Found this moka pot at a friend's relative's house, they said it's been in their family for a bit over a decade. It just broke about a week ago, but it seems like it means a lot to them. Unfortunately they're a little too old to check out how to get it fixed, so I'm thinking of doing it for them in the near future just as a gesture.

Question is, is it possible? If so, what needs to be done/replaced?

I feel like there should be a Lemmy version of everything now

 

In the past, we've had issues with women suffrage, slavery, and sanitation, among many other things.

Today we have gun control, AI, intended/unintended false information, vaccines, etc. as consistently hot topics.

In a few decades' time, what views do you have now that may spark major social debate in the future? What conservative and/or progressive stances do you take today that might be too far on either extreme in the far future?

Damn that's just over 1 and a half pints

 

My MHR character

Both of my main characters in MHW and MHR came all the way back from my Guild Wars 2 days(last image). The male one was my own creation and the female one was my wife's, but I bring both of them through all of my games now as if they're traveling through different game worlds.

What about you guys?

Here's my attempt at making it as simple as possible. (Sorry to anyone who has seen me repost this in several different communities, just trying to make it easier for people to engage and this seems to have good feedback)

The Fediverse

  • The Fediverse -- Federation + Universe -- is a space on the internet that hosts several social media-like platforms. Lemmy is like Reddit, Mastodon is like Twitter, PeerTube is like YouTube, etc.

  • The main difference -- in terms of ownership and influence -- is that these platforms aren't owned by a single entity in the same way Google owns YouTube, Elon Musk with Twitter, Meta with Facebook, etc. In contrast, the Fediverse and its platforms are decentralized meaning no one wholly owns it and a person can't just make a decision for the entire Fediverse/platform.

  • As a relevant example, no one can just arbitrarily decide to make you pay $20 million per year for accessing a platform's backend stuff. The Fediverse avoids the advertising, algorithms, and other unpleasantries that plague many social networks.

  • As well, different platforms within the Fediverse can communicate with each other, like how a Gmail user can email a Yahoo Mail user. Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube can't do that.


Lemmy

  • Going back to trying to ELI5 Lemmy... Lemmy the platform, within the Fediverse, is one planet. Like planet Earth in the universe

  • “Instances” like lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, etc. are like the different countries on Earth

  • When someone signs up, the user picks one instance to be a part of, like how an Earthling becomes a citizen of a country

  • If you register at lemmy.world, that means your home instance / “home country” is lemmy.world, but you can “travel” to lemmy.ml, another instance / “country”, to check out and subscribe to their community

  • When you subscribe to a different instance that’s not your home instance, you can still participate in their content, and other people will be able to see which instance / “country” you’re from

  • Each instance can have its own version of the same community / “subreddit”, so you can have a c/Memes in your home instance that is different from a c/Memes in another instance. But you can subscribe to both separately

  • c/[community name] is the naming convention used here I think like r/[subreddit name] on Reddit. If talking about a community in a different instance, it's c/[community name]@[instance name] so like c/memes@lemmy.ml

Someone please correct any of this if any of it is wrong, I’ll happily edit
