I for one, love the content.

Some of the lemmy front ends have an option to hide posts you’ve already seen. I know connect does.

It’s sooo terrible. I updated my phone not realizing it was going to be such a big change & it kind of ruined my day.

I’d love to go with a different OS, but nothing has stylus support for writing and note taking :/

A well made hammock really will live forever. 30 years is so impressive!

I was pretty excited when she actually decided to get in it with me :) she gets antsy if I swing to much, but likes the view

It’s a great hammock, i got it used like 5 years ago and it’s still going strong :)

I’ve lived in and worked at a number of co-ops. I think they’re far better for the employee than traditional businesses when implemented in a democratic way. Having control over the workplace and direction of the business is incredibly valuable. It’s also important that the co-op members talk to and know eachother. Having lots of meetings and community building is very typical in this type of business.

Also the type of co-op I’m talking about also returns excess profits to the workers (often with a portion taken out to be put back into the business/saved for a rainy day). In this way they are way better than unions, which no matter how powerful do not fully redistribute profits.

I also think worker co-ops are functionally better than worker communes. Co-ops give much more economic freedom to the workers, and side step many of the pitfalls of live/work communes.

Feel free to ask me more about my experiences if you’re curious :)

It’s grapes of wrath by john steinbeck

I agree with all your predictions to my questions lol.

Though i don’t think rednote will actually take the place of tiktok, I think that’s mostly a protest migration & something else will take the top spot – if tiktok actually stays banned. I do think there’s a chance trump will choose not to enforce the ban in a meaningful way because he knows it will rally quite a few young and nieve voters into his camp (plus he’d probably get a hefty payoff).

Same! I think it is nice to have something developing that isn’t as overwhelmingly frightening as lots of the things in the works right now. Like this is high stakes and says alot about corruption in America, but like at least it’s not something that could potentially put me or my loved ones in harms way.

It’s going to be so interesting seeing how all of this plays out. Will meta succeed in reclaiming their market share? Will a new app take the throne? Will congress just keep banning any app that is too popular and not under the american oligarchys control? Will trump somehow leverage this into him being the one to save tiktok? Will loops UI ever be good enough to compete? Only time will tell.

What a strange timeline we live in lol

I’m so sorry you went through such a terrible schooling environment. I work with neurodivergent kids and its so sad to see and hear about some of the ‘methods’ people think are appropriate. It’s truely heartbreaking knowing it’s not just you but an entire school of people who were systemically abused and further disenfranchised.

I hope you are able to find a way to heal and move forward in your life, i know how sticky trauma can be.

Edit to add: sorry to comment on such an old post lol, i just realized this tread is like a month old

Also just an fyi that my instance and app display it as pinned (slrpnk and connect). Also my default is to sort by top.

Idk what it means, just figured I’d also chime in with some extra data lol

Lol LG always has the worst emotes

Super interesting review! I love reading about people’s favorite games they have played for decades, especially when they’re niche :)

They can happen to anyone. Some hypothesis why they happen include: uv damage to skin, hormonal imbalences, malnourishment, and genetic factors.

I once had one on my shoulder and it really weirded me out lol

Yeah the whole process of trying to deal with facebooks customer service has been annoying to say the least lol.

Glad other people also seem to think having it locked is a good enough solution

Lol probably more effort and money than the zero amount I’m looking to put into it

It’s locked so I would have to verify it in order to do any kind of resetting passwords and stuff. Which requires uploading photo id and a video of my face. I don’t really want to do all that, so I’m hoping that it being locked is enough to keep it from being used by hackers.

I honestly just stopped using it so long ago & hadn’t even thought about the account until my sister told me it got hacked. I don’t care about having access to it, I just want it to be effectively useless lol

I tried but they would want me to verify it first & thats a whole process that requires sending them a photo of my lisence and a video of me. I don’t really want to do all that lol

Thus me hoping that it being locked is good enough
