I learned to play the guitar growing up as a young rapscallion in Mississippi. But things didn't really take off until I moved to Memphis. There I met the Colonel and the hits just kept coming. Unfortunately, the fame went to my head, I gained a lot of weight, started wearing a white jumpsuit, and ate tranquilizers like they were trail mix. Then, in 1977, I died on the toilet.

Or did I?

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

    That's why I hate the annual "what did you do this year to justify your salary?" reports we have to do. It's like...."Was everyone else able to do their jobs? Yes? Did we get hacked this year? No? Then I was doing my job"

  • How many of the choices you made in high school actually affect your adult life today?

  • Probably most of them, at least in small "butterfly effect" ways. But mostly, I paid attention in class and remember how to think without having to have answers spoon fed to me. So many people I work with, of a variety of age groups, just seem to lack that skill.

    You mentioned home economics, and I only had to take one semester as a required elective (yes, you read that right) and just kind of coasted through it. While I didn't think much of it at the time, but I appreciate knowing how to use a sewing kit to make small repairs. I've patched several holes in my favorite "lounging around the house" robe and extended its life probably 3 times.

    One of many reasons I refuse to interact with accounts less than a week old and/or those that have no other activity history.

  • Any solution for people deleting their asklemmy posts?

  • It's annoying AF, agreed, but there's no provision in the API to do anything about it. That's just how the platform is designed to operate.

    The only things we can do about it are:

    1. Notice who does that frequently and refuse to interact with them (block them, tag them, remember their username, whatever works). If mods notice this, it would be nice if they'd ban those users from the community because what they do IS disruptive to the community.
    2. Optionally, don't interact with accounts younger than a week in the "ask" communities because those are known to self destruct.

    If a user deletes their account or nukes the post, even admins can't restore it as it just says "Permanently deleted"
