Thoughts on pinboard's viability?
Been using Marcin’s beautifully created bookmark manager since yahoo killed delicious. It was yahoo that bought it right? I digress.

What is something that 2020s kids will never get to experience?
If the US was ICBM attacked why do you think they would not sound the civil defense alert on everything as soon as they confirmed our launch?
Why I say confirmed our launch is there have been at least one close call on each side. One I remember the details of one was the USSR Officer in charge, Stanislav Petrov, over-rode the information from the radar and 40 years ago, on 26 September 1983, he saved from potential nuclear disaster....

Is anyone else worried about the apple vision pro?

I've recently turned 20. What highly specific advice you, lemmy users, would offer me?
A lot of people answering this struggle to understand what highly-specific means. I’m looking to, for the sake of experiment, highly-specific advice that gives a reader clear understanding of what they should do. Unlike the vague advice, on the contrary, that may be too abstract to get implementing it right away....
What has been the most awkward moment for you this month?
For those who aren't burdened with chronic or intermittent depression, how does that feel?
