Correct, I thought that’s what you were after. Beyond that, I do not know. It seems that comments have some sort order in posts, but this seems to vary between new and top. Community specific, maybe?

In that case, hit the bell icon on your top right, and select between “All” and “Unread”. It shows replies to your posts and comments.

Depends on how you access Lemmy.

In Voyager I can click a comment to collapse it, and if I later return to the thread the comment stays collapse. So in effect, collapsing comments as I read them will hide them. However, it would also hide any replies to those comments.

Also, in Voyager at least, any replies to my comments and posts will show up in my inbox, newest on top. That’s usually how I read replies.

Glenn Miller Orchestra was formed a while after Glenn Miller (of “Glenn Miller and his orchestra”-fame) disappeared in 1942. The new band was more or less a continuation of the old band, with some overlap in members. They’re still active today.

IIRC, the intention was for Deep Purple to continuously have members come and go, effectively making them a Band of Theseus. However, there was one lineup that was a lot more successful and famous, so changing the lineup would be detrimental to success.

Normally no. The only exception is jeans: Buying a few pairs at Target a while back resulted in the first instance of me actually liking the clothes I bought. They were just so damn comfy.

Home by new. All by top 6h

Most people around me don’t think about them, as there aren’t many (any?) around where I live.

Personally it’s a bit different, as I work with a lot of them when I’m traveling on business. They’re like me: they do what they do because they have bills to pay. The only difference is that I butcher the pronunciation when using their names.

While probably not sanctioned by the Chinese state (or our employer), I did get quite a few chuckles because of an offhand comment/joke about Taiwan that doesn’t align with Xi’s worldview or policy. This leads me to conclude that all the reporting about “China is doing X/Y/Z, omagerd!” Is limited to the state, and while the state certainly has its supporters, the populace as a whole don’t care and just want to live their lives like anyone else would.

Asked my GF who’s an aspiring crazy cat lady:

It’s because (proper) cat food is engineered to contain all the nutrients they need. While it looks like a bland mush of only one thing, it’s more like the cat equivalent of having several full nutricious meals run through a blender. The required variety is built in.

My knee-jerk reaction would be “if you’re happy”, but I had an epiphany a while back:
I was chitchatting with a coworker over way too many beers and he asked me something along the lines of “were you happy growing up (insert background here)”, and after weighing my words I responded that “I would’ve been, except I’m generally not a very happy person”.

So am I satisfied with my life? Yes.
Do I have worries? Yes, like anyone else on this planet. Mine are pretty minor and not debilitating.
Do I consider myself happy now? See above.

But yet, I’d conclude that I’m living a good life, even if I’m generally a grumpy guy.

You might want to edit that post title, lest you attract “yes”-replies from people who don’t bother reading the post body.

Yes. With a screwdriver.

Without cheating improvising? Nope.

I’m in a couple of community-specific mod chats on matrix. Also, the matrix room for NonCredibleDefense is fairly active.

I’ve been meaning to set up a matrix chat for CasualConversation, I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

I’m not a corporate penguin, but I’m in a position where I often find myself in meetings with them. While there’s a lot of corporate jargon, such as “Let’s circle back on that”, and other common phrases, I am so happy that my industry doesn’t have a “user experience” to “monetize”.

We are the survey equivalent of hotdog vendors: you pay us, we do geophysical surveys for you. Sure, there’s an armada of geophysicists that work oit the specifications regarding the type of condiments and hotdog buns, and the hotdog is produced on a ship, but at the end of the day, I like how little fluff there is.

I travel a lot, so I have a bunch of stuff downloaded onto my laptop. And a lot of that stuff I have mirrored onto my phone. And on top of that I have additional stuff loaded onto a tiny USB C drive that I can plug into both for when I want to store stuff for later loading onto my phone.

I often find myself watching an ep on my phone in an airport lounge, and doing the next ep on my laptop on the plane.

Generally, I’m not that picky in terms of screen size, I usually go for the biggest screen conveniently available. And my laptop has the additional benefit of allowing me to use my Roland headset.

EDIT: Splelign is hrad.

Considering how the US is doing these days, I don’t entirely disagree with you.

More than acceptable. To put it this way: Rhinos are objectively cool; You know what would make them cooler? Bigger and more pointy bits.

The 4400

I used to do a lot of parse-compile-report scripting, and I’m very curious about how the data is formatted in the pdf. Would you be willing to share it?

Other than that, fiverr or an LLM is perhaps your best bet.
