An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.

In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

Food, water and electricity will be provided so the answer isn't just a fuck ton of food+water

I still check facebook somehow (I hate it).

Scrolling the timeline, I noticed that it's 90% ads or promoted posts. This is next level...

Is this only me? Or has FB been like this these days? (PLEASE don't spam "quit FB already" messages.)

I will start:

It was after I saw that it rebranded to "X". Set my acc to private, logged out and deleted it from my phone over the course of a day.

I asked a similar question on Masto months before, and decided that it would be great to do it here.

Any replies welcome, but I’m primarily in search of a new iOS client. I heard Raccoon is similar but last I checked it was Android only.

. . . if that's still in the cards. Do they have better moderation tools than Lemmy? (Or developer[s] willing to create them if they don't already exist?)

I'm looking for any examples that you might have encountered and links to them.

I'm trying to play Rain World with a friend, but steam remote play doesn't seem to be working. I've managed to play online with friends on other games, though I dont thing those would have been using Steam Remote Play. Whenever I right click my friend's steam name and click "invite to play" or whatever its called, it does nothing. I can invite him to watch me play, and watch him play, but the invite to play doesn't work. Clicking his invites also does nothing, regardless of whether the game is open or closed. I have played Rain World with my friend when I was still using windows, and I'm wondering if this is just a linux problem. Has anyone encountered the same problem? Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm having a really specific problem trying to play a game with my friend on fedora linux, and the internet seems to hold no wisdom for me. Can I ask for tech support here, or on the gaming community? I'm used to reddit where posts get deleted for being off topic, and often asking in a specific community is also considered off topic, so I'm trying to NOT have my thing deleted so i can play rain world with my friend.

Reddit is broken. It's potential often derailed. I'm working on what's wrong and why with online raw reply and discussion places like reddit and Beehaw, with this very "Body" section, where the OP can expand their reason for posting & pinned to the top, one such correction.

Other issues include what I call "Clutter", like spelling, minor details & and grammar corrections, which should be temporary and separate, so we improve our writing without ego or disruption to the main experience. You want to keep the young from becoming online brats like we all succumb to? Make a better system.

So what's a good sub to start such discussions?

I'm making a necklace from silver wire and a decently sized green agate. It's for my lovely sister. There will be a tree from the silver wire going over the stone, it's a pattern you see around sometimes.

37
 
 

practical examples of this, if you're curious, include the Tūtohu Whakatupua (which declared the Whanganui River and tributaries as a legal entity), the agreement around Mount Taranaki (which grants it legal personhood), and the invalidated Lake Erie Bill of Rights (passed by Toledo, OH and was designed to allow residents to bring lawsuits on behalf of Lake Erie to protect it)

Or anything else you'd like to share about cptsd!

Because of how liberal their market is?

I think they're well informed and appreciate beauty. What do you think?

Hope nobody minds the generalizing BTW!

Friendly jokes be welcome. Consider adding /s as some people have difficulty with sarcasm.

I've had a few throughout mine, but nothing beats Monty Python's "Always look on the bright side of life". It always puts a smile on my face.

Life is cruel and will beat you down, but it can never be able to stop you from getting back up as a stronger person. For me, anyways.

What say you?

I am the founder of a community that, I believe, is unique on the Internet. Probably, because it is a niche subject area within the academic field of humanities.

It is a forum where the general public may pose questions to a panel (roughly 200) of academic biblical scholars from around the world.

Recently, we have been developing AskBibleScholars.com in order to reach a broader audience (off-Reddit and into the wider Internet).

We do not have much knowledge nor experience in marketing web sites.

If you have any guidance, then we would be very appreciative.

What do you do (either in your country/culture or as a tradition with your family/friends) to celebrate or mark this time of year?

46
 
 

It's night and it's dark, so no lights which means no books. No wifi or PC. Gotta save phone battery so no phone. Also it's so damn hot I think I'm gonna melt.

Here in WA state, the minimum wage per hour is $15.74 (higher in some areas). Tipping culture says 20%, but that's generally to support lower paid waitstaff in areas that can pay less than minimum wage by employers. Where/What are you tipping and what kind of service would you expect for a 20% tip?

Halloween is easily one of my favorite holidays and the costuming is no small aspect of that to me.

I know for some, costuming is a lot of fun and so a costume is chosen very carefully, and for others costuming is an obligation and not much thought is put into it. But even if you don't care much about the costume, sometimes a lot of thought is still put into make the costume as convenient as possible.

So I would like to ask what you are going as for Halloween this year, and your reasons for it

Basically the title. I've been thinking of checking out Mastodon, and I'd like to get opinions on which instances are great. I'm mostly just looking for something like Beehaw. That is to say, a chill and friendly place that's at least decently active.

Thanks. ~~As a bribe for your participation, please enjoy this close-up photo of a deer that walked past the window at work today.~~ NVM, the picture won't upload. Please imagine a cute deer in your mind instead.
