I just got into selfhosting with a used thin client (Dell Wyse 3040), only $30 on eBay. I don’t know what I’m doing at all and it’s still working out great for me so far, so I think that’s a good enough endorsement.

If you like this post, you gotta see the response post Straycatj made:

“I’m going to tell you about his wrongdoing again.”

He opened the ice stocker of her refrigerator and let all ice cubes melted
↑it inundated the floor
He entered that stock space after she quit to make ices
He entered her towel box(example photo) and put black furs all the towels
↑ she needed to buy a new box with a lid
He threw away her kitchen cloth box when he climbed and entered the shelf
↑she needed to wash them again
↑ she needed to buy a new box with a lid
He opened the rice cooker before it started to cook so she couldn’t have rice at the morning
He opened the rice cooker and ate rice
She needed to buy a new cooker with the side button
He ate rice in her lunch box
He ate mochi rice before she cook
He opened the package of pasta and ate them
He opened the package of lamen and ate them
He raids her every time while she’s eating her favorite pudding

Worth keeping in mind that Facebook has manipulated data before:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivot_to_video#Facebook_metrics_controversy

In September 2016, Facebook admitted that it had reported artificially inflated numbers to its advertisers about how long viewers watched ads leading to an overestimation of 60-80%[44] Facebook apologized in an official statement and in multiple staff appearances at New York Advertising Week.[45][46] Two months later, Facebook disclosed additional discrepancies in audience metrics.[47][48] In October 2018, a California federal court unsealed the text of a class action lawsuit filed by advertisers against Facebook, alleging that Facebook had known since 2015 that its viewership numbers were inflated “by some 150 to 900 percent” and waited over a year before taking action to disclose or fix the problem, citing internal Facebook communications that “somehow there was no progress on the task for the year” and decisions to “obfuscate the fact that we screwed up the math.”[49][50]

It wasn’t gradual, but I didn’t make a deliberate choice either. It was during 2020. My fear of covid (I did get it, it was hell) outweighed my desire to go to the liquor store. By the time places were opening up again, I realized my life was a lot more livable without the blackout binges. I’ve felt really weird about it ever since then, that I don’t really have an inspirational “I chose to do this, it was my strength and willpower to get better” quitting story since it was purely from literally not being able to, but I try to just be grateful because it really was destroying my life.

Never worked there but the Taco Bell subreddits were daily reads for me. I think the most consistently hated were basically any of the gimmick options, like the $1 Crunchwrap Sliders were my favorite food ever when they were around, but I was mortified to learn the employees HATED making them. A lot of the grilled stuff seems to be difficult. Nacho fries, though I don’t remember why. I know ordering a bean burrito grilled was considered a douchebag move, but I think they removed the option to do that.

That’s @RSS, for those who might want to look it up (I really wish kbin would show posters’ instances more clearly). Subscribed!

I think by “here” OP meant the fediverse in general, hence “an interesting topic and the right community”. I would guess this is just encouraging people to post more in general (which I appreciate as I was mostly a lurker for my 13 years on Reddit)

I love the avatar replacement script sooo much, but I just wish the icon was consistent between posts from the same person; whether that’s from using the username as a randomizer seed to make it consistent between pages, or just pushing username and generated-icon associations into an object on a per-page basis. As it is, it dramatically decreases accessibility for me, which makes me sad because the parrot brings me joy.

Of course I just wrote all this and realized someone said this exact thing on page two. I suppose I’ll post it anyway just to say, yeah, I’m a user being directly impacted by it; if you can’t figure it out by the time that I’m not deliriously ill then I might take a crack at it myself

I’m not taking this literally, but Tumblr actually does add flashy stuff like this a lot (they added fucking confetti when you make a post. WHY) and it has been hell for my photosensitive friends.

I do think we need any kind of visual feedback though, maybe some sort of accent color. I find myself second-guessing a lot if I actually clicked on a button or not

I would hate this personally. (tho you can take that with a grain of salt, I’m not “from” fedi and I’m still getting used to that voters on a post are viewable at all.) I don’t always upvote things because I love them enough to share, sometimes it’s just like a pat on the back

Retweets are absolutely reversible. (And so are boosts, but it was initially glitched)

I plan on switching instances whenever account transfer becomes feasible! But as it stands right now I’d rather not have to get my account set up all over again for another instance that might potentially go down or make radical changes. That was the very thing that put me off of Mastodon, before they added migration, and I’d rather not repeat that again. (If you have more time and energy than I do, and you’re thinking about manually migrating - absolutely do so)

I’ve been saying this to friends, but I’d be careful with even cursory viewing of Reddit for the foreseeable future. It took a long enough time as it was for Reddit to become not overwhelmingly reactionary. The Reddit migration moving into primarily leftist spaces is going to leave behind a website that is quite literally conservative, and bitter. (Note that I am not suggesting people stay behind to re-balance it, merely to be aware that the site is not going to be just the same site with less people on it.)
