I thought I lost my phone before moving states and nearly burst into tears. It has my insurance, the map, what if something happened to me on the road, etc. It was an awful spiraling feeling. Thankfully I found it, but it was a hard reality check of how much I have tied to this little device.

Reminds me of:

The one the restaurants use and the copyrighted one that families use.

Restaurant: “happy happy birthday from all of us to you. We wish it was our birthday so we could party too! Hey!”

Family/copyright: “happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, -name-. Happy birthday to you.”

An art project called r/place is active again. Basically, it’s a giant white canvas and users can change the color of one pixel every X amount of minutes.

Since we left Reddit, the community is torn between returning to post something in protest or staying away and refusing them traffic to protest. A suggestion there is to simply watch the twitch/YouTube streams of people who are there.

Some suggestions: “join-lemmy.org”, “API”, “Fuck u/spez”. There’s currently a French flag with a guillotine about to chop the head off a Snoo with u/spez as it’s blindfold. There is also clap back. Bots or the moderators are actively blocking pieces of protest with checkerboard patterns.

I hope this answers your question.

My account was randomly locked because of “unusual usage”. I haven’t touched Reddit since the death of Apollo. So I guess going from a 100 to 0 was unusual. 🤷‍♀️

I’m doing my part!

Dude, I’m lucky if I remember what “today year” even is, much less the math! Time got weird after 2020…

Washing dishes

I switched before this because I wanted to keep an eye on my credit score. Credit Karma gives me both scores and with more detail than I was getting from Mint.

I was very worried about it being injured since it hadn’t moved. This is no longer a concern. It hated the box and ran away really well! So I put the box where it could reach it and fled the scene.

Lol there’s nowhere else to go.

The official app is garbage and unusable. The website is clunky on my phone.

Lemmy is the place to be now. I admit that I miss my drama subs though.

Thank you for the identifying info! Now I can google for what the parents look like. I’ll keep a look out.

I’m using Memmy and there’s an option in the settings to block a specific instance or an instance with key words.

Thank you for this!

This is completely speculative and likely very wrong, but:

Computer order for school districts were backed up because no one anticipated the loss due to COVID and the budget is only so big to order so many. This means we didn’t get all the replacements we needed and then suffered more losses during the school year, plus with the implementation of online school as an option. As we can’t afford name brand, like Windows (my school bought chromebooks), I assume that April and May is when the school districts put in orders for next year’s laptops.

I know Apple is restrictive, like that other guy who commented who likes to apply customizations, but I love that apple products talk to each other seamlessly. I could have gone on through my tablet, except that I don’t pay for it to have its own wireless signal.

That’s actually how I found my phone. My neighbor let me tag on to her WiFi and I used the Find My Phone feature with my iPad. Saved me from a meltdown lol

The nest is too high up for me, but I did call a wildlife rescue through google. The lady called me back and suggested building a small nest for it out of a box to get it off the ground. I’m going to put it on a cinderblock. I hear other birds, but it seems like the closest rescue is a two hour drive away. So if it makes it through the night, I’ll give them a call during business hours.

Adding paper towel to the “nest”

I was at the giant copper mine outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. In the tour, they said, to appease conservationists, they basically relocate the mountain as they dig and add vegetation. So, the mountainous area that surrounds the mine is all man-made. Nature didn’t erode the rocks or push them up even though mountains are considered purely natural. It doesn’t really follow a beaver creating a new river because it built a dam either because it didn’t divert anything; it simply pushed it out of the way.

Man made = interfering with nature for profit. Natural = interference in nature for comfort.

Side note: I can’t help but picture a cartoon style in my head of a fat business tycoon with a shovel, yelling at the Lorax, “We’re putting it back!”

Nice! Thanks!

Thanks!

Most houses that you build yourself usually flow with the land.

Houses corporations build are for profit and usually come with more destruction for the environment.

No. I can’t see how I spend my money on there unfortunately. It’s also big on advertising like “you should get another credit card. Here’s some preapproved offers!”

But Tbf, I barely notice the lack because Mint could never get my transactions right anyway and was constantly disconnecting accounts.
