a boat if youโre also a mouse.

Interesting piece about the dynamic of immobility, fear & interpretation that is the experience known as sleep paralysis.
Whenever I wake & canโt move I just think โoh Iโm pinned down by the cats againโ & lie there feeling loved & protected until I drift back to sleep. Reading this I feel that a benign explanation for sleep/waking immobility may be a powerful protective talisman.
Letโs all have cats.
@26pglt I've never had a full awake sleep paralysis experience, but not rarely have what I assume is a lighter version: I have dreams where I'm trying to move quickly and can't or my legs are in deep snow or water and I can't move easily. It's never a big deal.

An acquaintance yesterday showed me a puzzle he had made.
The puzzle itself was contained within a beautifully turned wooden ball which had an opening about half it's diameter.
The puzzle pieces were irregularly shaped pieces of wood which had to be assembled inside the ball through the opening. It was necessary to start at the edges.
It is so difficult that even the maker can't do it without referring to his design.
I just had a disagreement with a coworker in my office about how a puzzle should be assembled.

@zl2tod @MLE_online Wow, amazing!
I keep forgetting to convert degrees to radians, which makes for an interesting pattern sometimes.
@th That's no moon!

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (โAm I The Asshole?โ) because company shareholders want to see โengagement numbersโ go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, thatโs โengagementโ. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the โAssholeโ, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the โdonโt make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we growโ idea.

What is the best structure of non-profit workers?
My husband loves to tell Summer and I stories about growing up. He remembers everything.
Today while we enjoyed the balmy weather and the colorful sky he told us about his mom.
He came from a mixed political party family. Dad and clan were Republican but his mom's family was Democrat.
Here I should note that there were very few people of color, except native Americans, in Humboldt County in the 1960's. One of the few worked for his family as their cook.
In 1963 she asked for the time off to ride a bus to Washington DC to see MLK Jr. give the speech at the Lincoln Memorial.
My mother in law saw how much it meant to her. She, against her husband's wishes, funded the bus fare and meal money as well as paying her wages while she was gone.
My husband preferred his mother's politics and never became a Republican. One of the things I liked about him right from the start.
