Anyone else think it’s cool to just fly solo as a good human, no religion attached?

Religion does not have a monopoly on morality, despite what many preach. Be kind, and believe what you want.

I'm with you. I don't like the default Lemmy UI at all, but it's the most feature-complete as far as I can tell. I was a longtime Apollo user, so while Voyager feels similar at first glance it's mostly skin-deep. Kbin really does a great job with the look and feel, but there are a lot of frustrating bugs. I believe the dev has Been Going Through Some Shit (per his posts in kbinMeta) and I do not begrudge him taking care of personal life before a side project that blew up over the summer. So the result is that I mostly browse with kbin and switch to Lemmy if I need to do more than a text reply.

Hello fellow kbin enjoyer! In case you were unaware, in-line kbin images only show in kbin for some reason. Kinda like how we get links in place of in-line Lemmy images, except Lemmy users don't even see the links (at least not in the default mobile web UI or Voyager app). To get around it, I will either copy and paste the image URL in a comment edit, or just make the reply from a Lemmy account.

Now I'm wondering if the desktop interfaces work differently.

e: in case anyone is curious about the differences:

This is about as coherent an argument as you're gonna find on the topic.

Me: watches TNG episode

Risa: memes that exact episode

It is a wrong answer. This is obviously a normal scale six string upright bass.

Me, upon seeing the response: Hahahaha! Man that was fast. Dude always has the perfect reply ready.

5 minutes later: tries to squint through Klingon makeup 🤔

One trip to IMDB and Memory Alpha later: ...holy shit.

The next day: I should post a reply.

Now: We're in now now.

If I'm tied to a train track any potential fart risks coming with a little extra mustard on it.

Me, before clicking the link (because kbin doesn't handle inline thumbnails well): If that's the entry for "twelve cloaking warbirds" I swear...

Also that ‘less readable font’ is called OpenDyslexic which was specifically designed to be readable to people with Dyslexia.

Neat, TIL. To my eyes, it looks like the font was rendered at a specific point size and then scaled up unevenly, like on an old LCD screen with a mismatched resolution. I found myself trying to zoom in to clear it up. If others find it more readable, that's awesome.

As for thematics, Dinos and comics started off with a heavy slant on neurodivergency (and navigating it) in general, ADHD included. Later ones skewed heavily towards "I am happy with my partner" type stuff. Which is cute and all, but doesn't hit the same.

These are like dinosanscomics except with a less readable font. So much like it that the format/theme seems lifted entirely. 😕

You know what worked for me? Getting passably good at singing the Bowie parts. It's like the parts that want to get stuck are in opposition with the Bowie parts and there's some mental tussling then suddenly the song is over and you're free.

It also works well at confusing the shit out of people at parties who all want to sing along yet seemingly never got the memo that the song is a duet.

Im sure that there are other lifeforms in some other system just not the flying sorcerer type.

Ugh, I hope you're right. Flying aliens would be bad enough. But if the bastards can muticlass and use magic as well... we'd be doomed.

Goals require long term work, commitment, and developing new habits.

This is why I'm doomed.

I am in Edo Japan surrounded by samurai and Amanto. Everyone is calling me Madao and, well... they're not wrong.

Thank you for this. I found the lack of Post in the post disturbing.
