whenever I’m about to sleep, I usually turn on and off the lights “pretending” I’m fixing a spaceship and then say “alright, everything is working correctly”, then, after hopping onto bed, I pretend I’m closing a spaceship window when I’m getting comfy and before sleeping I say, “hyperspace exploration in 1, 2,...

I work in tech. At my previous job, I started organizing a union and got maybe 20 people out of 70 involved in actively planning and being interested. But I left my old job for this one, because I could be paid more with less work. And now there’s a new job on the horizon which promises another 10-20k a year, and again, the...

new on lemmy and looking for a good client.

I thought it was an intentional joke but he didn’t seem to think it was funny, even when I explained the “404: Office Not Found”....

Not sure where else to post this, but I just learned that an old buddy lost his lengthy battle with cancer this evening after putting up a solid fight. If anyone feels like raising a glass to a random stranger, I’m sure he’d appreciate it....

I’m traveling with family this weekend in a touristy place and have been out in public in crowded areas. I am really shocked by the number of people who have loud, personal conversations on the phone in speaker mode. This ranges from walking down the sidewalk, to in line for washrooms, to seated restaurant dining....

Which one is it for you?

Seriously, I love this series so much. The Audiobooks are amazing.

Hey, I’ve been looking at what I’m subscribed to on Lemmy and it really grim, and not really what I want from a social media. I’m into tech, but the tech subs talk about evil things companies do, a lot of linux meme and programmer humor, and it’s all cool and all, piracy talking about how it’s bad what certain company...

I always thought this was a fun topic. What power would you choose?

Hope you are all well

A bit late today, sorry for that....

In my case, a few things, but probably being healthy, having a good quality of life in a safe country. Being able to spend time with my friends and family.

I am having some family members visit my place for the first time since I moved in and I’m pretty excited. It’s a small thing, but yeah. I have a tendency to work most weekends because I don’t have a social life so it’s a nice change of pace. Do any of you get to do anything fun? Hooe your Friday goes well!

People say it feels like old reddit and it does to a degree, but in other ways it feels better!...

It was funny for the first 30 posts but it’s already getting old. At this rate this place is gonna become ifunny or send new users away. A lot of the memes are low effort crap too

Curious to know, I’d heard “lemming” used in a semi derogatory way, since “a person who unthinkingly joins a mass movement, especially a headlong rush to destruction” is the dictionary definition. It seems to be the first thing to come to mind as to what you’d call a Lemmy user....

I always wanted a cat. I like the stupid little furballs. Can't help it. I know it's irrational and expensive and environmentally suboptimaland you're basically just setting yourself up for inevitable heartbreak, but when they bump their dumb soft heads into me I melt like a chocolate bar on the dash of a black car in the August...

Reddit was so combative at times, it felt like I was getting into arguments with people on there a lot. I like seeing Lemmy grow and new people join, and I just wanna enjoy it and not argue with people about stupid shit. Let's just all have fun!

I feel so proud of him and how hard he has worked! Especially during the pandemic, I saw how hard he struggled to adapt to doing school online. Seeing him having accomplished this is truly to motivating for me as I'll be starting high school soon. What was high school like for you guys?

If you weren’t aware about the discussion, have a look at the other pinned thread....

I just think at some point in my life, there is going to be a wonderful comedic opportunity to crush an apple and I should learn how or train now. e: Anybody else have any ridiculous goals right now?

I installed Debian + KDE on my mom’s laptop. She hasn’t had a complaint since. How tech-savvy is she, you ask? I’m sitting with her right now, so out of politeness she put on headphones to watch her favorite soap opera. Mind you, the headphones weren’t plugged into the laptop. She was sitting there, headphones on her...

Tl:dr: would you be okay to migrate the community to another instance for better performance? The change for you would just be one click to subscribe to the new community on the new instance....
