…Kernel patch at age 4. Sigh… What have I done with my life?

No, ignorant takes like yours are the real problem.

Is this Reddit?! (Looks up at title bar in confusion.)

No…well, this is odd.

Oh, there was nothing wrong with the gist of what they said, it was the personal commentary at the beginning that was unneeded. If they had skipped that then their point would have been likely considered more thoughtfully by those reading.

Why do each of my accounts have different subscription lists?

When I joined the fediverse I thought I’d have an easier time moving between lemmy platforms. So far I have to create a new username/password on each instance and subscribe to all the things I want to on that new account. I kinda wish I can carry my lemmy user to other platforms more easily....

Why are you needing to do that? You only need one account on one instance and you can subscribe to all the things you want on every instance (assuming that it hasn’t been defederated for some reason). That way you’ll only have one account with one list of subscribed communities instead of differing ones on different accounts.

Well I mean it’s unclear to me that we’re much worse than previous points in history.

That’s interesting, because to me it’s very clear. After all, small isolated pockets of people ruining their economy and the environment they depend on is quite a bit different from all of humanity everywhere doing this.

That’s an interesting perspective! Care to share some data?

Well, of course the data on what our actions (much of which are due to and based upon capitalism) are doing to are environment and climate, and inevitably must lead to given the implicit but incorrect assumption of infinite resources of that system, is everywhere and basically impossible to ignore these days, isn’t it? And, almost as easy to find is the data on other cultures killing themselves off (in the, at the time, limited scope of their part of the planet) due to their actions, such as Easter Island.

why is there a weird carpeted step in my closet?

I just moved into a new house, and it has a weird step in the bottom of the closet, that is covered in carpet. I’ve seen this before, and it could just be coincidence, but is there possibly a weird architecture or design reason for this, or is it just a quirk?

It’s almost certainly hiding vents or pipes that needed to be routed there. As for the carpeting, somebody no doubt thought it would be cool, or else if for sound dampening.

A Russian commander with an apparent habit of posting his running routes on social media has been shot dead while jogging in the city of Krasnodar.

Excellent OpSec, those Russians have!

@JWBananas @Rentlar @SilentStorms sooo... the follow-up had a very specific point. Many people were getting a residue after trying powder detergent, and I wanted to help with that.

My main issue with detergent pods isn't so much that they're wasteful, per se, but that they cost a lot more for, potentially, worse results.

Many dozens of people continue to tell me that trying powder detergent both saved money and made their dishwasher work better. I stand by that.

TIL the Technology Connections guy is on Lemmy via Mastadon.

And that’s awesome!

WTF, I ain’t watching an hour long video on a stupid fridge! I’ll just watch the first few minutes and see what’s up…

One hour later…

Okay, that was really interesting. I really love this channel.

I was a wee bit surprised (but not really, I guess) when just before the Reddit blackout everyone on Reddit was spamming their relevant Discord links for the relevant subreddit.

I could only think, “That’s no better!!”

We’ll see if that changes.

To add to that, Discord is an entirely different kind of interaction. Fine if that’s what you want, but not fine if you want something a bit more…static.

Zamboniman ,
@Zamboniman@lemmy.ca avatar

Yup, I agree wholeheartedly! It’s just not my thing.

Yeah, for certain kinds of live conversations while involved in a group activity, it works fine. But only for that, in my opinion.

The auto-refreshing front page is very frustrating to use.

Sounds like that’s being fixed soon.

Reddit announced new ad features on Friday (www.redditinc.com)

“We’ve known for over a decade that people come to Reddit to talk about the products they love – take r/BuyItForLife for example, a community of over 1.5 million redditors who have been sharing recommendations and advice about their lifelong, must-have purchases since 2011.

Ugh… That marketing language makes me cringe hard.
