Get his head kicked.

Fuck me I only just got here and it’s already cracking off.

Here’s some more info:

It was captured by a special camera called a Rapatronic, a camera system able to take photographs at a frame rate of 10 million frames per second.

I think it impossible to say if something like Lemmy and federated social media is going to replace Reddit, but it’s interesting participating in a potential shift and watching the evolution of how the internet organises itself.

I’m also quite shitfaced.

I don’t get it.

Someone needs to start a male fashion advice community and get them all over here then.

The effort of achieving this in the average UK house is so much more than what I am guessing is OPs American house.

Crawlspaces don’t exist and we replaced sheetrock for double skinned solid brick walls.

Not going to lie, Gene Wilder was fucking fantastic as Willy Wonker.

Not a HR professional or recruiter (I work in IT), but I know my company uses a third party background checking service for this kind of thing.

Vodka brings nothing to a martini, fight me.

I also like to stir for 25 seconds, leave for a minute or two, and then strain into a chilled glass. No ice in the actual drink.

2 olives and lemon peel garnish.

a classic Martini

My choice of app is entirely based on what the contact uses.

Most of my family are on iOS so we use native iMessage and FaceTime.

I have a small group of friends that almost exclusively use discord.

Older non-iOS friends tend to use WhatsApp, younger ones Telegram.

No.

My very limited understanding is that you can have different accounts on different instances, with the same name.

E.g. sicjoke@lemmy.world and sicjoke@lemmy.social

Much like you can have different email accounts on different email platforms, with the same name.

E.g sicjoke@gmail.com and sicjoke@hotmail.com

Anyone feel free to tell me I am talking bollocks.

I tried for several minutes to send you one (using wefwef) but gave up when I could work out how.

Sorry.

19.7 million UK iPhone users will care about this.

I wasn’t necessarily looking for a Reddit clone. I am being spoiled by Memmy and want the same kind of customisable control on my PC.

With SpaceX being a proven and reliable US based crewed launch provider, why do they use Soyuz at all?

I fucking hate living in the UK sometimes.

Because we will never have decriminalised/ legalised recreational weed! lol

I know man.

Unfortunately I fear us brits can only ever experience the joy of unfettered recreational use vicariously via posts such as yours. My government is a bunch of cunts.

Enjoy though, looks fantastic x

considering hopping onto a different instance because of this. Lemmy.world in particular always seems to be experiencing issues.

If you are on iOS try Mlem (if you can get on the TestFligh). It’s a much better, native experience.

The new Outlook (essentially Outlook on the web wrapped in an app framework) is very good indeed. I use it to aggregate my works 365 calendar with my multiple Google and Apple accounts.

If your instance allows it, why not start one of the communities you think is missing?

Trying Memmy now and it feels great! +1 for Ice Cubes.

The current preview is massively lacking in functionality. They have a lot to sort prior to pushing this.

Did the same. Three story townhouse. To run Cat6 from top to bottom I went out, round the side of the house, up the wall, and back in.

I saw this, and it’s a decent paint job on the existing UI but I can help thinking how much I would like a dedicated client on windows.

Scrolled way to far to find my absolute favourite drink. +1

Can’t advocate using a water pick enough, especially if you suffer from trapped food / large gaps in your teeth.

I bought a Panasonic from Amazon for under £50.

How much ballache was it to set up? Docker compose up or much fucking about?

So you're saying WhatsApp isn’t fucking horrible to use on Android?

I’m not trying to replicate the look of Reddit. In fact I think that was shittier on desktop and used it exclusively on my phone.

Alexandrite.app looks interesting though. Thanks.

I genuinely couldn’t get on with it for some reason.

On mobile I think it’s hard to beat Memmy.

It’s the desktop experience that I think is lacking.

Feel free to insert the equally stupidly large number of iPhone users for your particular geographic location.

Jesus. Never mind.

DayZ has entered the chat.

Also top. Started with MacOS but have carried this through to Windows much to the annoyance of my fellow Windows using coworkers.

TestFlighting Mlem on iOS will give you a much better, native experience for using Lemmy on mobile.

I have never experienced any of this. Sounds like a skill issue.

Until cross platform messaging is a good as iMessage and FaceTime from an iPhones user’s perspective it’s going to be bad.

I have only ever used an iPhone (ignore non-smart phones) and have been weaned entirely on Apples stock apps. Conversely almost everyone I communicate regularly with is also an iPhone users. I do use other platform for communicating with non-apple friends but the experience is significantly poorer.

I couldn’t say how many people existed within this almost exclusively Apple ecosystem but I would hazard a guess that there are a few.
