  • Aww, I thought it was football. But it’s futball.

  • Feels like I'm being bullied in renewing.

    Oh, make no mistake about it, you absolutely are. But OP asked about free options, and Spotify is one. A bad one, but still one.

  • I was going to do it as a side hustle, but then I found out that I would have to change the type of car insurance I have, and my rate would go up. If I didn’t and had an accident while delivering, my insurance company would 100% deny all claims - assuming they found out I guess. I wasn’t willing to risk it , and the higher premium cost made it unprofitable.

  • I’m a simple man, I will inhale some Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. They’ve recently come out with the Chocolate Lava Big Cups, and those are going to be the death of me!

  • Ha ha, jokes on you. I’ve been paying a gym membership for years but never go!

    Gotem!

  • I was on .world too, but I’m from Georgia, so I like being on yall.theatl.social much better. It’s a smaller, more tight knit community, and it’s in Atlanta, so it’s more-or-less local for me.

  • I used Apollo to browse Reddit. It was really a great app, and it made browsing Reddit enjoyable. The dev, Christian, listened to his users, frequently updated and improved the app, was active in the subreddit, and seemed to care about making it a positive experience. It really was like being a part of a club.

    It wasn’t just that Reddit shut down the API, but the way they boldfaced lied about Christian and their interactions with him. He was feverishly in talks with them to save the app, but Reddit not only wasn’t negotiating in good faith, but even worse, lying about the interactions to try to smear Christian and make him look like the villain. It was then that I knew that Reddit would never be the same, and I started looking for alternatives.

    I tried several, but Lemmy seemed to be the closest to Reddit and scratched the itch. Not only that, an amazing dev created Voyager, which is heavily inspired by Apollo, (pretty much a direct copy), and makes me feel at home. There’s not as many communities here as subreddits over there, but I have curated a great Home feed, which includes most of my interests and that I enjoy browsing. I can honestly say the comments here are much better and more authentic. On the whole I get real replies and have better conversations instead of trolls and confrontations like I frequently did at Reddit. I do stop in over there sometimes out of boredom and browse, but it’s really not the same as before. (And maybe it is, and I was just fooling myself and not seeing it.) I don’t think I’ve posted or commented on Reddit since Apollo died except on live sports game feeds, which I do miss over here. I found a regional instance that I like, and, on the whole, I really enjoy it here.

    TLDR: API killed Apollo.

  • I’ll bet he didn’t see that coming! Oh, wait….

  • This refers to Google instead of Wikipedia, but I think this cartoon still applies. 🤣

  • Read all about it in this month’s issue of Duh.

  • I’ve seen it a couple of times, and I can sit and watch it again. These people are out of their minds, and it’s interesting to watch an episode where even Gordon Ramsey is at a loss. I’m not a big fan of the show, and I haven’t watched that many episodes, but I can’t imagine that it’s common for him to just say “I can’t help you” and walk away.

  • From the way it’s written, at first I thought it said that Fox sponsors Bluesky.

  • I wear button up shirts for work, and I only button and unbutton the second one down and pull the shirt on and off over my head (I never button the top button). By not buttoning and unbuttoning the other ones, it reduces the stress on the threads, and greatly reduces the chance that you will have a button pop off.
