I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

otter,

Have there been many posts in the past month? I only see one 3 weeks ago, not sure if it’s a federation issue

otter,

Makes sense, I was subscribed from a previous post but I’ll see if the new stuff shows up soon :)

otter,

That sounds greaat

What are your best air fryer/oven recipes?

My parents got me one of them fancy countertop air fryer/oven things and idk what to cook first when I get it set up. According to the box, it does everything a normal oven does as well as air fries. It can hold two whole chickens or 1 frozen pizza. It came with a rack for things like toast and a baking sheet. I also have a...

There’s also this fun short documentary about Jamaican patties in Toronto www.cbc.ca/shortdocs/shorts/patty-vs-patty

otter,

I found this

MS-DOS (FAT) - This is Disk Utility’s name for the FAT32 filesystem.

engadget.com/2011-09-19-mac-101-format-choices-fo…

So I think the advice about the FAT32 issue people mentioned is the issue :)

otter,

Any particular areas of medicine?

Also I haven’t been promoting the communities well enough but we’ve got some on Lemmy that could use more activity. I was planning to get them going more in the new year

!medicine for r/medicine

!medicine for the hub to other stuff

  • !health isn’t listed there yet but will be soon
otter,

People have lots of great tips for why resolutions fail and how to do them better

I heard another similar spin: pick a few areas of your life and have them be better than they are at the start of the year

Like say education or relationships with people, the goal is some kind of improvement by the end. You can go as big or as small within those afterwards.

otter,

Great thing for everyone to keep in mind :)

otter,

Interesting, haven’t heard that before but I’ll keep it in mind :) thanks!

otter,

Oh THAT’S why it was mildly familiar 😄

otter,

Lots of great tips, thank you!

otter,

I think it’s about flying the plane, in the simplest form

Pull the centre stick back and you’ll go up (houses look smaller and smaller), then push for the opposite

otter,

I used sync on Reddit ages ago before switching to Boost. Both are pretty decent, but I prefer Boost here as well

A lot of the animal ones are pretty good, ex. !animalswithjobs

otter,

Sounds fun! You can drop a post on !communitypromo as well :)

otter,

It also works with opening up the info to anyone, not just you. That’s one of the key issues, even if a trusted party is accessing the info there’s a chance that a malicious party can get access too. Or the trusted party becomes malicious later (government changes, company changes hands, etc.)

People generally don’t want everything in their home live streamed 24/7. If anything it has the potential for abuse, like if someone knows when you’ll be out of home for a few hours

otter,

I loved the 3D platformers from back then, including the ones based on whatever movie was out at the time

otter, (edited )

Are these being posted to Mastodon as well?

Edit: Oop just saw the previous one

otter,

If the app needs a server component, a small subscription is justified. If it doesn’t, then a subscription isn’t justified.

If the subscription is optional, and it gets more frequent updates & support, that might be ok too as long as you can choose to just keep the product as is (and the product isn’t riddled with bugs)

otter, (edited )

It’s still helpful to talk about what’s going on elsewhere

  • see what we can do better
  • see what good features are worth adopting here
  • Calling out bad actions by other platforms. We don’t HAVE to help people that aren’t on the Fediverse, but there are a lot of experienced and knowledgeable people on here that can discuss issues and how we can address them
