Wow. TIL.

It works alright but there are still issues. My biggest gripe with it is that sleeping doesn't really work. I will often close my laptop and then come back to a dead laptop the next day because the battery drained all night.

Bees couldn’t care less about you unless you’re threatening them. I constantly have bees in my garden and we can peacefully coexist. Fuck wasps though.

If you really want to build an awesome Plex/Jellyfin library, start using Usenet instead of torrents.

Well, no. Unlike the blockchain, decentralized platforms aren't snake oil.

The microchips aren’t edible because they want you to eat them. They’re edible because they know some idiot eventually will eat one.

When I was in high school, I reset the admin password on one of the macs in the computer lab in single user mode and used it to find the school’s Wi-Fi password in the keychain. Shared it with a few friends and it eventually made its way to most of the student body. It was a total game changer for all of us because we all had smartphones (this was in 2014ish) but the building had virtually no cell service indoors whatsoever.

Definitely the Kobo Libra 2 or the Kobo Nia. I bought both a Kindle and a Kobo Libra 2 and ended up returning the Kindle because book piracy was a pain. The overall Kobo user experience is just a whole lot more pleasant.

It be like that sometimes

and not even a good one!

Oh wow. The person who dropped that is having a terrible day.

It lost its identity a long time ago.

For what it’s worth, I think Elon is both evil and an idiot.

I specifically joined Lemmy to get away from Reddit. Why does everyone constantly want to talk about Reddit? There are much more interesting topics out there, folks

Don’t tell me what to do

I just don't subscribe to those communities and that seems to work well enough. When I don't want to see it, I sort by subscribed. If I'm in the mood for memes or shitposts, I sort by all.

Yeah- this is my big gripe with all of the alternative video sharing platforms. All of them have a significantly right-wing conspiracy theorist bias. Not really a place I see myself spending a lot of time, personally.

Lemmy has been around for quite a while, well before any of the recent issues. The userbase will probably die back once people get bored and go back to Reddit but some of us will still be here

Hello! Been producing music in FL Studio for nearly 15 years. I make electronic and hip hop, coincidentally

You don’t defederate your whole instance. You defederate from specific instances.

Bitwarden gets my vote.

Wow, are you me? I just posted a super similar story, but it was 9 years ago using an iMac.

myanonamouse is by far the best private tracker for books, and getting an invite was super easy.

Zombeavers was pretty entertaining

According to Meta, they have plans to integrate ActivityPub into Threads some time soon, meaning they would be able to federate with Mastodon, Calckey, Misskey, Pleroma, Lemmy, Friendica, etc.

I feel more obligated to contribute here because I want Lemmy as a whole to be more active. More content = more users.

I have really long, thick, curly hair. My showers can easily take 45 minutes to an hour because of everything I need to do to wash, detangle, and finish my hair routine.

I was in preschool, probably eating glue or something

Yes- but it’s up to your instance admin to do that

Or LunaSea on iOS

No, not so far

Frankly, if they aren’t tech savvy, you should just have them use Authy. No, it’s not open source, but it’s just fine for the average user.

Arc is incredible. I can’t wait for it to come to Windows

I deleted my Reddit account on June 11th, so just over 3 weeks ago, and I don't miss it. Lemmy is doing a perfectly fine job filling that void. I'm quite happy here.

Yeah, Memmy is far and away my favorite way to browse Lemmy so far.

It’s a small dose but definitely enough to get the job done. When I tripsit any of my friends for the first time I always have them start with 1 gram. 1 to 1.5 is manageable for most beginners.

If you have no IT background at all, I wouldn’t recommend it. You should understand the basics first.

you're basically just dry aging it at that point, no?

for sure! you can find my music here: https://soundcloud.com/ellesper

and yes I technically have a matrix account but I don’t really use it
