Are there any good Lemmy golf communities? I kinda miss r/golf

 

Is there any way to view and filter all communities on a single instance, aside from your home instance? I.e. my account is on lemmy.world, I can go to the community browser and select "local" and filter new/best/etc. Is there a way for me to do this for lemmy.ml?

I disagree with your view on IP, at least for pharmaceuticals. For most drugs, the exclusivity period is only 5 years, after which generic companies reverse engineer the product with ease and create a low-cost alternative. Without this period allowing pharma companies to make their money, there'd be no reason to invest the billions upon billions of dollars into R&D to discover and develop the drug in the first place. Most drug candidates fail, and the wins are what prop up the whole industry.

I'm not defending price gouging and I think all governments should control pricing, preferably with a single payer system (looking at you USA), but we would be so much further behind without patent protection. Especially for orphan diseases.

Don't really agree with you on IP for most creative purposes either. There should be a reasonable length of time you get exclusive rights to something you create. But this doesn't excuse Disney's stranglehold on the mouse.

Huh. Figured they did that cause fedd.it was already taken. Tried the domain and it redirects right to feddit.it

Weird.

I'll second CrDroid. Gabriel Wolfe I think is the name of the maintainer. He does a great job of it with updates coming out roughly every two weeks. I always had a couple bugs (camera not focusing quite right sometimes, some crash messages on reboot), but never any major issues.

The Wallstreet Journal did a really good podcast interviewing Kenyans who worked for Sama on this particular engagement. Most of them said it affected their lives deeply, one said his wife almost left him as he just "wasn't the person she'd married". I think she ended up coming back after he quit at least, but yeesh. Another said he pulled away from his young daughter after reading prompts about child sexual abuse. Can you imagine that level of mental health hit?

Boy, religious indoctrination sure is scary. Wide-scale brainwashing leading to death and destruction for 20+ years in this case.

Early seasons are great... But it just gets so sappy

Training was the way for me! I was a pilot beforehand, but it's such a unique and rather awkward movement that I probably would have really struggled without training.

I fly paramotors. Imagine a fan you strap on your back, a paraglider that goes overhead, and you run run run until you're airborne! Never fails to put a smile on my face when times are tough. And maintaining the engine and planning that next flight keeps me occupied when the weather doesn't cooperate.
