I definitely don't want to see how many people like a song I'm listening to or what they have to say about it. I want my music experience to be more personal. I will just go to normal YouTube if I want to discuss something.
Ugh, I still miss GPM so much. YTM is worse to me in just about every way.
Hard no for me. People feel way too entitled to bring their dogs everywhere. Your being a pet owner doesn't mean everyone else also has to love and want to be around your dog. I'm afraid of most big dogs and if I had to routinely encounter them at work, I'd be looking for a different job. I'm also very allergic to them and despite taking allergy meds every day, I'd be miserable with dogs in a shared space I couldn't escape.

I swear by Dorset Cereals' muesli lmao. It is such a small thing but I absolutely love all the flavours and recommend them to everyone I know. If I were a different sort of person, I'd be approaching them for a brand deal, what with all the word-of-mouth advertising I do for them ๐
I also swear by my Blundstones. They're great for walking, they always keep my feet dry in my very moist city, and they have lasted me really well so far.
I think that the lack of further attempts backs up what lj shared a bit ago in the Discord. That's still a hell of a lot of tracking for folks who can't or don't want to pay, though.
We have similar views on most of the important things (as defined by us). Our interests are really different though, and that's fine with me.
Taken by boat. Slightly visible are some cranes at the shipyard. Usually you'd also see all the Downton skyline. Very cool to watch this roll in!
I didn't put on sunscreen when I was outdoors for an extended period because it was cloudy. I knew it was a dumb move. I did it anyway. And I definitely paid for it with the worst sunburn I've had in literal years. Will not be making that stupid move again for quite a while!
Unciv, available through the Play Store or F-Droid. It's a Civ 5 remake that is so good it's surprising it's free!
I much prefer using the Oxford comma because it does eliminate ambiguity in most cases. It also feels more natural to read a list that includes one. Without the final comma, I don't have the reminder to pause in my reading cadence, and I often find it a bit jarring. It doesn't impede understanding, for me, except where the phrasing is already ambiguous. It's just mildly uncomfortable.
This is a good reminder of just how much CBC puts out there. I am a little surprised not to see a mention of using alternative search engines like DDG or Bing, as to my knowledge those aren't blocking Canadian news corps. (Please correct me if you know differently!) I guess if the goal is to raise awareness of the content you can get without an intermediary, it makes sense.
I'm very interested to see which parties cave first in this standoff. If nothing else, I'm impressed the Canadian government had the balls to mandate this of American companies.
I really feel for the mods who've spent years building and curating communities, only to have them decimated by forces outside of their control. Reddit never listens to its userbase and I'd be surprised if they start now. I mean, they were regularly having calls with TPA developers only to blindside them with the API changes and treat them poorly for having questions. I don't see how it will be any different for moderators, unfortunately.
I'm not sure if this is a general Lemmy thing or specific to Connect somehow, but occasionally I come across comments that are shown as deleted. Does anyone know why this happens?
lol:
I'm genuinely excited though. I've been a long time sync user, and I'd love to see similar features available for Lemmy!
One I haven't seen mentioned here is familiarize yourself with tenancy laws in the place you want to move to. It is always good to know your rights, and with landlords these days, you have to be as savvy as you can. A lot will come from experience, but knowing what they're allowed to do or not do is priceless.
