Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

Morning all! I'm heading up north for training for the next few days. First time I've been sent elsewhere for training!

Hope your day goes well everyone!

- Travelling for work is fun the first few times! Even better if you have colleagues coming with you.

Morning everyone. A bit chilly up here this morning. Just had a txt from our next door kiwifruit orchard, it’s Hi-Cane time again. Won’t be going into the garden when that happens.

- What's hi-cane?

  It’s a spray that encourages the kiwifruit to bud and flower so the harvest is easier as all the vines fruit at about the same time. It has had a lot of hate due to its potential for waterway pollution and harm to animals, birds, and humans.
  
  I can understand why the orchards use it, but it is pretty noxious.

I think you guys with lemmy.world accounts should consider joining a smaller instance. They have blocked some piracy communities over some pretty bs reasoning. Who knows what they’ll block next depending on their whims.

- 100%. Was just reading that shit show myself. There's definitely both up and down side to the fediverse

  I think most of those sorts of issues would be solved if you could easily move servers (taking your account and posts). Technically it should be possible to do, just not possible right now.

- Can't you just use your lemmy.world account to join communities on another instance? Or is leaving a moral stance?
  
  With their size, I'm wondering if they are starting to get cease and desist notices.
  
  Edit: ~~oh shit, they defederated an instance because of piracy on that instance~~? That's a different ballpark.
  
  Edit 2: seems they blocked cetain communities on another instance? I didn't think lemmy had that built in.
  
  Looks like a bit of discussion here:

  As far as I’m aware discussion of piracy isn’t illegal. I haven’t seen any direct links to content on the dbzero instance (admittedly I haven’t been looking).
  
  The fact they went along with it after a new account on a different instance asked them to block it is concerning though.

- Joined a smaller instance, got access to the removed piracy community, but lost access to any Lemmy.world communities.

  As long as the instance you joined is federated with lemmy.world shouldn't you have access to it? I don't know, maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in

I have a computer-based job but this morning I got to move heavy machinery and bust out a bag of grease. I learnt that my nose is programmed to itch as soon as I get all mucky, and our fancy bathroom soap is no match for whatever blue gunk I was using. But the machine in question still goes and sounds a lot better than it did before so I'm counting it as a win.

- But was it softofblue or really blue

  It was far more confident about itself than I am, a really nice shade of blue while I tend to dither about how blue I really am at heart.

- For grease, grab a handful of clothes washing powder and rub it all over your hands dry, then wash off.

Kid just came up with a handful of (their grandparent's) coins, and asked if I could take out "two hundred million dollars".

At taco bell for the first time. It was surprisingly satisfying tho I only got a chrispy chicken taco. I see they have a bell on the wall saying "did we make you happy" should I ring it?

2
- I rang the bell... Nothing happened

Today went well. Flight went smoothly and I've met some good people. Broke my phone screen tho which sucks 😞
