I don’t have many tools (or any children) but if I’m buying a bunch of battery operated stuff, you can be sure it’s all going to be able to use the same batteries and chargers.

I’m sure you’re right and it wouldn’t be an issue, but I’m anal about reducing redundancy and complication wherever I can. If I can have one place to charge everything and don’t have to check what belongs to what, I’ll do it.

What platforms are you on? Anything outside of Mastodon and Lemmy?

I agree on the Twitter-style social media thing. I almost never used Twitter in all the years it existed, so I also don’t really post on Mastodon much. I used Instagram to share photography with friends/family overseas and so Pixelfed could potentially be of value to me, but I understand not using it if you never used Insta in the first place.

As for Lemmy/Reddit, I think the quality of content heavily depends on what your interests are. There’s plenty of good content for certain subjects (e.g. tech stuff) but I find Lemmy is sorely lacking in other areas, and so you tend to lose out on some of the diversity of opinion that made Reddit so good (or at least good to me). That’s largely been my issue with Lemmy overall and I think why I don’t use it as much as I used to use Reddit — a lot of the stuff just isn’t there yet, or if there is a community there might only be like 3 people posting.

Haha, unfortunately I’m not much of a Star Trek fan so I can’t answer that one.

Damn, you’re deep into the fediverse. Thanks for sharing.

Cool, I’ll give that a watch when I get a chance. Thanks for sharing.

I don’t necessarily miss the memes, and a lot of the jokes would get repeated to death because everyone wanted their chance to say them, but I do find some of the Lemmy communities I follow can be kinda self-serious at times. I guess with a larger audience (Reddit), there was just more room for a joke or meme to land without derailing the thread or annoying people.

Ooh, I’d never heard of Elk before. Just checked it out and it’s really nice — might have to make it my web client now. Thank for sharing!

I’ve never been much of a Christmas person. But 2020-2022 were the most Christmasy I’ve ever felt (probably because we were at home and decided to embrace with a tree and roast dinner etc it rather than our usual travelling holiday).

Now that we’re fully back to our old lifestyle, I don’t even notice that it’s Christmas/end of year until someone brings it up.

I lived in the States for five years and I still don’t really get what Americans mean when they say the midwest. I guess that’s partly because Americans also don’t know, so you never get the same explanation twice.

So basically anything that not the extreme east or west or south becomes midweast?
