Perfect at home in Arkansas or with my friends in Paris

Don't let your husband or state know that this thing is under $1,000 because it could go for $19,000-$20,000 EASILY! It's the perfect accessory for "governing", photoshopping, and fraud. Me and the gal pals really enjoyed this from afar while we were in Paris, France. 10/10

Interesting to hear your experience. It took me 3.5 months to fully remove myself from Reddit. (March to July):

• I started just poking around Lemmy while using Reddit
• to occasional commenting and posting on Lemmy
• to using them about equal time
• then making a final few posts and comments in the protest weeks and helping people migrate
• then I was only upvoting
• then I made a final goodbye post on my Reddit page
• then I stopped voting but still looking around Reddit and the playplace.
• then when that was over, I uninstalled my favourite RedReader app and stopped using it altogether

I'm not one who likes to go cold turkey, but when once I commit to boycotting something I stick to it until my condition is met. In those final days I came across many Reddit users who were like "if you hate Reddit that much why are you still using iiiiiit?", that was annoying but that's behind me now and there is no condition for me to go back to it.

Steam is a legitimate value add for sellers and buyers/users, that justifies its 30% cut. Other than free games, Epic has a seemingly easy-to-integrate online networking system, that's about it. Steam has a modding platform, broadcasting, remote "parsec"-like controller emulator, Linux support, content sharing, forums and a developer news feed. That's quite a lot.

What makes me stick with them is that they don't preclude Steam and other gaming users from using alternatives but simply compete with their own well-made system... plenty of games have their own cross-platform mod-launchers that aren't workshop for example. Steamworks DRM isn't required and Steam networking services for multiplayer aren't mandatory either.

That said, itch and GoG are great alternatives where they have games available. I'd just like GoG to provide better Linux support.

I agree. If Reddit won, the victory was pyrrhic if anything. Their whole plan to end 3rd party app support could have been just a small road bump if they had just done it transparently and planned it with reasonably thought out timelines. They instead chose to do a whole front flip over it and get everyone mad, tanking their brand while trying to make it look like nothing happened.

Anyways, congratulations on your victory. Here's your prize: ❤

I don't vape, but when I received a depleted disposable vape from a roommate, I opened it up to find the battery was perfectly rechargeable. Such a waste and it is quite hazardous too to dispose in regular trash.

If your submission does not meet any of the criteria above, you will be BANNED!1!

“They told me they would not leave. I told them that they need to leave the theater and if they do not, they will be trespassing. The patrons said they would not leave. I told them I would [be] going to get Denver Police. They said go get them,” an usher said in the incident report.

Sounds about right. The circus tent for your clown show is that way, Boebert.

I think I figured it out... only rarely you'd get immediate interviews, but the idea is you get LinkedIn contacts to chat with later and industry insight, and something to tell recruiters/hiring managers that you did, but you dress it up in a way that shows you look for opportunity like "I met members of [industry/company] at a recruiting conference in [town]". I found industry conferences to be more useful than jobfairs in this respect, but those can be a little to a lot expensive.

Otherwise it's pretty much just being told to scan QR codes, business cards and maybe getting a couple plastic cups and pens.

All in all I say job hunting is such an awful game.

If we had proper public supports for people between jobs, students and immigrants looking to find a way to live and/or not get kicked out of the country, this wouldn't be a problem.

The whole job hunt feels like a rat race, it's practically common recruiter advice to apply for stuff that you don't qualify for on paper, send out as many applications as possible and take every chance you can get. So I can see how people can apply these ideas to participate in spaces where they aren't encouraged to apply.

This is compounded by the pressure put on people to even live without income for short periods of time.

I'd say I'm privileged, yet it took me a year of looking to land something in my field. I had money saved up and enough supports to keep costs at a minimum, I'm aware I'm lucky I was even able to be in this circumstance.

We need smart and capable women, trans and nb people in the workforce, and we need resources to overcome the barriers they face. I'm just saying that it's not easy, even without such barriers and also with comforts that are not afforded to many.

Is an internet pirate community an internet pirate community without the odd patch of rough seas?

My boy Lemmy is growing up!

Israel is sure showing how they aren't killing civilians indiscriminately.

Is Nintendo really going to stop first party Switch releases the moment they announce/release Switch 2? I can see they wanted to drop the Wii U fairly quickly, but for the 3DS stuff like new Mario Party games came out after the Switch release. Metroid 4 is still in development, presumably targeting the Switch.

Part of it has actual useful industry information, another has job openings and recruiter outreach, the rest is corporate circlejerk.

...and use that as a strategy guide to oppress others?

Reddit can take all their fake and inflated as fuck engagement numbers and shove it up their arse, for all I care.

Play on r/place, don't play on r/place, doesn't matter. Lemmy is big enough that it is its own thing now. People that want something different will come. As much as it would be nice to have essentially a crowd-run ad campaign for Lemmy, I respect anyone committing to not visiting Reddit again for any reason.

Layoffs are what caused the long queues to begin with. Event organization and operation makes it seem closer to an average American Black Friday event than a job conference.

It is surprising. A month ago they were Canadian servers, @smorks@lemmy.ca moved it to lunanode (Canadian). Perhaps CDN was moved or the whole machine was moved to a cheaper hosting platform since it got very big from then and is under new admin management as of a week ago-ish.

Edit: found the answer from @Shadow@lemmy.ca, TL:DR is CloudFlare

Correct! The server running this and all data is stored in Canada.

Here's a blurb from a doc I'm working on:

Lemmy.ca is hosted in Canada at OVH in Beauharnois, QC with all data on a dedicated server. Backups are PGP encrypted and pushed to the OVH backup service, however these will be moved off-site in the near future.

We use Cloudflare as a security and performance layer in front of the server. They accept the traffic for Lemmy.ca through a worldwide network of ingestion points, scrub it of abusive traffic, cache the images, and pass it through an encrypted tunnel to our server. This means they can see in plain text the data sent between us including your credentials, posts, comments and images. You can read more about their policies at https://www.cloudflare.com/trust-hub/.

Awww, Donnie just learned how to spell a two letter word! What a smart boy he is!

Ah, if that was what you're after, it's too bad you missed the wave of old memes that happened on !memes@lemmy.ml.

Your comment was on the top for me, Lemmy's default "hot" sorting brings fresh takes to the front, so don't worry too much about your answers always getting buried.

How come we find out this about Mike Johnson before his finances/bank account?

If I were on a court or jury, I would rule that repeatedly showing an annoying pop up until you press Agree, doesn't count as actual acceptance of the terms, I don't care what the rules are but fuck that practice.

Blender 2.79 and earlier was super-unintuitive. 2.8 gave it a fresh coat of paint it's easier and more featureful with each version (Now 3.6, 2.8 was years ago!)

Note to app users and alternative frontend users (such as mlmym), there are some breaking changes so you will need to update the app or wait.

I dunno what kind of channels you wanted.

Just wanted to say that steve1989mreinfo is posting again!

You'd be surprised what a squad of cops can do on break.

Still better than how that alien logo'd Lemmy clone handled third-party clients.

The person you replied to is giving the classic "they must have been acting suggestively" excuse.

Now it's called Bill.

Communities is the official term which I use. I'm not a stickler so you can call them sublemmies, sublems, subworlds, subhaws, subs, whatever. I know people here would rather disassociate from that site that many migrated away from.

I liked the idea of burrows, so if you have creative terms for it people tend to appreciate it. Yeehive was another cute idea over on Beehaw.

On your server, you can use server/c/community_name (e.g. lemmy.world/c/asklemmy ). A more commonly accepted approach now is to use !community_name@server (e.g. !asklemmy@lemmy.world).

This video illustrates it well

(loud barking warning)

A tick can install an allergy to red meat for you.

Welcome. Glad to have you here!

Yeah I feel the same as a big preservationist. I feel that I got value from Reddit before, now I don't anymore but that doesn't take away what I benefitted from previously.

So instead I edited my top 30 comments and added something to the effect of "As of Jul 2023 I'm on lemmy kthxbye".

Jerboa is working waaaaaay better than the previous versions. It is at last quite stable as of v39.

"A more affordable way to use Plex [or another subscription service]" is how it always starts...

It's subliminal marketing for a yet to be filmed Space Jam 3.
