What was the scariest nightmare you remember having? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] yool_ooloo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Do you have dream paralysis? That's what I think I have.

Whatever the dream is, and there are a variety of situations, but I'm 'stuck'. I'm dreaming but I can't move.

I strain to get free and move but can't break free.

At the end of the dream I wake up, usually wrapped up in bedsheets and physically aching from trying to unbind myself.

As an example, I had a dream where I was on a reality TV show. The point was to get from point A to point B. I was really struggling to crawl to point B. Then I saw my body on the floor being attended to by an EMT. Seeing my body with the EMT triggered something and I woke up as I was physically stepping out of the bed in real life.

What's the worst "corporate speak/buzzwords" that you absolutely hate? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

'contextual knowledge'

this gem was put forward in all seriousness when the data didn't support the claims in the report: "it's not in the numbers, but we have a pretty good sense that this is true"

AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking in c/technology@lemmy.world

Why can't uBlock Origin and this thing work at the same time?

YSK about SomaFM, an independant non-commercial internet radio with really nice and diverse curated channels in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world
[–] yool_ooloo@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Love SomaFM and have the t-shirts, magnets, stickers, etc. to prove it!

Mostly into the DroneZone as ambient while at home or at work. Listening with noise-reducing headphones makes it even better.

Shared from MeFi: "What the size of your book collection says about you" (lemmy.world)
 

Get out those measuring tapes...how big is it?

Your book collection.

I thought this was a fun/silly thing to chat about and wanted to share it here.

I use the My Library app on Android to catalog my personal collection (less than 800 books but growing)

Do you ever 'weed' your collection? What's your ratio of print to ebooks? Do you collect in certain subject area(s)? From where do you acquire? (used bookstores, online, new bookstores, etc.)

Thanks for sharing!

What, if any, cybernetic augmentation would you want for regular life? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] yool_ooloo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Some kind of general pain suppression.

You could turn it off, if you're into that and sometimes pain let's you know there might be a problem, but the endless agony people go through would end.

Q re: New Yorker. Article online vs print? (lemmy.world)
 

How can I tell which print edition of the New Yorker has the online article? Do all online articles appear in the print edition?

I read the online Interview with Justin Torres, loved it, I want the print edition to frame. The online edition says it was published 12/31/2023, I just can't find it in print.

literature - what does this quote mean? (lemmy.world)

What's the significance of calling it "Israel-Hamas War" vs "Israel-Gaza War"? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm in the US.

I haven't discerned a pattern, by the media, in the titling of the horror currently underway.

I've seen Al Jazeera use both phrasings. I haven't determined that other media sites are hardlining their terminology either, but I notice the difference as I browse.

Maybe it doesn't mean anything, but these days people seem extra sensitive about names.

Born this day: David Wojnarowicz (1954-1992) (lemmy.world)
 

David Wojnarowicz was born this day (9/14/1954). Artist in a variety of media, and hero to at least one freaked-out fa%%ot in the closet back in the late 80s/early 90s. Whether he wanted to or not, he gave voice and form to the absolute RAGE felt by a population that was dying so those that survived could create a better world for LGBT people. More. More. And this latest book of letters!

Relationship between Alexandrite and Lemmy.world ? (lemmy.world)
 

Recently started using Alexandrite and am really enjoying the experience, but have questions.

I'm thinking of Alexandrite as the chocolate shell over my lemmy.world ice cream cone. Alexandrite is not an instance, correct?

I have not found a place on Alexandrite where my subscriptions (joined communities) are listed. Is this not yet available?

I assume that if I join a community in one (either Alexandrite or Lemmy.world) it will sync with the other. True?

I've joined communities in Alexandrite, but they don't show in the list of subscribed communities in lemmy.world. That just may take more time. Yes?

Thanks!

How many fediverse instances are you signed up with? (lemmy.world)
 

Title.

Newbie, recently joined, 7/1/23.

Right now, I'm on three: Lemmy.world (my 'main' or 'home'), kbin, and Blahaj Lemmy. I'm looking at Reddthat and sh.itjust.works as well.

Just curious. I know most of the content will overlap, but there are differences in philosophy/moderator style, etc.

Do you like having ONE instance?

I'm loving Alexandrite as the Dove dark chocolate enrobing my lemmy.world ice cream bar!

Unsuccessful at deleting lemmy.world account (lemmy.world)
 

I have accounts on Lemmy.world and Blahaj Lemmy and kbin. I would like to delete my account from Lemmy.world as they are not defederating from Meta/Threads. Plus, Lemmy.world is huge and spreading things across the fediverse makes sense.

When I go to Settings and try to delete my account in Lemmy.world, I'm asked to enter my password, I do, the response is a 'Saved' message, but the account is still there.

I want to keep my instance on Blahaj Lemmy, just not my instance on Lemmy.world

There must be an answer that I'm just not seeing. Thoughts?
