Beehaw on Lemmy: The long-term conundrum of staying here
Yesterday, you probably saw this informal post by one of our head admins (Chris Remington).

A High Priority for Moving Away from Lemmy
Several months ago Beehaw received a report about CSAM (i.e. Child Sexual Abuse Material). As an admin, I had to investigate this in order to verify and take the next steps. This was the first time in my life that I had ever seen images such as these. Not to go into great detail, but the images were of a very young child...

Why the Pixel 8's Face Unlock upgrade is a big deal (www.androidcentral.com)
What book do you feel is/was kinda overhyped?
Like books that got very popular but you never really could get into.
So on tiktok there's been a viral sound saying "on average most people have around 15 books in their house". So, lemmy, how many books do YOU have in your house? Is that sound true?
I have way too damn many lol. probably at least 400
I want a Sim Ant game but with bees
Beehaw has me thinking about bees…...
Any Peter F. Hamilton fans around?
I'm a huge fan of Peter F. Hamilton myself (original username NorthernLightMountain after all) and figured there ought to be more of us around here!...
I miss SETI@home
Do we have any other former SETI@home users here?...

Android custom rom security/privacy/trust

Beehaw and Lemmy appreciation
Something just struck me today when scrolling Lemmy, something that sticks out thanks to the federated aspects....
Beehaw feels snappier
Didn you guys do something new? Posting feels a lot quicker than it used to. Could just be my imagination but something makes it feel really snappy and nice!
