    As a developer for a Lemmy app, recently I’ve felt Lemmy become more and more fragmented resulting in a poorer than usual user experience. And the base user experience is already poor. I’m mostly just venting but man is the fragmentation annoying to deal with as a developer and as a user. :/








  • Unfortunately I found that to meet new people you need to make an effort… Sometimes a lot of effort. But it is rewarding. I was in the same boat. Moved back to the city I grew up in, 3 years passed, no new friends. So I made an effort to go to different events and meet people in real life. It has helped a bunch. Sure I’m not going to get along with everyone but you only need to get along with at least one person and you’ll be good. If you get along with more then that’s just a bonus at that point.

    It definitely helps if you pick up a hobby or go to meeting with people you share something with. It doesn’t have to be hobby though, it can be a religion, a philosophy, a lifestyle, etc.




  • Thats the thing I don’t get with vacations. I am stressed at work so I take a week off to be stressed somewhere else for a week? Don’t get me wrong, there is so much to love about vacations but I never found vacations to be relaxing just because I feel like I am under time pressure to go out and see and do as much as I possibly can in the limited time at the vacation spot.

    In contrast taking a week off and just staying at home has been far more relaxing.




  • My first day in London (never been to europe before), I used a toilet and I was trying to figure out how to flush. There was a bright red rope next to the toilet so I pulled it and an alarm started going off and I freaked out. Thankfully I saw a button that said something like reset alarm so I hit it quickly.

    In my defense the actual flush button was on the wall behind the toilet. The wall was grey and the button was also the same grey and flush with the wall. I thought it was some kind of panel.
