My old laptop died so I took the SSD from it in hope to use it as external drive. I wanted to just overwrite it with dd for security but I decided to go with f3 as that would also give me the opportunity to test the drive. Sadly, bad results came back...
I’ve seen a few artists online use dead electronics to make really amazing multimedia art! If you can’t figure out a way to use it technically, maybe contact such kind of artist who could use the materials artistically?
I had an account on an instance that went down. Is there any way to easily request for it to be removed from search results, or is it just going to be stuck in perpetual existence forever on other instance caches?
I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.
Wouldn’t the solution then is to just ban the trolls, not moderate pronouns? If there’s going to be trolls, letting them be visible would make them easier to identify and ban, no?
Yeah, I came into this thread expecting to defend letting blahaj be federated with hexbear, but I’m left seeing a comment section being armwrestled by hexbear users, when this post should really be predominantly blahaj users weighing in on the pros and cons, and the impact of hexbear onto our instance.
Does anyone else feel like binding just makes you more dysphoric? Binding makes me more conscious of my chest, which generates more of the bad thoughts… am I approaching binding wrong?
honestly, I’ve never seen anything bad from kbin. only very positive. lemmy.world though… understandably most of it is all right, so I don’t think defederating is the call. specific communities with moderation issues can be blocked by users. the instances as a whole are mostly all right.
I’m coming from an Kindle Paperwhite but looking to getting a new one since I cracked the screen. So I’m interested in suggestions! I liked my old one for what it was, but I could find myself missing being able to take notes comfortably.
I began my writing journey on fanfiction.net after a fan page on wetpaint.com went down (wetpaint was my OG springboard for all things fanfics, then ff.net, livejournal and tumblr). I still visit it from time to time, reading fanfics that are not present on AO3....
Almost everything is on Ao3 now for me. It’s just ridiculously easy to read how I want, organize my fics, etc and of course very easy posting. I’ll go on FFN when I run out of fic for a fandom on Ao3 though. There are a few gems that haven’t been crossposted, so I go fight against FFN’s cloudflare to download them with FanFicFare lol.
What do you do with damaged drives?

Can we defederate from hexbear.net?

Binding & dysphoria

kbin.social
kbin has an issue at the moment. As a software platform, it was not ready for the huge influx of users that came with the reddit migration....
What e-reader do you use? Which do you want?

Do you still use fanfiction.net or are you all in on Archive of Our Own
