What about ON? Symbiotic/commensalist relationship of letting the beetle rest around your eyes for illusion of wondrous eyelashes?

Are the chokers somewhat adjustable to fit different size necks? Do you have any dislike or fear of giraffes? If yes and no, you might look into getting some giraffe dolls that are firm enough to basically wear and display the chokers and ease your selection.

You could even slightly decorate the giraffes to help in sorting them, supposing the wearing of chokers wasn't enough for your tastes.

...Has anyone tried to consume it, or observed anything else consuming it? The page doesn't seem to have anything on that...

Appreciate the example! It's when handling a DHCP range and the related CIDR notation that I tend to get especially muddled in this area. It certainly doesn't help that each router's interface and terminology tends to vary just enough to add uncertainty.

Regardless, the comments here and more focus on this have helped clear some of this up for me.

Thanks for some detail! What you describe reassures me in my decision not to get further into it, particularly as a professor path seemed one of few traditional options with what I studied.

Are doctorate/grad school programs distinctly competitive? My impression was that they were more challenging but similar in nature to undergrad insofar as loads of coursework to stay on top of to complete courses and ensure you got some of the most expensive, "You endured it!" paperwork in the world.

...How are they able to continue providing these but not maintain the Bridge Access Program for the uninsured? 🤨

 

Asking for clarification as what I've read suggests yes, but is also sometimes coupled with advice to (still?) set a static IP outside of the DHCP address range as well.

Thanks in advance!

Is there an AcademicDictionary in the vein of Urban Dictionary for all the jargon and filler patterns?

Covert? Isn't India one of few countries consistently and unabashedly trading with Russia? Is this covert in the open secrets sense?

I think separating them improves the user experience for regular users, which I think counts as a real advantage. As I wrote in the body text:

As-is seeing an indication of a comment for a post only for it to turn out to be a bot is slightly disappointing at best, and mildly confusing at worst when their display has been disabled.

It's a small detail, but small details add up when it comes to the user experience.

 

For admins and moderators, keeping the comment counts including bot comments visible (especially in a moderators' own communities) may be valuable, but not sure if it's all that valuable for ordinary users.

Would it be possible to make it so bot comments don't add to the counts for regular users, or at least for those that have disabled the display of bot posts/comments? As-is seeing an indication of a comment for a post only for it to turn out to be a bot is slightly disappointing at best, and mildly confusing at worst when their display has been disabled.

 

Looking at you various USB cables with subtly different capabilities.

By automated reporting do you mean something like filters on the backend to flag offensive posts per some custom settings?

The pre-seed stage startup is backed by angel investors and NYC accelerator Wolf, which Openvibe attended last year.

Openvibe is available as a free app on iOS and Android, but plans to experiment with a desktop version. The app will later introduce a subscription plan to generate revenue.

Have any services like this managed to develop a sustainable business model, especially after taking on investment?

 

I was working on some stuff on my PC and stepped away for a bit, and on returning noticed notifications on it that some files had been downloaded via KDE Connect from my phone. I was using my phone at the time, and didn't send the files.

I know that you can quietly download files from a phone with its paired device (i.e. no notification on the phone, nor prompting permission) from allowed directories, but these files weren't from those directories, so...What may have happened here?

Glitched notifications, or something else?

Also, the downloaded files weren't anywhere on my PC, so... 😕

edit:
I found an issue report I think may be what I was seeing: KDE Connect spams the desktop with a torrent of old notifications.

 

Sometimes I feel like if I do so I'm basically serving as an ad, and I don't really care for that, especially if later I find that the business was scummy in some ways (which is often the case, especially later as it changes leadership/ownership).

If you do, how do you deal with it?

 

I know this will vary a lot with each product, but I'm curious about all the different weird ways this goes down in different industries.

Whether we're talking movies/music/books/games/shows, random toys or as seen on tv things that there must be a bunch of failed companies involved with or whatever else, I'm curious to know!

 

By this I sort of mean like, in the case of Lemmy for example, something like a built-in Lemmyverse of sorts.

It wouldn't be pulling in data yet from other instances, but it would enable seeing that their communities were out there so you could then tell your server you'd like to subscribe/follow/etc. their community/channel/account.

Tbh despite having been around the fediverse for awhile, I'm not sure how else ActivityPub servers were supposed to have these different things found to start with.

 

I recognize this will vary depending on how much you self-host, so I'm curious about the range of experiences from the few self-hosted things to the many self-hosted things.

Also how might you compare it to other maintenance of your other online systems (e.g. personal computer/phone/etc.)?

 

Discoverability in this context meaning the ability to more effectively find public communities/people of interest. Alongside improving this however, respecting people's decisions on whether and how they may be found, if at all.

 

By novel I mean not emulating an existing popular platform, e.g. Lemmy-Reddit, Mastodon-Twitter, etc.

 

It's kind of silly, but I still really dig the idea behind torrenting and peer to peer sharing of data. It's cool to think about any old computer helping pass along some odd bits & bytes of data, whether a goofy drawing or strange story.
