Paige@piefed.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Shows that were only popular in your country?English6·18 days ago“Have you ever, ever felt like this” Australasian solidarity kicks in like we’re standing in Anzac cove.
Paige@piefed.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Shows that were only popular in your country?English5·18 days agoI run into an Australian about once a year in Montreal and suddenly launching into singing that song within the first minute is the fastest way possible to make a new friend.
Paige@piefed.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which book(s) left a lasting impression on you?English15·1 month agoThe Selfish Gene.
As soon as the concept clicked halfway through the book my days as an evangelical were over.
It was interesting to me to hear years later that Wall Street types found it influential, because the thing I found most compelling was the explanation of why altruism and social generosity were rational traits.

Paige@piefed.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Theoretical Private Age Confirmation -- Possible?English4·1 month agoTotally possible and something you can do already with digital ID. Checkout RealMe in New Zealand: https://www.govt.nz/browse/passports-citizenship-and-identity/proving-and-protecting-your-identity/use-realme-to-prove-your-identity-online/
A big issue is that many countries are a decade behind in implementing this system. They’re effectively asking the liquor store to check customers are 18, without government ID existing. So now the private sector is creating ID solutions to avoid legal liability. It’s a real mess.
Paige@piefed.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favourite less well known app/software?English4·1 month agoFreedom - https://freedom.to/

That and space, think of the cost of having an extra room in the house for all that stuff.
Thanks for posting this!
Wonder what’s going on there
Paige@piefed.cato Fediverse@lemmy.world•Clarifying Costs of Running the Fediverse with Jerry from Infosec.ExchangeEnglish1·1 month agoIt doesn’t store media forever that is routinely cleaned and configurable in the administration settings for the instance. The content cache, which is database storage used for the text and meta-data of posts is more typically an issue over time because this requires commands to be run on the server to free up space, which many people do not do. https://fedihost.co/blog/slug/managing-mastodon-storage
Good ideas for something like a “10 tips” video or something to help people up their game.
One option is to get involved with fairvote. I was in the US for the election and it felt good to be doing something about the underlying systemic issue that made this so much worse in the US.
