I’m definitely around 10 years. I can’t say for sure though as I lurked for the first 3 or 4. I haven’t been to reddit since the final day. I logged out of my account on the final day, and as soon as my brother texted that RIF no longer works I uninstalled it. Haven’t been back since. Lemmy was originally… not disappointing exactly, but not “as good” as reddit, but it’s quickly improved. I like it a lot. It feels like reddit, if reddit was part of the old internet.

Lexx + Starwars Squadrons. That would be so cool.

RIF RIP 😭

Hmmmmm. I’ve not tried Tilde yet. I just went all in on lemmy during the rexodus. I’ll have to check it out.

I’m ever hopeful we might have a Lemmy Is Fun app one day,but there’s been so much chatter about boost I’m excited to try it.

I got a raspberry pi and some wd red drives when Google photos went for a pay model. We use it to back up our phones and pc, and to run jellyfin and torrents. It’s not wildly different from doing things on pc, except it’s set it and forget it. Having something always on, reliable, and “just works” makes it worthwhile.

Potato chips and a big glass of milk.

There’s three ways to do a job. The right way, the wrong way, and the rail way. Also it was the great white north!

OOOOOOOH CAAAAAANADAAAAAA!

We would “file it”. As in file it under “fuck it it’s fine”.

I worked for for the railroad. Nothing is fixed ever. I witnessed hundreds of code violations every day for years. Doesn’t matter if a rail car or locomotive meets code as long as it “can travel” its good to go.

When an employee inspector finds a defective rail car management determines if it will get fixed. If the supervisor “feels” like “it’s not that bad” then the rail car is “let go”.

Of course I know that. And I did die. Just mildly. WooooooOOOOOOOooooooo!

I have been pleasantly surprised the last several days. I was a little disappointed with the content at first (though I did enjoy how it felt like the “old” internet), but now that the apps have rapidly improved (connect is great!), and I’ve started subscribing to some interesting communities I really love it. It’s like a kinder gentler reddit.

As a man who mildy electrocuted himself working on his own house yesterday I must say I’d rather be an influencer.

I bought a little town house 12 years ago. I didn’t really want to. My wife talked me into it. I was worried that I’d never pay it off. With the cost of housing now I couldn’t possibly afford to buy. I have a house, and a nice nest egg for retirement one day. Thanks wife!
