Rentlar,

Every middle-aged German man is named Thomas. No exceptions.

Rentlar,

In addition to alternative webUI, on mobile you can use apps to have inline image previews in card view mode.

Personally I don’t like new Reddit/ card view but it’s a matter of taste.

Rentlar,

Samir, you are breaking the car!

Listen to my calls, Samir!

Rentlar,

Everyone who helps foster welcoming and positive vibes on this little corner of the Internet deserves an honorable mention.

Rentlar,

Not perfect but Linux is getting there! Certainly much better than before.

If Sony taking something away that you paid for isn’t stealing, then neither is taking something that Sony doesn’t lose.

At highway speeds, tailgating 10 ft behind a 53 ft tractor-trailer will net you about a 39% boost in fuel economy. And further your fuel usage will drop by 100% after the trailer flattens your hood from a sudden stop maneuver!

What hobbies help you minimize or avoid navigating commercialism?

By commercialism, I’m aiming at a mix of spending a lot and sifting through bloated business models (e.g. this or that accessory/equipment, microtransactions, etc.). Feel like many can relate to this sort of commercial fatigue, and yet it creeps even into hobbies where one tries to unwind....

Rentlar,

Learn a new language using Language Transfer method!

Pay what you want, but the lessons are very well done and quite different than your textbook (no writing anything down at all). The teacher doesn’t push you to donate at all but I tell you it’s absolutely valuable and worth it.

Rentlar,

8 ± 2 for your sake then.

I’ll just tell you about Japan… they will have “outside of business hours” ATM fees just because. Link to website

With the Postal Bank it is possible to carry around your passbook in place of your debit bank card to access your account. Even from an ATM that automatically records transactions in there which is kind of retro yet cool.

Edit: added link

Rentlar,

Fuck, I feel this so hard…

“I’m going to get a bunch of chores done so I can try this new game out without guilt of procrastination. Or maybe try out a hobby.”

One set of chores later…

“Yawn. I’m out of energy to start something new.”

Rentlar,

Not since July this year. I do remember looking at reposts with disdain when I was there, though.

Rentlar, (edited )

You reminded me of the main reason why I didn’t like Reddit reposts (it’s been a while). Just as bad were the other bots that took top comments from the earlier posts and put them in verbatim in the repost.

Rentlar,

Meme hoarders in preparation for a possible Meme Economy crash and recession?

Rentlar,

I’ll consider it a compliment for all of the Lemmyverse that my meme made you do a double-take of where you were.

Rentlar,

I’ve a solar normal watch. Having to plug it in every week seems annoying to me.

Rentlar,

I usually set up things way differently between Excel stuff for myself and Excel stuff that anyone else is supposed to touch.

Just colour all the untouchable cells dark grey or black bg on black text, or put on a separate sheet entirely.

Rentlar,

At the top of OOP’s roadtrip playlist

Rentlar,

I like how the horizontal axis of the tan graph is theta per rad but there are no scale markings…

Rentlar,

I try my best :)

Rentlar,

www.sixdegreesofwikipedia.com well you can try it with any two pages of your choosing!

Rentlar,

Yep, I’m jaded in my expectations knowing what Lemmy was prior to the massive expansion through June and July…

It was still a fun place, but it was a couple dozen posts a day across all servers, by a handful of people from the bigger servers.

We still have a lot of fixes to make on Lemmy, especially on the moderation, management, and content filtering side of things (though apps have been thankfully filling the gaps on some of these issues). Niche communities still need more participation to get off the ground. I’ll see again where we are in a few months from now.

It’s a (mostly) Japanese Fediverse social media network with a fuckton of cute emoji reactions, static and animated.

Firefish (was Calckey) seems to be based off of this.

Rentlar,

I won’t be lying I’ve seen like 5 reposts of some amd threadripper news in my active feed within 10 pages.

It’s true and one of the pitfalls of the de-centralized model. As a poster I try to crosspost the same link across servers to multiple communities big and small, as a way for people to “discover” niche communities.

I’m in full agreement on how there should be more laid back “chat about something” content. You might interested in having a look at beehaw.org (not federated with LW or SJW), that has !chat and that server might be more your speed, I personally like it a lot. Bee sure to read and follow the spirit of the server rules.
