Working great! And Jerboa too.

@sunaurus@lemm.ee Thank you so much for all of the hard work you're putting in here!

Any data folks on lemm.ee? Should I join a different instance? in c/meta@lemm.ee

This makes sense - still getting my feel for how this works!

This is great 😂

I am down to talk about anything honestly - but just off the top of my head right now:

Can you think of a good analogy to explain databases to complete beginners?

The ole 'filing cabinet' analogy is used a lot but I am looking for something fresh. The students will be epidemiologists / public health people that are very science literate but not necessarily tech-savvy.

Interesting post! I really hope you're wrong lol (I love SQL).

What's the deal with lemmit.online? in c/meta@lemm.ee

Seems confusing to me too - but yeah hoping the Reddit replication noise drops off here after the API changes (and that everyone moves to Lemmy!)

What do you do when you’re really f’king angry? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Go scream at the top of your lungs somewhere loud like a busy highway overpass. Weirdly works!

Similar situation here - working in data and struggling to turn off the thoughts! I'm going to try meditation too.

Thanks for sharing! I really want to get my family on Matrix now.

We have not been able to find a solid chat/video call app that the entire family (various ages and tech aptitude) can effectively use. We've been bouncing around to various apps since COVID lockdowns started. We had been using Slack for a while but the video calling in Slack is unusable now.

I'm wondering the same thing.

I am a long time signal user but I just started using Matrix yesterday and now I'm very curious about whether Signal or Matrix is better somehow in terms of security/privacy.
