I'm spending way more time online in general and on SM in particular, just not on one platform. I think it's because, in searching for something new, I've found all of these other places each with their unique culture, atmosphere, etiquette, and language. And each place is introducing me to new things (new search engines, browsers, streaming sites and apps, podcasts, RSS feeds to subscribe to, etc.) If I had stuck to Reddit, I just would've been doomscrolling instead of exploring what's out there.

I will say it's good that:

• You are normalizing electric cars for other drivers who see you on the road and for your family, friends, and neighbors
• You are not using gas
• You are saving money on fuel

That was a dose of niceness for this thread :)

I have a neighbor who has a Tesla and I legit feel bad for him for the scorn he is probably having to deal with in his circle (he bought it pre Twitter Musk and he works in politics on the left).

ChatGPT letting it all out.

We need a Fediverse version of Rimjob Steve (i liked that subreddit).

How have you used Perplexity.ai?

I upvote for general encouragement. But I upvoted this especially to be nice to you, OP. I also gave you a lil boost.

Twitter's new CEO is on her own glass cliff. This tactic is so obvious.

Yes, they left a message with a link to their Diacord.

They left a link to their Discord:

Does Overdrive work on a Kindle? (I use it on my phone.)

Did they come up with the new name in some kind of software name generator? Sort of like the hip hop name generator that Donald Glover used to come up with Childish Gambino?

I clicked on the link (this was posted.on Tildes, that's where I clicked) and it was a flood of "API" sprinkled with some "F U u/Spez" comments. Just nonstop. So, I suspect this is not going over so well.

I don't think there's a way to do this in Lemmy. I did this in Inoreader (until I decided to unfollow those subs completely).

OP, you can set up a RSS subscription to your fave Reddit sub. It might not give you all of the replies but it should give you the original post.

Also, there's a RedditUpdates community (or magazine?).

Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to.

ETA: This pushed me to finally uninstall it

Is there any risk to streaming movies in bflix? Do you need anything special to use that site (like a VPN)? There is a little knowledge barrier to doing things like this.

The nurse is asking you to summarize your chief complaint (the reason why you came to the doctor).

I haven't heard The Replacements mentioned in so long. Thanks for the reminder. Unsatisfied is definitely a banger.

Maybe in the sample basket would be Foo Fighters (My Hero, Everlong).

I thought a banger was just a stronger version of a bop - a really great song that slaps (more youngin vernacular).

There is such a thing as a sad banger - a slower, more downbeat song that is great and really moves you. May I submit for your approval: New Person, Same Old Mistakes by Tame Impala (or Same Ol' Mistakes by Rihanna). ETA: I would also consider Missing by Everything But the Girl a sad banger.

If I were to install this on an Android phone that currently has Firefox and uBlock Origin, will this appear as a second browser app? Or does this overwrite FF? (Yes, I am tech illiterate. )
