‘Beyond cruel’: Newsom retaliates against this LA suburb for its ban on homeless shelters by ALostInquirer in c/news@lemmy.world

[-] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

The move — the latest escalation of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s pressure campaign on cities to help solve the housing crisis — means Norwalk could lose eligibility for state housing and homelessness grants, and be forced to approve affordable housing projects even if they conflict with city zoning.

I'm confused, how would they fund the housing projects they may be compelled to approve without the grants, given that some of the contention in all of this is an insufficient provision of resources?

What are they?

I have 100 chokers, What is the best way to store them? by ALostInquirer in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 78 points 2 days ago

Are the chokers somewhat adjustable to fit different size necks? Do you have any dislike or fear of giraffes? If yes and no, you might look into getting some giraffe dolls that are firm enough to basically wear and display the chokers and ease your selection.

You could even slightly decorate the giraffes to help in sorting them, supposing the wearing of chokers wasn't enough for your tastes.

Seems likely big businesses would be obvious targets for tons of unwanted phone calls, so how do they deal with this?

Given that instances can disable downvoting altogether, it led me to wondering...

Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network? (lemm.ee)

submitted 1 week ago by ALostInquirer@lemm.ee to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

24 comments fedilink

Asking for clarification as what I've read suggests yes, but is also sometimes coupled with advice to (still?) set a static IP outside of the DHCP address range as well.

Thanks in advance!

Should bot comments contribute to the comment count for regular users? (lemm.ee)

submitted 1 month ago by ALostInquirer@lemm.ee to c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

3 comments fedilink

For admins and moderators, keeping the comment counts including bot comments visible (especially in a moderators' own communities) may be valuable, but not sure if it's all that valuable for ordinary users.

Would it be possible to make it so bot comments don't add to the counts for regular users, or at least for those that have disabled the display of bot posts/comments? As-is seeing an indication of a comment for a post only for it to turn out to be a bot is slightly disappointing at best, and mildly confusing at worst when their display has been disabled.

The safest option is obvious, don't try to access its contents, but if you absolutely had to, what steps would you take to minimize/contain any potential harm to your device/network?

Plus Taylor Swift who has been immensely popular for like...What, over a decade now? Only now suddenly wielding her influence to run the government or something? Please, she's rich, popular, and in business, she basically operates as her own independent nation without needing to run anyone else's. 😂

They're not also locked into Facebook? It seems like far too many public services communicate through these non-public platforms (i.e. often more easily viewed or sometimes only viewable with an account).

Somehow this is the first time I've ever seen, "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" shortened that way and it left me thinking it was something even more arcane 😂

How do people go about making really long images like this? And also, what screen resolution are they aimed at?

Any time I find images like this I end up having to zoom in & pan about to read whatever text's included. It's not much trouble, but when I come across them I'm often a little perplexed by the formatting.
