@sun sometimes I miss the one MMO I was ever addicted to

a good morning: nine more terms added to my politics filter

@tk I didn't have to pay anything for an account there, FWIW. I think a lot of their instances are open access... if I had reasonable amounts of money, I'd donate, but I don't

@tk I can vouch that discuss.tchncs.de and lemmy.sdf.org are well managed

@tk I have accounts on a couple different servers as I tend to shard my identities by interest... are you looking for decent ones?

I made my accounts maybe close to 2 years ago and have used them sporadically between then & now

so as part of quitting slumming on reddit, yesterday I went thru and found some Lemmy-adjacent communities. I already had the Thunder and Voyager clients installed on my phone, so as I use those I'll figure out which I like best.

it's still pretty small, with fairly fragmented communities, in that a given topic might have 6 communities on various instances, 4 or 5 of which are completely or mostly dead. #threadiverse

@sun is that a free service?

I'm actually considering blocking reddit on my router and relying on archive dot org when I come across a search result I need for solving a problem

this is the third goddamn time that pizza cake comic has showed up in my feeds today, it's not funny stop boosting it

@sun @medli glad to hear it!

reading that SNES article makes me want to play Darius Twin while eating Pizza Hut pizza.

last I checked, which was many years ago, Darius Twin was one of the SNES games that was a bit challenging for emulators. probably long since fixed, I don't play games much, especially console games (my fine motor ability is okay for keyboard + mouse, not sufficient for handheld controllers)

@sun people like this are how I know we have 10,000 years to go (at minimum) in the project of building a civilization

this morning I dreamed I was in an Olive Garden, I've never been in an Olive Garden in my life

@tek oh, you've released a tool for this? excellent, now Gargron will make one and present it as his idea in short order. :P

@sun still seeking the rarest of tomboys, emotionally available INFP with high EQ :sad_but_cool:

@sun my introduction to how comfy left-wing Germans think was when "chaos dot social" kicked a Belarussian protester off their instance during Lukashenko's last big crackdown because they couldn't understand the language he was liveposting updates in and therefore couldn't moderate it.

edit: added well-deserved scare quotes

@train I like Linux Mint running Cinnamon, I'm super picky about janky software if that makes any difference

@sun I kind of agree, especially since that version of the character is the one that ended up haunting me occasionally for decades

@sun I don't currently have enough weed to suppress my REM sleep, so maybe this version will visit me during sleep paralyais soon (usually it's the one from the American movie)

@sun that seems like it would be a decent tradeoff to me, as long as I still had plenty of time to hack on 64-bit computers
