Somehow I don't think Errol Musk knew that much about the geology. Allegedly he bought the shares on a whim without first visiting the mine, which was in a different country.

Mines can absolutely become suddenly unprofitable. You don't know how much good stuff is in the ground until you dig it up.

The mine went bankrupt in '89, just a few years after Errol bought shares in it. The boss was someone else.

Anyone remember this? (feddit.de)

I vaguely remember a video about history of weapons that goes like "rock, fast rock, pointy rock, (...) spicy rock dropped from big metal bird" (nuke) but I can't find it again. Does it ring a bell for anyone here?

If someone wants karma they could host a modified instance where every post gets thousands of upvotes for free. Other instances can't really verify whether that's accurate.

One issue with the fediverse right now is that there are many redundant communities. Like !technology@beehaw.org, !technology@lemmy.ml, !technology@lemmy.world, etc all having essentially the same topic.

I think the easiest solution to this is to take reddit's multireddit feature, allowing users to create their own "technology" multi-community that includes all the popular technology communities from all the instances. Thanks to federation, the user could interact with this multi as if it was one big community. Perhaps a way to share the multi with others so that all the component communities get federate-mirrored to the new user's instance would be needed too.

Brilliant Pebbles. A space-based ICBM interceptor program from the 80s.

The one part of Reagan's Star Wars that would totally have worked if they'd deployed it, but the Soviet Union didn't last long enough...

Is there any reason Lemmy isn't doomed to repeat Reddit's path? by 15Redstones in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Lemmygrad is blocked from federating with most other instances but still is a pretty large instance. Though that instance in particular is not very likely to look towards IPO.

It could happen if there was a very popular instance that didn't federate with others.

I made a little thing to more easily move to another instance:

A way to quickly grab a list of your subscribed communities.

Go to your list of subscribed communities, /communities/listing_type/Subscribed/page/1 and create a bookmark with the following code as link:

code

javascript:(function() {
    const currentHostname = window.location.hostname;
    const table = document.getElementById('community_table');
    const anchorTags = table.getElementsByTagName('a');
    const communityUrls = [];

    for (let i = 0; i < anchorTags.length; i++) {
      const title = anchorTags[i].title.substring(1);
      const parts = title.split('@');
      const community = parts[0].trim();
      const domain = parts[1] ? parts[1].trim() : currentHostname;
      const communityUrl = `https://${domain}/c/${community}`;
      communityUrls.push(communityUrl);
    }

    const urlsText = communityUrls.join('\n');

    navigator.clipboard.writeText(urlsText)
      .then(() => {
        alert('Community URLs copied to clipboard!');
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        alert('Failed to copy Community URLs to clipboard:', error);
      });
})();
Clicking this bookmark will automatically copy a list of all your subscribed communities and format the links so that you can pop them in the search bar of another instance to subscribe to them from another account. It can only scrape what's on screen, so if your subscribed communities list is several pages long just click the bookmark for each page.

German "Catastrophe" is "Katastrophe". "Katzastrophe" is "Katze"+"Katastrophe", which in english would be "cat" + "catastrophe"... oh.

Ich würde gerne !games@sh.itjust.works abonnieren, aber das scheint auf feddit.de nicht zu funktionieren. Taucht bei der Suche nicht auf.
