The best community search I know of is Lemmy Explorer. I found [email protected] but it doesn’t seem active. There are probably more if you’re willing to spend more than the 30 seconds I did on it.

Is it because, like me, you’d often type out full replies on Reddit, then decide at the last moment to not post it out of fear of becoming troll food?

I like that they’ve read the memo about fediverse projects being named after animals, but firefish doesn’t fit. They should have gone with Coelacanth or something like that… but easier to spell.

Just a few steps from “My secret police will now ‘explain’ to you just how not fascist I am.”

They always spend like an hour in the hallways outside the Penn and Teller Theater after shows meeting fans. The people who crowd around Teller are often magicians because he is notoriously generous when it comes to helping other magicians. They both are really, but I think a majority of successful magicians in the US have a trick in their repertoire that Teller helped out with in some way or another.

I just love that, after being silent all show, he comes out and talks enthusiastically with fans and colleagues.

The only celebrities that I met and had a moment to converse with were Nathan Fillion and Jon Huertas.

My wife and I met them at a release event for a small electric car company in 2011 or 2012. I had just gotten a copy of “Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along blog: The Book” and it was the first time he had seen it. So basically we flipped through the book together and Nathan pointed out things in pictures and talk about who made them or what they were made of.

One copy of of anything isn’t a backup, it’s a move. Yes, in this case, Google is doing its own backups but you’re giving them all the trust and control.

I don’t think this game has much replayability. Especially as the server is becoming less and less stable.

Mallrats. And the director’s commentary is good too.

I’ve always enjoyed the cover flow of trackers that the duckduckgo extension shows

An evil like this can only be destroyed in the heart of a volcano.

They’ve been using cluster bombs since the first day of the war. He might as well have said they’ll invade Ukraine “if they have to.”

Its a cyclic calandar and the last major cycle ended. If there were still ancient Mayans maintaining the calendar they would have calculated another major cycle.

Lemmy trends burn bright and fast.

Bob’s burgers is on in the background at my house quite a lot.

This is warning showing why spreading out is important. No one instance being offline should be able to affect so many Motorheads at once.

I learned the basics of 3D printing and Fusion 360 (CAD software) via youtube. And the 3D printing has gotten easier since I learned.

In the 90’s before I was doing it professionally, I used to go on massive 10 - 15 hour binge programming sessions only stopping when I realized I hadn’t eaten in that entire time. It was some of the best fun I’ve ever had. But it happened rarely and organically, not 5 days a week on a predetermined schedule.

Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.

1. Every day is a day I’d rather have off.
2. It ruined the thing I loved (programming) for me

I’m sure this won’t have any chilling effects amongst the researchers who keep us all safe.

Edit to add that Johnson & Johnson is/was also trying to use patent loopholes to make sure poor people die from tuberculosis; until the internet got mad.
