“Reddit sucks the butt.”

-SplashJackson, 2024

Good luck. It has certainly helped me.

Never had a calculator watch, let alone a collection of broken ones.

I’m techie enough to be interested in federated social media networks. I’m techie enough to start using Linux. Ain’t that enough techie?

This place feels like a breath of fresh air. It genuinely helped me cut down on social media usage.

I browse Reddit anonymously nowadays on a web browser. I still absolutely hate the experience. It lags way too much, videos suddenly become “no longer available”, spend enough time and it will yell at you again for getting the app as if it didn’t when you first opened the site (at least it’s not as insistive as Instagram, an even worse website), that new logo reeks of Discord and Android having a baby, and not to mention, comments with a negative karma score are automatically hidden for whatever reason.

I only continue browsing that site to catch up with some communities with no real equivalent on Lemmy.

Have you read the Wayside School books? I haven’t.

Have you watched the cartoon that was based off them? I actually have. And idk, I actually kinda liked it. To me, this is the fun type of “junk food cartoon”. A fun time waster if you will.

Maybe one day I’ll grab one of the books to really figure out if they’re that better than the cartoon adaptation. Maybe the latest one (Wayside School Beneath the Cloud of Doom) will wow me.

The MacBook Wheel. Imagine how disastrous this product would be if it actually happened.

Not to mention that was the first time I discovered the Onion.

PS5 Pro: PRObably not for you

I tried that when I first got here last year. I’ll spill the beans, you simply can’t do it. Despite both Mastodon and Lemmy supporting the ActivityPub protocol, they are different platforms. You can exchange posts and comments and whatnot, but you can’t use an account from one platform to log into another.

Just like email, you can’t log into Proton Mail with a Gmail account, and vice versa, despite both platforms being able to exchange emails (because duh, that’s how email works).

I hope that explains everything.

Find people with similar hobbies as you on a particular community online. Back when I was active on Reddit, I had made two friends this way. Unfortunately, after the whole API shaboink, I left Reddit, and lost contact with one of them.

This was the best decision of my life.

I don’t close my curtains when I sleep, because that way, I can actually see the sunshine (or clouds) when I wake up. Bright stuff tends to make me attentive.

I was forced into taekwondo, never got past the white belt. And frankly, I was never interested to get a new belt anyway.

The only skills I still remember from that isn’t even the self defense stuff, but it’s counting in Korean.

Always glad to help.

No, it’s not Spacetoon. Everyone and their dog knows that by this point.

Just put jcctv.net in the Wayback Machine (find an archive before 29 March 2013) and you’ll see what I mean.

I believe Baraem was one of its sister channels?

They simply hate us.

Get every animal you can think of and make an orchestra out of them. It may not sound that amazing but it sure is a pretty cool idea.

Just be careful, some of them might feed on you. So… avoid those ones.

They had a children’s channel that unfortunately no longer exists. I was lucky enough to watch it when I had the chance.

Yes, it was THAT Al Jazeera.

You’re making great progress.
