  • I have excellent long-term memory but have always struggled with keeping strings of numbers in my short-term memory. You can imagine the struggle when trying to solve a function is like trying to make a bed with a slightly too small fitted sheet

  • What do you mean beyond terrified? Like not terrified?

  • How do people in cities have fun without spending money at every turn?

  • If you're a musician, look for open mics / open jams and try to make friends in the scene. Musician-organized diy events are cheap and fun. Especially punk events are cheap.If you're interested in art, look for local diy group exhibitions and performances and ask if you can volunteer for support.If you're into hacking/diy look for local repair cafes and ask to volunteer.If you're into rpg go hang out in local game shops and find a group to play with.It really depends on what you consider fun!

  • do you think Lemmy is dead?

  • Try piefed. The frontpage experience is wildly different.

  • On a positive note, they are probably not participating in the future gene pool

  • Interesting that this apparently keeps happening. The article didn't reveal too much otherwise.

  • is Lemmy the most popular 'Reddit Alternative'?

    Jump

  • Subjectively speaking, after switching to Piefed I feel like "the internet is back".

    Engaging conversation, good tools for filtering the front page to your liking, and the audience seems generally speaking more mature. I do expect that to change if the platform grows in size.

  • What would you consider to be the 7 browser extension Wonders of the World/Internet?

  • Pocket used to be on my list, but it was unfortunately shut down. Now Joplin web clipper took its place. I still miss Pocket.

  • I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C

  • This article was right up my alley. I've been considering buying a cheapo smartwatch. I suppose this one couldn't be used as a mp3 player for jogging though.

  • UK:  X's design and policy choices created fertile ground for inflammatory, racist narratives targeting Muslims and migrants following Southport attack

  • Glad to hear I'm not alone with these thoughts!

    I propose, as a counter movement, automatic engagement; Instead of "liking" or "upvoting", leave a comment every time you see something you support. And try to abstain from commenting on ragebait or otherwise intentional attention seeking. If enough people start doing this, the algorithm should start adapting to prefering more substantial or positive material, right? I know it sounds naive, but worth a shot!

  • The problem with regulation is that most of these data giants are US companies, and due to regulatory capture since the 1980s you can't expect much to change there.

  • Amazing! I did not expect that outcome from my comment

  • I'm no expert, but I feel like anywhere they use an algorithm to drive up "engagement" it leads into people being fed rage-bait and then them acting accordingly. This "attention economy" needs to end somehow.

  • That function doesn't seem to function properly btw. I have tried with "meme" and "politics" and communities with those words in them still keep popping into my feed on PieFed.
