how are some people still hypnotized to believe this man is a genius? GOD i will forever resent the media for glazing this man for 15 yrs and convincing the public that he's anything more than a trust fund baby who could by companies and play pretend.

that's what I am trying to figure out. They can sue him, they can declare what he is doing is illegal, but then what? Is the secret service or FBI going to get involved? Who is going to enforce this?

Have the communities been defederated?

I don't know if it's just about reddit partnering with Google. It's undeniable that years and years of enthusiasts having niche but public conversations about all manner of things makes it a gold mine for any search engine. People organically were adding "reddit" to their searches for years to find these conversations, way before it was a mechanism of avoiding garbage AI and SEO slop.

I still use reddit for this very reason. lemmy is great for me to learn about privacy, FOSS, and decentralization, but I have to use reddit to learn about Vermicomposting, which high quality leather boot I should invest in, and for niche subculture snark.

I've been helping some people bridge their Bluesky to mastodon by telling them that if/when they get pushed out of Bluesky due to enshittification, they will love having a mastodon presence already building. And if people use both, they can at least know there's a back up of all their posts (great if you know any comedians or political advocates who are upset when they lose jokes/posts after being harassed and banned).

Yeah. Is that just due to the small size of the user base, or does reddit hide posts you've already seen?

I would love a way of minimizing comments as you read them like on Reddit. It would make avoiding a long string of comments deviating from the topic much easier

I'm using the Sync mobile app. I should try another one just to see what's out there. Are you aware of any third party apps that can be used on desktop?

Counterpoint: There still is too little activity within communities that aren't tech related for me to say that it's the perfect size. I think we still need a good number of non-tech focused users here. Also, the jokes are stale, but reddit has that issue too.

I like this. I hope it starts conversations. Does anyone know if there are good alternatives to Discord?

If I am the average computer user with very little literacy when it comes to operating software, how do I go about switching from Windows to Linux? Is there a tutorial anyone recommends?

These are beautiful plants. When you water them, how much water comes out from the bottom and how fast does it happen? Ensuring you have good drainage is key for all plants. This one is probably just in need of brighter light to keep its pretty colors. It may start to look kind of weird until next warm season. I had one and it didn't make it through the winter inside. Maybe a light will help.

 

Usually the fall is mild but we've already gotten a few nights of frost. Brought in my outside plants in a hurry but now I need to do some prep for the lower light and colder conditions.

Although I do have some plant lights and just bought some newer ones that will be here soon, I'd love to know what other folks do to prep houseplants for their indoor lives.

 

My zz plant was doing okay. Wasn't growing as quickly as other describe despite living outside in a shady but bright part of my deck in NC USA. Should be getting plenty light and is protected from rain. Then this morning I find it like this. Each stem has a soft brown spot at the base and has fallen over. I cut them off and put them in a glass jar of water until I know what to do with the cuttings. I quickly checked the roots and everything looks and smells normal so I put it back in the soil.

The soil is a cactus mix with extra perlite added for drainage. So what could have caused this sudden change? And what is the best way to propagete zz plant cuttings? I have 4 or 5 so I think I may experiment with water propagtion and perlite propagation.

 

I've been keeping plants for about 5 years and have not bought any meters to track and test light, moisture, temp, ph, and all that. Are these a necessity? I am starting to think that I need these tools to ever get some of my pants to thrive in my dark home which gets pretty cold in the winter. What do y'all think?

 

I think I understand why this is bad, but I am not confident in my technical understanding of the mechanics here. Will appreciate an explainer :)

looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don't run a complaint browser ( cough...firefox )

here is an article in hacker news since i'm sure they can explain this to you better than i.

and also some github docs

Your breakfasts are so healthy compared to the American breakfast. The fish looks delicious!

 
 

This is a simple game but it's challenging! If you are thinking about starting a worm bin but you're not sure if you understand the guidelines, maybe this game can help. I've been maintaining a bin for about 8 months but I keep losing at this game pretty quickly lol

 

I am planning on killing my lawn and filling the area with raised beds with gravel in between the beds. I will be using the sheet mulching strategy to kill the grass. I've used this strategy successfully to prep for my existing beds. My question is this: should I put a layer of anti weed tarp before installing the gravel, or should the sheet mulching do enough to prevent weeds?
