Helped a guy and reduced landfill waste, all in one move. Time well spent.

Google is fine for most people, but it shouldn’t be the sole backup. If you don’t have (at least) 3 separate instances of a backup, you don’t really have a reliable backup strategy. Preferably an onsite hard backup, an offsite hard backup, and a cloud backup.

That’s the article that convinced me I didn’t want to run a Lemmy instance.

It most likely triple counts users like me. I have a Mastodon, kbin, and Lemmy account, (all under the same username), but those would be counted as 3 Fediverse accounts. I think the metrics to look at are posts and comments.

Not so fun fact: Benadryl™ and similar drugs have been linked to dementia in older patients. I found this out when my doc told me to quit taking it as a sleep aid.

I deleted 16 years worth of my ‘content’ across 6 handles and moved to Lemmy/kbin. When I do go back to check on Reddit, it’s easy to see that many of the better contributors are gone, the quality of comments and posts, as well as the voting on posts, has greatly diminished. Some subs barely have anything in their ‘new’ queues.

“Redditor for 16 years” which is how long ago Digg shat the bed. Reddit has followed in their footsteps.

I’ve used Affinity for many years, I really like it, and for the low one-time price, it’s been a spectacular value. That said, it can no longer even compare to Photoshop given their incredible AI capabilities and some of their other integrated features. In my case, I’ll stick with Affinity because I’m more of a hobbyist, but if I was a graphics professional, I’d most certainly have to use Photoshop.

Old Lemmy is the best thing I’ve seen in a while. I found it last week, and it’s absolutely cured my Reddit cravings.

Previously, it was “now there’s a blue heart when you click!” For some reason, it makes me feel sad watching these people/bots trick other people for a click.

Elon has clearly shown that I can trust him with my finances. I am excited to turn all my personal data and money over to his excellently designed software and highly ethical company. What could go wrong?

Autopilot systems on airplanes make fewer claims about autonomous operation than Tesla. No pilot relies completely on autopilot functionality.

Underrated comment

The “X” stands for Extortion.

I’m sure the ego-less CEOs in large corporations will take kindly to being extorted. (/s)

He fired 1/3 of his entire staff, he probably planned on firing this guy anyway, and had nothing to do with fascism. Although, I’m surprised it didn’t save his job.

You can also see exactly which user downvoted a post, it’s in the log.

Me, too. I used it this morning and it was awesome. Hope they get it back up soon.

This made my day!
