How is you experience using them ? (I know BlueSky is invite only, but perhaps someone got lucky) I registered in Mastodon recently and i’m getting the same feeling(and problems) when started using lemmy.
I use both and much prefer Mastodon. As others have said, it’s more mature and the apps (of which there are many) are more polished. Bluesky is a bit glitchy and less feature rich. In fact, you still can’t mute phrases on Bluesky, which is a deal breaker for me.
Mastodon is harder to find people due to the federated nature, although some mobile apps such as Megalodon on Android and Ice Cubes on iOS do pull follower and following lists from remote instances which makes it easier to find people.
Bluesky is more like old Twitter, and many people who I’ve followed for years are on there. Trying to out quip each other. Mastodon is more friendly and I’ve found lots of interesting people to follow.
I wonder if it’s too much to hope for 50hz versions. Seem to recall the Britbox episodes were 25hz (at least initially when I had a trial). I find classic Who unwatchable at 25hz sadly. Got to have that smooth video camera motion for the studio scenes!
After growing my beard out for maybe 5-6 years, trimming it myself and generally keeping it looking “reasonable” I thought I’d treat myself and go get it trimmed by a “professional” first thing before a day full of webex meetings....
I realise it’s little consolation, but having not seen the before it looks great. I’ve had a beard for, like 20/30 years and rarely last more than a couple of months before getting annoyed with it, lopping the whole thing off and starting from scratch.
I’ve completely dropped off BF this year, and don’t even have much of an idea of what has been released! Would appreciate a suggestion for what to jump into first. Thinking about the Second Doctor / James McCrimmon box if that’s out yet.
I’m getting a bit older and have mild arthritis and being forced to play games “as developers intended” really grinds my gears. I’m stuck someway through Hollow Knight and doubt I’ll ever go back to it. Some of us are already playing things on hard mode!
Unfortunately I played it on console… Either Switch or Xbox, but I see it’s on sale on Steam at the moment, so maybe I’ll give it a go on PC and can always fall back on some mods if need be. Thanks.
Planning to go to London for a few days and was wondering is it worth spending time seeing Stonehenge. While it is one of the wonders, London is full of activities and got stuck in a limbo… Is it worth it? Thanks!
Someone with more recent experience can probably answer better. But I went a good number of years ago, only because I was driving to Bournemouth and it was ok the way (sort of). It was BUSY and both inspiring and disappointing. Would I go again? Maybe, but probably not at the height of tourist season. Also it’s about 100 miles from London, so it will take a good chunk of your day. I think you’d need to be in London for 5 days to a week to justify the day trip. But, that’s just me!
I was raised with it! Tom was my doc, and Leela my companion. That said, I think I’d struggle with a complete watch. Best I ever did was about 13 years ago I had swine flu and was ill for two weeks, and blasted through all Jon Pertwee. Those first season ones with the 7 episode stories see did drag, but it all picked up when the Master appeared.
I need to try this again. I really wanted to get into it but I bounced off it after about 8-10 hours. I seem to remember feeling it was a bit grindy and dragged in places. I played on PS4 then PS5 and don't recall tweaking the assist mode. Will need to look at that again. I'm getting a bit long in the tooth and have mild arthritis so don't have the dexterity I used to have in my 20s - assist modes are great for this. I wish more developers would include them rather than insisting on one level of difficulty. Some of us already have an in-built hard mode!
Thanks for the in depth comment. It's great and much appreciated. I'll definitely go back to it. Currently about 2/3rds through a playthrough of FF6, so once that's done I'll get back to Cross Code!
I ask because I've been doing a lot of research the last few weeks and Google search has really let me down. I've been finding better results on DuckDuckGo and Bing. Is this a recent thing with Google or am I out of the loop? Any other search recommendations?...
Personally I'm an oat milk man. Primarily because I kept getting confused since Aldi's soya milk (yum) and almond milk (boak) have nearly identical red colour packaging, while the oat is totally different.
But... If I had to do cow juice, it's true blue baby. All the rest is water.
I have been making do without an electric grinder for a while now and I have decided the time has come to get one back on the kitchen work surface. I usually make coffee with my aeropress or chemex, and sometimes grind coarsely for cold brew. I don't have an espresso machine and while I could imagine myself dabbling with the...
I'm an espresso handgrinder sort of person, but I do know that the Ode 2 is pretty well thought of for pour over. If you aren't doing espresso I don't think you can go wrong with it. James Hoffman did a video review on his YouTube channel a few months back.
Using a Kingrinder K4, which I believe shares burrs with the 1zpresso J-Max. Takes probably less than a minute to grind 18g of medium roast. Pretty happy with it. I think it has about 250 clicks, so lots of precision.
Not a win for me, but our eldest finishes primary school today (school holiday starts in Scotland). I'm not sure how 7 years have gone by so quickly. But he's done brilliantly and is really looking forward to high school.
I'm also not OP but I have one of these. Also using GarlicOS. Took a bit of tweaking the get things set up, but loving it. I'd definitely recommend, but you may need to fiddle to get it working exactly right. Struggles with some PS1 titles, but otherwise excellent.
Hi all, I always liked coffee but for the last year or so I've actually started looking into the brewing side of things. I've experimented with some good home brewers. My favorite so far is the Aeropress....
I have the Kingrinder K4 which I think shares the burrs with some of the 1zpresso range. The speed is great. Take me less than a minute to grind 18g for a shot. Plus the number of clicks it has is crazy.
