Oh man, I think I'm coming down with a case of Explovid-23 on July 24... Better call out sick.

This is Charlie. He's ten years old, quite vocal, and very orange. in c/cat@lemmy.world

I would kill and die for Charlie.

Jame-o to stop the pain-o

Big into tripels at the moment also. There’s a very tasty peach tripel out of Richmond, VA that I’ve been stuck on for a bit.

There’s definitely other instances that are English language now, fwiw.

https://fedia.io comes to mind, at least. I’ve seen a few others floating around.

Does anyone actually use LibreOffice? in c/pop_os@lemmy.world
[–] namesare4squares@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I used LibreOffice exclusively in college — it was a lifesaver for my broke ass, since most of my money went to beer and hobbies (DnD, home severs, guitars, more drinking…)

It got the job done, but I wasn’t doing a whole lot of writing fwiw. Once I got over the whole “save it using the correct format or your professors will fail you” hump, it was everything I needed and more.

Don’t do any writing that isn’t markdown now, and I write that in Vscode or Obsidian these days.

Are you kidding me? I would kill for a user base that over reports.

Better that than the guy who downloads taxformpdf.exe and runs it without a second thought.

Why or? I say unicycling and juggling

What's your recurring nightmare? What do you think it means? (kbin.social)
 

I'm an "unprepared for exam" kind of guy.

I've been out of school for a number of years, but I still have recurring nightmares about finals I didn't know were coming.

Never exactly the same (tonight was an exam on logical operators? which I know pretty well out here in the real world?) but some things are usually constant:

  • I always find out days before a final exam that I was enrolled in a class I needed to graduate, but never attended because I didn't know it was on my schedule
  • I'm always the only person who is unprepared, and the Professor is always cognizant of this fact
  • I always decide not to study in the buildup, and completely wing it (c'mon, dream me! Get it together!)
  • The exam is always "high stakes" -- meaning there will be very negative consequences if I don't pass.
  • The exam room always feels like it's oriented incorrectly -- this one is hard to explain, but do you ever walk into a room and everything is oriented right-to-left instead of left-to-right?
  • I always wake up right as time for the exam runs out, so I never find out the results

And for what it's worth -- I did very well in school. This never happened to me, so I don't know where this one comes from, save for general preparedness-anxiety.

Sometimes I wake up and read up on the topic ... for next time.

What about you, kbeans / Lemmings? What haunts your sleep?

Which browser do you use on iOS? in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world
[–] namesare4squares@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I use Userscripts across iOS Safari and MacOS Safari via an iCloud folder accessible to each. Has made life much easier for me on mobile.

Reddit communities with millions of followers plan to extend the blackout indefinitely in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social
[–] namesare4squares@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Good -- I hope they do. But more than that, I hope that the userbase doesn't return.

I don't care if they choose kbin/Lemmy/Squabbles(?)/Pr0nhub Comment section/Whatever or a combination of those things -- but I hope they don't return to Reddit.

This is an exciting new opportunity for the internet, imo. Why rely on a single point of failure?

Can't wait for his next project -- Christian is a class act, and Apollo was the only thing keeping me on Reddit.
