Two websites that I use quite a lot to find cool personal blogs/RSS feeds:
Signal >>>>>>>> WhatsApp > texting > Telegram >>>>>>> Messenger.
mina le’s videos are always so good!
Music: I have a few CDs that are in need of a CD player and also have Jellyfin (no server, only local) to listen to my downloaded music on my TV (which mostly comes from Bandcamp). For my phone, I have the Bandcamp app, it’s basic but it does what I need from it.
Podcasts: via Podcast Addict on my phone (unfortunately no browser version, but that’s gotten less important with the years as I spend less time on my computer and the time I do spend requires enough focus that I don’t listen to podcasts), during sports sessions (podcast for warmup & cooldown, audiobook for the session itself), commutes, walking, cleaning & cooking.
Sounds like an issue with Jerboa more than with Lemmy tbh if you can’t properly block a community. Log in to the website and block the community there.
My suggestion would be to back it up on the Internet archive manually once in a while.
I really liked this read! I blog, and I like my blog, but sometimes get stressed out because I feel like nobody’s reading it (I’ve removed all analytics on purpose because I used to get obsessed with them). Blogging for the simple act of blogging, and not for engagement, is the best!
The men around them.
you’ve been an absolutely wonderful admin. please take all the time you need and come back when you’re ready, if you’re ready; don’t come back too soon and burn out again. take care!
It’s easier to start with the small things, like moving to another email provider (I used mailo for a while, which is free and independent, that I really like), changing your search engine (DuckDuckGo is free and a great “gateway” in my opinion), and/or using alternative front-ends for Youtube videos (like Invidious). Once you get used to those, it’s easier to see the value of de-googlifying other stuff! I still use Google Calendar and have an Android phone, but I don’t use many other Google products anymore :)
Just signed up for a trial account and it looks really good. Search in French is surprisingly decent compared to DuckDuckGo.
I am incredibly lucky to live in a country that strongly protects workers, to have no children and to be able to afford an apartment 10mins away from my partner’s place rather than living together and depending on each other’s calendar. I remember how lucky I am every day. I really hope the baby is doing well and that things will settle down in a year or two - obviously it’s still not going to be “unspoken for time”, but hopefully things will settle down a bit at least!
That sounds like an absolute nightmare, I’m really sorry. I hope everything will end up fine.
Oooo enjoy the weekend, whatever you end up doing!
I took next week off from work just because I can and I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’d like to make the most of it but I can’t decide between doing something really cool and doing nothing at all; both are tempting!
Otherwise, things are going pretty great. I might be able to go full remote at work (which would mean I don’t need to quit anymore), and I’ve prepared a wonderful peach, feta & cucumber salad for lunch.
Fun fact: this applies for pretty much every language, except for 50% of French punctuation.
Communities don’t need to have a single specific language and being able to share in our own language in a general community, especially outside of English, would be amazing. I know I’ve posted some content to book-related communities in French and was glad not to post to an empty French community, and I got some interaction on this.
Agree with Flaky that we really need a default language choice to not have to set it up every time, though.
I really don’t think this pact has any legal value to begin with.
Well the good news if that with the literal hundred plums you have, you can afford to “waste” plums until you figure out how to make proper jam! :)
Some personal blogs that I like (mine included), all of them are indie and as far as I know they all are maintained by a single person (so they don’t post several times a day!):
