Anyone got a non-YT link? Or just the recipe? Something? TY in advance!!!
Agreed! And yeah, still down, I just checked.
Dude’s a superhero, and needn’t be a ‘lone ranger’. Agreed. As the Fediverse expands, it will be the work of many; it just has to be that way.
MBIN FTW. KBIN has been “We are working on resolving the issues” for some days now. I hope Ernest is ok.
I have a login for lemmy.ml, as I have several from when I was switching over from Reddit. I’m thinking from what I’m reading here, that it’s not an instance I want to associate with.
Opting out is easy. Come to Pixelfed, they sure as hell aren’t IG.
Thank you, that’s most helpful. And no I won’t take your words blindly. Trust, and verify. :-) I’ll need to make sure my bank/ credit union is on with GNU Taler, tho’ it sounds unlikely, at this time.
FedNow looks very interesting.
Hellifiknow. I’m just some frog on the intarwebs who wants to learn. :-) Can someone elaborate on GNU Taler?
I’m annoyed by Paypal, Venmo (and other similar vehicles) because they use what should be a simple process (one person giving money to another person) to invade our privacy and to siphon value towards billionaires. I’d rather be able to transfer funds with the simplicity and precision of giving the person standing before me a ‘fiver’. And without someone else making bank off the transaction, for clarity’s sake.

I like GNU Taler because it’s privacy preserving for the customer, is Free, Open Source, and is self hosted. And also because it’s not a new/ different currency.
I’ve seen Zelle recommended. And as it turns out my bank uses it, as well. From Alternativeto:

I signed on to https://social.photo/. And I’m sure I had darned good reasons for doing so at the time. LoL With federation, I’m not really sure it matters which instance one signs onto, as long as it’s not some tankie/nazi crap, of course. And of course one could self host one’s own instance.
It appears to me that, because of the absence of advertising, it is incumbent upon individuals to ‘evangelize’ and spread the fedi-gospel. :-D
Thank You, BotM! I migrated here from the corporate social medias as soon as I was aware. I’m still transferring my OC over from IG (not an easy task) to Pixelfed. And I use similar talking points to inform people, often about the very existence of a non-comercial social media. Very few people, maybe 2, since July '23 have even heard of the Fediverse. We shall persist!

To some extent it depends on the species of bee. There are over 6000 species of bee in N. America. Planting for the benefit of bees is a thing, tho’. Honey bees are but one specie, and not native.

I’ve not vetted the above sites, but they should be sufficient to get your started on ‘planting for pollinators.’ It’s not just about bees, there are many species that have symbiotic relationships with flowering plants.
Your’s was a ‘small question’ about which which volumes been written. Generally it’s best to plant native species of plants to attract pollinators in your local area. If you talk to a local greenhouse/ garden center, and/or master gardener’s in your area that would also be helpful.
