After the self induced constipation, they'll need the poop knife for sure.

Idk non English speaker misunderstood "giving the finger"?

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
But also sell your data.

BRB, Resurrecting the aftermarket radio.
Between this bullshit and touchscreen-only controls, I've ruled out quite a few models.

You're saying I'm she 30 and olup?

I do client ssl verification.
Nobody but me or my household is supposed to access those anyway.
Any failure is a ban (I don't remember how long for).
I also ban every IP not from my country, adjusting that sometimes if I travel internationally.
It's much easier when you host stuff only for your devices (my case) and not for the larger public (like this lemmy instance).

NFTs: Block chain based money laundering.
But I guess BCBML didn't sound as good.

PCI/GPU Passthrough is amazing.

Having grown my hair down to my belly button over the last years...
The "hair dips into your toast" phase is annoying af.

Hair ties, hair clips, bobby pins, hats, etc.
A nice hat when you're going outside on a windy day helps a lot imho.
Honestly, there's a period when your hair is long enough to be annoying but not long enough to tie back and it's, well, annoying.
Good news is when it reaches just about your chin, you'll be able to tie it back when it annoys you and it's much less fuss from that point on.
Once it's even longer than that it will end on your chest and it's not in the way as much.

Pre-emptively cut the forked ends now and then.
It seems counter productive to progress, but that's still faster than breaking knots of tangled hair.

Patience.

A random dude with long hair.
Edit: Oh and if you get yourself some hair ties, get those without the metal bit otherwise they break so much hair.

7 days is a lot.
Try and stay hydrated, don't pass out, get well.

Nice analogy thanks. Sure, everyone has email, but most don't engage with it much and it doesn't really have communities.
Well, to think of it, mailing lists of old would be similar to communities.

Second of all, the whole “build my personality to fit in” is exactly backwards.

Yea, I feel like the fediverse is what we make of it. Trying to fake it for a social net sounds sad.
If OP likes emoji, emoji away 🚀🌕
I think your take is a good one even outside of social media.
Be yourself! (Assuming you're not a serial killer I guess)

Unrelated noob question, on my end I see your full user: @Barbarian@sh.itjust.works We're on different instances, fine.
But there's other people from sh.itjust.works in this thread and it only shows the first half of their handle, like Jakylla and Bernie Ecclestoned.

My guess is they have a display name setup and you don't?

I've been using embiggen on android for years but a foss alternative would be nice.

Hiking, painting, 3d printing, board games, gardening.
Collecting and restoring knives.

Whatever you feel like doing...
But find something that's different enough than your future job.
I mean... I troubleshoot network stuff for a living and coming home and doing puzzles would absolutely suck, as it's the same kind of stimuli (finding patterns).
Every job is different, and I burn out of different hobbies depending on what job I'm doing.

Yes it's running in my reverse proxy.
Nginx is doing my "client ssl verify" in front of my web services.
You can even do this on a per uri/location.
For example, my nextcloud is open without client certs so I can share files with people, but the admin settings path is protected by client ssl.

Yea, couch co-op is unfortunately often an afterthought even though it's a great way to introduce people to the hobby.

Yea my server is running 128GB of RAM, no way I'm making 256GB of swap.

Didn't they buy alien blue before that?
It was the most popular, before Apollo even existed I think.
They bought that, turned it to shit despite it starting from a beloved, yet now unrecognizable mess. Even if they bought Apollo, RIF, Relay, Sync and Baconreader tomorrow, their goal with the site conflicts with what people enjoy about using it and anything they do will be shittier and shittier.
People would always flock to another community focused app as long as that's a possibility, so they decided to nuke the whole concept.

I've been here for maybe a day now, so salt accordingly.
As far as I can tell, even though beehaw has downvotes disabled, since the instance I use has them enabled, I could still technically downvote you, at least in the UI.
You'd just never know and it would not show on your end or for anyone viewing from beehaw.org.
The part I'm not so sure about is if they would show for others on the same instance as me.
I think depending on where a third person would be viewing this thread from they would see different numbers of upvotes.
I certainly notice a few differences while reading from a different instance vs browsing the original instance directly.
Learning lemmy has been pretty interesting.

That kinda comes with smaller communities, I think.
I'm sure toxic people will figure out lemmy eventually too, but for now it's been nice.

The only subreddit I still care about has been private from the start and has between 300-400 people in it who have been randomly invited over time.
Post or comment every week and get kicked. On the whole, lemmy reminds me of that place a bit since the communities are smaller and idk how to put this but that feels. .. more human?

The way I see it is since I'm not a reddit customer, then I'm the product.
Except, if I'm the product, you're probably not supposed to nickle and dime me.
It's kinda like if McDonald's was trying to charge cows for the privilege of being ground into patties, but relied on them to go through the process of their own free will.
Without user content, reddit is just an empty husk, a waste of data center resources, yet they behave like they're somehow entitled to my engagement on the platform.

As for how they've handled things, it's been a train wreck.
Just requiring reddit premium to have access to the API/3rd party apps would have made a few waves, but nothing like this. Keeping their mouth shut would have been more useful than almost everything they've done... whatever their strategy was...

Even without any of that though, they've been working hard at making the experience worse for a while. The redesign focuses on the user consuming ads instead of content, dooms scrolling instead of reading or commenting.

TL;DR: They were going to shit regardless, they just decided to use more fans.

Some apps now have support for client certs (home-assistant ❤).
Nextcloud is one of the only apps that's open without client ssl because it'd be highly inconvenient to share a file link with someone if I had to install a cert on their devices. Plex app never works right for me so I just use the browser. My TV is too old to have old built-in so I have a VM in which I use a browser to watch plex.
