More of a fart post innit?

I went whole hog. The sync features are great between computer and phone app (phone app is excellent!) and they actively disable all the terrible shit from chrome. It works with bing/chat gpt too which is nice. They have been very vocal against Google proposed changes and I’m confident they will work around them if at all possible. If not, hell yeah, I’m jumping ship, but I give Vivaldi a lot of credit for what they’ve done this far. I’m hanging in there for now.

Don’t leave those bottom two laying out at my house. To my spouse a knife is a knife. Pizza knife to slice bananas? Sure, why the hell not. Bread knife to cut cheddar - done. Drives a neurotic like me nuts.

First thing I install on a windows puter is “Everything” app by Voidtools. I don’t know how windows users can find anything at all without it. It’s a must.

How can you tell it’s water if it’s not blue?

I don’t have that excuse and still find myself shit posting instead of sleeping.

You fuckers are getting raises??! Goddammit, you’re part of the problem!

I often worry about this. Have I done enough? Will I be remembered?

Its not hate. It’s not toxic. It’s dramatic irony. You don’t have to laugh, but this isn’t meant to be hurtful to anyone.

People can’t handle momma jokes here?

Yep. There are strong movememts to undo what is really a very recent and very American practice of breeding in Brachycephaly. The American Kennel Club shamefully has contributed to these standards and glorified them in pure bred animals. Look at historical drawings and paintings of pugs as an excellent example. They were typically much thinner and had much longer snouts than what is idealized today. An increasing number of European breeders led quite strongly by the Germans are breeding Retro Mops or old fashioned healthier pugs. This has unfortunately not caught on in US (fuck the AKC - seriously), but retro pugs which are cross bred typically with terriers are starting to be a thing with a few select breeders. I have a retro mop. He outruns every single dog in his weight class in the dog park both in speed and endurance. He doesn’t need a harness, he has a strong neck and uses a collar. No breathing issues whatsoever. For archival purposes please check out https://pugdogpassion.com/ Therese Rodin has been a huge influence in this modern movement and I wish everyone would review her teachings or speak to her before considering purchasing a Brachycephalic dog.

Unfortunately no. I don’t understand this well enough to know why accounts don’t sync, but that seems like it would be much better to me.

I really don’t get the sense that Lemmy is being overwhelmed by users. Things be pretty quite in these here parts. If this kind of volume is bringing down what I thought was one of the main instances, Fediverse seems kind of doomed. I’ve long been worried about scalability. I’ve tried other instances and had issues. Each time I think should I give up or hop instances, make a new account etc. People will flock to the biggest most stable instances, but if they can’t afford fancy hosting, everything starts to crumble

Who wouldn’t want to know? They probably invite all the people that say yes to a party and serve beer and popcorn and have everyone tell their stories. That’s what I would do.

Underrated comment

Well yeah, and moreover I don’t want to eat the damn olives after they’ve dipped their digits in there.

Steeve, unless you live in Palo Alto, you have a very pinky in the air definition of decent. I said X SDs above the average so that would account for inflation. I don’t know the current number. At one point I think it was like $270k a year. Nothing completely insane. I would guess now it’s probably like $450k a year roughly. You make that and you are as happy as someone making double that.

That’s only true to a point and that point is not very high. There is some good literature on this, but after a handful of standard deviations above high-average income the happiness effect plateaus. Multimillionaires aren’t any happier than millionaires and often work more / stress more to get there.

Right out of the jar with your fingers? Wtf?

TF you mean sometimes? Haven’t you read the manual?
