Every once in a while I try to play Dear McCracken and sing through the last part. The way I start ugly crying means I can’t put it on a playlist where I’ll actually pay attention to the song.

I run Ghost on my website (reilaos.com) though I don’t really use it in a “blogging”/journaling style. It’s mostly posts related to writing, computers science, game design.

My eagerness to actually use it will increase once Ghost’s support for ActivityPub spreads to the wider world.

Depends on who’s saying it and to what, and in what manner (message reaction, its own separate text).

“Hey who wants pizza tonight?” in the group text.

Bunch of👍reactions mixed in with some 🍕 and 🕺

That’s normal and people agreeing with you.

“Hey could you pick up some toilet paper on the way home?”

👍 reaction.

That’s a neutral kind of acknowledgement.

“Hey man, that was pretty fucked what you said back at the party. I think the others want to talk to you about it.”

“👍”

That’s rude and dismissive, and not just an acknowledgement text.

Yeah, the attack surface of a locked-up bike is much larger than that of a bike being ridden?

If you don’t want your phone stolen off the bike, a removable bike computer still makes more sense, I think.

Have their usage rates reflected their lack of trust? Unless it has, I doubt companies care.

No; jealousy paints a target on your back. I’d rather people wish well for me and feel that my victories are at least indirectly theirs.

Failing that, I’d want others to be unaware of my existence.

Link Alligator would actually be a fun name

One site forbidding you from directing traffic to another isn’t disrespecting you. If it’s something so groundbreaking that others need to see it, screenshot it and post it. You don’t need to directly link it.

I always sort of read those jokes as illustrative as GLaDOS being a bad person fielding weak material more than like, an earnest expression of the game writer’s values. Like, the game itself doesn’t present the remarks themselves as funny so much as GLaDOS being rude, snippy, and actively incorrect given that Chell is mega-fit.

The one bottle I bought, I’ve had since 2010, I think. I have a few other bottles that I’ve picked up for free (conferences, college housing promo) from ~2012, ~2015, ~2019?

Thanks! Yeah, it looks like it covers T-mobile minus the GHZ/ mmWave bands, which is good for me. A solid consider, especially if they (eventually) drag it over to the states like the Fairphone 5.

Their website doesn’t seem to specify which GSM bands it has (simply “More Bands and Band-Combinations for better reception”). I want to know how much of a given provider’s spectrum I’d be missing out on trying to sneak one of these to the states.

Yes, I do 20USD/mo, I think, because I’ve taken up what I’ve been calling “Secular Tithing” in the last few years, and Wikimedia and its ventures were useful learning and research tools for my undergrad and highschool. Less so during my master’s, but that’s just how that goes.

A good number of those subreddits became breeding grounds for not-so-subtle racist dogwhistling, so I don’t really miss them.

A lot of the others sort of ran through the actually good, viable content before expanding to being less good (/r/YoutubeHaiku basically dropping the ‘unscripted’ requirement and becoming essentially, short-form skits and streamer clips). I tend to follow people with content I like directly on TikTok and Youtube these days. Aggregators of content tend to go either generic or toxic, I find.

Ooh yeah. I wasn’t going to jump through that weird whitelist process to get that twitter blueblocker on Firefox for Android, but not I don’t have to!

Ooh, nice. I hope this means Boost for Lemmy’s release isn’t that far behind!

The instance I wanted to join was Lemmy. That’s pretty much it.

The Pokemon go plus+ (yes it’s two pluses) is a little device, sorta like a flattened PokeBall, rather than a service.

I got put into Youtube Premium when Google Play Music merged, so I think of it as equivalent to Spotify premium, but also: you can also upload your own music library, you get ads removed on Youtube videos, and offline play for both music and videos.

It’s decently worth it if you reference Spotify Premium’s cost (and also I’ve been at 9.99USD/mo this whole time and not been hit with any price increases at all for some reason?)

It’ll happen if Lemmy gets big enough. I only worry about search engines getting tangled in the natural duplication of Lemmy posts.

Like, if a web crawler sees a Beehaw post, and then seees Lemmy.ml’s mirrored page of that same post, could it just show up as two different results? Could it work against the SEO in that it gets marked as “duplicate” or “spam” content in some way?
