  • Bites the peach and just leaves it there.

  • I was gonna ask - PeopleOfWalmart? I can see it now - a 400lb man in fur suit bikini, engulfing the electric scooter, half-eaten peach in one hand, half-empty Fireball nip in the other, freshly knocked-over produce display spread in front of him.

  • The Fediverse needs an r/fatlogic analog, made entirely of stretchy materials of course, where this kind of Fat Acceptance garbage can be posted. It's a special flavor of mildlyinfuriating, Now with 200% of the calories, but don't worry, it's healthy ... of course it is!

  • If you think scambaiting is good entertainment and you've somehow not come across Lenny, today's your lucky day:https://www.youtube.com/@ToaoDotNet/videos

    It's gonna be wonderful to watch the Lennys of the world become increasingly more sophisticated/human-seeming and less random.

  • I'm obviously old. what is this "rule" trend I'm seeing everywhere on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • It's annoying AF, much like the habit of people posting comments consisting of "Based" all over the place in recent times. The latter is dying down fortunately, and I hope the R meme meets a quick and painful death very soon.

  • In your opinion, which FOSS software is by many considered "old" or "obsolete", but are in fact, in your opinion, in many ways better than the newer alternatives?

  • The Thunderbird desktop mail client is far better (feature-rich, stable, interoperable) than any webmail or phone app mail client I've ever seen.

  • What is a good hobby/skill that most people should give a try, and why so?

    Jump

  • My Dad was hugely into ham radio throughout the time I was growing up, and yeah, it was the quintessential nerd hobby before home computers came along.

  • What's the best place to get news now?

    Jump

  • Hacker News has long been one of my main news sources. The majority of postings are tech-related but there's a lot of more general content and the moderation is very good. https://news.ycombinator.com/ . I generally use Feedly to browse it.

    For excellent, in-depth analysis of world events/politics/economics there's the UK-based publication The Economist - https://www.economist.com/ - which is a paid service (expensive!) but has a lot of free content on the site, esp. if you're signed-up, even as a free user. It's not an aggregator though - more like a better NY Times without all the stupid fluff.

  • Subreddit replacement directory

    Jump

  • Sounds great to me, but I'm not sure how many average people would be willing to learn to use git and get an account at the repo host just to submit update suggestions. It would be nice if the site owner had some documentation up explaining their plans, if any, for how this will operate in the longer term.

    I didn't think to save my subscription list (duh) and I'll be damned if I'm going to log in again to do so. I'm done with Reddit at least until they fire that absolute ass of a CEO and back off on all of his dumbshit money-grubbing schemes. That means 'probably never' and I'm 100% fine with that, fuck them and a hearty hello to the fediverse.
