Find me easier to access niche communities and I'll be gone from reddit. I hoped Lemmy would blow up. Instead, reddit just shrank.

Yep, same problem Lemmy has vs reddit. Only the nerdiest tech nerds got on here. Not many communities from reddit or just in general here. For example, I had to go back to reddit for a good sized general anime community. It's that or fucking 4chan, and no thanks on the latter.

To me, Lemmy feels very much a giant technology board with a few memes.

But I will say, the past few days, Bluesky has gotten a lot more interesting.

In a way, it is...

Whatever. I can talk about whatever I want.

I wish they'd bring back Orange Vanilla! Importing the Bleach themed coke that was orange vanilla from Japan was expensive and didn't last long.

I prefer to chew my calories, thanks.

Fun fact: I used to work as a fraud analyst for aajor telecom company. British Indian Ocean territory islands were extremely high fraud destinations for telecom fraud. I always assumed the people there were basically making ends meet through fraud. (Usually hacking corporate PBX systems and directing phone traffic to premium rate service lines there) But I think it's more likely that the phone companies there aren't so much committing the fraud, but facilitate it with their PRS lines where they surely keep some of the revenue generated.

Have you? The monster designs, some of them are straight up copycats and pallette swaps and such. Others are basically that "ok copy my homework, but don't make it identical so we don't get in trouble.". It is absolutely pushing the limits. To say you do not see that is willful. It has to be.

That's who I am!

Absolutely. I'm looking at getting Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince soon. I doubt anyone calls it a Pokemon copycat, too.

Several for sure. Back in my 20's at parties and punk shows. Nazi punks fuck off!!

 

As the title says, some images load for half a second, then turn into a white "broken image" icon. If you then tell connect to "open external" it opens the image in a web browser, and that works just fine.

It's just the weirdest thing. The image loads, you see it for a split second before it changes. This happens frequently enough to be annoying. I'm not sure if it's just a certain file type or what. Maybe it's webp's?

Here's an example post that is doing it for me: https://lemmy.zip/post/8235310

 
 

To me, it seems objectively easier to pull into a parking space forward and then back out of the space when you are ready to leave. You don't have to line up with the lines while driving backwards, and it's easier to keep from hitting other cars as well. So why back in? To me, the only advantage I can think of is that you can get out quicker, technically.

Edit: I do not need driving instruction, just wondered why. The reasoning.

 

Except /b/ was never good.

 

This is the real energy, you know it.
