- Comment on If you are not in a tech field, what got you into self-hosting? 1 day ago:
sad OSCAR noises
- Comment on I can't wait for 2016! 2 days ago:
I’m not searching for examples, but I’m 99.9% sure your particular set of organs are accommodated, assuming the correct choice of peripherals.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
In an effort to fight modern techbros, all modern human writers start churning out Oulipianesque texts, and reading books is cast once again as a passtime for weird (perhaps dangerous) nerds.
…actually, there’s some half-decent stories you can tell and ideas you can bat around with this frame informing both format and content. The title Samizdat jumps to mind when thinking about some of them (I know there’s a contigent on Lemmy who might not be thrilled about the connotations, but it’s a good word). Hmm.
- Comment on What do you do when you're lacking direction in life? 1 week ago:
You, specifically, having readers? Homie I know I’m not alone in following the bits of biography you’ve already posted with great interest. I’d read the fuck out of your memoir.
- Comment on We need libraries, but instead of books, you borrow musical instruments. 1 week ago:
This already exists at a lot of libraries! Example: …biblioottawalibrary.ca/…/musical-instruments
- Comment on Facial recognition to be rolled out nationwide in major police reforms 2 weeks ago:
Ngl, I’d watch the fuck out of a movie about juggalos toppling a surveillance state.
- Comment on Can we make federation less dependent on domain names? 2 weeks ago:
I almost feel like someone needs to do a write-up of the 196@blahaj.zone debacle - while not a 1-for-1 example (it wasn’t a migration attempt that functioned the exact same way as it would with PieFed), it’s a good case study for userbase-community owner-instance dynamics that should be considered, specifically the bit in your last sentence.
- Comment on Huh? 4 weeks ago:
If you happen to be in Ottawa, I have a couple suggestions via PM. Otherwise, stuff that fits the feel you’d probably like exists, but is generally overshadowed by more establishment spots. Takes a little digging (and even what’s there may not suit your tastes).
Not neccessarily a bad thing though, alcohol being a poison and whatnot (I just happen to like poison).
Caveat - I’ve never been in Europe long enough to know the exact feel of a good homey Euro pub, for comparison purposes.
- Comment on dating 4 weeks ago:
If it’s any consolation many of us are old fogeys (from an internet perspective), and likely understood it immediately. I know I did!
- Comment on we need more users 4 weeks ago:
I think part (though not all) of the issue is discoverability. There’s other communities where this isn’t as prevalent, but a) they’re not always easy to find, and b) for this as well as other reasons, they might not be super active (if people don’t know it exists, who’s posting?)
I get around the first bit by trawling All New once and a while. One feature I will say I liked on reddit was the random community function. But while I like that it’s a smaller userbase here for some reasons, it does mean less diversity of interests.
- Comment on Mafs 5 weeks ago:
Eh, I feel it’s still appropriate. Guy didn’t like smoking in general, so celebrate by releasing a big ol’ cloud of silly smoke.
- Comment on Unquestionably high class 5 weeks ago:
When I die and go to hell, imma just be a delicious gooey puddle and might be placed on jello ('cause it is hell after all)

I didn’t know I needed this in my life until now. Thank you!
- Comment on Ska ftw 1 month ago:
Decent recommendations here, but I will always suggest the ska version of I Wanna Riot for playlist purposes.
I’ve always wanted to see a high school band cover this, and every year I just want that more.
- Comment on Ska ftw 1 month ago:
There’s a sticker at a venue here with Batman pimp slapping Robin as he says this that I think about a lot.
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 1 month ago:
Yes, but in a show with major themes about women’s empowerment it’s a weird device to lean on that much.
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 1 month ago:
There are so many times where the Scouts would straight-up die or and Negaverse cronies would win the day if he didn’t show up, throw a flower and talk. Enough times to the point where I wondered “Hey, wtf is the message here exactly?”
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 1 month ago:
I have some very hot takes about the efficacy of the Sailor Scouts given exactly how much Tuxedo Mask does. This is why my ex-wife and kid, who only wanted to enjoy a magical girl show, stopped watching Sailor Moon around me anymore.
- Comment on Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes sense 1 month ago:
What I think’s funny is it’s still on its first battery. S20 FE, went through a skateboarding ‘phase’ and rarely used a case, so the poor thing has been beaten up pretty badly.
Did pick up a used S22 Ultra a couple months ago, but this was a mistake. It has have significant issues staying connected to my mobile network and apparently this is a common problem. Gave up the ghost and just put my SIM back in the S20, the Ultra’s just my Pocket Paint mini tablet at this point.

Lol.
The adhesive was pretty much come entirely off the back panel. My camera lens literally fell off the other day. My usb port has been unusable for years. There’s more than a reasonable chance it will eventually blow up in my pocket.
Still using it, though I probably actually should upgrade or get a quote for repair or something. But I’ve been saying that for like 15 months now.
- Comment on well now I don't know what to think 1 month ago:
Gross, now people are going to associate Santa with lies!
- Comment on well now I don't know what to think 1 month ago:
There’s something about the statement “Come visit Santa’s Workshop, just off the Whiteface Memorial Highway!” that feels … idk? Off, or perhaps a bit on the nose?
But regardless it’s obviously cope, we all know Santa lives in Canadian territory in the H0H forward sortation area.

I was waiting for someone to do this.
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 1 month ago:
My ex decided to take up photography. She’s now essentially semi-pro and it was a terrible financial decision for all involved.
Christmas lists started to get reeeal aspirational. No, you are not getting a lense that’s the financial equivalent of a decent used car for Christmas. Go shoot more gigs and weddings.
- Comment on Clippy had the best suggestions 1 month ago:
This is true. But I have met some - didn’t like most, liked 2 or 3 (only thinking it’s a damn shame they were on a dark path)
- Comment on This bedroom game is weird 1 month ago:
I’ve grown content with the fact there are some aspects of the human experience I will never know first hand or need to know, and that’s ok.
I always make sure to nod or high-five the person I see in the puppy mask at shows sometimes, then leave them to their mysterious doings. Sometimes, it’s good enough to know a door exists - you don’t always have to open it.
- Comment on Clippy had the best suggestions 1 month ago:
Oooh it’s been pretty tempting there, Clippy m’lad. But the group of hard drug users I’ve met and liked is pretty low (not zero, though), which holds me back a bit.
- Comment on There exist people who will go through the effort of leaving their home, traveling to a movie theatre, paying for a ticket, and sitting for 2-3 hours for a movie they claim "nobody wants to see" 1 month ago:
What got me back into theatres was going out and being around people without actually, you know, being around people “post”-COVID. That and I wanted to support my local indie theatre, 'cause it’s cool and stood a huge risk of going out of business during the pandemic.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I think on the whole, we do a little better at this than other platforms. Does depend on the subject, but I see more positive, respectful interactions here than other platforms.
Always a good reminder though!
