Freakazoid was unhinged and spastic in a way I haven’t seen since

As I recall, aeon flux started in the United States on mtv as part of its “liquid television” block in the early 90s. Back when the station was owned by viacomm, same as Nickelodeon. It shared several voice actors with Rugrats too

To me, that looks like a baritone with rotary valves as opposed to piston type valves. It seems like the right size, and the piping is cylindrical, as opposed to conical.

I was looking for commander keen on here! I have fond memories of using the pogo stick to jump as high as possible as a child. My old daycare had some old MS-DOS type computer and it was my favorite game when I had a turn to use it

Can confirm. I have 10 year old pi2 that is dedicated to pi hole and even that is not utilizing all of its 1gb of memory

I’m going to grad school soon for cs and they require windows 11. This is gonna be a fun test in locking down my machine and only doing updates with intention

Sounds interesting! I have definitely gone down some wikipedia rabbit holes. I requested to subscribe. Once I’m accepted I’ll share some of my favorite’s.

I don’t have an answer to this question, but I will provide my anecdote.

I have a smallish bin inside for all of my recycling. I rinse out of my bottles and cans in water so that the bin doesn’t get stinky. I’m not required to in my area, I just don’t like the smell of stale beer or old beans lurking next to my door.

My process is to just leave any bottles/cans/drinks that are recyclable next to my sink and when I do the dishes, I rinse them all out at the end and put them in the drying rack. the next morning they go to the inside bin. When the inside bin is full, I move that to the outside bin. Not too much effort, and my house smells (relatively) good

While I live in an area that doesn’t have too big a problem with bee populations, I’m excited for my friends who have to manually pollinate their plants and trees by hand

I miss the random passion of /r/CFB. It was great because all of the toxicity normally in sports was gone, and everyone was just enjoying the game and news about their teams. In the off-season people would concoct the most convoluted, elaborate shitpost for why their team is the best. I think my favorite essay was once about how the Alabama Crimson Tide’s greatest enemy wasn’t any other team, but the full moon, and went into a heavy statistical data dive to demonstrate how the teams few losses (they were seriously on an unprecedented run for over a decade) all came on or around the full moon. That and the team are the Tide, so of course it’s the moon.

That type of energy focuses on college football is lacking in Lemmy, and I haven’t found something similar here yet

This puts into words what I’ve been feeling more and more over the years. I felt that Reddit had developed some sort of language all its own (thanks for the gold kind stranger, happy cakeday, etc), that felt off to me. On top of that, the sensationalism, and the ever increasing political echo chambers, and then closing the API access to force everyone onto their own app out the final nail in the coffin for me. I’m not off reddit entirely, but I’ve gone read only and only on a computer. Lemmy seems more organic, and genuine to me

I can second buzzkill. I was getting frustrated with group chats during work hours buzzing my phone (and my watch) with every single message as they came in. It was incredibly distracting during meetings and such (and putting my phone on silent wouldnt stop the watch notifications). I tried buzzkill to add a “cooldown” to the push notifications for anything that happened twice in a few minutes. You can absolutely set rules on notifications based on things like time of day, or on specific apps.

Pardon my reddit jargon, but there is a Lemmy equivalent to a sub for “would anyone be interested in X topic?” That might be a good way to help. It also makes another community for people to adopt and use, though, which is the problem you’re describing

I was just thinking “maybe I can just give them my email…” but of course it isn’t that simple

I do think it’s important to keep up to date. Even discounting the things I can’t control getting through my filters, there have been things that have directly affected my family and their jobs because of things Trump has done and I did not know about until after the fact. There is a line somewhere that you should be aware of, or else you may just be burying your head in the sand.

Separately, I use boost for Lemmy on android. Thank you for telling me about tesseract. I haven’t been as successful with any keyword filters in browser

I’ve taken a bit of a different approach. I’ve been using a keyword filter to remove posts that contain any words I don’t care to read about. So no posts about trump, Elon, RFK, cyber trucks, etc.

I am not here to get that kind of news, I do that separately with the news sources I can trust and verify. Otherwise any tabloid or sensational opinion piece can potentially try to ruin my day all in the name of getting clicks

My guess, as a cloud developer, there may be a bottleneck at their authentication, or session management. Your web browser has probably been signed in for a while. I’m guessing your app hasn’t been able to get past that point, and is stuck in the bottleneck

As an American. Hard agree. I long for a first past the post voting system reform

As a software engineer, I would think to call this a patch or a hotfix. I agree that recall for this type of situation is a bit too dramatic, but I’d also say that patch or hotfix are too casual sounding

Noteworthy composer has a free edition that I’ve used before. It was somewhat basic, but it gets the job done
