Might be because of Threads, and Meta seeking to use ActivityPub themselves.
I don’t disagree with you though; I don’t think the fedi is big enough at the moment to register as more than a blip on their radar, as you said.
A pair of powered speakers, hoping I might get lucky at my local thrift stores.
I’ve seen some good ones in the past for low prices but wasn’t in the market for them until now.
If plastic grocery bags could be considered single use, then I think I have an interesting method to share.
Since I was young, probably in the 2nd grade or so, my mom and I were trying this project where we’d take plastic bags and cut them into strips. We’d then feed these into her sewing machine, which used one of its functions to stretch the plastic until it was about the same with as a thin strand of rope or thick yarn. We’d quite literally roll them into balls of plastic yarn.
She’d then knit them into all sorts of things. Drawstring bags, coin purses, and her favorite- tote bags. They were very pretty and had unique feel to them as well. The best I could describe it was it felt like a fake leather purse, but more bumpy due to being knit. It might not be the most efficient method of reducing single use plastic waste, but given that we still have the bags we made back then, I’d say we did a pretty good job of keeping them out of the landfill!
I should also add that with YouTube Revanced you can make the app ad free, which is the primary reason I use it over other music streaming
People have already mentioned the more popular ones
Apart from those, Id recommend Behind the Overlay- it’s an extension that removes a lot of unclosable popups on pages in a single click. Things like “disable your adblock” messages or websites that poorly gatekeep content behind a subscription.
Without your love my life aint nothing but this carnival of rust

EDIT: Another line I find to fit the bill, from the same song:
And more than ever, I hope to never fall, where enough is not the same it was before
I sometimes gift it to friends I run a discord server with around 150ish people, so discord tends to be a platform I spend a lot of time on. As it stands now, I don’t have major qualms with the developers of Discord, so for now, I don’t mind spending money on it.
Two items I can think of: a bluetooth/wifi controlled multicolored lightbulb and reusable K-cups
Rather than setting up strips of lighting along my ceiling in my apartment, just changing out the bulb in my lamp is a really simple way to have full customization of a room’s lighting. Nowadays, I find myself just lying in bed, changing the color and brightness of the bulb on my phone as I listen to music, changing it to whatever feels the best. Even for regular use, changing how bright or soft the white light is can be useful.
As for the K-cups, it makes for a really easy method of making coffee at the office. Due to a long commute, I have to wake up earlier than I would like to arrive at the office on time, and it generally leaves me little time to prepare coffee at home. During the summer I usually prepare cold brew the night before, though in fall and winter, I prefer warm coffee and I find it easiest to grind whole beans myself, prepare a K-cup the night before, and then brew once I arrive. Simple and clean with very little hassle.
My death was so absurd it triggered an unhandled edge case in the code.
Absolutely love Dr. Stone, and love the comparison too
Quite dapper indeed! I hope you ace that interview
It’s a little over an hour long, though we plan on changing offices to a location that’s 20 minutes closer to where I live, thankfully Plus, I do get to work from home twice a week
Besides a few awkward zipper merges and one stretch of road with lanes that are far too narrow, it isn’t the worst. The evening commute is mired by more traffic, but that’s to be expected.
I know someone who has Phoenix Wright’s ringtone as their own ringtone, and hearing it go off for the first time felt like a shock, being a huge Ace Attorney fan lmao
A trimmed down instrumental version of “Beneath the Mask” from Persona 5. I found the song to have a really nice vibe to it.
Reminds me a bit of Jamais Vu
It’s not a perfect match to what you describe but it’s defined as “the phenomenon of experiencing a situation that one recognizes in some fashion, but that nonetheless seems novel and unfamiliar.”
In your case, you recognize there was a building, and recognize it should be familiar, but it still feels unfamiliar to you nevertheless.
Hopefully this is in the right direction lmao
Very often, and it doesn’t help that my replies tend to be absurdly long
Towards the end, I either realize that what I want to say has already been said by someone, the argument isn’t worth it (like you said), or what’s on my mind really isn’t worth bothering other people over.
Hopefully they’re easy enough to vacuum out of a carpet…
Correct me if I’m wrong, but from what I’m reading online, Proton doesn’t “market” or “advertise” discounted plans beyond what you’ll save by purchasing a longer plan for their VPN. They do have a page on coupons here: https://proton.me/support/coupons
And based on what it says, as well as other tweets and reddit comments I’ve seen from their official accounts, they grant these coupons on a case by case basis. So forgive me for being skeptical, but I don’t believe it was false advertising, nor do I believe it was presented as a plan to begin with.
Unless you have a screenshot that shows them blatantly telling you it was a plan, I think you probably misread what they said, and that it “suddenly a coupon and not a plan anymore” isn’t actually truthful. Though of course, you could very well be right, and I might just be skeptical for no reason
Yeah wtf, the OP is just an asshole Thanks for catching that, and kudos for the “power drunk mod” for not bending
