Truthfully, never, I’m always honest, but I’m also an advocate for data poisoning and obfuscation. One of these sentences is false.

Scented candles in my office. Makes my work feel much more cozy and less stressful.

Just the man who prompted this question

LOL I don’t see why not!

MacOS Sonoma, released Fall 2023, is available on iMac Pro, released in 2017. That’s the oldest they support, but even the lower-tier MacBook Air and Mac Mini models are supported back to the 2018 models. That’s six and five years.

Fuck Apple and their greedy business tactics, but let’s not just spread false information either.

Where did people use to share their emails to be contacted by strangers?

This is exactly the advice in Voltaire’s Candide. Cultivate your own garden, OP.

This is super helpful, thank you very much.

It was actually easy to create it (I’m on lemm.ee instance) the hard part is I think just being able to maintain engagement.

Agreed! I started a community a couple days ago and I also browsed through the descriptions of other communities to get an idea of what we should put in one (I have no experience moderating subreddits or anything like that) and I found that many had little to nothing in the sidebar.

Is Android a valid answer? Maybe not Google’s monstrosity but AOSP (although I feel as though it’s hard to extricate one from the other save for projects like GrapheneOS).

I had a crush on a girl during the last few months of my last semester in undergrad (we were both going to grad school in different states). Beautiful and smart, we talked a lot during class discussions, we texted each other once in a while. This girl had me daydreaming while driving and cheesing hard while singing to pop songs with the windows rolled down. So I decide to ask her out. We meet up at a coffee shop, turns out the coffee shop is closed but we walk over to an ice-cream shop and talk and flirt for hours. We hug goodbye and I’m beaming on my way back home. We continue texting back and forth for a few days and I decide to ask her out once again. I ask if Saturday works for her and she replies that she’s going to be celebrating her third anniversary with her boyfriend on Saturday but maybe Sunday would work. I had no idea she had a boyfriend, so needless to say, that went nowhere. Or rather, we both went our separate ways and I’m still considering reaching out once I’m done with grad school.

They absolutely do! I don’t understand the snobbery against audiobooks. When Borges lost his sight he had to have books read to him, and just consider the amazing stories he came up with (and the literary devices he developed) to make up for his blindness.

Last year I was on a road trip and we stopped by a convenience store in the middle of nowhere. Bought so many Fujifilm 200 rolls since they were like $2 each. No clue why they were so cheap, they were even 36-negative rolls.

I was recently reading Scalzi too! His blog is great too.

I have not, but I’ll check it out. Thanks!

Not familiar with royal road, what’s that?

I do for niche communities, especially those for reading / books / literature. There’s fewer of those here on Lemmy, and the ones in languages other than English are nonexistent.
