Well I’m craving something in this genre but I’m a bit overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time. So many titles and yet I’m not sure what to read. Maybe you can help?...
David Eddings? I read him way back when I was a kid (~35 years ago). Think the series was called The Belgariad or Belgarion. The first 3-6 books were fun in a light yet captivating, magicy, fantasy way.
I’m on a Galaxy S7’edge’ that I really need to migrate away from. I don’t want the foldable, and I’m not into iphones. How good/bad is the Galaxy S24 in this situation?
Both of these collections have more or less ‘dropped off’.
Menus are mostly printed take-out menus, though I swiped the in-house menu as well when I could. Now, most of the casual dining places have replaced menus with QR codes.
The grass clippings were just a snip of a memorable event (cousin’s college football game, first time solo camping, special event, new home, etc.).
David Wojnarowicz was born this day (9/14/1954). Artist in a variety of media, and hero to at least one freaked-out fa%%ot in the closet back in the late 80s/early 90s. Whether he wanted to or not, he gave voice and form to the absolute RAGE felt by a population that was dying so those that survived could create a better world...
Almost every guy takes the stall closest to the door, so I never take that stall. Since almost every guy takes the first stall, I never take the second stall cuz, eww.
The fourth stall is the handicap stall. While roomier and equipped with handlebars should the need arise, I do not use this stall.
Therefore, the third stall is my unloading port of choice as it seems to get the least use.
As I understand it, there’s a huge downside to federated software in the requirement to be Always Online. Lots of people have slow internet connections, or no connection at all, preventing them from accessing their software. Everyone should be able to use the programs/apps they have without regard to whether they are online or can get online.
It sucks migrating between instances right now. I’ve found no way to port my subscriptions from one instance to another. All of your subscriptions are saved on your current instance as websites, but to subscribe on you new instance they need to be formatted ![name]@instance Lots of work needs to be done
Despite being right handed, it feels more comfortable to place my phone in my left front pocket. Maybe because having a wallet in my right pocket predates using mobile phones. What feels most natural for you?
I agree with you, but What action(s) are you taking? I’m not an admin/moderator. I don’t want Meta (or Twitter or Tik-Tok) influencing this new space, as it grows, to the degree possible. I’ll keep exploring, just not sure what controls I have over the situation.
First week here at Lemmy and kbin; still figuring things out. I DO NOT want a relationship with Meta and hope to minimize, if not eliminate, the amount of data they have on me.
Never joined Facebook, Insta, Twitter, Tik-Tok, any of it, as they each were creepy. Reddit was my only thing and then this year happened.
