First one is def interesting, but a little too chip tune for my taste (still cool though). Definitely liking the second one. Will check out some more of them. Thanks.

The former but will settle for the latter. Amazing description, BTW. lol

Black Mirror didn’t do that one, but American Horror Stories did:

Which is surprising because that show normally kinda sucks. Got roped into watching it last year, and I forgot I was watching AHS halfway through and almost thought it was a new Black Mirror.

It’s like we’re on a speed run toward the near-future Charlie Brooker warned us about.

But TBF, “Hang the DJ” was one of the few Black Mirror episodes that wasn’t a total downer.

Also yes 😆

Not that, specifically, but I get annoyed when people post screenshots of videos that have the “play” icon on them. My dumbass clicks on those 9 times out of 10.

South Park: What Scientologists Actually Believe

Beyond that, it’s a cult / pyramid scheme.

Also, check out Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath documentary for a good insider’s perspective.

It’s not the documentary, but here’s Leah explaining the scam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM-FrI5Hqto

I think they’re stating the opposite: that there are multiple posts about it in many, many communities.

Colloquially, it means we’ll hopefully stop seeing “AI” shoved into every nook and cranny of every piece of software to tick a buzzword box.

I stopped eating fast food during covid and never got back into it.

The one time, post covid, I was out and stopped to eat, it was gross. But it’d been so long, I genuinely don’t know if it had always been gross and I lost my acclimation to it, or if it was actually more gross than it used to be.

Anecdotally, I’ve heard complaints online that the quality has gone down while the prices went up, so it probably has gotten worse.

The only one I can really see is [email protected] but it doesn’t appear to be active at all. The only moderator for it hasn’t posted anything in a year or so.

Looks like some “if you build it, they will come” is needed.

Not sure of the procedure, but you may reach out to the LW admins to see about taking over the community if the mod is confirmed AWOL.

Yeah, mostly. It’s a third party UI that you’d use in place of (or alongside) any other. Works on mobile (optionally as a PWA) and desktop.

Not sure if lemmy.ca runs it directly, but the hosted instance is unlocked so that it can connect to any Lemmy instance.

Sadly, Lemmy doesn’t provide crosspost information in the feed; the frontend has to detect those duplicates and roll them up itself.

Not sure if any other UIs do, but Tesseract will match crossposts on title as well as URL (the default UI only uses URL). I wrote that behavior in specifically for what you described; I was annoyed by seeing 3-4 duplicate posts to different communities all in a row.

It’s not perfect since the crosspost rollups only happen if the duplicates are fetched in the same batch, but it does help a lot.

Maybe I’m remembering early/beta Teams with rose tinted spectacles, but at the very least the silver lining was that I no longer needed to keep a separate Windows machine running just for work IM.

I even tried adding it to Citrix, but it refused to install on a server version of Windows.

We used to use it before switching to Google Workspace (don’t get me started on how much I hate that), and Teams wasn’t too bad. But it had two things going for it then:

• It was replacing Skype for Business which never should existed because it was so awful. Compared to SfB, literally anything was an improvement.
• At the time, it was basically a Slack clone that didn’t have everything and the kitchen sink bolted on yet and was decently lightweight if you used the browser version.

That’s why I’m trying to block out all this and enjoy this last month and a half as best I can.

The sound of a dog making the “uck uck uck uck uck uck uck bleeeech” gets me out of bed fast.

I’ve said before (and will say again) that US elections are like our national-scale county fairs: idiots that your normally never see come out of the woodwork.
