Kids have always had wild career dreams, it’s not new it’s just a different medium. It’s fine. I’m not sure it’s a conscious decision to escape the grind though. I grew up with kids who wanted to be movie stars or athletes. Why? Because they idolised movie stars and athletes and want to be like them. It’s what they’re exposed to the most. Now kids are exposed to influencers the most, so they wanna be one too.
I wanted to be a train driver 🚂
If a community exists solely to hate on others, even as a joke, eventually it won’t be a joke.
Maybe I just don’t get the appeal though.
Sorry if this was answered elsewhere, but does that mean Beehaw automatically federates with new instances and only the explicit Blocklist can’t? I was toying with the idea of maintaining my own single user instance for stability but don’t want to run the risk of being excluded if it goes private in the future.
Out of frame someone has their foot gently placed on the bottom step. Proper safe.
I subscribe to communities that I’ve a specific interest in but mostly browse by all. There are times I might want to post to a specific place so being subscribed makes that easier, and as Lemmy fills up I think I’m more likely to start using subscribed instead of all. Right now new communities are being created frequently and there’s also not enough posts happening on my subscribed communities to make it worth while yet, but it will soon enough.
I think subscriptions works best when you keep it small. Like you say, if you subscribe to everything then it’s no different to all, except you miss some potentially interesting new communities.
One of the things I like about Beehaw is that it doesn’t try to be a new Reddit, it has a core philosophy the admin team all support, and as long as you make decisions based on that core philosophy, you can’t go far wrong.
Sure, some decisions might drive people away. But if they disagree with the core philosophy, is that a bad thing? Quality over quantity - servers can be scaled up and down as the number of people (and donations) fluctuate.
As long as Beehaw remains a place you can be proud of, I wouldn’t worry about anything else.
Aah I see, there’s a Facebook group called Yorkshire Stitching Retreats that she joined but she’s not been to any yet. Tickets sell out pretty fast unfortunately.
Really weird seeing Guisborough mentioned on the internet… it was only a couple of weeks ago I was there!
Sadly not, I actually tried eating a vegetarian diet the start of the year but it became flexitarian after a month. Parmos are one of the exceptions I allow myself when I’m back in teesside.
also my wife happens to be a cross stitcher too! She wants to know if you’ve been to any of the craft retreats in the area and if you’d recommend any?
Haha wow, I’m actually from teesside. I moved further south (but still north Yorkshire) about five years ago though. Now if you’re in the country there’s a strong chance you’re not far away from my hometown. Miss the parmos all the time.
Small world!
Nice! East or West, if you don’t mind saying?
Aah nice, not one I’ve used myself, but I try to avoid the frontend as much as possible anyway haha. Looks good though. Svelte is the last one I tested. I found it easy to get to grips with.
It is Arch, it is supposed to be a more user-friendly experience. I think I’d agree with that too, it works just as well as Mint out of the box, maybe even a little better.
What’s the web framework you’re looking at?
Thanks! I tried out Mint years ago, and I can’t remember what it was that pushed me back to Windows. A lot has changed since then (for Linux and for me) so I thought it was worth giving it another go. Manjaro is great so far though.
Congratulations, good luck! Remember not to swear at your bosses
Overall, it’s a good start. I’m making progress in the garden, I started playing around with Linux (making this comment from a Manjaro VM, wanted to test it out before I install it to a drive) and the weather has been great.
Work-wise is dreadful. A lot of people got laid off recently, and while I am one of the lucky few to remain, it has sent my stress levels through the roof trying to keep things operational. I don’t want to jump ship and leave the other remaining devs in an even worse position though, so I’ll be seeing it through until I’m sent to the chopping block.
Luna, not chosen by us but it felt wrong changing her name when we got her. She’s had a tough life but she doesn’t show it!
As someone also mentioned scrambled tofu is a great replacement for scrambled eggs. Any type will work but silken works best in my opinion.
That said though, you don’t have to cut eggs out completely to make a positive impact on the environment or animal welfare. Locally sourced free range eggs will be better than supermarket in those regards, and probably taste better too.
Some really good points I hadn’t considered there.
I think it’s important that the medical professionals do not use such terminology and instead try to be as neutral as possible, e.g. “coping with” or “receiving treatment for”. If a patient wants to say they’re fighting cancer, that’s up to the patient. For some it might help them feel like they have a bit of control over a situation where they’re powerless, for others it might make it worse.
I loved them, I miss them dearly, but no, I don’t think they’ll come back.
A lot has changed and the internet is not the same, for better and for worse. For one, it’s just a lot bigger. You’d think that’d make it easier, but it seems to make it harder. There’s too much noise for the communities to stand out, so what usually happens is one or two get huge and the others dwindle and die. Even just look at Lemmy, through no fault of your own, Beehaw is becoming one of the largest instances and it requires active work to spread the weight across the rest of the federation. People gravitate I guess.
Plus, because it’s so much bigger, there’s less of an identity in the spaces that do survive. Post in any reddit thread, then go to another. Chances are nobody’ll be the same (except for a few superusers) so there’s no real sense of belonging or community that the old forums had. Back then you trolled your friends, not strangers.
