Unless something has changed, migrating your account is more like copy/pasting config on a new account. Your post history etc however does not come with it. If that’s something that matters to you then picking the “right” server matters a little bit.

For example lemmy.world has defederated from a bunch of instances (https://lemmy.world/instances) Creating your account there means you’re missing some of the full experience of Lemmy, for better or for worse. A smaller instance may federate more content, but may run slower or worst case stop working entirely if the admin abandons it.

I just used a handful of different servers over the course of a few weeks to see which was my ideal server.

I don’t work for Amazon, but when my employer announced mandatory RTO I simply included travel time in my day. At home I could do 8 hours of pure work. RTO days were about 6 hours of work and 2 hours of commute.

This line of reasoning is baffling anyway. Amazon is spread out over multiple geographical locations, it’s not like remote meeting will go away

Yeah this post hit me different than was probably the intent. I’ve been expecting to get laid off for the past 6 months ago, initially it was fear, eventually it was desire. Didn’t happen though and I’ve since found a new job, but I would have welcomed it if it did.

I’m pretty familiar with how one particular brand of TV works, and you’re right, it’s absolutely not screenshots. It’s a handful of single pixels across the screen. By matching these pixels against known content it’s possible to identify what was being watched. Not too different than how Shazam can identify a song.

That’s not to say all TV manufacturers work that way.

$5.30 for a deluxe, $2.80 for fries.

Dick’s and a taco truck in the same area ($2.50/taco) are my go to cheap but delicious lunch options.

My biggest use case for the deck is to be able to keep playing the same games as I do on my main gaming PC when I go on vacation. This was really put to the test with Cyberpunk 2077 and it worked shockingly well.

That said… it’s definitely not ideal, and it’s generally relegated to similar games like you’re talking about. Peglin, Celeste, etc

Buying the individual albums is still an option. The benefit of renting through Spotify (or any similar service) is that it’s dramatically cheaper than owning the same amount of music.

Just move to Turkey. Start a new job. Find the love of your life. Get married. Have kids. Grow old together, and support your children as they age in to adulthood. Spend your golden years relaxing. Maybe visit some beaches.

Oh yeah, and I guess use your Turkish payment method at some point in there too. I’m guessing at some point in there you got like a credit card or something

At my office, you badge in to any of the side doors, but can walk right through the front door.

So it’s the same problem, but the opposite. Go to the office, don’t badge in, be productive all day. Badging in is not productivity.

I went to college early 2000s. The textbook said something along the lines of “The fastest RAM is 100 MHz”.

DDR was still relatively new then. I took a clipping of an ad showing higher speeds, and he literally claimed I faked the printed ad …

I paid for it when it was bundled with Google Play Music. It felt like a great value.

Too bad they abandoned GPM.

You can have /r/technology and /r/tech and /r/technews etc…

It’s a problem that resolves itself. One community or the other will “win”.

And if not, whatever. On Reddit, my home city has two subreddits. The content between them is slightly different (different mod teams) and the comments on duplicate posts are different. I subscribed to both to see slightly different opinions and avoid echo chamber.

It would be interesting to see numbers from the Digg to Reddit migration. There was a lot of pushback initially. Reddit was “confusing” and “ugly”. I used both for a while but didn’t fully abandon Digg for at least a few months.

Lemmy on the other hand, Reddit made it very easy for me. I’ve been using Sync since at least 2014. Once it went dark I was full Lemmy.

I ran a Synology setup that ultimately I replaced with Unraid. I love the flexibility that Unraid provides, but Synology’s software really is top notch. I’ve pieced together various docker images with Unraid to make something comparable functionality wise, but no where near as integrated or seamless

Ah. I had noticed that lemmy.world’s all seemed different than lemm.ee’s, which in turn was also different than kbin. That’s good to know
