Only Human - Memphis May Fire (feat. AJ Channer)

(Note, the linked music video has a seizure warning at the start of it)

I used to justify it with “I’ve had a shit day, I deserve to be able to have something for the convenience” - not to mention, I don’t have a car so realistically it was “Do I want fast food or not”.

Then I started to realize that every day tends to be a bad day for me, due to a multitude of reasons. I live paycheck to paycheck (which is why I don’t have a car in the first place) and the amount I was spending on takeout was way too high.

Now the only time I do so is on Fridays because my workplace lets us spend $25 on their tab just for joining the weekly staff meeting. Aside from that, I might order a takeout once, maybe even twice, during a pay period as a “congrats for making it through last month” but I’d like to even stop doing that ideally.

Realistically, a lot of relationships are “situational” (especially at that age) - but that doesn’t erase the fact that they existed in the first place.

Hmm, well the railing of my bed would well… be railing me.

I mean, sure - why not? Like Ada said, if it isn’t going to cause any negative impact on me, there isn’t a reason for me to object that I can think of.

I would be a bit concerned about the hazards of drawing a lot of attention to yourself on the internet, because of the vile people on the internet - but aside from a brief note about it (if they asked for my opinion), that’s really all I’d have to say on the matter.

Ah I see, that’s unfortunate then. For what its worth, I still think the bot is a great idea for discoverability and bridging the two services together! I hadn’t seen it before since I usually have bot users muted and happened to see this comment chain while logged out.

I’ve given it a follow from my Mastodon account since I do tend to miss quite a few cool Lemmy posts it seems, and I think it’ll help me find some communities in general that I’ll want to subscribe to from over here.

I wonder if perhaps wrapping the majority of the text in a spoiler would work. Though I don’t know if that translates over to Mastodon (if not, it might look a bit funky on that side).

I feel like most people (assuming you’re not on Reddit) don’t really care, so long as you’re not being spammy with them (or not just reply with only an emoji).

Every now and then I’ll tack one on at the end of a comment if I think that my tone might come of a bit more passive aggressive than I intended it to be, but most of the time I just see it as “I might need to rewrite this so that it doesn’t come off that way” instead.

And if you really want even more barebones, you can just do git init --bare into a directory on your VPS, and then git clone user@your.ip.here:path/to/the/directory and use git as you would normally!

Just to note in general to add onto this, it may take a couple of days for instances to update once 0.19.5 comes out - especially since I believe AFAIK it can break third party applications using the API if they’re not updated. So some instances may wait for the bigger apps to update, before they update.

And of course, in general most instances like to test the update on say, a replica, just to ensure that there is no breakage during an update.

Yep… I was about to say “Oh just watch me try not to!”

Yep, my desktop PC may or may not have one of its SSDs not mounted…

I never got the chance to use NeXTSTEP and that sounds great! Would be an excellent middle ground and is definitely one of those “I didn’t know I needed this until now” sort of thing!

Websites that do not let me copy/paste my password in from my password manager, and break the auto-fill functionality.

Additionally, the ones that make you change the password every sixty days because they don’t let me copy and paste the newly generated one in… It just feels like they’re begging me to try to use an insecure one.

About the bonus peeve, it’s definitely a double edged sword for me. I know exactly what you mean, and I hate those moments.

But at the same time, one thing I’ve come to dislike on GNOME is when I click a link in Thunderbird expecting it to open right away, and instead get a “Mozilla Firefox is ready” notification. It makes it feel a bit clunkier/slower when I’ve come to expect that interaction to be instant (and I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s precisely why it hasn’t changed in most places).

So now instead of being bothered by one case, I get bothered by both cases lol. I wish there was more of a middle-ground, like middle clicking the link (or holding control/some other modifier key) would bypass that notification and just directly open/focus it.

Not the original commenter - but it’s definitely not in mine at least…

I haven’t checked my desktop though, perhaps it is there.

Assuming they’re tagged appropriately by the person who setup the account, you can also just disable seeing bot content in your account settings.

Ah, that’s not likely to be found at any site really (that I know of at least). That model makes sense for governments, but for websites its not like you’re able to vote in a new site owner (well, strictly speaking from an independent run website and not one that’s run by a corporation cough Reddit - even then, you can’t really just vote out Reddit Inc as a whole).

But, America was founded because they didn’t want to be connected to a government they felt like they had no influence in, thus splitting off to form their own government - it’s very easy to do the same for Lemmy (you could even go as far as Hexbear did, and fork Lemmy and maintain your own version).

I’m not familiar with any websites that are run in the way that you’re referring to, but I’d be interested to see one and how it shapes up (even if I wouldn’t be interested in running one myself), though I’m not sure how the logistics of it would work. However, I’ve seen the idea come up a few times in the past before so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s one out there (or at least, in the past).

Personally I see the analogy is a a bit silly for a site that takes place in the Fediverse. If you break a law in most places, you get thrown in jail. On a Lemmy/Fediverse instance, if you break the rules you get banned - but can start a new account elsewhere and participate in the same communities (for better or for worse). This exact community isn’t even hosted on lemmy.world, so the definition of “site” in the Fediverse is a much less important abstraction than it would be if you were to say, be banned off of Reddit, hence why I keep circling back to moving instances/standing up your own.

you must admit we don’t have the same rights here as we would in a society.

I’d disagree, and actually say that you have even more “rights”. You can move to another instance, or even start up your own. The equivalent (moving to a different country/city/town, or starting your own) is a bit harder to pull off depending on your situation.

The next major release will even have an account settings export/import feature to make this a bit easier. Or for now, you can use something like LASIM.

You’d probably need to see if they have a way to directly contact them, as this community is primarily for those looking for assistance with running/configuring their own Lemmy instance.
