Onmail is pretty awesome. You get 10gb free and it has a function where you have to approve first contacts. Very easy way to block spammers.

I use it to get mail from two other accounts.

I have used proton before and it’s fine but the one annoyance is that it treats mail in trash as archived mail, which means that you get a lot of: there is deleted mail in this thread.

I agree. Avery Brooks is stellar in the series and one of my favourites of all trek. I really hate that there never was a movie showing if Sisko ever got back from the prophets and what happened to Jake and Cassidy and their unborn child.

It was told beautifully in the season 8 books, but I would have loved to have seen it!

As for episodes Avery is stellar in, I would count Past Tense as well. It’s such an underrated duology and Avery is truly magnificent in it.

I agree. Such an emotional episode and Sisko’s heartbreak in that last scene. Man, I tear up just thinking of it. Such magnificent acting too. The love on Sisko’s face gets me every time.

Try it with oatmilk. It’s so delicious!

I especially love the barista oat milk with cereal. It’s a little more expensive, but delicious.

Almond milk is so wonderful as well.

Used a url generator thingie, and then used the name it came up with as my username everywhere

The first thing that came to mind: an olive fork. It was an expensive brand too.

I don’t eat olives and the giver knew that. The fork is still unused in my junk drawer.

Don’t have a tip from my own life, but I know someone who has them 😊

I can highly recommend minimalmom on YouTube. She makes videos about family minimalism, and I think her info may be very useful.

She is currently running a course on minimalism that explains the concepts of it.

Yeah, those dang bots! I haven’t found a place I used to visit without tons of spam

I do sometimes go back, but most of the places I used to visit are empty other than bots sharing crap. It used to be such a great place, had really supportive groups but also many many weird ones.

I really miss IRC and usenet. And I know both still exist but I miss the communities there 😊

That’s great, thank you. I always just put on Lofi girl on YouTube or, if I want to work not connected to the internet, I put on a playlist for some of the albums I downloaded on my iPod nano.

I think that people will still stick with Reddit just like there are a lot of people still using Twitter: it feels like their home online.

Here’s a funny thing though, I’ve seen so many posts on Lemmy by people saying they were lurkers on Reddit but they do (intend to) post here.

That can’t be a coincidence 😊I am one of those former lurkers/occasional posters and I’m kinda active here.

(As an aside: I do wonder if the lack of overload due to constant ads can be attributed to that)

I really don’t miss Reddit much now, because the communities on Lemmy are wonderful, and they can only grow more.
