NotTheOnion. Lol

I remember watching a video not long ago about this girl in South Korea who went to uni, couldn’t find a job in her area. Then started doing web development and also had to work in a convenience store and could barely survive.

I know there’s a lot of people who never wanted to have kids to begin with and that pop decline is a worldwide phenomenon right now. However, even if someone wanted to have kids, how the heck can you do it if you can barely survive even with 2 jobs?

I'm using Memmy (https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy) and even though it's still in testflight I'm socked with the vast amount of updates, you get pretty much one a day and features are building up very quickly. It gives me a similar experience as Apollo used to. RIP Apollo

I’m very impressed to learn that dogs can be trained even to smell bed bugs.

Link for people who don’t have a reddit account anymore. As now everything is unreviewed content and you need the app

Same for me. Lemmy still has some rough edges but even the apps that are available now are really good as they are. Improvements are happening at amazing speed. What we currently have is quite good in my opinion and this is the worst it will ever be, as we’ll have improvements on top of improvements, most apps and lemmy itself are open source, I believe that soon, instead of us feature pairing with reddit, it will be them trying to chase us up.

I usually don’t pay attention to mod names, however, this name wasn’t an odd one to me somehow.

Then I tried to search for the name as I remember seeing in the past that a handful of mods owned 90% of the subreddits.

Bumped into this and now I know this mod was one of them.

The fact that I found this funny indicates I may have a mental eelness

Imagine if the same happened in USA every time an innocent is killed by a police officer.

My suggestion is to put the Lemmy app in the exact location the other app was. So when the muscle memory kicks in you open the right app. I am impressed myself about how many times a day I used to open the other one. Now I’m here instead :)

I wonder how bad this is going to be. I hope my country starts checking for radioactivity in fish imported. Considering that some fish can travel quite far I wouldn’t be surprised if the ones from anywhere near Japan and close countries could have unsafe levels of radiation.

I read some article last week mentioning that the advanced filtering system for water was practically useless. Hopefully I just understood it wrong.

Why other modelling company? The customer of the modelling company can just do it themselves and completely make modelling companies irrelevant.

I’m still getting used to it. Not that bad, a bit slower and I believe we still have no video support. Still, I don’t intend to go back to reddit. I’m trying Memmy and Mlem apps interchangeably and I’m pretty happy with it. I need to participate more though, not just being s lurker. Hopefully saving stuff, checking what you liked, etc will be available soon. For the time the app devs had on this, what we’re getting is amazing. This will be in much better shape than reddit very soon.

Gives off a vibe of the white/silver version of monsters in breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom

Do we have an out of the loop in Lemmy? I was there for the 3 days no poop super marathon, but I seem to have missed the bean train

Oh. That’s great to know. I thought it was more serious considering other countries were banning imports from those regions.

Can you point the everyone else? Just out of curiosity. I know there’s digital ocean but I’m not quite sure they’re cheaper than azure/aws

So. I’m a happy Manjaro user. I don’t install a lot of things and have had AUR updates break stuff likely due to the 2 weeks delay Manjaro adds to their packages.

I’m still using it on multiple devices and I’m really happy. I considered moving to endeavour but I wasn’t sure how it would handle hardware updates. I mean, my understanding is that Manjaro is more “noob” friendly and I don’t consider myself an expert. I used the Manjaro hardware helper to fix my video drive several times and I like the simplicity of the command. Does endeavour require a more advanced user? Does it have the “easy to use” troubleshooting things that Manjaro has?

Ah. What about the Kernel uploader? I think the Manjaro one is unique to Manjaro right? Is there another one for regular arch/endeavour?

Thanks for this :)

I’m am a big fan of rust and tauri. Nice to see it being used here. I’ll definitely give this a try :)

Don’t think Apple security is much better. I’ve read news before about insiders that will unlock stolen phones. They work closely with the criminals and it’s a more “professional” operation. Probably it’s not as easy as doing it for an android but having an iPhone and thinking that if someone steals yours it will just become a paperweight is wrong. Sadly
