  • Lemmy only. Haven’t used reddit in a couple of years. I have a Pixelfed account that gets opened once every two weeks or so. No meta products, no xitter, this is it.

    Once I closed the instagram account, I lost a few friends. A couple I had known for years IRL. The important ones I am still in touch with, mostly via text of some sort

  • Don’t hang up when they ask what they can do better. Don’t stay with them either. Give them an honest, respectful, but blistering critique explaining why you are leaving and why you will never be back. Be polite, which means they have to keep you on the line. Your discreet example won’t make a blind bit of difference. However, all of these calls are recorded and the larger the sample they get, and the more the call centre staff talk about it, the more likely they are to listen to the feedback.

  • Brandani is Italian kitchen ware. Generally high quality, always avant garde. I can’t find that particular kettle, but suspect it’s stainless steel.

    Is there a model, or any sort of stamp you can post?

  • That’s a really slippery slope! I’m also in Queensland, and have been in various states of the coffee journey for nearly 20 years.

    My current setup, that really works well for me, is a delonghi dedica ec685m and a smeg CFG01 grinder.

    I also import beans from a mates coffee plantation in PNG.

    I love the coffee I brew, and it only took me 14 years to get to this point!!

    My point is, experiment, go slow. Bean quality is probably more important than most other things.

  • I have used rise up for nearly a decade. VPN as well as email, and it is legit. I donate more, sporadically, than it would cost me to subscribe to equivalent alternatives, but that’s a choice. When I was poor and couldn’t afford to contribute, there was no question.

    When a server was confiscated and subsequently returned, they wrote the server off rather than risk reconnecting it and potentially installing spyware.

    There are limits: exit nodes are limited to (from memory), four or five.

    For me, it’s a 4.5 out of five, and would only improve with more exit node functionality

  • The reference you are making is “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” Often rendered as “Who shall rid me of this troublesome priest?”

    Per Wikipedia “attributed to Henry II of England preceding the death of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170. While the quote was not expressed as an order, it prompted four knights to travel from Normandy to Canterbury, where they killed Becket due to an ongoing dispute between crown and church. The phrase is commonly used in modern-day contexts to express that a ruler's wish may be interpreted as a command by his or her subordinates. It is also commonly understood as shorthand for any rhetorical device allowing leaders to covertly order or exhort violence among their followers, while still being able to claim plausible deniability for political, legal, or other reasons.”

  • I got multiple awards on reddit for a stupid reaction to someone else’s comment. I was awarded several platinum things, multiple gold, had access to an exclusive lounge, all for a slightly drunk response to someone else’s comment, on someone’s post.

    Got a little braver after that.

  • Rise up has changed their invite policy to one every 24 hours. I am sending out invites in order of request, but have had (to date) 21 DM’s. I have to draw a line and will send one per day until I am cut off.

    Thanks
