every time I see MTG I have a moment of "what the literal fuck does a card game have to do with this?"

how does that work - I mean, who's paying the bills for the instance if it's unmoderated? weird

when I try to view "show context" of messages in my inbox in a new tab, the page fails to load (ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE).

when I view "show context" by opening it in the same tab, it directs to the reply but then when I try to click on the "show context -->" link, the page does nothing.

this functionality was working fine prior to whatever happened that broke comments a few days ago (ddos or whatever it was) & it's stayed broken.

anyone else having similar issues?

eh, you're free to retire in your mid 30s. it's easy. i retired in my late 30s, then went back to work again when I ran out of money a few years later. it was nice, i look forward to retiring again.

you need to pair that with some hotdog flavored soda.

smoking. growing up in the 80s, everyone was smoking - in bars, restaurants, airplanes, even hospitals.

everyone I knew, their parents smoked tobacco or chewed tobacco. I started smoking myself, around 16 or so, as did all of my friends & even people I didn't associate with. it was just part of the culture - and yes, I was aware at the time that it was a dangerous activity, but kids are stupid.

and then around 15 years ago or so everyone stopped or switched to vaping. now I really only see homeless people smoking. it's quite the culture shift.

on pc in chrome:

  • if I try to check my messages & then mark as read, then go back to https://lemmy.world/ in a new tab, I'm signed out.
  • when this occurs, when I try to sign in again it says "logged in" but it doesnt and I cant access my account or subscribed communities, make comments, etc. however, when I close the browser window and open a new one, I'm autosigned into https://lemmy.world/
  • already deleted site specific cached data, history for the week, even all cached settings for the week across all sites. issue still occurs.

issue doesnt occur in voyager (chrome) on my android phone.

no issues on any other sites on pc in chrome that I can find.

is https://lemmy.world/ borked again?

why does avoiding political discussion have to be the metric for "genuine conversation"? seems a bit biased and smallminded.

saw the post about "The Refrigerator" and thought... "what about junk drawers?" - we've all got one. some of us have more than one ;)

post images of your Junk Drawer, discuss junk, etc.

I tried to like Invidious, I really did but it's just awful. it's basically painful to use as it is now. I've tried to play around with various combinations of settings and browsers and cant find any combination where the video doesnt either:

  • take a few minutes to launch
  • fail to buffer every 30 seconds or so

sometimes it'll do both or get "stuck" and then wont buffer at all, or skip frames and then the audio is out of sync with the video - it usually gets stuck at that point though. is there some magic trick that folks use to make it at least moderately usable? or is it just vaporware?

as it is, I'm just going to go back to youtube. it works & works really well. the only thing I found useful about invidous was the ability to export the channels I subscribed to as xml/json. there's better downloaders, I just dont see the draw for this utility.

there's a ukraine/russia one so I figured I'd ask.
