Years back, it was more simple. Food, shelter, and water. But now, as technology, advances and people get stressed out more and more from life getting too complicated, needing manuals for almost everything. What do you guys think the bear necessities are now?...
I live in a remote place and a few times a year have to live without stuff, so my list after water, food and shelter (assuming those are the minimum version of what the word means) would be: A sanitary toilet A means of washing oneself A reliable way of cooking food A reliable way of providing light at night Access to xkcd.com
Completely agree, though if I do try food from other countries I want to have it as close as possible to how it’s enjoyed by discerning locals … I’m not sure if that counts as being snobbish?
Some people I work with have literally the same sandwich every day … Pa Amb Tomaquet is a national dish that invokes pride (if done right) while also being thoroughly working class.
What I’ve seen of fancy places is the “peasant food” is fancied up with “better” ingredients, or the recipe is changed, which just turns my appetite off … fortunately that’s not a frequent problem for me since I can’t afford to spend on eating out, lol
Yeah, I grew up in a remote place, lived somewhere with to-the-door post for quite a while, and now live in a remote place again … I pick up my post from the village bar, and it’s a very good excuse to stop for a drink while I’m there :-)
Competitions should go over to crazy golf, it’d be more fun to watch then, not use water, and use less space too … imagine how crazy pro-level crazy golf courses could be!
Yesterday, you probably saw this informal post by one of our head admins (Chris Remington). This post lamented some of the difficulties we’re running into with the site at this point, and what the future might hold for us. This is a more formal post about those difficulties and the way we currently see things....
My understanding is that kbin is even less mature than Lemmy.
Also, OP stated that they’ve weighed up all available options (which would obviously include kbin) and to please not suggest things in this thread, I guess because of getting bogged down in semantic arguments rather than discussing the community aspect.
That seems like a big ask given that the admins mentioned they don’t have the resources to start from scratch and a Lemmy fork wouldn’t fix the issues. There is almost no possibility of this happening, my friend
What we move to could still have an app … I’m using Liftoff and Connect, they both do ok, and I’m guessing adapting to another app (or good mobile web frontend) wouldn’t be as painful as you think!
Yeah, I’m old so I tend to gravitate towards forums by nature, lol … it’s a mature and proven way of working, though harder to maintain momentum on compared to an aggregator like this
Agreed on all counts … that said, his first “I’m not going to resign” speach got resounding applause, so I’m sure he had a lot of behind-the-scenes support to stay as long as he did.
Hopefully whoever gets his job will be both better and able to cut out more of the rot.
(I live in Spain, I’ve been royally pissed off at how the players have been treated)
Thanks for adding some context, I missed out on that!
As for Vox, they’ll keep defending him because they always look for the worst possible opinion to have and then jump on that … because unfortunately there’s enough people out there with the same shitty views who will then want to vote for them even harder.
I’m crossing all my fingers for a not-PP government.
You’re probably going to find that hair-specific scissors are going to work fine on beard hairs too, but they’ll be comparatively long and ungainly for around your face.
Any brand-name ones are going to be good if you’re not planning to be a pro. I do my family hair, but that’s with a trimmer!

I’ve recently started playing Horizon Chase on Android with a controller … it’s more like a Lotus Turbo Challenge homage, but it scratches the Outrun itch!
I decided to try it after getting Outrun on Mame working and finding the graphics were bad to the point of not enjoying the experience
Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.
I can totally see why you wouldn’t like Snowrunner … I love it, and doing rescue missions to recover flipped trucks and struggling through hard terrain at a slow pace are the parts I like about it, lol
I’m in my late 20’s and this is my first year since 2018 that I have not done adult recreational sports (softball and flag football) in the spring and summer. The reason for not doing them this year is because my wife and I had our first child and I did not have time to play like I usually do between work and the new child....
It’s funny how you describe team sports for kids, when I was young it was always used as a system to punish the weak.
Anywho, my favourite hobbies that keep me fit have all been based on not being in a team. Mountain biking was always the best, but now my knees disagree so I’m doing 3D / field archery … I’ve managed to make a new friend through that, so even though I’m crap I still enjoy going :-)
Do they last longer? I have an IPhone 3 somewhere that just decided to stop working, yet my HTC with Android 1.2 still works fine.
Most of what’s held me back from Apple products has been their planned obsolescence, where the OS was no longer supported, which I’ve never had with a PC. I’ve had my cheap second hand laptop for 7 years now and that still works fine with the latest software
I can’t use the iPhone 3 I have in a drawer, even though there’s nothing wrong with it. Meanwhile my HTC that runs Android 1.2 still works with Google maps just fine.
I was also pissed off when all the OSX software dropped support for single-core Intel processors which rendered some very expensive 2 year old machines at work useless for anything Mac-specific.
For context, my Dad is still using a PC I built out of parts recovered from a skip in 2008, and it works just fine.
Well, I went and looked it up and apparently since the iPhone 4 onwards Apple actually started to get their shit together and started supporting their hardware for more than 3 years … I do find it funny though that an unsupported iPhone can’t connect to the app store at all while even the evil Google’s old apps can still get live data without problems.
