demonmariner,

I’m using a OnePlus 6 right now. I’ve never had a problem, and I’ll probably stick with the brand.

demonmariner,

I deleted my account today. I deleted the app a week or so ago to see if I could stand it, and it was ok, so I pulled the plug today.

The Guardian view on danger at sea: The contrast between the frantic hunt for a missing submersible and the failure to save migrants drowning in the Mediterranean is illuminating (www.theguardian.com)

A massive operation is under way to find and save a stricken vessel and its passengers. As time passes, anxious families and friends wait with growing fear. The US coastguard, Canadian armed forces and commercial vessels are all hunting for the Titan submersible, which has gone missing with five aboard on a dive to the wreck of...

demonmariner,

Well, on the bright side, if there is a successful rescue the rescuees can afford to pay the bill. And they should be held to it.

demonmariner,

What's the reasoning behind keeping a glass of water in it? I've never heard of that before.

demonmariner,

I thought it might be something like that. When microwave ovens were a new idea people had some odd misunderstandings regarding safety.

Reddit CEO lashes out on protests, moderators and third-party apps (techcrunch.com)

"He added that he plans to make changes to moderator policies so users can vote them out. Currently, a higher-ranking moderator — or the company — can boot out moderators. Incidentally, a r/Apple moderator posted on Twitter (via 9to5Mac) that Reddit was threatening to remove moderators who are staging an indefinite...

Me: here's some matches. And there's already gas in the tank.

demonmariner,

We should mail him a "mission accomplished" banner and a green screen backdrop of a battleship deck.

demonmariner,

About a 6. I got another covid booster yesterday and I might as well have the flu. I'll be better tomorrow though.

demonmariner,

Typical WSJ. Rents stopped skyrocketing, so renters have the upper hand. Like it's a surprise that there is a limit to what people can afford to pay?

demonmariner,

Ya, but only if it's from a legit sub shop, not a chain. I can't even bother with subs unless I'm on the East Coast. Preferably south New Jersey. But surprisingly, the WaWa chain can make a pretty good sub, my only exception to the "no chain" rule.

demonmariner,

You mean hoddog?

demonmariner,

Fair enough, I've never been to St. Louis. I'll make a note.

demonmariner,

I'm going to miss many of them, I'm a real reddit junkie. But I'm leaving tonight and don't expect to be back.

Most missed: Witches vs. Patriarchy. Can't seem to find a lemmy equivalent.

Edit: my first comment!

demonmariner,

It's not an acronym. It isn't traditionally capitalized, just a word: ham. Like the stuff you put in sandwiches.

My earliest understanding of it is that it started out when ham radio was brand new, and there was some rivalry between commercial radio and hobbyist radio. Commercial radio people started calling hobbyists "hams" with the same sentiment that applied to actors that overacted; they were aloso hams, of course. As to where that came from, I couldn't say.
