    What's your hair length & are you happy with it?

    Jump

  • I always get like a 2 on the sides and finger length on top. I don't really like it but my hair's looked like shit (to me, anyway) since I started caring so I just decided to stop doing that.

    How do you (republican) Americans feel after Trump/Vance meltdown?

    Jump

  • I'm not a Republican, but I am a good bit more right than a lot of the fediverse tends to be (consider myself centrist, also refuse to align with a party on principle). I think they are doing a terrible job of diplomacy right now. I do think it is an intentional thing (on account of that's kind of who trump is) but I still think this much stuff against our allies is really stupid. I don't want to say too much as I didn't vote this year (forgot until too late) and by my standards that means I don't get to complain, but I can say I disagree with their methods overall, even though I may not disagree with everything they are trying to do.

  • John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed

    Jump

  • mastodon is already the next twitter, bluesky is just a direct copy of it with nothing keeping it from going the same way. mastodon is open source (can't be corpoed), federated (can talk to other platforms/instances so being on a small one doesn't hurt anything), and most importantly, uses a protocol that doesn't make self-hosting impossible due to storage requirements.

  • Did you know Colt makes a really effective rape whistle?

    Jump

  • it's a lot harder to rape someone if as soon as you try they shoot you until you stop trying.

  • Hashtags do not replace groups.

    Jump

  • @atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org I think mastodon should implement a post-to-community type thing like mbin has for microblog posts. It (and all other fedi. platforms, really) also needs like a tutorial or smth to show how to actually use the federation features of the platform.

  • Do you think "there are no innocent" is a valid view?

    Jump

  • no, because you cannot hold one person accountable for the actions of a different person unless they directly enabled it.

  • I'm not to great at managing sleep or food intake myself, but I've found that adding some flavoring to your water helps with hydration. I don't mean those little squirt bottle things though, I mean more like tea. I used to make tea in the morning before school and when I finished it I would refill the water bottle with regular water from the water fountain. the flavor wouldn't be as strong as when I first made the tea, but it made me go from almost never drinking water to drinking 1 bottle of tea (that water bottle was like 20 oz) and 2 bottles of water a day. they also make cold brew tea now, and from the couple times i've tried it it seemed to steep pretty well in ice water and had a good flavor. also as dumb as it may seem, having a water bottle with some cool gimmicky feature may help too. for example, i use an owala one right now and it's been pretty helpful (i stopped doing the tea thing for a while bc i ran out and forgot to buy more) as well.

  • you shouldn't worry about being skinny, only not being fat. the goal should be to avoid the bad thing (being fat, in this case meaning only fat to the point of unhealthiness) not to be the opposite because that is bad too (being excessively skinny can cause just as many issues). as long as you aren't at the point one way or the other where it is hurting your health nobody actually cares. also I'm aware op was joking but some of y'all need to hear this.

  • What was your favorite IRL needle drop moment?

    Jump

  • in high school we had a trip going to New York and on the first day the bus they had us in kept randomly playing jazz for a second or so at a time and it happened right after just about every joke we made that day.

  • Any thoughts on Nebula as a YouTube alternative?

    Jump

  • good point, and it also does have a "recommended for you" category. I honestly think it's a pretty good system so long as you keep in mind that it isn't meant to be what youtube is.

  • Any thoughts on Nebula as a YouTube alternative?

    Jump

  • I've been using it for a year or two now, and here are my notes on it.

    • There are a lot of pretty good creators on there (real engineering, hacksmith, berm peak, and real life lore, for example.) .
    • Though Nebula has a lot of good creators, the vast majority of youtubers are not on it, so you will really only be switching for the ones that are.
    • It has pretty much every feature (user-facing, anyway) that youtube does except for likes/dislikes, comments, and live streaming.
    • It is paid with no free-with-ads option, but it is cheap (currently $36 a year) and provides a comparable experience.
    • It handles podcasts well, but there aren't that many good ones (imo) and a lot of them seem discontinued.
    • It has really good discoverability, but it does not match content to the user (i.e., no personalized home page).
    • It's homepage is made up of various categories like a normal streaming service, including continue watching.
    • It is not a pay-creator-directly kind of service. you pay nebula and they give 50% of the subscription fees to creators based on view count. It is more like a streaming service version of youtube, in a good way.

    Overall, I really like it. It does a lot of stuff right and I feel that my money was well-spent. I would like for there to be more of the people I watch on it (Dankpods, for example). Nebula's pay scheme seems like a fair deal to me given the type of platform it is.

  • How should I be accessing the fediverse to get the most "federated" experience

    Jump

  • just saw that yesterday. I hadn't updated yet when I made that comment. glad it's there even if only in beta because switching stuff like that sucks normally.
