Yes!

I agree. I'm inclined to switch once the domain transfer finishes.

Fixed now, hcaptcha was broken so I've turned it off for now!

Edit: I lie. I've disabled it temporarily in case we want to pivot domains quickly. See https://lemmy.ca/post/39411782/14663461

I've turned off registration temporarily while we resolve the below question, since people would have to re-register if we migrate domains.

Sooo uh. Right after we launched this, Dan (pixelfed dev) got back to us and said we could have pixelfed.ca if we want it.

How does everyone feel about pixelfed.ca vs pixeld.ca for our base domain? Now's the time to pivot!

Edit: We're up at https://pixelfed.ca/ now instead, come on over! You probably do not want to to try to migrate an existing account.

Yes the UX needs some work =(

Where are you getting stuck?

Edit: I think hcaptcha was breaking things. I've turned it off for now.

I think it's on by default, I'm not seeing any config options. If you have trouble let me know!

Stupid question - What happens to all the people he's firing? Isn't he just creating an unemployment crisis?

By contrast, the vast majority of light aircraft pilots I know are 60+, many 70+ with extensive health issues, heart problems and likely comparatively poor reflexes.

Totally. I have my student license and everyone at the field is much older than I am. There's a reason that some plane models are called things like "doctor killers".

Also there's a lot of random pilots up in places like Alaska or crop dusting in middle America that just don't give a fuck about anything. That tends to skew the stats a bit more I think.

Yeah you could totally make that argument. A cessna cruises at around 125 knots (143 mph) and google tells me the speed limit on a US highway is 85 mph.

It's still less safe than driving a car, and not as safe as people assume all flying is (thanks to commercial flying being amazingly safe).

I pasted the links elsewhere, but it's important to differentiate between general aviation (small planes, crop dusters, personal pilots, etc) and commercial flying.

Commercial flying is EXTREMELY safe, ridiculously so. The safety culture is amazing. General aviation does it's best, but at the end of the day people just aren't as responsible in small planes.
