Same! I went with CF because I refuse to ever use SquareSpace because they have ads in every podcast

I'm like 99% sure that name recognition is one of the two important reasons people vote for a candidate; the other is party affilation.

One of my favorite gaming tropes! Part of me wishes it was more common, but then a different part remembers that the novelty would wear off.

Hypnospace Outlaw! The whole game is basically just being a mod of an alternate universe Geocities.

Then there's Kingsway; it's a Rougelite RPG where everything is controlled with a Windows 9x/Mac Classic parody.

What was extra annoying about was even though the applications I work on are already multi-region; we still had a couple of transitive dependencies on us-east-1 that held things up a bit. And of course, their status page never said anything about the outage.

Last day a sprint for me too, lol. At least we weren't in the middle of any big releases. Hope everything went okay on your end.

TL;DR usernames in the new system are more like friend codes than usernames; Discord should treat them as such

I like pretty well. I've been on reddit for over a decade now, and the UI on Lemmy is kinda like a combination of the good parts of old and new reddit to me.

People here are nice (maybe that's because my home instance is Beehaw...); and I like the small community.

Lol, same. I look forward to more screenshots; there's some great stuff there that needs a wider audience.

I never really participated in the reddit Tumblr communites beyond seeing the occasional post on /r/popular

This is part of why Voat (pre fatpeoplehate ban turning it into a right wing shit hole) was a ghosttown. The majority of the active communities there were just complaining about different aspects of reddit instead of trying to share and discuss content.

Stardew Valley is really lightweight and Linux native.

Since you mentioned battery being an issue and that you just switched to Linux, have you looked into using TLP or Powertop to try doing some tweaks to squeeze out a bit more? It's been years since I've used Linux on a laptop, but that's what I used.

Saw this recommended by Pocket in the newtab page and it caught my eye. Was a decent read and I thought people here might like it.

Me kinda? I'm adjacent. I think. I've been in and out as a lurker in the fandom for the past decade or so. I still don't have a sona... mostly because I can't decide what species.

Reddit has always been full of teenagers. But it's gotten "worse" over the past few years. Or maybe I (we've?) just gotten older. I don't remember reddit being like this 10 years ago; but I was 10 years younger, and a teen too.
