Hope it helps. There are whole categories of self hosted software I hadn’t thought of before. Maybe I should try some of them! 😁

The last week or so:

Don’t Tell Your Wife About This Game

Depends on how prescriptive you want it to be. Plenty of free form types where you can log all your stuff.

If you’re looking for a program, for strength training I recommend Mark Rippetoe’s Starting Strength. They made an app for it now, too. It’s a one-time purchase, includes an interactive copy of the book, and is ad-free. I’m a fan.

Gas stove. Literally playing with fire every time I need to light the front left burner. Usually I have to let enough gas come out to have the neighboring burner’s igniter light it up. I keep my distance just in case.

Can’t let people know they were actually almost as powerful as the current overpriced silicon.

They have to look good to advertisers. And the megacorps of the world need to be sure their brands are not associated with anything “controversial” so they can appeal to as many Americans as possible.

Discord server

Have you seen the “Rather be Russian than a Democrat” t shirts?

Reddit doesn’t deserve our content. I’m sorry that it is inconvenient, truly I am.

That’s one for sure.

Edit: but not the biggest culprit for me

A few episodes of Futurama. You can guess which ones.

“AI is woke.”

CEOs haven’t realized they’re actually the people that are easiest to replace with AI.

Mostly yes: In a sense, doing anything “permanently and forever” is a big deal. People can change and grow, and a full permanent ban without any opportunity for appeal seems harsh. Very few things should warrant a permaban: one example that comes to mind is willfully attempting to circumvent a temporary ban. Posting spam, too.

Also no: Lemmy isn’t and shouldn’t be a critical part of anyone’s life. If you were forever banned from it, maybe it’s okay.

Cute game even has a cute in-universe explanation for the bug.

Nah nothing that cool. A megacorp that has so much influence that it doesn’t need a military of its own. It knows everything it needs to about everyone, can sway public opinion as it wishes, and will continue to enmesh itself into every aspect of private and public life. It produces no products. We are the products, and we are the consumers.

And it’s already here: Google, Meta, whatever Elon Musk is doing idk.

Some way of linking to a post somewhere on Lemmy that will open up the post in your logged in instance of Lemmy.

Oh I didn’t mean you should move it! I meant that the post is an example of an awesome discussion and high level of helpfulness which should be linked over and celebrated in [email protected]
