A man named Dick Pick invented GIRLS.

This is one reason why I like it here. What annoyed me on Reddit sometimes was discussing "unpopular opinions".

For example on my local subreddit people would constantly argue for more housing density, which is great for affordability but any mention of "but what about transportation infrastructure then" got mercilessly downvoted. I really don't mind people disagreeing in replies but having a whole conversation downvoted and subsequently hidden is annoying. It generally made me not want to comment on Reddit, and just let the hivemind be.

Both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have fantastic sound design. The environmental sounds of wind, water, trees and wildlife accompanied by that understated soundtrack makes you feel out in the wilds even though the graphics are minimal.

Yeah I like OM, and High On Fire too. But Sleep is something special. Hope to see them live one day.

Yeah a solution for the remaining 20% would be great, but we (the US) are not even addressing the urban 80%. I live in the SF Bay Area. It's incredibly dense here, yet riding a bike is impossible/suicidal. It takes me 20 minutes to get to work by car, but 2 hours by bus. This needs to be fixed first before worrying about small town Montana.

According to the 2022 Census 80% of US population lives in urban areas.

If could enable this 80% to use bicycles and public transportation we'd experience a massive shift in public health, energy efficiency and reduced emissions...

A thing I learned from having a Mastodon account for a while, even before the Twitter meltdown, was I can enjoy using it without needing to have everyone there. Lemmy feels like the same way. Yeah maybe I don't see all the good posts, but I don't care. Just Beehaw feels like Reddit maybe 10-15 years ago which I thought was fun too.

Hey Chris. Seeing more and more people from my Mastodon feed here :)

I'm very impressed by Lemmy. Some of the communities like Beehaw have been excellent, even before the recent Reddit API-apocalypse. Self-hosting has been a bit challenging compared to the more mature (I guess) Mastodon but I hope to get it sorted out soon.

A really good artist who's been on Fedi far longer than most.

Not sure if there's a definite timeline. While Ubuntu is Debian-based, as far as I know they handle releases very differently. Often Ubuntu "stable" has a bit more up to date versions of things than Debian "stable".
