  • I got that Dramm Heavy-Duty Brass Adjustable Nozzle, so I get that full-analog control and I feel like a fireman.

    Also, this thing survives the winter, and the next five of them. That's why I bought it. Everything else would be cool until the next spring when it was a leaky failure. I had to replace llke 4 of the ones in the OP, fricken Walmart specials, shitty plastic, garbage seals. Not the Dramm. This thing's fit for Canada. It doesn't care if it froze all winter, it's ready for spring, leak free.

    I get all these settings, and every gradient in-between, unlike the peasantry. Can you imagine? How droll. Merely 7 choices. Genteel shudder

    Only $17 on Amazon, so load that one up for a Father's Day gift. Mother's Day gift, too, you know she loves that garden. Did your friend just transition? Dramm garden hose nozzle, welcome to the elite, I put a little bow on it. Hell, I think I'd give it for Christmas to the right person. Dramm 12380, investment grade equipment, real Buy It For Life shit.

  • that's cool. The Masto instance I've been on for the last half year is no longer available and I'll have to start over because I didn't have a main and a back up account like I ended up with on Lemmy, but sure, that's alright. I have no idea what happened, the instance still has a blank page up, but it ain't Mastodon.

    I was finally feeling moved in but now, kaput.

    I don't think this thing was really ready for absolutely everyone on Twitter to bail onto it, is the problem. I don't think it was ever supposed to be. It was always supposed to be like a clubhouse for people who didn't mind being the dweebs of the internet.

  • We don't care about indickted, only convicted, give us a holler when the real thing happens. Orange jumpsuit to match his face, cuffs, perp walk, call me when I can see it or don't call me.

    Some folk have not watched this worm slither off the hook again and again, and it really shows.

  • Yep. Some of us remember when it was Fuck Ellen Pao, they seem to like their sacrificial CEOs over there, though I'm sure they get paid too much to be the scapegoat.

    That just makes me stop and think about how bad Musk loves being That Guy. The other ones will take the heat and then float away on their golden parachutes, you never really hear from them again. Not him. He keeps making new companies so he can be That Guy at them.

  • I'm really not interested in this being a Reddit clone. Several of the subreddits I wanted to be rid of have already popped up, here, while the better side of Reddit isn't really showing up, especially since Reddit re-opened and purged pesky mods so they could all get back to their scrolling.

    Oh, yes lawd, that's what I need. I need fucking antiwork to shit up the place with their misery vibe while 196 goes skipping back to Reddit and takes all the fun times with her. Sign me up.

    I wanted to become involved with a completely different community, with different mores, a different feel, and its own vibe. Fuck Reddit. I left that place looong before the blackout thing, I got tired of its toxic culture that sucked the life out of me after a few minutes.

    Now that's starting to leak into Lemmy and I'm frankly eyeing the door.

    If you liked Reddit, you need to go back there. I didn't like Reddit. I don't want to go back there. I don't want there to come here, either.

    The joy of the Fediverse is that growth is nice but we don't NEED growth. A lot of you can't understand that. You can't understand that the platform will NOT fail if it doesn't get the kind of exponential, runaway growth that you associate with social media success. We do not actually need to hit TikTok numbers, ever. We need steady, slow user growth from people wanting something different, that's what. If the Fediverse becomes the Linux of social media, fine.

    So no. No to this idea. Let Reddit stay on Reddit, thank you.

  • Granpappy lied about making money with the moonshine. If you leave jugs of it far away from the house, it keeps them occupied, and you can get some peace and quiet. The money was just a bonus.
