I'm here!

  • Lemmy is much less US-centric than Reddit.

  • Saying this as a lifelong Crue fan, they’ve never been a good touring band. Even in their heyday it was, at best, a good time with a crowd of like minded people who were mostly stoned or drunk out of their minds. Vince has never been a good live vocalist, he’s just had enough good days to mange to put out a couple of live albums of cherry picked performances.

  • $10 of bar soap lasts longer than $50 of that gel stuff.

  • You came through in the end. That’s what really matters. Thank you.

  • No u.

  • This is information I could’ve used LAST WEEK!

  • Which has always been an asinine point of view. By the time a site has blocked the paste the password is already in the clipboard. No security has been added in that regard, only frustration.

  • Among other things, I’d keep going to work. I enjoy my job. What I’ll really enjoy is every time someone tries to pawn off something on me that’s not actually my job I’ll tell them, “not my job”

  • As someone who had a slight stutter at a young age that made him even more heroic in my eyes.

  • James Earl Jones. He was doing a book signing in his small hometown, not far from me, when his autobiography was published. As it was such a small shop he spent time talking with everyone who came by. Hearing Darth Vader’s voice coming from such a humble and relatively soft-spoken man was an amazing experience.

  • Nope. You’ll tire out if you try to get nuts when you first start but you’ll improve quickly. Doesn’t take a lot of air.

  • Harmonica. I’m serious. You can started with a decent harp for $25 and carry it in your pocket for whenever the mood strikes you.

  • My Nextel back in the 90s had the same type of extended battery. Thick as hell by today's standards but it didn't actually fit better or worse in my pocket or my hand. Also didn't feel like I needed an external case just because it might slip out of my hand at any second.

  • As much as I like my thin devices, all batteries should be user replaceable without the need for disassembly of any kind.

  • It’s not enough to be federated with an instance in order for the content to pour in. Someone on your instance also needs to be subscribed to the individual communities.

    I have a bot account that regularly polls the top posts on the five largest instances. If it notices any post from communities that it is not already subscribed to it does so, pulling all the content from that point forward. Even after doing to this for weeks I’m still only pulling about 800 communities and the signal to noise ratio is still good.

  • My personal instance that is pulling in close to the top 500 communities. Over the past week I see about 4 million requests and 17GB data served.

  • Don’t fool yourself. Lemmy has karma, it’s just not presented in the default UI.
