What’s big, flat, and green and if it falls from a tree on you it will kill you?

This one has been my favorite since I was single digits years old.

I used to have this yellow dress that I loved and I am pretty sure I accidentally donated it like 10 or 15 years ago, but every 6 to 10 months or so I still think about that dress.

Thank you friend for that tip, I am going to look in to this.

A no soliciting sign doesn’t stop solicitors, so I don’t see why a welcome mat should have any more power.

Here is my take - They are adding a new metric called “Engaged Views”, this is the same metric that a “View” was previously, something like - the person stayed after 30 seconds so they are “engaged”. Then they are going to sell ads based on the now inflated view number and use the “Engaged view” metric against creators so they can cut the amount they are paying for monetization.

First time I saw a photo of one of these I didn’t think it was real. This was pre-AI, I thought it was photoshopped because it was so colorful.

I can still see it while not logged in but I assume it is only a matter of time. https://old.lemmy.world/ ftw

Yea, I got to agree, I am a paying Proton customer and I really like the product, I like the privacy first, all encryption, I like that they aren’t using ads to monetize and I don’t mind having a paid account if it supports them having free accounts. Honestly, there is a lot of good things they could be putting out there as great PR for Proton but between this and that French Youtuber this year, this marketing team is striking out left and right.

I think if I am presented with an are you a robot captcha check box every 10 refreshes on lemmy.world for being on a VPN, that is the least we can do for bots.

oh hell, and its gran to you, youngster.

Oh yes, the bot spam coming from non logged in users is a serious problem, totally get it.

Love that they don’t allow comments on blog posts, because they know its just going to be a bunch of ppl saying fuck spez

I joined reddit during the great digg migration almost a decade ago a hell of a lot longer than that ago. Joined Lemmy a few years ago but it wasn’t quite scratching that itch.

Finally made the switch to https://old.lemmy.world/ (and changed my default sort to be “new comments”) while I am at work and I got to say - its working, I feel like I am going back to old reddit when I take my breaks and it was really just the habit and familiarity of the layout that kept me going back there.

I have accounts on several instances, so I just block all the same things for each.

I did a couple things to make my life comfy here.

I changed my default sort to be “new comments” - this gave me the biggest perspective change on Lemmy, I now see where the active conversations are and it makes the place feel more full of people and less pages and pages of empty threads. I also found a lot less political stuff this way, because it gets posted a lot but people only interact with just a few of the political posts, so only those one end up floating to the top. I am finding myself getting less politics this way on Lemmy than I was on reddit. Also has the added bonus of highlighting where the active communities are.

I blocked Lemmy.ml and hexbear. A lot of the wilder leftist stuff comes from them and once it was blocked I saw the amount of politics in my feed drop right away.

I like the color choices. A tip for painting with painters tape, if you paint the base color first over the tape, after that dries, paint the contrasting color on top of that, Then remove the tape.

You will get crisper lines, because the bleed with happen with the base color on to the base color, not the contrasting one.

Here is a video that shows how this works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGJGesuD1Vk

I always opt for something you can eat or drink if they say they don’t want gifts. That way it won’t clutter anything up and you were still able to give them something. So if not the beer, some candies or maybe a tray of smoked salmon would be a good idea. Or if the place you are visiting has some type of specialty, like a local spice or fruit, maybe that.

Nice, this was really needed and looks great! The only thing it is missing for me from proton pass is a button autofill option from the extension, so I can disable the form pop up autofill.

This 100%. Everything you write on any of these chats, anything you write in email, anything you exchange digitally can be monitored if it is not end to end encrypted. People are way too ignorant about it. Just because you can’t search your chat history up on Google doesn’t mean you aren’t being tracked, recorded and monitored.
