GMail did this early on, and it most definitely worked.

The only thing which distinguishes us from fascists is principles. “Facts” are not something I am willing to abandon, on principle, at least not on the strategic level.

As a discrete tactic, sure, lie to ICE, lie to cops - but when we’re talking about lying to everyone, that’s over the line for me.

And every fair shuffle of a deck of cards produces a card order which has never been seen before, and will never be seen again. Ooooo scary!

NO YOU’RE WRONG

Abandoning facts seems like a bad idea.

I was on reddit for sixteen years, and on digg and a little slashdot for several years before that. I spend a lot of time in places like these. I’m not even on a super popular instance, and there’s plenty of content here.

Precisely.

Jeep Renegade is a rebadged Fiat 500L.

That’s not how Pinto axles were. The differential assembly bolts in from the front.

A more appropriate solution would be a plastic shield designed to fit around the whole front of the gas tank, and then appropriately fixed to the vehicle, as opposed to “some hardware store shit.”

It would have prevented the “spark” part of the failure condition, but not the tank rupturing part.

The Pinto got well known for a couple of reasons.

One, the classic “exploding in a rear end collision.” The design flaw here was that in certain rear collisions, the fuel tank would be pushed into the rear differential. Not only could this rupture the fuel tank, it could also produce a spark. Boom. Lots of cars had this same design in the 70s, with the fuel tank low in the rear, right behind the rear differential.

Two, the infamous Pinto Memo, which did a cost benefit analysis that determined it would be cheaper for Ford to not fix the problem, and just settle whatever cases came up. This very clearly inspired the Fight Club recall formula scene. Take note that the car used in that scene is a Lincoln Town Car, produced by Ford Motor Company.

The kicker for the Pinto recall? What they did to fix it:

• Two sheets of 1/8" plastic, each about 18" square
• Some long zip ties
• Layer the two sheets over the rear diff, zip tie them to the axle

That’s it. My dad pointed this out to me in his shop some time in the late 80s or early 90s. He had a Pinto in for an oil change or something, “Hey, let me show you this.” It was such a hacky “repair.”

Good. But not for the reason you think.

White collar workers are workers. They just don’t realize it. Yet.

American Federation of Government Employees membership has increased dramatically. Fucking with every federal employee makes for a stronger union.

Unions fight back.

All efforts great and small. Together, we are greater than the sum of our parts.

I’ll take executive order for 200

If they used on premise Exchange, that doesn’t have any spam filtering capability on its own. You’d have to have a third party filter doing that work.

Exchange Online (M365, whatever the hell they decided to call it this month) does have spam filtering.

which is just self-hosted Outlook

In the context of email, the Outlook application is an email client, thought they do try to make it do way more than it has any business doing. You can have Outlook connect to any POP3/IMAP/ActiveSync mailbox, regardless of the mail server platform on the back end.

I think Microsoft decided to make the outlook.com email domain to consolidate branding, even though the hotmail.com domain still exists for people who are still using it from before.

I feel like the functional differences between instances are:

• Interface and mobile apps (Lemmy vs mbin vs Piefed vs other)
• More populated instances are going to have more “extra-instance” content federated to them, because more users means more subscriptions to comms/mags/whatevers at foreign instances
• Instance uptime and reliability (which depends heavily on the number and attentiveness of instance admins)
• Different instances will choose to defederate with other instances in different ways

When I first immigrated here, the most popular platforms were Lemmy and kbin. I liked the kbin interface more, so I started on kbin.social - which folded after a while. So I switched to fedia.io, which runs mbin, a kbin fork.

None of this has anything to do with “aligning a personal identity with an instance.”
