Yeah a lot of the Benadryl memes out there are about dementia.

What would sell better if people knew about it?
Honestly USB C adapters. If you EDC a portable power bank it's worth looking into a USB C to micro and thunderbolt adapter. It's a lot easier than carrying around multiple cords and an easy way to help out friends and coworkers.
I think I got mine for a few dollars on Ali Express

Does Lemmy have an “algorithm”? Like if I engage with one community a lot, will that show up more in my feed?
It uses a ranking algorithm. You can read more about it here but I don't think it's done at an individual level like Reddit.

Indeed...

On the future of Lemmy vs reddit
- Lemmy is now a real alternative. When reddit imploded Lemmy wasn't fully set up to take advantage of the exodus, so a lot of users came over to the fediverse and gave up right away. There were no phone apps, the user interface was rudimentary, and communities weren't yet alive. Next time reddit screws up in a high profile way, and they will screw up, the fediverse will be ready.
I definitely think having mobile apps is an essential step. I was looking at alternative platforms such as Raddle.me but using a mobile browser was an extra hurdle (similar to using the official Reddit app) that kept me from regularly checking in.
- Lemmy has way more potential than reddit. Reddit's leadership has always been incompetent and slow at fixing problems. The fediverse has been very responsive to user feedback in comparison.
I could see this causing issues later. We've already seen issues arise with some instances using the .ml domain or not being updated immediately.
Defederation is another beast all together. Most of an instance might be fine but a few problematic communities could create problems leading to arguments and, as much as I hate the term, drama.

Hello fellow travelors in the high seas
SpotiFlyer. It matches songs in a Spotify playlist to songs on YouTube and downloads them. Great if you like Spotify's curated and niche playlists but don't like their app or restrictions on playback.
Antenna Pod is great for podcasts but that's not really piracy.

Reddit hands over /r/linux moderation to a new account with 3 posts. (UPDATE: new mod deleted their account?)
I read some of their comments and it seems like this is a re-created account and they got into contact with the old moderators about it instead of going the /r/RedditRequest route. They did post on /r/RedditRequest about /r/LinuxQuestions.
They are aware of Lemmy and have commented the following
I use lemmy via the browser on my iPhone. It’s not amazing and it has a lot of bugs but I believe it’s a good platform - it’s just not ready yet
and
I’m very pro lemmy but as you say, it’s not quite ready yet. In the meantime, there’s an opportunity to help new users and maintain a decent space for everyone
In /r/Linux's pinned post they stated that we have new mods despite being the only moderator but commented the following
(We’re waiting to hear back from another user who might be available)
At least so far it doesn't sound like they are doing it maliciously or squatting on the subreddit. I feel like waiting until they had additional moderators or stating which moderator(s) gave them the go-ahead before making a pinned post along with mentioning that a lot of the community has attempted to migrate to Lemmy would have been a good idea.

TIL potatoes yield 17.8 million calories per acre, so you could feed a family of four on less than 1/4 acre
The article also lists other items on an area per calorie level too which is neat to see.
It does remind me a bit of this image.

The man in the photo reminds me a bit of Brutal Moose.
Maybe it's just the facial hair. I feel like there's a video of him in a similar stance/outfit

Sock rule
Similar to the classic joke:
Why did the sperm cross the road?
Because I put on the wrong socks this morning.

RIP my gmod buddy
Wonder if they forgot their Steam login

should you pirate an image or an nft
By pirating an NFT you mean saving the image? Because the owner of an NFT doesn't always own the copyright or license.

I finished Rullout : New Vegas
I think my next challenge run should be beating the PS3 without reloading. If the game crashes or I clip into a rock I need to start over.

Putting the roleplay back in the RPG was a huge reason for Cyberpunk 2077's recent metro and romance updates, says associate game director: 'It's easy to overlook'
Maybe it's because I associate roleplaying with the idea of player choice but I really don't think it added a ton to the RPG aspect. World depth? Sure but not by much.

Upvote:
I can tell some effort/thought went into the post/comment
It contributes to the correct community
Is somewhat original
Downvote:
It doesn't belong in the community
Is spam
Post/comment is rude or contains unnecessarily offensive material
It's a Reddit'ism such as commenting "This" below something they agree with
Neither:
It's a hot take I don't agree with
It's been posted several times (including cross-posts because I typically sort by all)

What's something that you learned about yourself recently?
That I prefer PlayStation over Xbox. I ended up playing the Killzone, Resistance, and inFamous series as well as Red Dead Redemption on a PS3 and I really liked the dashboard and trophy system. I even got used to the controller. I was a die hard Xbox 360 guy in high school but I think that was mostly because it's what my friends were using.
It does help consoles modding seems to be easier on the PlayStation side of things.
