There is a hole if you look close enough…

Macncheese isn’t a big thing in other countries. Now cheesy potatoes with raisins!

I could sure use the money…

Caught covid in line at the gas station for a lottery ticket :(

Oh man do I have news for you…

As an introvert I’d rather not use self checkouts. The possibility that something will go wrong and I’ll have to call someone over and explain it and have them fix it is much higher than letting someone qualified scan and bag my shit while I stand there silently waiting to pay as both the cashier and myself refuse to talk or make eye contact.

Plus I worked at a walmart for a year as right as they rolled out their mostly self checkout system. So many people lost jobs and the store lost so much money to shrinkage (theft). It’s the dumbest fucking thing. Makes perfect sense to have a few for people with only a handful of items but the vast majority should be cashiers.

This meme was brought to us by big self checkout and makes no sense at all IMO.

They said the same thong about ssds for mass storage. Granted this tech is dramatically different. But we went from coffee table sized laser disks in the 90s to psp disc’s in the 2000s. That’s like a 1:100 size reduction and at a 1000 x data storage rate. Who knows what the future stores.

I check out reddit every few days and tbh lemmy has the same amount of mainstream content. The only difference is that reddit niche subs are more active.

I think the fact that anyone can make the same community on a new instance diminishes niche communities more. If I pick a game on reddit ill find 2 or so instances with lots of use. On lemmy there will be 10 communities all mostly abandoned.

You can feel a difference on reddit though. Quality content and content numbers are greatly reduced from even a month ago.

I pay 150 a month for 20/10mbps (actual is more like 10/5) with a 1.5tb cap. I would stab a baby to get yours.

As someone who doesnt use twitter… yes this was totally worth it!

This is where I am at. Got a phone survey from comcast. Gave them 1 star on every category except how likely am I to continue to use comcast at which point I gave them a 10… because it’s a monopoly and it’s literally the only ISP in my area. I pay 150 dollars for 10mb/5mb service with a 3tb cap. If I go two blocks in any direction I can get 100mb/50mb for 40 bucks with no data cap. Even the exact same plan from comcast 2 blocks away is half the price with 8 times the speed and no cap.

Nice. It was inevitable. A general lemmy instance needs to protect itself.

and then those same people who want it banned close their curtains and start watching it.

The first time one of these lemmy servers gets hit with official court papers thing will no doubt change. A big part of the operation budget (well maybe not so big of a percentage but big as in price) is to hire a legal team to handle stuff like this and juggle international laws.

I imagine a few lemmy instances will be killed by things like this.

It appears that it is getting close to a full release for Sync for Lemmy. My only concert is that it might go to a subscription only method of payment. I’d rather pay a lot for a one time unlock or even like a 2 year unlock instead of a monthly subscription.

Im getting subscription burnout and I’m sick of having to juggle literally a hundred subscriptions every month. If it does go subscription based, sadly I’ll probably pass on it. Which would be a sad close to a long history of using sync.

Why do we keep getting rid of gray space…

You are now immune so fight them back! Lots of?biting and clawing until they accept you as their leader.

Lets make one but populate it with bots that only repost bs from the other one… (That’s my lemme experience in a nutshell)

Normally when I buy a burger somewhere I eat the lettus, tomato and pickled individually and throw the onion away. Then eat the burger. But it makes more of a statement to just say they all should go in the trash! :)

Even with the tongue… or just the bid and X cause I’ve seen hundreds of the bird with X eye but not any other ones with the tongue sticking out.
