I’m just nodding along and hoping no one notices i don’t know what’s happening

That would be a very long bridge, probably too long to biuld. Notice the size of lake Ponchartrain by New Orleans, which is 24 miles. This would be a bridge hundreds of miles long. It’s likely not feasible, sadly.

not quite. While it’s true that rust has a reputation for taking longer to write and release in, green field development is a lot easier to work in than stuff that already has a lot of moving parts and places that you need to consider the affects of changing one thing to somewhere else.

Obligatory MOAR!!!

trying to get sucked into the lemm.ee “after shutdown” anime?

There are a few towns that became their own internet providers b/c the big guys wouldn’t bring them either any or adequate service and they realized they could do it themselves more cheaply. They had to fight anti-socialism propaganda and of course lobbying and disinformation campaigns from the big providers, despite the fact that they had no intention of ever going there.

I just looked in to it b/c my browser isn’t showing it either. It turns out the alt text is just for when the image doesn’t load or screen readers. The title text is supposed to be for tooltips, or what you’d get if you hover over the image.

A place where unnecessary injuries and torn ligaments happen.

that was ironic

there is one issue that I’ve found - my work blocks lemmy.zip, so I’m using the piefed account I made to test it.

My guess is that it ends in “.zip” and is getting blocked, b/c the rest of lemmy they aren’t bothering with.

that is very good to know, especially the tuning. Thank you!

thank you, that’s a good reference :)

thank you! that’s actually quite useful
