PAX - before there was PAX Prime or PAX East.

This is what my family (and a few friends) use. We have been using it for a while now because it just works. Also, the kids have never complained about using Conversations, or about using it only for us (like if you have that one family member who won’t leave SMS behind - we’re that guy, I guess), and we can make as many channels as we need for the house, the kids, with each kid individually, for our MTG cards, with our couple of friends that use it, etc…

I don’t personally do the hosting, so I can’t speak to that. That’s the hubby’s thing
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The thing that gets me a lot of the time is falling up. I would trip while running or riding a bike, and lose contact with the ground. Soon I’m beyond any trees that I could grab, and just falling. Up. Until it wakes me up.

I’ve had nightmares about it since I was a kid (I don’t know when “old” starts, but I’m probably closer to that than to being a kid. Well, in age - I’m still pretty immature 😅)

I have had quite a few nightmares about not being able to find my kids during zombie apocalypses.
Same basic thing tho: the scariest part wasn’t the setting or scenario, it was not being able to save my kids from harm.

It became a thing in Lemmy 0.19 - as long as you’re on an instance that has updated to that, it should be available to you. At the bottom of the settings page in the web ui, but if you use an app they might not expose that to you yet.

Omg, I can finally use my cane and carry more than one f*n thing at a time! Or - on a rough day - use my walker and carry my coffee without fear of a tiny bump into something spilling coffee everywhere! It’s the little things like that that I miss

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We bought a copy of Heroes of Might and Magic V from GOG since I had never actually played any of them. It’s from 2006, and is in a genre on the edge of my interests.

We also picked up 2 copies of Satisfactory to play together, but were too sick to deal with the bugginess of actually getting multiplayer to work.

Happy Holidays everyone! Hope you all are staying healthy ❤️

Well shit. Sorry, man…

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Are bionic spines a thing already? Cause I’d really love it if those could be easily available for all of us with chronic back pain. Hell, even not just chronic - any bs back pain.

Edit: I see now that it has been researched, at least. Here’s an article about building a bionic spine but why don’t I have something like this at the pharmacy?

Edit 2: I accidentally a word

Well, you’re in luck! At least one of those exists already! 👍

That’s the spider’s way of paying rent, in our household. If they come out into the spaces where we are, it goes against the rental agreement, and they are …evicted.

Well, the spoiler tags work in Connect, but the emojis did not. The emojis work in Liftoff and Sync, but the spoiler tags did not. Both worked in the Voyager/pwa. (This is one of the things I use 4 apps because of.)

Nothing super dramatic, honestly. I’m really happy with the level of polish/finish in S4L, and the rate of releases that the dev has been keeping up since moving to Lemmy. I really didn’t use reddit without Sync (or RES if on PC), so it just feels right given how similar the platforms are. Sometimes I just want to change it up without spending any time in settings menus.

Also, sometimes I just feel like looking at the vaporwave-dark theme in the Voyager pwa. I haven’t used Liftoff much since Sync came out, but I did a lot of app-hopping when I first got here and I guess the habit stuck!

That’s probably why I have 4 installed rn - because you’re a man-child (j/k, obviously it’s because I’m a …lady-child?)

ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Sync for Lemmy is my daily-driver, but I also use the pwa (Voyager/wefwef), Liftoff, and Connect.

Yep, 4 apps for browsing Lemmy with, and I love them all for different reasons. I’ve used Sync for years and had no problem paying to get rid of ads - so many hours of entertainment have been facilitated by Sync, and I appreciate that enough to pay for it.

Round trip

For Android, I know Sync and Connect both allow it, but I don’t know how good either are at it.

I mean, to be fair… With the way Mt Dew eats up my stomach lining, I can sort of understand someone thinking it might get rid of DNA on the skin… Kinda…

Man. Florida. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Who knows what kind of crazy will happen next.

The one I found is trees

If there’s another that’s more active, I haven’t noticed it yet. I admit to being a lurker there still.

I sit on the couch with a comfy blanket, a giant thing of water nearby, and play video games. Usually some Zelda game, but always something gentle where it doesn’t matter if I fall asleep while playing.

Also, I have some form of chicken soup (see my other reply for a delicious recipe)
