I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

I’ll say the developer is also very responsive. They’re (ambiguous ‘they’, not sure of pronouns) active in a libraries-fighting-bots slack channel I’m on. Libraries have been hit hard by the bots: we have hoards of tasty archives and we don’t have money to throw resources at the problem.


Our understanding of how words work is different and that is ok. We’ve clearly communicated how we each interpret the phrase, so there’s no misunderstanding in this case and we are unlikely to encounter the same phrase together again in the wild.
edit: root disagreement is that you believe the adverb “explicitly” cannot modify the verb “imply”, whereas I believe it can. I doubt either of us will convince the other.


It’s not explicitly saying X, it’s explicitly implying X. Really being explicit that they’re implying the thing.


“I’m not saying I’m running for president but I’m not not saying that, if you know what I mean”

I’ve never owned a printer, but have always had a job where I could print personal stuff. Highly recommend. My current job, I have a personal laser printer and it’s awesome. I use it to print letters, notes for doctor’s visits, and craft patterns.
and there’s no way I’d trust my phone enough to not print travel tickets. Paper backups ftw.


I charge twice whatever this guy charges, but I won’t diagnose you with cancer. You can trust me because I don’t sell cancer cures.


… even less if you also use a condom.


My dog ate breakfast at a reasonable time this morning. This is notable because he ate yesterday’s breakfast at 3am this morning.
(Old dog, forgets to eat. Sometimes I have to jump-start his appetite by literally spoon feeding him, then he’ll finish the rest of his super-smelly wet food himself)


Exactly. I’ll just go tell my teenaged cousin he needs to move and if he doesn’t then any ills befall him are on his shoulders. I’m sure he has full control of his situation and has chosen to live in Texas. That’s the choice I’d make if I was a trans teenager, for sure. /s (he knows I exist, am supportive, am queer, and am in a blue state, there’s just… circumstances. He’s racing towards graduation and college as fast as he can.)


Maybe add a note to your refrigerator and a card to your wallet, saying “hi, I have these pets. If I’m unable to take care of them please tell So-and-So at phone#. Their vet is blah.”


Payments available for withholding include the federal taxes collected from the paychecks of state employees, as well as grant payments owed back to the federal government.
As I read it: as a state employee my federal taxes would still come out of my paycheck, but the state would hold to the money. Sounds like it could get complicated for me come tax season.


I’d happily give 25 times that to help domestic abuse survivors and their pets. To put that princely sum in context: 50¢ could buy you a full-sized candy bar 30 years ago.


"Oh, you have a [baby|upcoming deadline|scheduled holiday] in your regular life? Drop everything and harass these protesters while trying not to worry about regular life "
I’d be frustrated, too.


Yep. My household has tentative fall plans to take a road trip to Canada, if we can’t get vaccinated in Freedom Land.
I’m so glad I didn’t update my passport to accurately reflect my gender. Living stealth sucks in some ways but is much simpler in others.


I get paid every 2 weeks, so slightly more often than twice a month. The twice a year “extra” paychecks go straight into savings because they’re not part of my monthly budget. It’s a government job in the USA.


You’re not a felon until after you’re convicted. Until then you’re just a sparkling nogoodnik.
(Please pardon if the joke falls flat, I’m in a queer mood.)


Sadly, Florida doesn’t have the right geology for mines.
Latest version of Anubis has a JavaScript-free verification system. It isn’t as accurate, so I allow js-free visits only if the site isn’t being hammered. Which, tbf, prior to Anubis no one was getting in, JS or no JS.
