serennis, in Do you have a mantra that keeps you going through tough times?

Don’t worry about things you can’t change.

klemptor, in What's your weird physical habit?

I smell everything. Dog’s noggin, the insides of books, my morning cup of tea. Everything gets a healthy whiff.

When I’m in the shower, I purse my lips and blow directly against the water coming down because it makes a nice sound.

When I’m reading, I rub the edges of the page I’m currently on super tightly between my thumb and index finger because I like the sound and the feeling. I also rub the tops of my nails when I’m wearing nail polish for the same reason.

GenesisJones, in What's your weird physical habit?

Oh man, I recently found out not everyone wipes 💩 the way I do and I’m convinced everyone else is crazy. They gotta be walking around with dooty cheeks all day.

Also, I constantly flick my big toes against my second toe making a small raspy snap whenever I’m barefoot and sitting.

How do you wipe?

bingbong,

Brillo pad

Gimpydude,

I want to know too, but also I really don’t.

OceanSoap, in What's your weird physical habit?

When I’m lying in bed on my side, I move my feet against each other in little circular motions, like a figure 8, so that my heels and the big toe move around the arch.

I have no idea when it started and never realized I was doing it until my ex pointed it out to me one night in bed.

thegreatgarbo,

Oh My God. I do the same thing when I’m cozy in bed falling asleep! It’s so comforting!

TheDoctorDonna,

Are we making biscuits? I do it too lol.

ShadowCatEXE, in What's your weird physical habit?
@ShadowCatEXE@lemmy.world avatar

When doing dishes, I tap silverware on the edge of the sink to remove any water before putting it into drying rack. Absolutely useless, but for some reason I do it.

CyberTaco, in How can a naturally anxious person keep from worrying while laid up in bed with a broken ankle and leg?

Distractions. Keep your laptop handy. Not a gamer? Now’s a fantastic time to start. :-)

My laptop is at my house right now. As is my PS5 and my Switch. My parents said they can bring all of that over at some point, but they’ve been very busy prepping their house for after my surgery. I figured I’d give them the list of things I’d like from my house once they’re not as busy. I’ve been playing Stardew Valley on my phone and it occupied me for like 4 days, but I am kinda burnt out now and need a break lol.

ValiantDust,

When I can’t stop worrying, especially at night in bed, I like to put on an audiobook. It keeps my mind distracted without being exhausting in another way. Maybe that’s something you could try? I’m sure there’s some service where you can get a trial month or trial audiobook if money is a concern right now.

ETA: And your phone should probably be sufficient for that.

There’s a YouTuber I like that does vids that are basically podcasts. I am incredibly behind on his content… I could get caught up on that.

ValiantDust,

Sounds like a great idea! I hope you get well soon and your worries turn out to be unwarranted.

Thank you!

It Lives - Roddy Piper discovers some special glasses that reveal one evil alien hiding among the populace. He has a 20-minute fight with Keith David over who gets to kill the alien. They kill it and then the movie ends.

Dienervent, in Fellow Lemmings, how to create Social Media that does not have mods?

Fully decentralized, no censorship at the core of the system.

You pay a moderator to send you a filtered feed that filters out illegal content.

Then you upvote/downvote what you like and don't like. A local system looks at what other people upvoted and downvoted. People who upvoted/downvoted like you gain credibility people who upvoted/downvoted opposite you gain negative credibility. Then you get shown the content with the most credibility. And a little like pagerank, the credibility propagates, so people upvoted by others with high credibility will also have high credibility.

So, anyone can post anything to any subforum.

But in principle if you upvote/downvote posts based on whether they are appropriate to that subforum, then you'll only see posts that are appropriate for every subforum, because other users who upvote/downvote like you will also downvote off topic posts.

So you end up with the internet you vote for. If you downvote everyone that disagrees with you, you'll be in an echochamber. If you upvote does who disagree with you while making a good faith effort to bring up solid points, and you'll find yourself in an internet full of interesting and varied viewpoints.

You could also create different profile depending on what mood you're in.

Maybe you feel like reading meme so you use your memes profile where you only upvote funny memes and downvote everything else.

Or you're more feeling like serious discussions and you don't want to see meme so you use your serious discussions profile.

DmMacniel, in Fellow Lemmings, how to create Social Media that does not have mods?

just having a voting mechanism, might be gamed by unsavory charcters or groups to game such a system, unless voting requires your clear name id, which comes with other issues of course.

Why? I thought you were an anarch? Why do you fear that something could be exploited? Why the gatekeeping, when all users should be monarchs?

Communities work because there are members that take care about them, and foster them. If there aren’t then everything will collapse because not everyone shares the same value and even outright disrupt or destroy those communities.

anarch

this isn’t a political post, I am asking a technical question. I just stated where I’m coming from to be honest and upfront with everybody.

DmMacniel,

An anarch is the same thing as an arnarchist though or someone who follows anarchism.

BigBlackCockroach,
@BigBlackCockroach@lemmy.world avatar

sure! but i am not posting this for politcal reasons, I only mentioned this to open and honest about my motivations. This post is asking a technical question however

DmMacniel,

Then just open a lemmy/mastodon/pixelfed/peertube instance, bury your admin account, and don’t accept any moderators. Easy.

AdrianTheFrog, in hey - trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, what are your recommended extensions and/or quality of life addins, etc?
@AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world avatar

Are there any tab group extensions that do it similarly to chrome, with collapsible groups in the tab bar?

Hillock,

I don't know how Chrome does it but there is Tree Style Tab that let's you group tabs and collapse them.

AdrianTheFrog,
@AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world avatar

Chrome does it like this: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/5ee7ac31-43bc-460a-b1ad-5400db7b41d2.png

It lets you join tabs into a group, where you can add tabs to the group, remove tabs, and expand and collapse groups all in the regular tab bar without any other menus.

elint,

I prefer Sidebery to Tree Style Tab. I’ve used both quite a bit, but I really like Sidebery’s snapshot option to save and reload snapshots of your session, either manually or on a schedule.

registrert, in How do you like to sort your Lemmy feed?
@registrert@lemmy.sambands.net avatar

I start at top of day, then 12 hrs, then 6 hrs, then 1 hr and then new. All, not subscribed, of course. It helps that I’m on a small instance where basically everything is interesting and it’s not flooded with posts.

PatFussy, in How do you like to sort your Lemmy feed?

If its all then i do top: 6hr but i sort individual communities as new

pewgar_seemsimandroid, in How do you like to sort your Lemmy feed?
