Lemmy isn’t ready for primetime. It isn’t meant to be at this point. It’s very much a work in progress and for a lot of us, seeing the progress is part of the fun in being here.
Yeah, lemmy.world had some issues, but things have been pretty stable for me for a few weeks now.
I’m on Eternity, and no issues so far. But I’ll keep an eye out when lemmy.world updates to 0.18.5. Again, this is part of the progress. Sometimes shit breaks. If that’s a deal breaker for you, it’s totally understandable.
I guess ultimately, it’s just about what you’re comfortable with. If you aren’t interested in dealing with the issues that come along with early adoption, just move on. It’s okay. For me, I’ve been breaking and fixing computers for almost 40 years. It can be a bummer when something doesn’t work, but there are so many people freely giving their time and efforts to fix things that I can’t really be mad about it. I know how it goes and that things will get fixed.
Haha. Last night my teen was watching the MJ halftime performance. She was SO offended that they cut the rap out of Black and White because “it’s the only part of the song that makes sense!”
I drew a duck for my little cousin last weekend and she very quietly said “it looks like a butt.” She wasn’t entirely wrong and I started laughing pretty hard. She bolted and wouldn’t talk to me again. I felt so bad.
I recently had about $40 of Play Store credit that was inaccessible to me for weeks. Google support just kept telling me “Okay, wait 24 hours and it should be good now.”
FINALLY someone got it straightened out, but during the course of it, I had to explain to support what Stadia was and why I didn’t have a gift card number.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a single episode, but The O.C. had great music. I had enjoyed Phantom Planet’s first album and loved this one. Only later did I discover this song had blown up like it did.
I think you should try Christopher Moore. Suggested starting point: Lamb.
Here’s how it starts: six year old Jesus and his little brother are playing a game where the brother kills a lizard with a rock, then Jesus puts it in his mouth to resurrect it.
His humor is irreverent, absurd, and constant. The stories are all grounded in the real world though, so you won’t struggle to understand lore, settings, or language. Very easy to read.
Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t even realize there was one.
Real quick: The Folk Implosion are together again and put out an album today collecting the music they wrote for KIDS plus some other things. They’re also working on new music.
