Watson also voted for Donald Trump, believing the businessman would bring change. She dismissed his campaign pledges to scrap the Affordable Care Act as bluster.

“I’ll give it a little more time,” she said. “But I’m not really sure about Trump anymore.”

My sibling's delightful ex-roommate--a conservative, 20something, middle-class, cishet white man--said that he feels very oppressed in their college town! He's always scared of saying what he thinks bc then everyone will think of him badly! Literally the most oppressed! (His actual words)

Seconding Stremio! Just had to install the Torrentio add-on and even my tech-challenged mom can use it on her Android TV with no problems. I also got her a RealDebrid account (9 EUR/6 months iirc, completely optional) so she doesn't have to deal with torrent seeds etc.

As someone who's had a single-user Mastodon instance for two years now: I love it. It's definitely not for everyone, for reasons mainly stated in the article. However, if you like a more personal, highly-curated federated timeline, a single-user instance is great.

I 90% use Mastodon to keep up with my friends' posts and see art and animal pictures (and I hate interacting with strangers LOL), so I curate my instance to only subscribe to them. For the remaining 10%, I have a secondary account on a larger instance for when I want to read the news etc. It's worked well for me, but again, it's surely not for everyone!

I hate selfies, so whenever I'm on vacation I just take pictures of my surroundings but never with me in it. Once, my cousin wanted to see my vacation pics, so I showed them to him. He then asked why I'm not in any of them. When I said I didn't think it was necessary, his genuine confused reply was, "But how do people know you were really there, then?"

It's really insane out there.

It's not a cop, it's Captain Pikachu from the anime.

Japanese Misskey/Mastodon servers have also been spammed by the exact same thing since about 15 hours ago, and it's still going. I guess they're targeting Lemmy as well now, damn...

Indonesian does; kiri (left) and kanan (right). "Ki" and "Ka" are usually used in texts (e.g., for captions in newspaper/magazine articles), but for headphones, contact lenses, etc it's normally just L/R.

Personally I find both sides a bit grating, but moreso the anti-Sync crowd lol.

I used Sync for Reddit and paid for lifetime, but after a while I found that I liked Infinity better, so I switched. I'm now using Infinity for Lemmy and probably won't use Sync for Lemmy, but people who are using Sync (and paid for it)? Good for them. No need to tell them, "Haha you're a sucker for paying for something when there are free alternatives!!", you lose absolutely nothing by other people using Sync or other proprietary apps.

Let people use what they want, jfc.
