Honestly I cannot think of any right now because I am so fed up with corporate proprietary crap.

I currently use Libby without a SIM card.

Definitely! All it requires are having a Google Account.

Check out The Odin Project. It is a free full stack developer course. I’m going to give it a try myself.

Ah thank you. I clearly had no idea. 😹

In Lemmy, subreddits are known as communities. You join a community by its name, for example !mycommunity@example. Do a search for that community, click on the search result, and you’ll be given an option to subscribe. Note that the search might come up as 0 results even though you got the community name right. It’s just taking longer to find the community.

I don’t know. Maybe don’t go on here? 🤷‍♂️

Steak as in a Philly Cheesesteak.

Soon whatever options we had for a little bit of privacy will be gone unless stronger encryption measures aren’t quickly created. And it’s not that simple either. Security is hard

Get an advanced education, work harder, never be the one to say, “That is not my job” was the worst advice I could ever receive. I got into debt and was abused and exploited by my employers.

Ah okay. I can respect that.

No need to be vague about mental illness. I am pretty open about mine as I’m bipolar. Mental illness is a no-fault condition and should be neither shameful nor taboo.

She never did anything for me. I dunno why. I am more into the “imperfectly beautiful” look myself - like Hillary Swank and Cheryl Crow. To me, “perfectly beautiful” is smoking hawt!
