It's getting ridiculous though like even gas stations are starting to ask. Like sorry why should I leave a tip to get a Snickers and bottle of water rung up?

Actually I just started doing this and got a 7 DVD changer. Same as what I spend in a month for all these random streaming services.

Which is interesting to say the least given that most cars from the past few years use LTE radios which will eventually work about as well as cars from the early 2000s with OnStar.

PO boxes never fulfilled that requirement I don't know why people think you can use a PO box on your driver's license or vehicle registration. They want a physical domicile where the government can come and govern you.

DMV: "Sir your van cannot be registered using itself as the address"

I feel like EEAAO was somehow engineered to get people to say they like it for no particular reason, it almost feels like they made a movie that would be a social faux pas to say you didn't like it. But actually I found it super boring and it remains a mystery to me why top rated movies are what they are.

More than full retail most of the time! They're not even bothering to compete with Walmart or Target anymore on the same products.

Oh and I love when I sort by price and half the results disappear.

It's no exaggeration sometimes it takes a dozen different how-to blogs and stack overflows to find an example where somebody has exactly what you need and nothing more. So many people add so much fluff and unusual structures that the thing they're claiming the code does can't even be found.

Public domain? Creative commons? MIT? BSD? GPL? You mean I'm allowed to use these things without failing?

Can't believe this song is already like 4 years old

 

Phonk trance type song

 

If you're going to listed to any Mac Demarco song, it's this one.

 

The vibe of Faces has always been my favorite of all his albums, and it also marks a clear transition in his career and music style. So glad it is finally on Spotify!

 

I want to setup a wiki as a new Lemmy user guide that lists the popular instances we federate with and their popular communities so people can easily find their interests and start posting. How can I do this on Lemmy so that other people can edit?

 

Once upon a time, in the bustling digital realm, there existed a popular forum site called Ribbit. It was a vibrant platform where people from all walks of life gathered to discuss their interests, share knowledge, and connect with like-minded individuals. Ribbit was the go-to destination for online discussions, and its loyal users considered it their virtual home.

However, as time passed, Ribbit's popularity began to wane. Users grew frustrated with the platform's increasing number of intrusive advertisements, biased moderation, and lack of transparency. They longed for a place where they could freely express themselves without fear of censorship or manipulation. Their discontent simmered, waiting for the right moment to ignite.

One day, a visionary programmer named Lily decided it was time for change. Inspired by the dissatisfaction surrounding Ribbit, she embarked on a mission to create a decentralized social media platform that would empower its users. After months of dedication and collaboration with a team of talented developers, Toady was born.

Toady aimed to provide an alternative, a sanctuary where individuals could engage in meaningful conversations, share ideas, and form genuine connections without sacrificing their privacy or facing the tyranny of algorithms. It was a platform built by the people, for the people.

News of Toady's launch spread like wildfire throughout the digital landscape. Tired of the frustrations on Ribbit, users flocked to Toady in droves, eager to be part of this new chapter. The migration was swift, leaving Ribbit with nothing but echoes of its once-thriving community.

Toady flourished as a decentralized haven, free from the clutches of corporations and power-hungry moderators. The platform was designed to be transparent, with every decision made by the community through a democratic voting system. It nurtured an atmosphere of respect, where diverse voices were encouraged and celebrated.

The success of Toady reverberated across the internet, inspiring others to question the status quo and work towards a fairer digital landscape. Competing centralized social media platforms began to feel the tremors of change, and some even adopted aspects of Toady's model in an attempt to keep up with the shifting tides.

As the years passed, Toady grew into an online utopia, its name becoming synonymous with freedom, privacy, and genuine human connection. Lily, the visionary behind its creation, marveled at the impact her creation had on the digital world. She had given people a voice, a platform where their thoughts and opinions mattered.

Ribbit, once a bustling online community, faded into obscurity, a relic of a bygone era. Its demise served as a reminder that true power lies not in centralized authority but in the collective strength of individuals united for a common cause.

And so, the story of Ribbit and Toady became a symbol of hope and change, reminding us all that no matter how large or influential a platform may be, the voice of the people can always rise above.
