But, Brawndo has what plants crave. It has electrolytes.

That’s perfect, Arth. Thank you.

You may have missed the “Save” button at the bottom of the settings page. I missed it the first try. :-(

I will look at that, but I am not sure it would work smoothly. The interface requires me to “Inquire” after two of the steps.

Would you want to be responsible for checking IDs over the internet? No sane company would want to be responsible for getting it wrong.

Also, would you be willing to send a scan of your drivers license to a porn website? Any website?

Also, say why. I would prefer to see subscriptions because I come here to see what’s popped up in those magazines, not what’s in some other magazines.

“Oreo was created in 1912 as an imitation of Hydrox.”

I have to enter data into payroll for when a teacher covers a class for an absent teacher. Usually, there are 5 teachers who I pay for one hour each. Each teacher has an ID number.

To pay one teacher I have to enter their ID number. Select their job code from a drop down list, tell the database I am adding to it by choosing or entering A in a box. Then I have to pull the date from a drop down list. Then I enter the digit 1 (to pay 1 hour). Then I enter the ID number of the absent teacher. Then I enter the sub request number created by the absent teacher. Then I click “change.”

I have to do this for all 5 teachers that covered the class. One-at-an-effing-time.

If I had a “dev” handy, I would say, let me enter the ID, date, and job number for the absent teacher. Let me list the 5 substituting teacher id numbers, and the 1 hour should be the default.

Of course there will never be a ‘dev’ around because my county purchased the payroll software and no one who is anywhere near using it gets to make the purchasing decisions.

I’ve been on Mastodon for little more than a year. People here have been generally polite and give each other the benefit of the doubt. I have yet to see a “flame war” as we used to call it on USENET. But Mastodon (and Kbin and Lemmy) instances will have to decide if they will federate with Meta’s new platform. I’m pretty vehemently opposed, but my Mastodon admin seems to think we should wait and see. So here we have Meta, which hasn’t joined the fediverse, has already begun fragmenting us. Is that our fault? Maybe. But I don’t think we’re the problem.

I can’t stand searching for a product on Amazon anymore. If I really want to use Amazon, it’s much more efficient to find the amazon link using duck duck go.

Oh, I would TOTALLY buy some US Senators. You think I could afford both Sinema & Manchin?

OK, true, but that’s why they want to charge 3rd party apps.

Ehh, if Reddit is getting traffic from people going to see the trolling, then Reddit is still making money.

How do I kick in to pay kbin.social costs?

You made me chuckle.

Here’s the first paragraph from Cory’s post:

“Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.” Reddit is in step 4.

You’re completely right from a user’s perspective. I think this post from Cory Doctorow helps explain what we’re seeing. He doesn’t talk about Reddit specifically, but it should be easy to infer the implications for Reddit from what he writes: https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/
