  • I’m in Lemmy and Mastodon. I left Twitter for good about a week after the Tesla guy acquired it and made his first flex on the app. I don’t even remember what it was, but I didn’t want to be a part of his toy, and all he has done is prove me right over and over. I left Reddit within a couple days of the announcement that mobile app developers were getting screwed, and I’d essentially have to switch to the native app to use a full-featured Reddit. It seemed like a crappy thing to do since developers like LJ Dawson (Sync), the Relay person, etc are who really built Reddit since Reddit was slow to get into apps.

    I use Discord but only because it’s what’s required for a gaming guild, and my dynasty fantasy baseball league uses it too. I have no interest in using it outside of that.

    I’ve never really used Youtube, so I haven’t checked out Peertube. Likewise, I never really used Insta, so I haven’t looked that closely at Pixelfed. I’m considering Pixelfed since I’m a hobby photographer, but I share my pics on my personal website (I don’t care who sees them tbh, it’s fun for me) and on my FB. I can’t seem to shed FB with so many people I know using that to stay in touch and schedule events, and the Marketplace is leagues better than Craigslist.

    Why don’t you already have chopped onion in your fridge for when you’re feeling lazy? Be kind to your future self when you have the time and motivation. I chop a sweet onion or two every weekend and use it throughout the week on whatever. Gotta do peppers a couple times a week though. I put that stuff in everything.



  • Real question if I can sneak one in. If I want to buy a machine suitable to run Darktable for photo editing, which Linux distribution would be ideal for that? Other than photo editing, I might watch movies in browser while browsing other sites on a different screen. That’s all I really use PC to do these days. Advice? I don’t want to accidently use a butt plug.

    Edit for additional context if it wasn’t immediately apparent: I am a casual who just doesn’t like Microsoft. But I don’t use anything else that concerns me for a switch to Linux. I just want easy setup and use for my purposes.



  • I’ve seen an actual dumpster fire. I was the person who reported it and pulled the fire alarm in the building it was sitting next to. Let me tell you, it’s hard to look away from a good dumpster fire.

    I saw it when it was smoking with just a small flame. When I pulled the alarm in the residential building next to it, I also grabbed an extinguisher, but it was too dangerous to climb back up by the time I got back out there. I thought I might be able to slow it down but it quickly raged out of control and became a beautiful spectacle of destruction.This Reddit thing is like that for me.

    (the building was not damaged, thankfully, but I have different hopes for Reddit since they’re shunning the very things that built them)
