This is looking at total users, but I think monthly active users would be a better stat to use here. Lemmy has about 3 times the MAU of Misskey.

Edit: Also worth noting that Pixelfed has close to 3 times Lemmy's MAU now.

Is she trying to say "I am, baby"? Do people abbreviate like that?

Thank you, this thought had occurred to me recently, and I was wondering if it was accurate.

That's even higher than the roof!

The alternative is mind-body dualism, and it certainly hasn't been proven one way or the other.

Does the run end when you touch the ground, or do you have to actually make it to the gate?

That's why they're yellow.

For French origin words like "meter" American English inverted the last letters of "metre" to better match the pronunciation. Why isn't it also the case for other similar situations like "possible"? in c/[email protected]

I say we just admit that R can be a vowel, and drop the E entirely.

Neat tool to see how walkable different parts of the city are (close.city)
 

You can change the tool to filter based on different criteria. Discovered via this article: https://mynorthwest.com/3958094/colleen-obrien-seattles-new-walkability-maps/

is there a legal way to consume alcohol bought at a store, outside of a home, hotel room, etc.? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm thinking in the U.S. and Canada. For example, if you're on vacation, you've checked out of your hotel room and have several hours until your flight, and you have some cans of beer left over. I know you could sneakily drink them in a park or something, but I'm just curious if there's any way to do it that's legal.

Was in south Ontario, the sky was clear for about an hour before totality, and then about 15 minutes before, a big dark cloud came in and ruined it.

This video is from a couple of years ago, but I was reminded of it reading Tom's new book, Biking Uphill in the Rain. Recommended for anyone interested in Seattle history and/or biking. It definitely deserves more views!

It's hard to vote on comments that are only pictures (discuss.tchncs.de)

Normally you tap the text of a comment to make the vote buttons appear, but if the comment is only a picture, clicking it will just open the picture. I've only been able to vote by tapping the username and then finding the comment from their profile. Let me know if I'm missing something.

Edit: I've found that tapping text to the right of the username (the score or the time since posted) brings up the vote buttons, so this seems to resolve the issue.

Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I'm probably still doing it with some word.
