Haven’t been here in a while, feel a bit fomo with the fun topics on relationships I’m too late to comment on, but also, so good to see the community up and going! Reddit and DT just don’t feel the same anymore
Haven't been back in DT for a month now, what's different now?
Fewer engagement, and since most of the old regulars moved away, the vibe is different.
Very dead DT
I have not check/log into Reddit for a week, but I set up daily email digests so I can see trending posts in 5 subs. Agree that the vibe has changed in the main sub.
Woot how's everybody doing..? Nearly forgotten about this place when I failed to login past couple of days
Had a bad week and i think i'm gonna have more for this few day uhuk
How is you?
Did you get locked out or just forgoing password?
sigh made a news post about a certain politician, but deleted it in the end. I found out that he has a track record of cancelling people by contacting abang PDRM to have people and their family arrested for online comments.
I don't want to bring unwanted attention to this instance, nor do i want to sit in Lokap and makan maggi Kari or whatever lokap cuisine they serve there. i most certainly will be too broke to pay for bail also.
malaysia's protection of free speech is extremely poor, there is no human rights charter, and there aren't enough litigious Kyles and Karens living in Malaysia that challenge the constitutional validity of laws that impede free speech for fun so much so that each public organisations (especially police) always have to keep an entire department of lawyers to mitigate the risk of acting beyond what's acceptable. one wrong comment you will really end up in lokap.
Yeah. I have already decided that when i'm ready to do that kinda of thing, it'll be through another instance that is never logged in except through tor, and never left logged in on any device. Lemmy is more dangerous than reddit that way.
Ridiculous. putting more effort than having a porn alt.
Better do it through VPN + a brand new device.
Device can still be tracked. Case in point - reddit permanently device banned me, when authorities compel they will happily give users information to them.
Im new to Lemmy, May I know what makes Lemmy so unsafe?
Instances are only as safe as their admins and providers are. You can see from the hacked instances the other day that some basic steps such as not using the same account for admin use and normal use are pretty alien to new lemmy instance owners. If they fail that - well that doesn't bode well. Years of reddit means safety isn't on your mind if you are not already doing tech work.
And lemmy is only starting to beef up security. At some point lemmy will be hardened against attacks. And admins that have run their instance for years will have their security practices. But let's face it, it is still alpha software.
Tor and VPN should not be used together, you have to pick one. And i'm comfortable with tor.
Heard the Nijigen Expo artist alleys didn't do very well?
I was fairly busy on Saturday so I couldn't attend. I did consider going on Sunday but when I saw the admission price, I just noped. I can understand the pricing, looking at the guests they brought in. But as someone who's only interested in artist alleys, it's too pricey!
CAFKL remains my favorite artist alley event.
I think most people who went were cosplayers and people who went for the guests. The price is just too crazy. The previous Nijigen at bukit jalil was much cheaper.
I got pretty good hauls at the previous Nijigen and road to animangaki so I'm satisfied for now haha. Gotta zip my wallet tight anyway ><
Forgot how good Mad Max: Fury Road was
watched it two times, maybe IQ too low, other than being able to appreciate SFX I have no idea what's going on.
I'm a huge fan of the camera work.
One of my favourite movies of all time. I first watched it on a plane, no expectations at all, and had watched it at least once a year since then
hello from calckey, eagerly awaiting the big announcement they'll be making 2 days later 🎊
Ooo, what would be in that announcement?
a rebranding and a roadmap, among others.
I feel I am starting to prefer using calckey instead of lemmy 🙀 (at least, I am spending much more time on calckey).
Mwahahaha another Calckey convert. (The only thing that keeps it from being my go-to rec over mastodon is performance issues as well as small number of instances... Which can't be too big because of the performance issue lmao)
Interesting. What's better on calckey?
it has a much nicer user interface 🙂
I guess also a lot more buttons to click and explore, but of course, being microblogging software, it lacks mod tools for discussion threads, so probably lemmy mods should not apply 😆.
oh and here's a handy feature that will probably get into lemmy sooner or later, but one that I would like now (and calckey provides it): auto-saving of replies.
in the middle of typing this, I refreshed the page, navigated back to this thread, clicked the reply button, and what I typed before was still there ❤️.
by the way, have you heard that the lemmy devs have started a new ui frontend that may eventually replace the current lemmy-ui?
Huhu, yeah i've noticed that Lemmy's UI and UX is the one that hinder the growth of this platform, and in turn this site, it's just somehow outdated, and the algorithm isn't tweaked to serve huge crowd, lots of clunkiness here and there, where the competitor is just better in terms of UX. When reddit introduce their official app, it's that point people start to use reddit. Hope in the coming one or two month an actual good app can make people stick, and hopefully by the time the other server is livelier, which also help with monyet.cc
My garden got soooooo many millipede i must've killed a lot of them just by walking around 😐
Means you have healthy soil right? Bestnya…
Can't say healthy, just a lot of compost because i have a huge pile just sitting there 🙈
And a lot of grass to hide in because i lazy 🙈
They also like feasting on the potting soil as i see them hanging around my watermelon
Sounds healthy to me! How long will it take until you can harvest it
Idk, maybe a month or so more, it's quite big now but there's still a lot more to grow
I like that we’re both expecting 😂 can’t wait to see your first harvest!
Both are babies 🙈 yeah, really can't wait
Can't wait for yours too 👉👈
I had a millipede infestation at one point too, although they are harmless to mature plants, I noticed that I wasn’t able to germinate any seeds when they were around. I believe they eat sensitive seedlings (though maybe larger seedlings will be ok)
Hmm, yeah they do chomp on those too, since seedling is softened it'vs easier to be eaten. But i usually just germinate in the tray before transplant so i didn't have this problem.
On the bright side, they might be helping you get rid of unwanted weed before they germinate.
Well they did a terrible job then, still a lot of weed in my garden lol
But i appreciate their existence, i like having a healthy ecosystem within the garden, used to be pretty dead just after development.
i'm one of the "lucky" one to be diagnosed with Rosacea, then I saw that my dad has it and my cousin has it as well. probably runs in the family.
my dad keeps saying its shingles, and he keeps going to this folk medicine place to treat it. they snap this rubber band at your ears and saying it kills the "snake". He has pustules, papules and the bulbous noise, then also blame it on yeet hei.
As it ticks every single Rosacea box, GP told him it's rosacea, and referred him to dermatologist. my old man : NOOOO IT'S A COMBINATION OF YEET HEI AND SHINGLES, can only be treated by eating "cold" food and folk medicine for shingles!
I wonder if you could slip2 some proper meds for him to try? Just tell him from some sinseh somewhere...
Rosacea no med, only has a topical steroid cream that works for a day and you apply daily praying that it would go away.
Apparently doctors don’t even know what’s causing rosacea. On women symptoms are better but on man it’s really a very annoying disease, make you look like a monke on heat.
Ohhhh that's tough esp with steroids only providing topical relief right? (Maybe can just say new temple cream... 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️)
nah should tell him it's some chinese cream that could cure yeet hei. create fake whatsapp video saying how good it is, and use a second wasapp account to forward it to me before i forward to him. now he will believe me, now that the information is officially a wasapp disseminated fake news.
I support how complicated your plan is 👌🏽
wow 🤯
what a way to play the generation gap game…
after experiencing loose steering feel i took the CX3 to bengkel, they sort of adjusted the steering rack (for free) and now it's a bit better. the slackness of the steering disappeared somewhat, but the unnatural vagueness is still there.
still knocks a bit if saw the wheel. It will also torque steer under moderate throttle, and i still don't think it's normal but if i drive regularly and let the car settle before pushing it then it's ok.
that said the EPS on the CX3 is surprisingly quite good if you ignore the vagueness, especially when under load. I could also feel the road as it responds to lumps and bumps. The body control is decent if you are willing to be patient and let the chassis settle when pushing.
Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
