In the book Wade Watts powers his Oasis console and a small heater using a battery that he recharges in a van by pedaling a stationary bike. This seems quite far fetched. The console itself appears to be a thin client with only enough CPU Aand GPU power to render the Oasis and a little extra to contribute to the server for...
The background here is that I have been a web developer for over 20 years and I feel like I’m drifting dangerously close to burnout. A lot of my blog posts revolve around me exploring this topic and trying to figure out what to do about it....
My profile currently shows that I’ve made 1 post and 11 comments, which tracks with what I remember doing, but only two of those comments (and no post) seem to be showing up in my profile when I view it. Has anyone else had part of their lemmy history vanish into the ether?
I have a particular limitation when it comes socially. I perform fantastically in person, but I have absolutely no social sense when it comes online. My best opportunities are a board game night meetup and some chance meetups at an arcade nearby on the weekends. I am neither old, Christian, or a drinker, hence the limited...
As in the topic - anything you would recommend?
Anyone have suggestions for fun things to do? Also, am I going to freeze my balls off?

As the title says, I'm getting pretty overwhelmed by a growing list of tasks I have to do. Laundry is piling up, I still need to unpack my car from a roadtrip last weekend, and an issue I've been working at work has been dragging on for too long....
Hi everyone! I’m in my late 20s and I’ve been reminiscing on my young adult life and what I like/don’t like. One point that has been coming up for me is close, vulnerable friendships. I used to have a few friends who I was very close to a few years ago, who I could talk to about deep life stuff, big emotions, vulnerable...
Now that we’re no longer linked to lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works we can’t subscribe to their communities any more....
And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco....
I’ve always been concerned about privacy, and I’m ignorant of how the fediverse works at a low level....
Is it really harder to find true, meaningful friendships (not romantic and/or sexual) in more ‘adult’ years or is this an introverts problem? I am quite introverted at first, I would never just start a friendly conversation with a stranger and work friends usually are just work friends. I moved to UK in 2019 and since then I...
If there’s one phrase that has echoed in the back of my mind, it’s that I have no family, and by that I mean no children or spouse - and I’m middle aged....

Howdy y’all! It’s already one week in to October. This is the first update post, so comment below with your progress, challenges, and next steps. See you all next week!
i have no idea where to put this but it is oddly captivating
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....
I’ll start....
Like a cowbee
Hey everyone! I’ve seen several posts here about cycling, so figured I’d see what suggestions you folks might have about starting to ride on suburban roads in the U.S....
Hi everybody! I couldn’t figure out a good place to put this so I’m going to put it here. All the running/fitness communities seemed dead....
