I'm an old guy. Since we (my "partner and I) are not married but have lived together for years (no common law here,) husband/wife doesn't apply. I don't know any other word to use other than partner, but it is still difficult for me to naturally say. Not sure why. Funnier (at our age) would be boyfriend and girlfriend. Uh ... no.

So why would you have to go to a particular place to pray to a god? Can that god "hear" you better in certain places? I wish people would examine their beliefs to see if they make any sense. What's with them holding their hands up? Are they like antennas?

I am sure we will be seeing more and more of this as companies cut corners in the name of profit.

I hope some day AI will be incorporated into a podcast player to be able to know the difference between an add and the podcast and automatically skip all adds. Finally, there would be a good use for AI :)

Witchcraft, I can't believe people still believe in this stuff.

If everyone stopped believing in religion (any and all religions), all these religious leaders would lose their power.

I use Loop Habit Tracker and it is simple and does just what I need it to do.

Project yourself 20 years into the future. Imagine yourself saying this to present day you. Then act on that advice. Much of these suggestions can apply to anyone at almost any age.

That's a crazy thing for him to say. The election isn't just his own little personal competition.

“I have no idea who is behind it,” Trump continued on Truth Social...."Anything they do, I wish them luck"

If you don't know anything about them, how/why would you wish them luck?

Christian Nationalism at work again.

It's okay since I only buy games on sale ... oh wait, that doesn't matter as they still sit unplayed. Never mind.

 

After installing Firefox 123.0 I ran a Mullvad Connection check https://mullvad.net/en/check and found I had a DNS leak. Turns out that Firefox had changed the settings under "DNS over HTTPS" so that my Mullvad DNS wasn't being used any more. After changing this setting to "off" in Firefox, the Mullvad check passed.

 

I am notified to comments made on post I've made, but how can I "subscribe" to a post that someone else created? I'd like to be able to easily see additional comments as they are made.

I can kind of do this from my saved posts, but that means going and looking to see if there are any new comments on each of those. That isn't very useful.

 

Are there shortcut keys for the web version of Lemmy? I was looking for things like, "next page" or inside a thread "go to next high level post", those kind of things? Also like, "collapse all posts" or "expand all".

 

"All your data are belong to us" - Google

 

Since the Fedidverse is all connected, should I have one account for accessing both Lemmy and Mastodon or have separate accounts for each one (as I do now)?

 

I bet they are trying to go even further in the future... say a subscription to even use your Quest. I hope not.

 

It's a good start.

 

Just updated to Gnucash 5.2 (via flatpak) and found I can't save the account file anywhere. It appears to be an issue with 5.2. Solution: Turn off file compression in Gnucash (Edit/Preferences/General uncheck 'Compress Files')
