I’ve been using RIF and old.reddit.com for as long as they existed. Reddit since the big Digg transition. Hope to never see the same happen to Lemmy!!

I believe in Canada we have high standards for our potable water, unlike the UK for example our water heaters need to be up to par (UK typically has seperate taps AFAIK).

So no need to boil, also if you’re trying to get rid of chlorine you can just use Brita filters, carbon filters that restaurants use do the same AFAIK. Also even cities like mine which (at least at some point before now) had way more houses than apartments still chlorinated the entire city’s supply.

Filters are insanely good these days. I was thinking about getting a life straw, but there’s a slightly more expensive alternative that can do like 500x more filtering before it needs to be replaced, and comes with a pouch you can fill and then pour into a regular water bottle. Life straws are meant to be drank from directly, and the alternatives that company offers are just water bottles with life straws built in - so you put unfiltered water in the bottle itself… Probably gets gross or requires constant cleaning

The Netscape loading logo was pretty cool, and of course it took a while to load every page!

A bit later than what I’d call the early internet, I’d say my favourite memory was winning a Super Soaker CPS 2500 when I was 13.

Whenever I hear inflation I instantly think “how much do you want to bet a bunch of greedy landlords and whatnot jacked up their prices without any of their costs going up even remotely as much, while blaming it on inflation?” and I feel like it’s literally every landlord, capitalist who’s money makes them money and they have an overinflated sense of importance and societal value

Yes, lemmy is pretty good quality, we of course need more people to browse new, I hardly ever on Reddit, but when I do it’s shit compared to here 👍

It’s wine when they have it but yes it turns into literal horseshit by the time it trickles down.

There’s just enough people in the middle class, pacified by their Netflix accounts and multiple yearly vacations to not give a fuck about the rest of us ☹️

And of course us working smucks get to taste all that shit just enough to want to struggle paycheck to paycheck, if we’re lucky

After loving the shit out of Control, I have to go back and play this sometime. I always knew about it but never seriously looked at playing it.

Speaking of, I might replay Control on the PS5. It was pushing the limits of the PS4 Pro

If you use Reddit is fun they added a feature to do just that, most likely only what was saved in the app

Hell yeah

Arrrr matey, I code all my pirate maps in base64. I suggest ye do the same, matey. Arrrrrrrggggh 🦜

I feel like Uber is just a well propped up dying beast

Just bug an admin on a bad day lol.

Sheesh. And all the muskites will still find a way to spin this as being the result of his genius…

😂 this is why I avoided programming, focused on hardware, and ended up cooking in kitchens lmao.

I was never a fan of sitting at a desk staring at a computer screen all day, even if I was good at it. Even with how complex hardware is these days, it feels more orderly and defined, if there’s m wrong with your rig, it’s most likely x, y, or z causing it, and it’s almost always x etc
