Gave him a skateboard a couple of years ago. He’s still trying to do the basic moves but he loves it. Doesn’t need new wheels yet 😅

Great idea but over budget. Don’t want to open a precedent 😅

That’s great, 10yo me would have loved that. But he already has some of that stuff and he’s focused on skate as fas as rolling things go. But I love the idea!

Gonna have to google that. Anything like a trampoline? Cause he has that already, the cheap small variety

30€ around that for budget. Definitely gonna search ninja lines, thanks for the hint.

He’s into skate now, but yeah, that crossed my mind, except to give him something decent would go over budget. Trying to keep it 30€ tops But thanks 🙏

Didn’t know about that, now I’m gonna research it. And thanks!

We made a slingshot from scratch using the old ways when he was like 5. But yes, a good idea, although parents might not agree. But I’m the cool crazy uncle :)

I just made my first post, chose asklemmy 🤷‍♂️

It went ok so far, testing the waters, you people have been nice and helpful 🙏

I dunno, sounds too expensive

He would love that, unfortunately we’re an ocean away .But you gave me a great idea, offer an experience instead of a thing!

Mastodon is single developer? 🤔

And thanks for the list, a question I should post on “no stupid questions “ I need to create a new account on every instance I want to explore, right? This is a rabbit hole inside a rabbit hole 😂

We’ve evolved technologically, not psychologically

I have an office account for work. I don’t happen upon the troubles people report here. I couldn’t leave MS as I basically use all their stuff for work (and so do the several other hundreds of employees here). But teams does work well: texting, videocalls with 100s of participants, recording meetings, file repositories

I use teams every day. My only gripe recently is the messages like “look the wonderful things we did to improve it” that I didn’t need and will probably never use, but I press the little X don’t know don’t care

I’m using discovery in ios phone mostly. It works nice once you learn how (I’m starting to sound like my old man)

But thanks for the help, you’re in my christmas list now

Ive been using descovery for a while. It works mostly great. I have to learn a bit better how this works as instances and filters go, but I think I got it figured out for the better part

I love the helpful feeling you get from people responses here, not those snarky one liners replies that add nothing (but I’ve done plenty of those on reddit, don’t want to bring that vibe here, although I might have failed already)

I’ll be better, I promise

People think humanity is so much more evolved now but it has been actually the same shit from thousands ago or whenever recorded history goes back.

Also: portuga was here

No. Just the same shit with less users. Let it grow (by the millions as lemmy is trying to convince us) and you’ll see. I say we get back to smoke signals

Every fruit from big supermarkets tastes like chemicals, looks shiny like you say and they’re all the same size. Also they pick them when they’re not ripe a refrigerate them, so an apple lasts like 3 days outside the fridge before you open it and it’s rotten inside. The good fruit and vegetables come from local markets. It’s less convenient and sometimes even more expensive but you get to taste and benefit from the better nutritional content.

Well thanks I’ll try your suggestions. I tried a portuguese instance but it was really slow going, maybe I should check again. Truth is I haven’t entirely figured how this works and to be truthful staying out of social media as whole has been refreshing. But I find the lack of users and memes from 10 years ago kinda charming, being a decades old reddit user, lemmy holds some of the niceness of reddit in the old years so I’ll stick around. Would mastodon be any better? Have no interest on xitter clones like bluesky
