It depends if you really want to send all your text to a third party. Feels like a privacy nightmare waiting to happen to me.

I agree, I wouldn’t use the always on feature, would just be for a specific project.

Rub some vegetable oil on it or let it sit in a shallow plate of the oil for a few minutes. Then just clean it all off with dish soap.

I normally just put it in the dishwasher alongside everything else and the heat and the steam do the job.

CIWS-30,

Depending on the dishwasher, that may not be a good idea as the label can clog the dishwasher filter though.

Aceton usually does the trick.

+1 for goo gone/mineral oil, but you can also try a plastic scraper for the majority, then wipe away with either: acetone (nail polish remover), rubbing alcohol/vodka, or even tape itself (masking/packing/duct tape). Good luck 👍🏼

This. I usually do Alcohol let it soak for a while and then wash it with dish soap and a good scrub.

razor blade or other sharp scraping tool works great. Alternatively, you can try something like GooGone, but I have had mixed results there.

Years ago at one job we used to use a combination of a razor scraper and Goof Off and it worked well. It was on pricing stickers on metal painted with enamel, and as long as you didn't dig into it and just worked it loose it would come clean. Goof Off is a harsher chemical than Goo Gone (I think toluene or some mixture) so not the best for long term exposure, but that was then and we had some ventilation. I also think the product sold now like so many might be more diluted and not the original.

Olive oil on the other hand works surprisingly well if it can get to the adhesive.

Soak in soapy water and scrub.

Goo gone might be a more effective solution than dish soap, but it’s going to take effort either way.

Still figuring this out a bit, but this seems like a fun place.

If I knew about the tankies earlier, I would have gone straight to kbin without wasting time trying to sign up for Lemmy.

Do you mind elaborating what tankies is? I'm on kbin as well.

brainandforce,

Tankies are people who claim to be socialists or communists but are actually sympathetic to authoritarians, and in particular are anti-democratic.

I wish I'd known how nice a place this is ages ago! After 10 years I was so institutionalised to the way reddit was, it was really hard to imagine using anything else and having anything like as nice a user experience. So many times over the last few days I've suddenly realised that for hours I've been browsing Kbin and not reddit. It's a nice feeling. Also, now I've replaced all my reddit bookmarks with Kbin ones which makes it feel a lot more permanent.

I didn't know anything. I clicked a random link on reddit tbh. I just been picking away and enjoying it.

I guess the one thing would be what the actual difference between kbin and lemmy is. Other than that, it's pretty straightforward imo.

aeternum,

Two different softwares for accessing the fediverse. Say like, windows and Mac OS are different OS's for doing similar things.

Same, I came here from a link on r/cyberpunkred.

I think post need to be renamed and to keep with the magazines motif we should call them "Inserts".

Nepenthe, (edited )
@Nepenthe@kbin.social avatar

Inserts are those junk ads that always fall out everywhere when you pick a magazine up, right? How about Editorial, since posts/microblogs tend heavily towards being longish personal commentary?

Although Ernest said a few days ago he was thinking of changing the terminology. I don't remember if he said to what, just that he should. Kinda mixed about that. It makes talking about them more confusing both for cross-platform and for new users, but I got used to it now and I fear change

weremacaque,
@weremacaque@kbin.social avatar

I've already started calling magazines "mags" in my head. I think it's fine the way it is, though if they were renamed to "zines" that would be fine too.

kbin just seems so much easier to me

billothekid2, in What is Kbin’s identity?
@billothekid2@kbin.social avatar

I agree that the naming scheme is a bit weird and confusing. In most people's terminology, when you leave any kind of a comment on the internet it's considered a "post". You "post" a comment. I'm kinda hoping this gets changed, but I suppose I might just get used to it. It's all still quite new after all.

It's trying to be one-stop shopping for decentralized social media. There are future plans for integration with Pixelfed and other federated services.
