I think this idea is good. I remember seeing those domain names last year. At the time it seemed muddy and uncomfortable to me, since there was a whole scheme of Reddit ghost accounts posting, while I understood there were good intentions behind it, mirrored posts were flooding users’ All feed to the point I started blocking a bunch of subs, and many admins defederated.
If we can promote the community first approach where the domain is the space for discussion to be held and stored, with users connecting from across the Fediverse, this would be excellent, a good alternative to massive centralized Lemmy servers. Collective ownership would ensure preservation of content if one or more go offline.
Compared to other national and international chains, I’ll pick Dominos. Here in Vancouver there are just so many local pizza shops and smaller chains to choose from, even the cheaper/quantity over quality chains taste better than both Pizza Hut and Domino’s (I’m thinking Freshslice for the Western Canadians in the room). Even corporate pizza events here don’t go with Domino’s, which was the go to when I was elsewhere.
Distances in North America tend to be measured in hours of driving at highway speeds (usually 65mph/105kmh, but sometimes extra time added going through cities). Houston, Texas for example you can get from one edge of town to the other in an hour, plus up to an extra hour in traffic. The transit options in every metro area are different. The only thing is that people in suburbia are in the middle of a maze that would take 25 minutes on foot to get out of to the nearest convenience store (corner shop). A habit of going every other day for light shopping trips on the way from work is less common and often limited to retirees and non-working parents. What’s more common is doing a large cartful of shopping from every week to even once a month, and fitting it all in your monster SUV or pickup truck.
That said lifestyles can vary across the US, suburban vs rural, like New York, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles will each have their own characteristics with how far things are, how far they feel and, how developed transit is. Between cities, transit is rather disconnected without a car, you have minimal and inconvenient coach bus services and trains that might show up 3 times a week.
If you mention the word “heat pump” in the suburbs of Chicago too loudly you may be stopped for a brief hour-long explainer.
You can find Alec on Mastodon, too.
All the Lie-agra in the world can’t get this sad man’s crowd sizes up any more.
Yeah the drivers are shit on cheap products and heat can wear them out easily. I find that LED bulbs “burn out” by just being super dim rather than physically snapping like incandescent filaments. I have these 96 cent cheapass LED bulbs that I have no expectation of lasting long, and I have other 6 dollar dimmable bulbs that I hope I will last longer.
Before the whole API fiasco, reddit was down a whole bunch, and old reddit plus 3rd party apps were taking significantly longer to recover than the new interface. I’d already been noticing the quality of posts going downhill and the number of plagiarizing bots and shirt sellers going up.
One time it was down, I searched up Reddit alternatives and found Lemmy. I had previously heard tidbits of the Fediverse (like Mastodon and Friendica) which sounded like something up my alley, but the Twitter/Facebook style didn’t fit my vibe. So when I discovered this Reddit alternative that seemed appealing. I looked around for a good server to join and I made an account, coincidentally on my 6-year Reddit cake day. I was in a transition period away from Reddit between March to July 2023 since there wasn’t too much content on Lemmy really until June, but I tried to contribute a handful of local posts and news to my communities. In June I posted a handful of comments trying to help people migrate to Lemmy. It was a little difficult to leave, but I edited my top 20 comments plus a handful of other niche answers saying I left for lemmy, put a goodbye self-post and swore to myself I would not post or comment on Reddit again.
So far I’ve stuck to this pledge. Still I sometimes wonder if I should post an FAQ to help more people, but I’ll leave that to other people and Redditors can find us at their leisure.
Learning French (Spanish in the US) by reading the back of the toothpaste bottles and whatnot. Newspapers, crosswords and magazines were very common in household washrooms.
The City hasn’t loaded in yet. Very much agree that foggy days in the PNW are a vibe.
Fluffychat on Android mobile. Feels familiar.
Ah of course. Americans tie so much success and personal welfare to employment, that’s the problem! An UBI would help everyone succeed then we wouldn’t be too worried about immigrants /s.
It’s a useful tool, but there is a security concern for anything not fully open source. You will have to weigh your risk factors, I doubt that it’s any problem for most consumers or distro hoppers.
Best to keep an eye in case any new contributers arrive suddenly…
$0.11 Canadian/kWh, my usage is about 150kWh per person per month, but I don’t have summer AC. There’s a higher rate beyond a threshold of 675kW/h but that’s still under 15 cents. With a zero-use daily charge including municipal levies about 30 cents per day, and some fluctuations based on power sold, imported and other costs (my last bill had like $3 in credits). All in all about CA$25/mo ($18US).
Charged by BCHydro, the provincial power regulator. I’ve been really shocked at how cheap utilities are overall in BC, I budgeted about 3 times the amount I needed when I first moved.
Adding to my own comment:
Shoutout to all of you Lemmings and Fedizens for participating in this platform, and staying in our communities despite many features still early in development compared to established platforms. Thank you for that.
If you can believe it, Trump supporters will accept the Ohio immigrant pet eating story as true.
Somehow media is pitching the “moderate position” as halfway between anywhere within the normal range of political positions and the crazy positions.
Not even enticing people with “free premium currency” just for logging in could entice me to play an Ubisoft shooter.
