If anyone ever thinks differently, this video should convince you.
If you work for a corporation, you are not a person with a name, you are a number. And that number is the amount of money given to you as pay and benefits.
And when the corporation no longer likes your number, you can be unceremoniously shown the door, regardless of your past performance.
What distro are you running as your daily driver?
All, the, fucking, time.
This right here. Reddit started with very general based topics and only later did smaller niche subs take off.
Lemmy will get there. It’s just a matter of time and it’s only been a few months since the Great Reddit Migration of '23.
By this time next year, or maybe 18 months out, once instances become normalized and settled, with user tools to help find and organize them, Lemmy will then start to cause large dents in Reddit’s user base.
This looks like an IRL Far Side comic.
Having your own router/access point can’t be stressed enough.
And, you don’t even need their modem. Sure it’s an additional outlay of cash, but buying your own modem gets you a nice upgrade and no worries about someone connecting to the Xfinity access point that’s bundled in their equipment.
No, and I don’t miss it at all.
I’ve used BT headphones even when my last two devices had jacks and wouldn’t want to go back.
Prior to that, I can’t count the number of times I would snag the wires on something or get them tangled in some way.
Now I use my BT bone conduction headphones everywhere.
It could be in large red flashing neon and people will still ignore instructions like this.
Even if the trash dumpster is a mere 50 feet away.
People just don’t care. Once it’s out of their hands, no matter where it ends up, it’s someone else’s problem.
One complex where I used to live, our trash dumpster was a full on compactor, very nicely concealed behind a small hill. Signs leading up would say, “No cardboard!” Signs plastered all over the machine, “No cardboard!”
Yet, at least once, if not twice a week, the thing would be clogged because people would toss in boxes by the truckload. Not even broken down.
Meanwhile, just around the corner, a specific dumpster meant for cardboard only that would take all of 10 more seconds to get to.
Ugh, I once made the mistake of not checking what I was ordering at a bar.
Sour pumpkin beer. I know that many people like sours, and I like some pumpkins, but together, I’m out.
I’ll use Google maps to check for traffic on my route before leaving, but that’s all.
If I’m going somewhere I’ve been more than two or three times, I don’t use GPS.
I think of all the times I did that working on my cars years ago.
It was just something you did and no one ever even blinked. Old oil, gas, brake fluid, etc, right down the storm drain.
Now I think back and shudder.
I asked my 79 y/o mother if she knew. She didn’t even blink. “Because they’re not blue.”
Impossible to argue with that logic.
Who the hell cuts pizza?
Fold, eat.
Yes, you could just go to https://startrek.website/communities for the list of communities on that particular instance.
However, subscribing to a community on an instance where you do not have an account takes a few extra steps.
When looking at the list of communities on another instance where you do not have an account, clicking the Subscribe link from the list will result in a popup stating that you’re not logged in and if you click on the community name, a Subscribe button will not be shown.
However, most, if not all, communities will have instructions in the sidebar for how to subscribe from your main instance without the need for creating an account on the instance where that community resides.
To do this using the example of the startrek.website instance, if you wish to subscribe to the daystrominstitute community, you would enter “[email protected]” into the search field on your main Lemmy instance where you are logged in.
Generally the first item in the results will be a link back to that community, which will look like:
“Daystrom [email protected] - 448 subscribers”
Click that link and you will see the content of that community again, but now notice that a Subscribe button will be shown in the sidebar.
Clicking Subscribe may result in a note that says “Subscribe pending”, which I believe is due to some syncing that needs to occur between instances. Just give it a few minutes and then that community will appear in your list of subscribed communities.
You can now read, post and reply to that community just as if you had an account on that instance.
I think that getting peed on by an animal at a county fair is one of the entrance requirements for 4-H, so you can now check that one off the list.
And his buddy, “collaboration”.
