I’ve never heard of mujico, either positively or negatively. However, if your instance was blocked by my instance or by lemmy.ml, wouldn’t I not be seeing this post?

So, what’s your instance about? I’m intrigued!

In the context you’ve given, sure! I like it but I have trouble believing people when they say it.

Makes sense to me, nothing to add! I hope the fediverse gets better for marginalized people…

Unfortunately Lemmy being a reddit-like platform, there’s likely gonna be a bunch of reddit-like people in these comments saying reddit-like things that go against one or all of these guidelines.

One of my boyfriends is in the middle of forcing me to watch all of Naruto, and honestly I hate it so far? Once you’re a couple seasons into Shipuden they interrupt every single episode of actual progress with like 5 episodes of unnecessary flashbacks. Also the message is terrible, it’s misogynistic as hell and damn near fascistic.

For the One Piece fans here, I’m getting the impression that it’s like almost exactly the opposite. Is that true? If so we’re watching that next for sure.

Woww wtf!!

The outlawing of supreme leaders.

I do! We have them where I live and this has happened to me too lol. I like to consider it a sign of trust that they’re willing to get that close to me, even though it’s more likely they’re just kind of oblivious. Although, they do have the best eyesight of any centipede… so who knows!

I feel like my answer might break AskLemmy’s rule 2 about “Overt Politics”, but so do a lot of the other answers? Feel free to delete if so.

Please be nice to house centipedes, they’re friends. They won’t hurt you.

EDIT: Sorry OP, I shouldn’t have assumed any ill will, you seem cool!

Thanks! I hope your huckleberries and raspberries learn to get along, would definitely be nice to have both lol. I try not to think about the dead stuff too much, and just keep rebuilding, but it’s hard.

The elderberries are finally starting to ripen and the beautyberries are starting to fruit. The box huckleberry seems to be very happy this year, I dunno why though. The maypops and creeping cucumbers have finally come out, late as they usually do, and are climbing everything. Unfortunately so are the invasive morning glories that I have to keep rescuing everything else from. The young pricklyash is finally starting to look more like a tree than a rose bush. The ostrich and maidenhair ferns are having their second terrible year in a row, not sure what’s going on there. Mayapples are very nearly ripe. Finally, the neighbor and landlord have murdered an even greater chunk of the garden. Nearly a third dead to poison…

Patron using the computer: “Your Google is broken! No matter what I search, it just shows me books!”

Me: “…you’re typing in the library’s catalog. This isn’t Google.”

Sounds like it’s a date!

=°-°=

Northeast, but I travel southeast usually at least once a year! How’s Lowe Mill in Huntsville sound for a fun date? 😉

I’m not like a huge fan of myself either, so there, we have a thing in common already lol

To all of the people whose reasons are something self-deprecating about their confidence/appearance/personality/etc:

I’ll go on a date with you, if you want! ☺

I have voted twice a year, ever year, for the entire time I’ve been old enough. That said, I really can’t remember the last time I actually expected any meaningful change from it… Electoralism is a bandaid at best, and a distraction at worst. At least in the U.S., maybe it’s different elsewhere.

Aside from all the very valid criticisms everyone else has pointed out, there’s one thing that always made it totally unusable for me… When you open the app, the very first thing it does is show your front-facing camera?? What kind of unhinged behavior is that, are they trying to ruin my day?!

This kinda conflates hate for the unethical practices of the company with hate for the quality of their products, which seems unfair. As a company they’re definitely bastards. There was a long, long period of time where their products were pretty unquestionably top-notch compared to everything else out there. However, for a while now everything has been going really downhill. Then recently it’s really accelerated, especially with them leaning into AI. These days I hardly even miss them anymore.

I think my biggest suggestion might be to try to avoid the huge industry of companies selling “makerspace” stuff to libraries, i.e. GlowForge, etc. All of it is wildly overpriced and underpowered, at the supposed tradeoff of having a lot of support. It’s a bad trade, the support isn’t worth it.

Try to build your own open source equipment, like Voron for 3d printing, OpenFlexure for microscopes, all the Precious Plastics designs for plastic scrap processing, etc. Building these from scratch is ultimately cheaper. Also, it means you’ll know how to fix anything that could possibly go wrong, since you know it inside and out

Don’t worry about not having the necessary skills/experience. It’s all very learnable by anyone, and also there are definitely members of your community with those skills willing to help out. On that note, you really want the community running this thing more than the library admin. They know what they want/need.

Pay attention to the environmental and health consequences of this stuff EARLY ON, before you invest in something terrible. Use easily compostable materials like PHA and hempwood, or post-consumer recycled stuff like PETg from used soda bottles. Get into making/recycling your own materials if/when you can.

That’s what i can think of for now, hopefully that’s at all helpful.
