How is search at the moment? I’m trying to get to communities I know exist via search but can’t. I wait forever but it still says “No results” even high I know there should be.
I used to frequently transfer money between two countries, the process of which required talking to a human at the time. During one such conversation, the Customer Service Representative asked a new question: “What’s the purpose of the transfer?” This immediately took me aback, partly because I didn’t expect the question and partly because, much like your father, it’s none of their fucking business.
After stumbling a bit, I learned the magic phrase “personal use”. After that, every transfer I initiated was for “personal use” until such time as the bank automated the process and I no longer needed to speak to a human to transfer the money across an international border.
I have no earthly idea why “personal use” is acceptable, since it conveys no more useful information than writing nothing, but then it’s not my policy and I don’t care.
Well an account on a lemmy instance is an account on the fediverse, since Lemmy is a part of the fediverse. That all is to say that you should only need a single account on a single Lemmy instance (just pick one that you like the vibes of) and you’ll be good to go. For example I come come from lemmy.sdf.org but I’m able to post over here outside of that instance and subscribe to kbin communities.
Going back to the email analogy, it’s like how users on Gmail can chat with users on outlook and with users on other email providers without any issues - they all work together (mostly) seamlessly!
My favorite book that I read in one sitting (though not hard to do because it’s so short) is The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman… made me cry with its beauty!
I hate that they have to ask that too, but my understanding is the legal reasoning is to try and weed out money launderers or some shit like that.
As an aside, let me just encourage everyone here to use credit unions. I needed a very small loan once, only $500, to send to a sibling in another state who had lost his job and just needed short-term help. They wouldn’t approve the $500, but I was told they would approve $4000, which infuriated me as it was clearly a predatory tactic.
So I switched to a CU. My CU even taught me how to avoid overdraft fees in case I ever make a mistake. (Keep a line of credit open, that way if I accidentally overdraft the money would come from that and no fees.) I love banking with them.
Also, I actually make interest money with my credit union savings account. A few bucks a month isn't a ton, but it's a few bucks a month more than I ever got from Wells Fargo.
I have my investments spread a bit between oil, crypto, and VTI (an ETF). I’ve been lucky. The oil stock I bought at bargain prices in March 2020 paid off my student loans and my down payment on my condo.
Why would you invest stocks into something that’s destroying the environment of the very planet you, I, the others on reddit and the rest of humanity live on excluding those currently in space

It was a short-term investment. When the airline industry shut down, oil bottomed out, but I knew it was only a matter of time before COVID subsided and air travel came back, and when it did, I made a profit selling those stocks.
I’d also add that, if I had any real power to reverse climate change, I would. The people in my country are powerless to create real change because American corporations are the biggest polluters, and they also own all of our legislators.

Journa.host was intended as an instances for journalists. I was able to track news by following both its local feed and following some of the members posting on it.
For the time being I’ve just been using the filter and only displaying .world communities for easy subbing, it does say it should be possible for other instances but I’ve been running into issues finding them with the method provided
Also it feels kind of significant that they finally dropped the word socialist on screen to describe the Federation? They've always danced around it before, but I'm glad they finally made it explicit, even in an off hand way. It helps make the Federation feel less "magical" and more like something that people who existed in history, connected to both the past and the future, had to actually build
I really really like Pelia as a character and a concept. I think its a very smart approach to immortality to have her be someone both used to and unresistant to change. The world happens. Time moves on. Over centuries kingdoms turn into empires turn into wastelands turn into spacefaring cooperatives and she's not jaded nor stagnant, she just continues to grow and adapt and change as things change around her.
I do love also how she's not some wisened genius race. She's just old. Like maybe her people were space faring at some point in time, but given how long they live getting fast high end tech isnt necessary so they probably werent as advanced as most species we encounter in star trek.
But also even if they were it's been a long time since they used their tech and even if they remember it it's not like she would know how to build it. Like I know how to drive a car, and can do some basic mechanic work, and I know the broad strokes of how an internal combustion engine works. If someone asked me to build them a car they'd be out of luck.
There are a lot of ifs in what I’m about to say, but IF you were using Apollo to browse Reddit previously, and IF you downloaded the JSON file containing your local data, Wefwef allows you to import that and automatically search for communities with similar names or content to the old subreddits you subscribed to. It’s saved this Reddit refugee a lot of time in feeling comfortable here.
Damn I used IRC a lot 20 years ago but mostly for the lols and getting laid. I even met my wife on IRC and we celebrated our 8 years wedding anniversary a month ago.
But I didn’t knew you can find ebooks, that is great thanks a lot for saving this guide. I guess it’s time to reinstall an IRC client.
