I was recently asked by my employer if we should move our social media efforts to fediverse and my recommendation was that this community it's both too small and also would be hostile (rightly) to corporate empty posting.

As soon as threads has a web interface that's usable I will be starting up there...

You put your recycling in the blue can, compost in the green can and your corporate garbage on Meta.

Nothing to add, but this is a wildly distopian thread.

Why be frustrated? This person just saved you a boring evening.

But I need sunscreen or my stupid Irish skin will turn into a big lump of cancer anyway.

SA vs Fark vs Ebaums all over again. Can't wait.

Anyone have the backstory here?

Calm, peaceful, and if we're honest, still a little buggy.

Keep in mind the Republicans are evolving beyond Trump, and this New Right is a real threat.

Case in point, that story earlier this week about Republican thinks tanks funding anti-education, anti-trans, anti-race mixing efforts, which stokes their culture war in ways that have and will continue to provoke real people to act in violent and harmful ways.

I'm currently wait listed. Is there a way to get Boost now?

This is probably two thirds of the vehicles I see in Austin... which probably has the worst drivers of any city I've lived in.

I'll try to keep this short. I eat out too much.

On the east side: kinda tropical, de nada and Sawyer are good laid back food spots. Justines is a great French spot with a setting you can't beat. Bufalina has excellent pizza and wine... Their pasta is delicious but portions don't justify the cost. Cenote is my go to breakfast spot. If you like divey spots, the Grackle, Violet Crown and the liberty are all great. I think East Side King still has a truck at Liberty too. Grackle just got Asador tacos... That mushroom taco is absurd.

South Congress area: June's is a nice little wine bar. Joanne's and the Austin motel have good food and a fun pool.

Near the lake (not sure what to call these areas): carpenters hall has a good menu and fun pool parties. Pecan Square is a great date night/celebration spot... don't sleep on the crab salad. Fresas is casual Mexican that's elevated without ruining the simple beauty of Mexican cuisine.

I can keep going, but that's probably more than enough. Last suggestion I'll give, if you like live music if any kind, go to Sahara Lounge on a Saturday night. The house band is unbeatable.

I'm in Austin Texas. We got this guy around mid spring and it was bright pink. We've tried full direct light, bright indirect, half and half, putting it indoor and outdoor. It's pretty much all green now. How do we get that pink back?

So... I'm using Connect on Android, but I just learned I can swipe here too, so thanks.

Since I've begun "trying" in the kitchen, I eat way healthier than ever before, and most of my meals are better and cheaper than restaurant equivalents.

This is great, and would make for a super useful Firefox extension.

Yes, wooden posts set in cement. Not sure how deep, because it was new construction, so I didn't do it. It seems weird that it's still settling, but we have definitely been having insane weather swings since it was built, that we don't normally get.

Austin IS prone to foundation issues because something about our soul isn't great... I'm in an area that isn't too bad, but definitely has some issues.

It does sound like we're going to have to reset those posts deeper.

Just saw this community on the trending panel... This is exactly what I've been looking for in Lemmy. My background with music is as a set drummer, I've played with keys and synths forever, but never learned anything worth bragging about, and I've played enough guitar to be a shitty guitar player. My current life situation makes playing in a band challenging, and at this point in my life I have higher priorities, so I've been playing with Max MSP to get my music itch scratched.

My background is as a graphic designer. I have a bit of Javascript, and Python experience, but I'm not a programmer. I have soldered circuits together to make Atari Punk Consoles, and DIY kits, and I am very interested in creating physical drone machines and synths.

I'm using the web ui now. I think it hits a good balance of not too big, not too small.

What is this thing? I has the best buttons.

Has anyone tried Summit yet?
