Microsplastics have already trickled down to balls. This is what winning feels like, folks.

It's really cool, but also kind of depressing, to see what we're capable of when we're also speed running to extinction while not even implementing well-known and obvious mitigation steategies.

The way inflation is going, you might literally save millions by skipping an avocado toast.

Sorry for going off-topic, but how do you best go about maintaining your blocklist from a UX standpoint? What interface works well for you? It tends to take me more clicks than I'd like to block coms at the moment.

Also, this place feels like exactly like early Reddit, tech savvy, close-nit, united but also divided.

That's very true – and a cool thing about Lemmy. I both hope that you're right that people will catch on and that it will retain a bit of that magic.

If there ever where a time for federated social media to catch on, I reckon it is now. Billionaire owned surveillance capitalism ought to be due for a backlash about now. And if not now, then I wonder if it ever will be.

Honestly, I almost thought it was a little daunting to set up this account – and I had already used Lemmy with another account on the same instance previously. I'm still not fully content with the mix of content I'm getting here (where are the text active only coms?)

Some hand holding is needed for non tech savvy people. And sometimes the similarities to reddit is kind of like faux meat substitutes – inviting unfavorable comparisons.

If that were true, it's a dumb election strategy to sit back and wait while your opponent puts an end to free and fair elections.

I'm not sure what stage of rewilding his garden had reached at that time, don't think there was a lot of moss, mainly flowers and whatnot.

I dunno man, I've made it a point of pride to be rough with my Macbook over the years. They hold up well to repeated beatings and last a long time. I'd rate my 2017 Macbook Pro as hardier than the Thinkpad X1 Carbon I had as a company computer for my last job. And the MacBook might have been cheaper new too.

That place is just flabbergasting nowadays. Click almost anywhere and you're greeted with colorful descriptions of jews and any other kind of bat shit overt comicbook bad guy levelf of absurd racism. Anywhere. What is Twitter's utillity even?

My dad did the same with his, only to find his neighbour had tried (sincerely) to be helpful and mowed it while dad was out of town. My dad does not speak highly of his neighbor's intelligence.
