I had the same experience with OSM maps years ago, but you've convinced me to give it another chance. I'm looking forward to seeing if it handles public transport in Vancouver as well as Google Maps does.

Could be, for sure. I may try to post some things from Lemmy.ca to Kbin later. I was successful in posting from Kbin to Lemmy.ca a few hours ago, so I wonder if there's a problem in the other direction.

I'm not particularly concerned with how "the kbin user base" looks or any silly tribalism like that tbh. I'm just wondering if/why the issue might be happening. If the string doesn't appear in the git repo, that's a useful data point for sure. But plenty of people are confirming that something is going on, so the questions as to 1) what is causing it and 2) why are still out there.

A post on kbinMeta states that "Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances." More details here, but the theory is that -- rather than defederating -- lemmy.ml returns a 403 'access denied' message in response to any inbound requests from a user agent with "kbinBot" in the string. Upvotes, comments, and boosts don't seem to be going through. However, it appears that lemmy.ml still federates information outbound to kbin instances.

I'm wondering if anyone here knows what is going on and why it might be happening? Federation between Lemmy instances and Kbin instances seems to be a selling point for both, so I'm sure others using both services are curious as to what's going on.

Nope, I can't risk not being fully aware of my surroundings.

Don't forget to hit the CTRL button when clicking on any external links so they open in a new tab. Basically pretend it's 2012 again.

Gorsuch is a mixed bag at best on a lot of issues, but he has been as good as anyone could expect on Indigenous issues. Check out his concurrence in this case (starting on PDF page 43), which straightforwardly grapples with the history of forced family separations and residential schools.

I have an ebike that comes with a rear light affixed permanently to the rear of the frame. I think it would be more trouble than it's worth for a thief to steal, since it's wired to the electronic components and the connector is not situated in an obvious spot.

But I still get nervous about leaving the bike unattended for too long, lest someone get any ideas. Heck, someone actually broke into my storage locker a couple of weeks ago and just broke the affixed front light off my bike, not to steal it but just to be a dick. (They'd probably have taken the bike itself if I'd left the battery on it.) So now I use an old strap-mounted front light.

All this to say, I think the advantages of strap/clip-mounted light outweigh the advantages of an affixed one. But YMMV.

A good reminder not to let one's intrusive thoughts win

If Reddit were to back down from their API gamesmanship, I'd probably stick with Infinity, as it's a great app and easily my favorite 3P Reddit app.

I don't expect Reddit will back down, so in all likelihood I will miss both this service and this app. Damn shame.
