I’m an instance admin and see heaps of the same stuff being posted. Pretty sure it’s one lonely troll not lots of people. Even in this thread, it’s all one user account not lots of different people, but we see the same stuff posted across lots of brand new accounts in a very similar way.

I have spent a lot of time around a lot of IT workers and I am literally the only person I’ve ever seen on a project that has an ad blocker installed in their browser.

Do they carry the umbrella around full of water dripping down when it’s sunny?

It’s only beginning, it has nowhere near the features of RES, and mainly it helps with issues related to lemmy federation. But if there’s something you want, the dev is pretty open to new feature suggestions.

Lemmy Instance Assistant It does things like if someone links a post and the link takes you to the post on another instance, it adds a button to show the post on your home instance. You can also right click on a page (say, an article on a news site) or image and choose the option to share it on lemmy, which creates a new post. It also has stuff to help you when you click a link to a community but the community is not federated to your server, or you can go to the list of communities on another instance and it will have links to take you to that community on your home instance. That sort of thing. Basically the beginnings of a RES for lemmy.

I also like Dictionary Anywhere, which lets you double click on a word to get a definition, a bit like the one Google one for Chrome.

There are also various container extensions such as a Facebook or Google one, that isolates those sites to attempt to prevent that activity being associated with your activity on other sites. It can be a little annoying to get used to but I use them. The annoying thing is that when you click say a google site from a search result on duckduckgo, it closes the duckduckgo tab and opens the site in a google container, but then you can’t click back to go back to the search results.

The general container tabs extension is good too. It keeps separate cookies per container. So say if you have 3 different microsoft accounts, you can create different containers. Then you can open a new tab in a specific container and it will remember the account you logged into last time in that specific container, but doesn’t affect other containers or tabs not in a container.

When you get the paycheck you’ll feel like it was all worth it.

I guess I just don’t find it hard to chop things with a knife, which is very easy to clean. I have a food processor, but getting it out of the cupboard takes almost as much time as dicing an onion with a knife.

I don’t really use my TV, but spend a lot of time watching TV lying down. I turn my phone so it’s facing the right way for me to see, though I get it would be a lot harder to get the cat to hold it upright.

You can turn the whole phone? You don’t have to watch the landscape video in portrait.

The dude is lying down but the phone is not on the same angle, so he’s watching it sideways?

50? 50! I can’t imagine that large boulder the size of a small boulder is the same size as 50 of these?

My issue with food processors is they take more time to clean than they save.

Which one do you use?

Welcome to pretty much every public surface.

Now let me tell you how many of the guys at your business meeting today washed their hands between their last toilet use and shaking your hand.

Dave, to memes in I have an answer, but I'm not sure I am allowed to say it on TV
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

If you follow their link, you’ll see the original had the issue they describe. The one posted here seems to have been (further) photoshopped to solve the issue of the original.

Dave, to science_memes in How many?
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

Is it wrong? I’ll do some complex math, so feel free to ask follow up questions.
