@kaia@brotka.st they force you to upload your contacts to start conversations within the app (supposedly there's workarounds, but it's sketch that they do this imo). Besides that one thing, it seems fine for now(?) The chats are E2EE

@kaia@brotka.st Going to brunch with family. A little tired. I want to work on web dev hobby stuff a little later. How are you?

@dielan@shitposter.club Thanks to my shitposter.club monthly premium subscription, I am able to enjoy this image. Thank you shitposter.club admins!

@thatbrickster@shitposter.club yeah, that's not okay. I'd be furious too.

I have a philosophical question though. Like it seems generally accepted where I am in America for kids to get braces to straighten crooked teeth. But this seems cosmetic? Piercing a baby's ears feels unethical. But, if straightening crooked teeth is okay and piercing ears isn't, how do we make that distinction? Should parents not straighten their kids' teeth?

Probably a big distinction is that no one is straightening a *baby's* teeth. Maybe that's where it becomes unethical

@thatbrickster@shitposter.club I forgot about the pain part. I also forgot baby teeth fall out.

Fully cosmetic modifications then seems to be where the issue is. Since it would also be wrong to tattoo a child

@kaia@brotka.st you can archive them to hide them from your order history and you can prevent specific order items from being used to show you recommendations

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com guys who sit while peeing are immune

@hj@shigusegubu.club also, a project I used for adding some automated functionality to my insulin pump used node.js pretty sure. That still fascinates me

@hj@shigusegubu.club just the other day, I thought Misskey ran on Phoenix/Elixir, but was corrected when I viewed their repo. I wonder how Pleroma develolment (which uses Phoenix) is in comparison

@Moon@shitposter.club I like that 👍

@Moon@shitposter.club wow, it exists >.> (sorry if someone else mentioned it already, I can't view the post on your instance)

@hj@shigusegubu.club source? 👀

@kaia@brotka.st they often provide their own name servers. But that's an added service that's basically just expected for free now I think. All domain registrars do (as solely a registrar) is submit your info to the registry and collect money I think. Usually, the fees are pretty modest, but some companies like Endurance International Group like to charge very high fees (I've never heard something good about them).

@methyltheobromine@netzsphaere.xyz everyone on here gay, trans, or a nazi :P

@kaia@brotka.st it does look cool. Quite tall. Personally, I like cases without a window, though

@kaia@brotka.st probably like a month ago. Every so often I take an alcohol wipe or two and wipe the whole thing down

@kaia@brotka.st for the front view, I'm just imagining someone sitting it in with their face behind the glass

@Moon@shitposter.club If you want a wired FPS mouse, I like my Endgame Gear XM1r. I bought it in March. It doesn't have any RGB and I can configure how I want it solely with the buttons on the bottom of it.

One negative is there is no official warranty period. But they say they do "goodwill" exchanges/spare part deliveries within the first two years of purchase

@kaia@brotka.st I know it's a meme, but this reminds me of a more serious story.

When I was younger, I was at the beach and we didn't have my life jacket for whatever reason. I borrowed a different one. And it was not enough to keep me above water. I kept bobbing below and above water and was struggling and I was inadvertently headed towards the underside of a dock. Right before I was about to be fully under the dock, some nice teen girl pulled me out.

I'm sure I could've drowned with a lifejacket on if not pulled out in time.

@lain@lain.com I can get these at a lot of stores that sell Eastern European food near Chicago. Interestingly, the brand is "Dadu" here instead of "Dovgan."
