He gave you a good one but I’ll explain: there is no karma here. But spammers have a lot of accounts, which would mean one spammer would be able to elect himself which is not what we want.

Middle age (to me) is 40's and 50's
Older 60's
Senior 70's-80's etc.

But all relative, too. People tell me I look a lot younger than I am... have run into cyclists in their 70's who look like they are they are in their late 50's too, probably won the genetic lottery, lol.

Ukraine Declares Typographic Independence

Official documents may not carry the legacy of foreign domination. Ukraine is developing its own national typeface, #Zakon (law), to replace Russian-designed fonts still used on certificates, diplomas and plaques – most of them designed by Paratype, a Russian type foundry that stays true to its roots.

Created by 4 Ukrainian type designers (Oleksiy Chekal, Hennadiy Zarechniuk, Dmytro Rastvortsev, Andrij Shevchenko) Zakon draws on the country’s graphic heritage, with asymmetrical serifs and distinctive diamond-shaped dots above certain letters. The family includes Text, Decor and Letterpress versions. Zakon Text is already available free of charge, while the full system is still being tested.

in flat Chicago, my fixed gear is perfect. prolly would do well in NYC too and served me fine in Baltimore for many years.
i like the easy maintenance too

Siri, open the garage door!
Open the pod bay doors please, Hal!

Siri won't open the garage door on Apple's new HomeView. Just like HAL wouldn't open the pod bay doors. Luckily, Apple says a software update is coming to fix this and I live to see another day! Sorry, Dave...

@ai6yr
That seems like a pretty, ahem, SMART question to ask...

But that’s not sufficient. It takes years to build up a community to have enough people for meaningful discussion to happen

It literally takes as few as 2 people to have a meaningful discussion, so the idea it needs to be some kind of massively large site is already a false premise.

Yeah, agreed. In terms of niche communities I know…

• There are like 5-6 of us posting weekly on !gothindustrial@lemmy.world with occasionals popping in. We get a regular number of upvotes (329 Monthly Active Users) tho not a lot of discussion/comments
• on !sumo@lemmy.world there’s only like 3-4 daily regulars during tourneys and we have more comments than upvotes sometimes, but it’s a fun community
• on the other hand, !juggalos@lemmy.world is pretty dead because there were only 2 of us (there was a third person but they disappeared) and I think we got bored posting to each other

So in terms of a rock bottom number of “engaged community members” to keep a community alive, I’d say it’s closer to 6 than 2. But yeah, it doesn’t have to be a massively large number.

@csacaness Nope. Those are British style ginger cookies. Good, but the wrong direction. The closest I've seen in Kaldi is the Wicklein Gingerbread.

Sometimes they also get the really good stuff from Nuremberg, but usually not more than a few boxes...

Zeke Lunder goes off on that new "full suppression" crap in one of his posts on the lookout.

Steep, rugged, inaccessible terrain combined with weather conditions that lead to fires spotting far ahead are not places where we should be putting resources.

if there are no assets at risk why put anybody at risk?

@liaizon extremely rare happening! and now im going to be dead until monday
