I'm in Lemmy and Mastodon. I left Twitter for good about a week after the Tesla guy acquired it and made his first flex on the app. I don't even remember what it was, but I didn't want to be a part of his toy, and all he has done is prove me right over and over. I left Reddit within a couple days of the announcement that mobile app developers were getting screwed, and I'd essentially have to switch to the native app to use a full-featured Reddit. It seemed like a crappy thing to do since developers like LJ Dawson (Sync), the Relay person, etc are who really built Reddit since Reddit was slow to get into apps.

I use Discord but only because it's what's required for a gaming guild, and my dynasty fantasy baseball league uses it too. I have no interest in using it outside of that.

I've never really used Youtube, so I haven't checked out Peertube. Likewise, I never really used Insta, so I haven't looked that closely at Pixelfed. I'm considering Pixelfed since I'm a hobby photographer, but I share my pics on my personal website (I don't care who sees them tbh, it's fun for me) and on my FB. I can't seem to shed FB with so many people I know using that to stay in touch and schedule events, and the Marketplace is leagues better than Craigslist.

I got tired of jumping around between streaming services to get deals and save money. I noticed that a couple major music streamers seemed to collude to raise rates at the same time, and I'm tired of that. I'm setting up my Plex server with some Black Friday deals and am looking forward to enjoying having that at my disposal.

My exact reaction too. They're just steamrolling civilians in Gaza. I guess our relationship with them as an armed ally in the area is more important than some light genocide.

Just my opinion, but we knew this would happen eventually. I'm in my 40s and remember hearing enough about Israel in my teens and 20s that I've always thought of them as the "wish a motherfucker would" type. And here we are.

We'll figure it out together. If we don't comment and post content, I fear that we'll never really sustain the kind of success we hope to replicate from the other place.

I would say that something slower and more painful is in order, but he's old, and frankly, expediency benefits us all at this point.

Stab 'em a couple times with a fork and throw 'em in a microwave. Low effort, above-average food.

I remember using Netscape (my Google keyboard didn't know that word) before Firefox and SeaMonkey. I mostly used SeaMonkey to edit HTML and Firefox for my casual browsing.

Used market used to be better-priced, but I felt it was sketchy unless you were handy or "knew a guy" who could repair it. I decided years ago to only buy new so that I knew it was well-maintained and not abused. I make payments into a savings account and pay cash, or if the best offer is a financing offer, I'll take the financing and either make payments or pay it off right away, depending on whether my savings interest is outperforming the rate of the loan. I only buy pretty basic things. Last car was a base model 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer. I'm in a 2022 Honda HR-V now. My next car will probably be something that takes advantage of the EV tax credit before it expires in 2032. Wife and I share one car, for what it's worth, since we work in the same place.

This sounds much easier than creating a society where people feel happy and secure enough to have families. I wonder when 45 will add this to his campaign checklist.
