It's very confusing right now because the check is to show posts that you have already read. Posts that you have already read are hidden by default.

Hobonichi Techo is always good, but more oriented towards keeping a diary and a little expensive (though you get what you pay for).

I ordered one since I was curious about the Sailor Pro Gear Slim when it was a lot cheaper. I'll see how it feels in the hand since so many pens are uncomfortably heavy (Pilot Metropolitan) or wide (TWSBI Eco).

Bitcoin was designed to gain value over time by making minting more bitcoins increasingly expensive. I don't think speculation was the intended use, but widespread adoption would be strangled anyway by making holding onto the bitcoin more profitable than most things you could buy with it.

What pens are these?

Kbin federation appears to be working indeed if someone had subscribed to a community before the 0.18.0 update. Waiting to see if a community that no one had subscribed to on this instance syncs in.

Edit: it hasn't been pulled in overnight. Maybe it'll only pull their content in after a new post is made?

Edit 2: It pulled in, but I didn't see that it had because the current default is to hide all posts that you have already read. So confusing!

Some disappointment that microtransactions have pushed out unlockables, and annoyance at using DLC to push up game prices. It makes me less inclined to buy a game any time near release and I'm already disinclined.

But mostly not noticing cosmetic microtransactions, unless I really like what it's selling.

My parents had copies and somehow Fellowship of the Ring was recommended for a book report. I loved it and went on to read the others over the next two years.

Sailor Yama-dori is pretty, but very expensive.

A rate limit per day might knock down the spam without needing pre-approval.

It's a self-reinforcing cycle. If you write directions at too high a level, people don't read them and call support instead so someone can explain the directions with more and smaller words. So if you're writing the directions and taking support calls, you have an incentive to try to write your directions at a low reading level to reduce your future support burden. (That doesn't make you any good at it.) Which, if your hypothesis is correct, hurts the readers' ability to read complex sentences a little bit in exchange for reducing your support burden by a lot.

Instances running 0.18.0 can't communicate with any Kbin instance right now. Anything already synced is readable, but new subscriptions, posts, and comments fail. See https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3354 .

Edit: This has been partially resolved by the upgrade to 0.18.1-rc. If someone on this instance had joined the community on Kbin before the upgrade it works. If not, it's hit and miss.
