Disappointingly, a lot of good webcomics use Instagram or Twitter and don’t have RSS access.

Fortunately there are still plenty of good ones

How long till the 2 typos come together to make “worm retards”

It’s the Sun. No one should use their site. They’re doing you a favour by showing you they’re assholes the second you land on their site.

Brave search 🤙

Edit: I forgot that Lemmy hates Brave and doesn’t want anyone to use it. Be warned, there are some concerns people have about the organisation.

Do you have friends from different socioeconomic backgrounds?

No. Most people I come across scoially are through education, job and family/friends; and all these places have a preselected population in a broadly similar socioeconomic class. Some friends started from a lower socioeconomic position and moved up, but are now in a comparable position to me.

do you wish you did

Yes. I wish society as a who wasn’t so stratified. I wish everyone had opportunities and the experiences of people from different social classes wasn’t so alien and unrelatable (which would be the case if there were equity in society). I’ve known people from different socioeconomic groups and their company and experience has enriched my life…but an ongoing friendship hasn’t been maintained somehow.

how do you think it would influence your perspective?

I’d like to think I keep a pretty broad perspective even now. I do see and support very different people’s personal lives in my work. I would really wish to have everyone on equal fitting as mentioned above.

Where does such a culture exist?

If we keep using the current version and it never gets any updates, will it keep running the whole Switch game library.

I mostly cut out the live news cycle from my life. There’s really no benefit in keeping up with the immediacy of the live news cycle.

I still have the guardian news app just for the breaking news alerts in case of something major. The only reason I use this is that they tend to send the least number of bullshit notifications (e.g. no shit about British royal family drama).

I’m finding the news experience is much better when I catch a summary of the news story a few days later when the situation is better understood and developed. I get almost all my news from the TLDR news YouTube channel.

If you are going to use a news site, then I would suggest using it through an RSS reader app. That way the news comes through chronologically. If you do this, you get away from the bullshit prioritisation of stories on news websites.

Lemmy doesn’t have that much content. It is easy to get through relevant content of interest pretty quickly. Then there’s not much point in going back till the next day. I haven’t felt the need to uninstall the app.

The side effects of an amazing technology…but the technology is still amazing. I wouldn’t interpret it as overrated at all.

When something comes along that can be misused so easily, then it takes a conscious effort to avoid misuse. It’s the same with cars, processed foods, or any modern innovation really. Be the change you want to see. Reject social media. Turn off pretty much every phone notification. Have screen free time. Socialise without screens. I’m trying to do all these things. It’s difficult when no one else is interested in following suit and I just get excluded when I’m not on the platforms everyone else uses…but I’m trying to gather a circle of people who are aligned in this way of living.

I’ve heard good things. Would it be easy for friends to pick up quickly?

I never needed to use command line, but I did hone my typing skills on MIRC and ICQ.

That still only solves 75% of your problems. You’ll need to buy an infinite number of books to get to 100%.

Single favourite is hard to pick.

Casual: I agree, Ludo is GOAT.

Invested: Catan… Maybe Scrabble

Dumb fun: Mad magazine game

Preparing food in the shower was good enough for Kramer.

You get the beverage? You see that often?

Aren’t there dedicated communities for political memes? I blocked those for a reason. Why is more and more politics bleeding over to here?

Living is an extremely high demand product and capitalists have realised that they can charge whatever they want for it.
