    No no, I don’t think this user is problematic. I just don’t like that their world views differ so strongly from mine yet they post such interesting articles.

    Unfortunately my want to block is selfish. I don’t like that someone is posting interesting articles that get me to the comments and then OP posts wildly conservative comments. I’m small minded...

    I’m small minded and like echo chambers, not tough differing world views!

    And can you display the YouTube video length while I’m in comments view? It gets shown on feed view, then I lose it after I read the comments.

    Can we get the user who posted displayed on the feed for non text posts? Like I want to know who posted the news article before I click into the comments.

    The way I’ve seen proposed is something like having liquor stores (gas stations) stock age verification cards. You go buy one there (where they check your ID) and then use the age verification code on the card when you go somewhere. Still maintaining anonymity.

    However - I know this isn’t the way they’ll do it cause you’re right it’s a charge to deanonymize the internet. 😢

    Off topic: I’ve always been conflicted with posts like this on aggregation sites. Do I (up)vote it as a thanks for showing it to me? Or do I skip it cause I don’t like the result? Like I don’t want people to think I voted for it cause I agree with the news.

    Silly I know.

    Not that I don’t agree with you. Just giving you history cause I can’t exist without mansplaining (usually incorrectly).

    Maybe ask for customer references? And then check with their customers about outages.

    Lemme also try to disconnect from the internet again and see what happens.

    Mine works perfectly fine without internet — enphase 14 panel system.

    The only need for internet is for monitoring energy production (if you want to). But my internet has been down many many times and my solar still works. AND the monitor they installed has a local web UI.

    Have you asked what happens if your internet goes down? Cause worst case if they sell you something with connectivity but it will work without internet, just “misconfigure” the ssid on the solar. Or pihole it.

    It’s been the toughest part of my life so far. I’ve gone through the depths of suicidal ideation and the highs of “I missed you daddy!”

    For me it’s a daily struggle of keeping these damn things alive and trying to feel like I’m doing a good job. It’s very easy to look back at the end of the day and remember all the things I got wrong. All the ways I could’ve done better. I rarely if ever feel like I’m being a great father.

    Which I say so that my wish to all you fathers out there has some context: Happy Father’s Day! I hope you feel like a great father ~~ today ~~ every day!

    I’ve noticed in the past year (and I’m guilty of this) shorter and less thoughtful answers creeping into tildes. I continually vote for conversational answers and topics though 🤷

    Forgive my ignorance: *describes trans women today *— I have very little experience in the space — is this assigned female at birth but express as male? (My terms might be wrong) or the other way around? Assigned male at birth and express as female?

    I could look it up, but I learn better from others.
