Hard to find something depressing with no experience.
What is depressing is that tens of millions JUMP on the platform, knowing already that Meta is evil and not caring.
The human race is digging it’s own grave, and the handful that know better will just get pulled down.
When Lemmy.ml gives you infinite loading times to open this post…
I haven’t bean paying attention.
Some of the jokes were nice - with the best laughs coming from the replies and the bad puns.
So you’ve all see videos from the likes of Emkay and Updoot Studios or the like right?
No. Never.
Americans really can’t be this stupid. Not all of them anyway!
Watching this dumb bint on Tiktok - ‘I should have done THIS, Did I do THIS? - No I didn’t, and why didn’t I do THIS? It’s because I’m dumber than your pet turtle!’.
Does anyone actually believe this shite? Is it not remotely possible that she just made up a dumb story to help her make pocket money on Tiktok?
This is crazy - for sure, in many countries it can be taken straight from the tap depending on the reliability of infrastructure… but to waste energy boiling it??? No thanks.
In England, I moved a few times - some places have great tasting water - others not so great - meaning it’s always safe (and ok for brewing or cooking) but not so good for drinking from the tap.
In Scotland (a couple of places I stayed and worked) it’s a toss up whether you should drink the tapwater, or go to your local and take another dram from the top row… those Single Malt Whiskeys made with water from Scotland are amazing… but both are safe in moderation.
In Bangkok, if I don’t clean my shower out monthly, it ends up with brown gunge building up, so I certainly don’t drink the stuff… and it’s hard to know how clean it is (though we’re told it’s certainly drinkable at source, it has a long way to come to my house - and the pressure of the system is low… another red flag). Visiting tropical islands, you see some resorts are connected via long plastic pipes which are often on the surface (in the sun) and so definitely not the best candidate for anything more than a shower.
In Bangkok too, unless you can test it yourself you shouldn’t drink it - but I fail to see why you’d decide to boil dirty water and drink it, seeing as most countries with inadequate tap water have drinking water.
I wouldn’t use ‘boiled tap water’ to make my pasta either.
I have six large bottles which gets topped up each week, to make sure I have plenty of water to cook and drink with… If I didn’t, then I’d invest in a good water filtration system.
'Coz you gonna lose your teeth eitherway.
Methinks you have been so busy trying to fight that you didn’t realise that nobody else is fighting.
However, there’s a slight issue with ‘still being connected to the wider internet’ as I don’t see results for Lemmy content appearing in my searches the way Reddit content comes up.
So it feels rather like a sci-fi movie when you’ve had too many mushrooms - kind of bright, but a bit confused…
However, it does help focus that idea that - if we are going to have interesting discussions and create information which is archived - it shouldn’t be inside Reddit, and it should be accessible by search.
So Lemmy is half way there…
Maybe try looking away from the screen, out of the window.
They should just build factories to produce machines that can make hotdogs, wheat, oats, rice…
Then to start with, have these machines in all supermarkets producing food locally.
Eventually, every household should have it’s own programmable machine.
That’s interesting. I picked up memebership in both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world (same username) after trying Beehaw and finding that I was met with an endless circle of progress when submitting…
I actually added a custom search engine to Firefox… so I can search something on Lemmy. I have the keyword ‘LW’ for Lemmy.World search right now (because Lemmy.ml was offline a while).
Basically, do the Lemmy search (search term ssss) then edit/replace ssss > %s and copy the entire link.
https://lemmy.world/search/q/%s/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1
Then using ‘add custom search engine’ extension on Firefox, you add it.
Haha yes, I have to stay out of arguments involving Snap vs Flatpak for this reason. I ended up leaving Mint through issues with my HTPC install - with Plex, the ‘Home Theater’ app died it’s death, and options were tough to install - so I went for Arch, failed to get that working well, then tested KDE with Manjaro - bingo!
Until a couple of months ago, I was installing PlexHTPC via AUR which unpacked the snap and installed it - that’s so awesome… though now it’s dead so I had to jump onto the newly opened Flatpak option (AUR stuck at 1.30.1-1 whilst Flathub is up to 1.39.2).
After the PPA nightmares I had with 'buntu, and later with Mint (PPA’s made for 'buntu often don’t work) it’s like a dream.
That’s very negative, however I must concur that it’s a fact the correlative conjunctions were incorrectly placed to negate the possibilities.
Whether that fact is true or not is up to you.
