waterule

You can buy thick water (designed for people who have trouble swallowing) at pharmacies and every so often I'll mess with the new guy at work by filling a water bottle with it and taking a swig first thing in the morning after a weekend before saying something like "Damn don't you hate when you forget your water and it goes bad?" and pouring out a thick stream

Why Lemmy's Piracy Community Outshines r/Piracy?

Reply in thread

Even though it's meaningless I have seen some people in different communities voting down comments and posts they don't agree with like on Reddit which is unfortunate.

For the piracy community I hope it doesn't just turn into passive aggressive comments directing people to the megathread all the time.

I like helping people dig for obscure stuff

Reddit communities with millions of followers plan to extend the blackout indefinitely

Ahead of the Tuesday post, more than 300 subreddits had committed to staying dark indefinitely, SpicyThunder335 said. The list included some hugely popular subreddits, like r/aww (more than 34 million subscribers), r/music (more than 32 million subscribers), and r/videos (more than 26 million subscribers). Even r/nba committed to an indefinite timeframe at arguably the most important time of the NBA season. But SpicyThunder335 invited moderators to share pledges to keep the protests going, and the commitments are rolling in.

A surprising amount of big names there. I figured it would be more obscure/niche subreddits like /r/TaylorSwift, /r/SpaghettiWesterns, or something like that

Subscriptions: One of the reasons I left iOS this year.

You might want to check out of F-Droid if you haven't already (not sure if you are already or if you are getting apps from GitHub, the Google Play store, or an APK mirror site). It's great for free open source apps.

I appreciate the customization options and simplicity of a lot of them. I also haven't come across an app that requires a constant internet connection for verification which is nice
