They do have a professional offering, but it’s offered in a deeply unprofessional way. Selling to businesses means you need both the technical offering, but also the correct commercial offering. That means presenting yourself in a way that attracts the attention of the decision makers in those businesses, and telling them a compelling story of why your product is the best fit to solce their problem. A .lol domain and a cartoon catgirl doesn’t do that.

I’d suggest that, for the cost of an extra domain name, and a boring logo, they could probably significantly increase their subscriber base. There’s nothing stopping them keeping the current mascot on the current site at the same time.

You call it stupid to prejudge a project in such a way, but businesses need a product to buy, not a project.

It is a big problem with a number of opensource projects that could get wider adoption and support, especially from businesses, but seem to, almost deliberately, work against that with their naming and/or branding.

Anubis is a perfect example. In this case the name is ok, and by all means have a cutsey mascot for the basic offering, but if they want businesses to subscribe they need a professional offering. That should be on a separate domain, styled to attract the decision makers in their target market, and that includes having a .com or similar domain name and a more serious logo. Do that, and it becomes a serious contender in the market, rather than a technically good but excessively kooky option.

There’s another tube from one nostril to the other, and that joins the main tube, so really humans are just tubes with four ends.

I’ve seen the poster text around for a long time, and the image is so generic it could have come from anywhere. Yours is a plausible “inspiration”, but humanized chimps have been a thing fir a long time too.

If they make a mobo that’ll take at least 64gb of DDR3, and an architecture that’ll use it, I’m interested.

Normal doesn’t mean right, it just means the same as usual, and they didn’t even hit that.

were they trying to finish the job by disconnecting her from life support?

I’d imagine so, yes. Clean up the loose ends as it were. Trying, twice, to kill someone and having them still walking around is rather embarassing after all.

Ah yes, thank you, it was, indeed, bertstrips@lemm.ee. It looks like they tried to move to !bertstrips@moist.catsweat.com, but it’s been a year since anyone posted there.

RIP lemm.ee, it was an excellent server, and my previous home.

I think the idea is that a light colour tends to make the room look bigger and “fresher” than a dark one. It’s also definitely a lot easier to paint over than a “Teal Ripple” feature wall. Neutral colours and basic but nice looking furniture also means a potential buyer isn’t put off by the current occupier’s decorative tastes.

The better quality stuff has quite a thick ‘wear layer’, with the effect all the way through that layer, so they don’t lose it too quickly.

Rather than “stop buying things”, maybe “stop subscribing to things”? There’s almost nothing that requires a subscription that is actually necessary or particularly beneficial to a comfortable life.

Buying food, for instance, is probably a practical choice for most people. Subscribing to yet another service streaming mindrot isn’t.

We used to have an entire community filled with these sorts of Sesame Street memes, but I think it vanished in one of the early server deaths. Is there somewhere they still exist?

Talk to your local council, or whoever looks after lighting in your area, they should be able to put a shade on it tgst blocks light from hitting your window. It might take sime effort to persuade them, but it’ll be the best solution.

Failing that, or in addition, as others have mentioned, blackout curtains do wonders.

No no, green means go! The monitor was telling you that you need to buy all the new games.

AI democratizes creativity in the same way as kneecapping everybody democratizes dance.

They’re right though, money can’t buy happiness, but it certainly can remove a lot of the things that impede it.

That’s really bizzare, on lemmy instances, even the poster’s home instance, it’s tiny and blurry, but on piefed instances (I’ve tried piefed.social and piefed.world) it shows up fine. Just obe of the mysteries of the fediverse I guess.

Check you’re not just seeing the thumbnail, it’s a good size for me. I think sone clients default to the small view unless you click them or similar.

Specifically, you want to be up wind of the fire, and it the fire is creating that wind in an inclined tunnel that might involve heading down, through the fire. Funicular railways and stairwells could both be places that’s necessary.

I don’t think I’ve upvoted any of their posts, but there’s been some reasonable discussions under some of them. Would you be happier if they’d found the image somewhere else? I mean, all original content would be nice, but realistically most of it is going to come from somewhere else. I think what’s bothering me is that I only see you doing this under this one user, when there are multiple other users who also habitually repost, and it seems to have become something of a monomania. My apologies if I’ve missed some more widespread comments.

I won’t block you because, apart from this, I generally don’t mind your posts, and I remember that you used to post more positively and even humourously. I hope that we see more of that, the fediverse needs more positivity. Besides, your username makes me laugh every time I see it.
