I’m currently at this juncture and trying to decide whether to go back to school and start entirely fresh or to hold out for another year or two to see how things go. The anxiety of what the future may or may not hold is real and I’m just standing here, watching the distances shorten faster and faster while still not...
How do you all feel about bots?...
I just had a Discord moment where a throwaway line was highlighted as high art, and I looked at what I’d dashed off and was like, “Oh, my Picard voice. Not generally useful outside of editorial writing.”
as always, we’re back. how’s your week going folks
The popular Reddit app is now available for Lemmy! Very nice interface, it doesn’t look like you can create a post in the app just yet though....
Is there some rule that employees have to follow that doesn’t allow customers to bag? Or is it just that they’re incentivized to offer? I’d love some input from people who have worked in some of the bigger companies. For reference, I mostly use Publix.
Since my main lemmy’s password is locked behind Bitwarden, I had to make a new account to post. Originally I started using passwords manager because I keep forgetting passwords. But my paranoid ass is so worried that someone saw me typing my Bitwarden master password so I feel the urge to change it. So now I forgot the new...
i have perhaps the most important social obligation possible—meeting my SO (who I have been dating for 5 years and engaged with for 2 1/2 years)—so that will largely and unfortunately preclude me posting or doing much here on account of living out of a hotel for the next seven or so days. it’s also just a good idea to take...

Title. Key management is so not intuitive at all. You have your session verification key in case you have no access to another session. Fine, i totally understand. Then you have E2E room keys you can either backup on your homeserver or in a file. Fine, except not so much. I exported my room keys to a backup file and deleted them...
It was me. I’m just excited that I published something and wanted to tell somebody about it. Especially something that might actually be useful to people (instead of just used by other businesses). It’s not often I’m let out of the data warehouse cage these days....
This webpage lists ableist words and phrases that marginalize and oppress disabled people. Some words are outright slurs while others are ableist in origin or use. The author notes that not all disabled people find all the listed terms offensive. The list is meant as a learning tool, not a censorship guide. Using person-first...
I’m sorry if this doesn’t fit but I don’t know where else to talk about this....
I’ve had this feeling that since there are forces that do not want us to have free speech, and that the destruction of Reddit and Twitter does this effectively, creating a chilling effect, destroying social links and communities. Might it not be an intentional effort to stifle the ability of the downtrodden to organize and...
i have no idea where to put this but it is oddly captivating

It took us three days with breaks in between but we finally finished this giant puzzle. Never underestimate how difficult a thousand pieces could be. It was a really nice offline activity to spend with my partner ♡
One of my most active subs on Reddit was /r/MensLib, an open, pro-feminist, trans-inclusive space for people to discuss men’s issues without toxicity and without anger or violence directed at women or men. It was a (mostly) wonderful community that fostered lots of genuine, heartfelt discussion, and it would seem to me that...
Phones are getting better support lives these days, but they still physically outlast their software support. How important is that safety net/blanket for you?
I’ll go first! I wanna move to a ranch in Canada with a boyfriend who can turn into a werewolf, and own some goats and chickens, and we will have a houserule where no-one can purchase disney plus. What about you guys?
I recently got into RSS and I’m trying to discover some feeds. What I honestly don’t like is that some websites that use RSS and post a new article every couple hours. I’m looking for more personal blog type feeds. Personal projects. Posts that have a “soul” in them, if you will. If you have some that you love, share...
Wollte euch zu diesem Artikel fragen, wie Ihr die Anfangszeit des Internets in Erinnerung habt (bin gerade noch zu jung dafür). Wünscht ihr es euch zurück? Und glaubt ihr es kann überhaupt wieder so werden? Würd mich sehr intressieren
I’ve found this site to be a lot better than the alien site, but having looked at the mod log just now I’m still seeing a lot of comments that remind me of the very reasons I left that site. Big ups to the mods and admins for keeping the site clean of that trash though
Not marking this as NSFW because it’s about health, but mods please let me know if you think it should be and I will change it....
I brought everyone together to reminisce over memories and yearbook photographs. We learned where some people went off to and that a couple died, did drugs, became strippers, et cetera. lol It really did feel like we were in high school again, except we were of drinking age. I talked to people that I actually didn’t talk to in...
