The speed at which the devs are pushing out wefwef releases!
That was supposed to be a gif. Problem might be me, wefwef, a specific instance, Lemmy base code or the universe. Who knows anymore! . ¯_(ツ)_/¯

After a week of blocking every porn sub I see I’m feeling defeated
You can also go in your lemmy profile and check that you want to hide all NSFW posts.

Microsoft shuts down Cortana, Apple should do the same with Siri
Reply in thread
Agreed. I find myself using Siri on walks via AirPods quite a bit. Siri what’s the weather going to be like tonight . Siri what’s in my calendar tomorrow. Siri what’s the latest news. (That opens up podcast app and plays local news I love it. ). Siri let me know when it’s 12:30. I just wish it got better at answering simple questions. A few articles mentioned Apple started looking at incorporating a GPT style AI with Siri.

What is a beautiful concept or idea that continues to blow your mind?
Symbiosis in nature….it always brings up feelings of awe and wonder for me. Especially in forests. The "wood-wide web" or "mycorrhizal network" being my latest obsession . The fact that the fungi joins the trees together through the roots to allow for exchange of nutrients, water, and chemical signals between plants. And then there’s the forest canopy, and the role it plays in keeping the forest healthy.
Trees are awesome.

Mastodon is Rewinding the Clock on Social Media — in a Good Way
Reply in thread
I prefer pull vs push media. Less intrusive. I have a feeling lemmy users may also like RSS feeds for the control it provides. I know in mastodon you decide who to follow, but the whole culture to encourage re-blogging means a lot of potential unwanted crap in our feeds.

What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?

What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?

Similar but different : tea! You go from cheap bagged tea to going down the rabbit hole of loose leaf variations, temp control kettles, brewing vessels and brewing styles.

I was one of three women in my year who graduated in CS at my university. I did most of my course work at home…trying to be one of the guys and make sure kindness wouldn’t be considered flirting made for a weird 4 years. No horror stories to tell though , just plenty of awkwardness.

What are some reddit communities you wish to see live and more active on lemmy?
Non-English subs. They are starting but it will take a while to catch up.

What do you love the most about life, the world, or humanity?
The natural world. Both at the micro level of looking at the symbiosis between tiny insects and plants, to the macro of untouched natural landscapes. Also clouds! We forget to look up and see how cool clouds are.

With Google & Meta blocking Canadian news, what next?
Reply in thread
I use Feedly on iOS to follow all my favourite sites and it’s great! I combine it with Pocket to read stuff offline too and it’s a killer combo. Never liked social media’s “push” content and preferred having the freedom to “pull” what I want.

what's your all time favorite cereal?
I mix them. Not sure if this is weird or common. Honey Nut Cheerios and Rice Krispies are a good combo. Vectors with Rice Krispies too. Alone: Golden Grahams.

🫡 Thank you for sending me down a rabbit hole of early Federation days which made me rediscover Tellarites.

I sent them a note via their feedback form too. If we all do that they might start paying attention.
