- Comment on is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions? 4 days ago:
Hah, I figure I do bother some people with my block of posts, but 1) I put all my posts up and breakfast so people have all day to ask me questions and I have all my down time at work to answer them so you get quick replies before you forget you even asked something, and 2) if seeing 3-5 owl photos is a row is that big a deal, congrats on having no real problems! 😜
I really do feel that way I do it is an advantage for anyone who develops a real interest in the content. It works for me in a way that it isn’t a burden to do it every day, and you get my mostly undivided attention to reply to you.
- Comment on Can shoes be made in the US without cheap labour? 1 week ago:
Even Keen only assembles 9% of its shoes in America.
To my knowledge, and as somewhat reflected in the article, they’re not even really made in America, but this is mainly just where foreign manufacture pieces are assembled.
The article does address that a little more, showing Keen is working on trying to source more US made parts, but due to the limited manufacturing here and its increased labor cost, that’s a challenge.
I’m on my third set of Keens, and they are far and away my favorite work boots. I’ve had one of the higher end non-US ones and 2 US ones. They’ve all been amazing, but the width of my most recent pair feels like it was made on a narrower last, but it’s also my first leather pair, so they may just need more break in.

Yay! Validation! 😁
- Comment on Do you care about up/down votes? 2 weeks ago:
It lets me feel like my time here is being useful if I get the upvotes. I try to limit myself to positive/fun/helpful posts or adding additional facts from other articles to someone’s post of I feel more info is needed to get a full story, so if people reply or at least upvote, it feels like it was worth adding my contribution. If my humor/help isn’t needed or wanted in a place, I don’t want to both waste my time and annoy people.
- Comment on Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut’s new scenes will give fans “refreshing” sense of closure, according to cast 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know if I need this, as I felt everything was done pretty well as it was in 0 and Kiwami 2, but since all the characters and actors are so good with these roles, I definitely want to see it.
I’d be a bit annoyed if this isn’t eventually a free patch to the PlayStation, and I don’t know if I’d pay for it, but having this a Nintendo exclusive permanently seems an odd decision.

Oh wow. I had no clue there were so many that inexpensive now. Thank you!
- Comment on Philips debuts 3D printable components to repair products 1 month ago:
Huh… I watched a basic review on it and that seems somewhat intriguing. It looked faster than expected, decent basic features, and he says parts availability is good. I may have to put this on the wishlist… Thanks for the tip!
- Comment on Philips debuts 3D printable components to repair products 1 month ago:
I check periodically, but I don’t see anything within an hour of me. It’s a shame, as I’m in the more populated part of my state, between the biggest and third biggest cities and I read about these places and feel I’d really enjoy them.
I have a milk frother for example, that burned out its stupidly non resetting thermal fuse because it got put on the base, something bumped the start button with nothing in and it burnt out. I’d love to have someone show me how to locate that bit and replace it, but I dunno where to go for that.
Same with the 3D printer. I can afford one, but at this stage of life I’d rather someone give me a hands on run through and give me some of their wisdom from experience than me playing around and getting frustrated until I get it right.
- Comment on Philips debuts 3D printable components to repair products 1 month ago:
Thank you! I’ll have to keep that in mind! It seems like a thing that would be useful to have access to. There are always little things where I think it would be cool if the local library or hardware store had a printer for things that don’t seem like they’d be worth shipping but nice to have like pen refill adapters for instance.
- Comment on Philips debuts 3D printable components to repair products 1 month ago:
That was my first thought, but it seems easier to run a few thousand more off the assembly line and make the original part than I’d think to have at least one person develop an adequate 3D part for an items that wasn’t originally designed to be 3D printed.
Even for a relatively simple item like the trimmer guard shown, as someone who used those on their whole head for many years, they need to have decent rigidity coming from a number of angles so it cuts evenly, so someone needs to design a decent print, find what types of stock provide the right durability, flex, etc.
So it’s doesn’t sound that free for them or quick, but it’s much cheaper than distribution for a bunch of random parts that may never get used.
I’m curious to see long term effects if this catches on. Will more original parts be made with 3D printing if they need to design prints anyway?
The big downside is even if this were available, I don’t have a printer. I don’t know anyone with one. I don’t know where I could go to (?) rent time on one. So to me at the moment, this is as useful to me as no available replacement part! 😅

Anyone have an easy migration tool they recommend if we want to move/backup our lists to somewhere else?
Is AniList the best similar tracker?

Glad you enjoy all the different owls!
I did join up with the local rehab center this year. After promoting it every day, it didn’t feel right if I did not participate directly myself. Last year I also had another commenter tell me the community got them to join their rehab center, so we’re making a small positive change in the world.
I’ve been learning a lot there and get to see many adorable animals up close. Here is our newest owl patient:

My whole family played the heck out of Super Black Bass! Probably the best fishing I’ve ever had in a game.
- Comment on are there bots that downvote every comment users have? 1 month ago:
Part of me has wanted this for a long time. The other part of me wants to forget I now know about it.
At least the handful I checked seem to be random, so likely accidental, but I can see this driving me crazy.
- Comment on Anyone know of any active alternative communities? eg goth, tattoo, punk etc. 2 months ago:
I don’t want to have to deal with the mod stuff, exactly like OP said. I’m just here to promote owls, conservation, and wildlife rehab. I do have a great mod that lets me do pretty much anything I want and will do stickies and banner changes and such for me, and I just keep giving good content.
- Comment on My Lemmy instance where 80% of the most generic posts are deleted 2 months ago:
I do look to have made it to your feed now! It deleted my 3 posts that were photos with short blurbs and kept my news article that is mostly text.
We rarely get the meme type posts, but if your setup is looking at anything like text:photo ratio, that could be doing it.
I have most meme communities block myself, so I understand how overtaking they can be to a feed. 😁
I’m interested in what you’re doing because I am interested in news and politics, but it would be nice to get rid of most of the garbage US news and the dupe posts, and let a better variety of news come in. I’ve gone to keyword blocking, but while I have “Trump” blocked, I’d still like to see things from other countries about their responses to his actions., for example.
- Comment on My Lemmy instance where 80% of the most generic posts are deleted 2 months ago:
I was curious what would happen to the ratio of political posts, specifically Trump/Elon, to other communities, but it feels >= the amount as All on lemmy.world.
None of my superb owls look to have made it through, but I didn’t see them removed in the mod log. We’re a pretty large community, so I’d have thought some would have gotten through. I don’t recall if I saw stuff from any of the animal comms.
- Comment on Trump policies make US ‘scary place to invest’ and risk stagflation, says Stiglitz 4 months ago:
Gotcha. I’m used to gold people being a little sketchy. My response is 50/50 money making vs stability, though for the same reasons. I felt it would take something cataclysmic to dethrone the US as the prime market force as a whole in my lifetime, and, well, it seems I may have been right, but I really didn’t want to be. If we’re due for stagflation or inflation, I need to ramp up my savings and growth, so it’s got me looking if now is the time to spread out to ex-US investments. I’m no stock bro, I just got to look out for the future happiness and medical expenses for me and my wife. 😐
- Comment on Trump policies make US ‘scary place to invest’ and risk stagflation, says Stiglitz 4 months ago:
YTD for Google and Tesla is down, but Meta is up, so it’s looking too early to see how the current goes with the new oligarchs.
For the big picture, while the US is still killing the rest of the world broadly on returns, the YTD is another story.
Gold doesn’t interest me for my needs, but US vs non-US is going to be worth keeping an eye on. I’ve been 100% US so far and have not regretted it, but this intentional sabotage of trade has me questioning having all my eggs in one basket now that certain people are punching holes in that basket.
- Comment on What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform 4 months ago:
I seriously worry about coming off creepy or insincere, or else I would shower you with praise more constantly! Your app has made my experience here so much better, and I’m grateful for the things you’ve added to it, sometimes I’m sure, just for me.
You’ve always been really friendly and helpful and lightning fast fixing any issues, and you obviously put a lot of time and work into developing and maintaining the app, and you don’t ask for money or have ads or anything.
None of the other apps are bad or anything, but I still think yours offers the most and the best for me, and how I don’t see Summit near the top of every best Lemmy app posts is crazy to me.
- Comment on Onboarding experience needs to be simpler for mass adoption 4 months ago:
Fair enough reasons. If you’re doing custom ublock filters and such, you’re likely able to tweak a lot to how you want it without any outside help from an app.
I see in you rother comment to someone you haven’t tried Voyager in a year. I haven’t tried that one recently, but I will say even over the last 6-8 months, so many of these apps have really matured from where they were a year or so ago. Very significantly so IMO. I think Summit is really the sleeper champ of the apps for my use case, and the dev is super helpful and responsive.
To each their own though. I love we have such great variety in UI here. At this point, there should be a couple viable options for near anyone.
- Comment on What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform 4 months ago:
I’ve tried almost every Android app for Lemmy, and holy heck, do I love Summit the most. It does everything I need it to and more. It looks great. It’s responsive. And the dev is amazing. They respond to bugs, issues, and feature requests lightning fast. No ads. Not FOSS, which is the only thing I’ve seen anyone gripe about.
Been using it almost exclusively for a year or so now, and I can’t praise it enough.
- Comment on Onboarding experience needs to be simpler for mass adoption 4 months ago:
What is wrong with apps? I get a lot of great features from the one I use that I don’t get with the web client.
- multi-communities
- user tagging
- drafts
- keyword blocking
- themes
- customizeable ui
- etc

- Comment on "SPY x FAMILY" Season 3 Announces October 2025 Release with New Illustration 5 months ago:
There is some good stuff coming up. There is a hostage standoff, Loid’s tragic backstory, and I thought the recent backstory of the school’s teachers was very touching.
I enjoy the family stuff as much as the spy/assassin parts and I liked the movie as it had a good amount of both.
If you want something similar but more action focused, Sakamoto Days anime is starting next month. Perhaps check that out then.
- Comment on Niche Communities won't be able to reach their true potential until lemmy adds a sort that takes engagement into account. 7 months ago:
A few apps have multi-community support where you can group whatever you want, how you want, in one stream. I’m using Summit, but I feel a few other of the bigger apps support it now. I group the AskLemmys, tv/movie communities and different art communities into groups so I can view by category.

I really enjoyed season 2. I was looking forward to the arc that’s the second half since it came out in the manga.
If you like the show in general, you should enjoy the movie just as much.
- Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2024, Week 43] 7 months ago:
Watched Spy X Family: Code White the other night, and was very pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t expecting much, and went in mostly blind other than knowing it wasn’t based on manga content.
Animation looked great, and for a plotline that centered around the family going out for dessert, it turned out to be a very compelling story. It fit in perfectly with the regular anime/manga, and you could watch it wherever you’re at in the series without being lost or it feeling out of place. All 3 MCs got a good amount of story time as well, and a lot of side characters had appearances, so it’s not just an Anya story or Loid, etc.
If you haven’t seen it, but enjoy the show, give it a watch. It was a lot of fun!
