Yes, and the all new TwinkedIn is already experiencing a surge in active users! Most of them are coming from Grindr for some reason, but it still counts!

One of the small blessings of social media has been more billionaires putting their unfiltered thoughts out there for everyone to see. It's become very obvious that they have no special skills or intelligence. If anything it's just a lack of imagination that allows them to indulge their fixation on collecting shiny things.

Crowdsourcing has been a blessing in my journey to relieve chronic migraine. There's a lot of misunderstanding and bad info out there, but at least it has given me options. Doctors have all fixated on blood pressure medication and abortives, which don't work on me in the former, and the latter leaves me incapacitated when they do work.

Going down the rabbit hole of online discussions helped me figure out I have histamine intolerance, which I was able to verify scientifically once I knew how to investigate it.

Communities that are mostly on meta are going to be tough to shift. One of my main ones is Electric Unicycles, which has a lot of activity over there because people rely on it for organising group rides and such. It means even the subreddit is pretty small.

I tried looking for less niche categories, like for Personal Electric Vehicles, no luck. The closest I found on Lemmy is for micromobility, but it's pretty dead.

It's strange of China to even propose this. Why would Australia risk drawing fire when we've escaped the worst of the tariff lunacy so far?

Turning it down is also an easy win for Albanese to look strong against two superpowers, weeks away from an election.

Even when I like the music, it goes down to about 50%. If games were good at dynamically adjusting the music so it doesn't compete with all the other audio when you actually need to hear things, I wouldn't. But here we are.

Since being diagnosed with ADHD I finally accepted that all the common advice for sleeping doesn't work on me. If I get stuck in hyper focus a bit of phone time can break it long enough to switch off.

I thought it was Mr House.

Does he think people will just start buying things they don't need to make the tariff go away?

Newspapers and magazines used to be absolutely everywhere. Littering train carriages, stacked up in waiting rooms. Most of my workplaces would have a daily paper lying around that rotated through the team. Paperbacks exist because they were easy to carry around.

I will never understand why people with power are this petty.

They probably think it's a huge flex, but it makes them look like the most pants-shittingly immature little cry babies.

Real power is not devoting brain cycles to things that should be beneath you.
