s0q, in Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

The community reddit had was really good. I hope it is replicated here. I wonder is there is a way to transfer some of the reddit data here?

S_204, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

If you are in the woods, permitherin is the best option.

If you are just sitting around the patio, just set up a fan.

ViciousTurducken, in Liftoff. Lemmy app. Do you like the way it works now?

The UI is a little too cluttered and messy for my liking but it’s a solid app! Love FOSS software

YourFavouriteNPC,

FOSS software

I love free and open source software software, too! 😉

Yes i have basically replaced Reddit at this point, other than if google search comes up with something I need.

Dual wield those electric tennis rackets?

If you’re talking about a particular area, using fans can help push mosquitoes away.

If you’re mobile, use DEET on your skin and permethrin on your clothes and your dog’s fur.

Yes, the official Reddit app makes me want to puke.

tarsn,

I hate that thing with a passion. All that energy spent on making those awful snoo avatars and shit. Just disgusting

_haha_oh_wow_, in Do you think there will be a future where your phone can automatically detect if you are trying to record police activity and disables your camera? What do you think the odds of this happening is?
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

This seems like it would probably be trivial to defeat either via legacy tech or simply by removing/disabling the receiver, interrupting the signal itself, hacking the firmware, etc.

Police could try to counter this by using lights (either visible or anything a camera’s sensor can pick up) to blind the cameras, but then people could also start doing stuff like using polarizing filters to minimize this, hiding cameras, or some other more clever method I’m not smart enough to think of.

fidodo,

Doesn’t need to be 100% bullet proof to be highly effective at suppressing accountability though. Yes people will be able to get around it but the benefit of everyone having a phone is that it’s ubiquitous. Everyone has a phone so if there’s anyone in the vicinity of police committing a crime it can be recorded. With all those extra steps you listed, the number of people who will go through the trouble will be a small fraction of the current phone user base now.

_haha_oh_wow_, in How often do you brush your teeth?
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

Usually 2x a day, when I get up and when I go to bed.

PostingInPublic, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

Easy, make a gene drive for a recessive gene that causes infertility, problem solved.

Don’t you want a dominant gene? Anyway, if you want to know more watch: Unnatural Selection, Episode 3. It’s on Netflix and worth a watch, it discusses gene drive in detail.

Doctormurder, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

Imo the easiest option: fly screens everywhere. Especially in bedroom and keep this door closed so they won’t get in (in case they come through other doors)

I no longer have issues with them and if I ever see one, I just use my electric fly swatter. I also can’t sleep when there’s one in the room.

Fly screens are totally worth it. Self made might be cheaper, but I’m not cerrain since I didn’t do them myself.

zerbey, in How often do you brush your teeth?

Twice a day, and if I need to freshen up.

valdemar, in How often do you brush your teeth?

I only ever brush before going to bed, never in the mornings.

I probably started doing this around 6-8 years ago, and have had no problems at my annual check-ups.

Genuinely feel for people who have to spend time in enclosed spaces with you.

Congratulations for winning the genetic lottery with the robustness of your teeth, but brushing is also about hygiene. Body odour isn’t physically bad for you, but it is for everyone who has to be near you. Same with your breath.

Thorry84, (edited )

Dude your breath probably smells and people are too polite to tell you.

On your tongue there are a lot of anaerobic microbes (on everybody’s tongue, it isn’t a hygiene thing, they just live there). When you have your mouth closed for a long time, it creates a oxygen poor environment and these microbes thrive in that. They cause bad breath, so after people sleep or simply have their mouth closed for a while, the breath starts to stink. If you look in a mirror and your tongue has a kinda white or brownish tinge, this is because of the microbes. Everybody should brush their teeth and especially their tongue after sleeping. When looking in a mirror the tongue should be entirely pink and look healthy. Clean the tongue as far back as you can, to prevent bad breath.

If you smoke this isn’t true, your breath will stink no matter what.

So for your teeth it probably won’t matter much not brushing in the mornings, but for your breath it matters a lot.

BrokenToshy, in Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

I just use both. Lemmy for general browsing and Reddit when I want a more specific community that isn’t around yet.

I was never a 3rd party app user really as I just use old.reddit through the browser on my phone so until old.reddit is killed off I’ll probably continue to use both. Once thats gone though I won’t be using Reddit, new UI is truly awful

_haha_oh_wow_, in Is it a good idea to enable "show bot accounts" on lemmy?
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

I haven’t seen any botspam really, just a helpful bot that fixes links to other Lemmy communities.

angstylittlecatboy, in How often do you brush your teeth?

Beginning of the day and after my last meal of the day, plus before I take a nap if I do (they feel funny if I don’t)
