I'm not sure "Reddit levels of activity" is necessarily a good thing :)

But yeah that takes some getting used to for sure. I would think this is one of the more popular communities here for kinda obvious reasons given the nature of Lemmy. I've only been here since the first great migration but I've already seen Lemmy in general grow tremendously.

That is a very good question.

Man he’s such a little fucking snowflake isn’t he?

I can totally relate to this.

Yeah I’m not sure Facebook is what I’d be worried about for porn.

No it isn’t … 😂 (I’m in the same boat by the way).

If you can injure yourself sleeping, you are NOT younger… 🤣

I’m 54 so not that young but I find myself watching more very specific videos of subjects I’m interested in than more mainstream movies or tv shows. I mean occasionally I’ll watch a movie or show but probably 90% of the time I’m watching content creators on YouTube or the like.

I have a ton of these in the garage for woodworking. Screw the carpenters pencils, these are way better.

Why is Columbia University turning into such a fascist little bitch?

I love all the medical degrees they give their flight staff.

Yeah that’s a good analogy.

He probably had help.

Yeah anything ephemeral is fine like chats and what not. But this idea of using it as support platform is just dumb. You end up with people asking the same question over and over and it either doesn’t get answered because no one is around to answer it or likely because they’re annoyed at the same questions over and over. There is no organization and no institutional knowledge. It’s like it ends up being set up by people who think it’s what the cool kids want. And these giant communities just exacerbate this issue. Everything ends up being noise. It’s the reason I usually ended up turning off the world or general channels in WoW. It just ended up being annoying and distracting.

When I’m trying resolve a situation that I need some sort of support I wanna be able to search if others have had the same issue and see discussion around that topic. I don’t need synchronous communication for that. I don’t care if it was 3 months ago someone had the problem if they figured out how to fix it. The way to do that is forums, Reddit (well before the enshittification), or even Lemmy.

I don’t wanna upvote this. But I have to.

Best I can tell is it’s a normal `username@hostname current_directory$ sorta prompt with some coloring: • Red for the square brackets • Orange (color 172) for the username • Light blue (color 153) for the hostname • Amber (color 214) for the current working directory

Other than being hard to read from the embedded coloring I’m not sure why this is a war crime.

Yeah I’m gonna check this out at work next week for sure.

I was here.

Well…. (I see your point).

oh I voted. And dragged* all my kids to vote. And my reluctant wife. I did everything I could...

What the actual fuck is going on with my country?!? For fuck sake, not all of us are fascist bellends.
