This is the first I’ve heard this perspective. It’s worth keeping in mind the remainder of the year. Thanks for that

It’s baffling to me why this blood ratio is circulating so much in the news. Did the Las Vegas shooter kill the American equivalent of 1.8 Israelis?

Wait a minute, is FLOSS home automation really this robust? Having avoided most wifi enabled gadgets, I’m pretty out of the loop here

literally just taco meat and peppers ig

It’s a good idea. You get to rehearse your response to something touchy that somebody might mention IRL at a dinner or campfire or whatever. It helps you evaluate your own understanding before saying something ignorant or too extreme that winds up negatively affecting a good friendship.

When I first started participating online I made the mistake of regurgitating IRL a lot of opinions and garbage I read in spaces I thought I agreed with, at least adjacently. When I noticed other people doing this in my cohort I got a serious case of the cringe and made an effort to be a little more real to myself.

The map, too, is now swarmed in Wall-E levels of marketing trash: bubbles, home businesses, auto play review videos, promoted fast food and coffee 8 miles away when I’m in a dense walkable area. The user reviews and navigation are still valuable, but literally every other aspect has went to shit.

Wow, this is pretty aligned with myself. I also rabbit hole Tips from a Shipwright and Mattias Wandel from time to time

I rocked tt-rss for 8+ years, self hosting. Very configurable for me and it was basically my youtube homepage. However I’ll say that on more than one occasion the update was not trivial.

Is this a military thing? One of the characters in Generation Kill says this in the first episode.

I am too, and new to Infinity overall. I was patiently awaiting Sync but became sadly disappointed with how aggressive it was monetized. Infinity does what I need:

1. searching for posts over all communities (*and instances!)

2. inline find function for the comments

3. preview before commenting

I am simple. Infinity is fast. Go. Lemmy. Go.
