Geek. Gamer. Data hoarder. Eldritch Horror hidden in a geeky t-shirt. Canadian. Polite, but says 'cunt' like an Australian. Avid pirate, worships unfathomable space gods that may drive you crazy.

If you see this username on other instances, it's almost certainly me on an alt.

  • How many showers do you take a day?

    Jump

  • Baths? Zero. Can't remember the last year I laid in a tub. Not even sure the last decade.

    How often do to clean my body? Daily, via a shower. If it's a day off I might skip a day.

  • Meta and Salesforce are looking to rehire some workers they just laid off. It's putting those people in an awkward spot.

    Jump

  • Don't need the word 'tech' in there.

  • Alternative ways to run Plex?

    Jump

  • Ditto. Got the 1st gen usb style, the 2nd gen puck, and the last ultra that came out before they had a full on OS and remote controls and shit. All 3 of em in use daily to this day.

  • T-Mobile users say other people’s account information is appearing in their app

    Jump

  • You, at least (again) 15ish years ago, could upload photos you took to your account on the tmobile website. Don't remember if it was meant as a backup or some other purpose. Just remember being able to, as a CSR, check said photos when people would call in for issues with their bills and shit. Was funny lol.

  • Lemmy does feel like reddit now.

    Jump

  • Agreed. Just gotta give the place love. Pick something you care about and just talk about it.

    e.g. I'm a pro wrestling guy. When the Redditpocalypse happened, a handful of the /r/SQ people came over here to kbin and made a community and just kinda...died after a week or three from lack of use cause everyone stuck with Reddit or went to the Discord.

    Right now /m/SquaredCircle is the largest and most active wrestling community on lemmy/kbin (at least that I can see when searching), mostly cause A) my ass for the last few months has been posting 99% of the news and occasional highlights, and B) 1 of the new mods has been posting all the discussion threads and kicking up engagement where he can.

    We building this shit up.

  • T-Mobile users say other people’s account information is appearing in their app

    Jump

  • As someone who worked (third party) for T-Mobile a good 15ish years ago: Why am I not surprised that the company that I used to take phone calls for regarding other peoples shit appearing on their online photo roll on the website somehow is having this problem?? 😆

  • Seriously, though. How often do you think of the Roman Empire?

    Jump

  • In the last week, seemingly every 11 seconds lol

  • Time to ditch Amazon Prime?

    Jump

  • Being a pirate is alright with me!

  • Time to ditch Amazon Prime?

    Jump

  • Naw, I was too. Haven't been for a year or two, but I've only ever subscribed to them for the shipping. Barely used their streaming when I did cause, also, yarr 🏴‍☠️

  • What the deal with beef stroganoff?

    Jump

  • I could go for some beef stroganoff right now.

  • Dwarf Fortress on Steam now officially available for Linux

    Jump

  • Love to hear it.

    This also reminds me I should go strike the earth.

  • What song are you listening to?

    Jump

  • Perfect.

  • Elon Musk says Twitter, now X, could charge all users subscription fees

    Jump
  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • This. Sometimes I'll go to an actual torrent site for shits & grins but why go search on 1 site when I can search 50+ at once?

  • We used to be a proper country

    Jump

  • Was about to say, the Doctor wouldn't be having none of either of these.

  • These are the cleavages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission? To explore strange new wardrobes

    Jump

  • LED nips.

  • Why does "Heathcliff Without Heathcliff" dominate Lemmy's !comics@lemmy.ml

    Jump

  • I just wish the community had more posts about comic books, given that's the intended purpose for it and not comic strips, and there are communities for both comic strips and webcomics already. (There is https://lemmy.world/c/comicbooks also for comic books but it's also less populated).

  • what decentralized platforms do you use?

    Jump

  • Fuck lmao, leaving it.

  • what decentralized platforms do you use?

    Jump

  • Not counting the smartass answers like some of the others (which are all 100% correct lol): The Fediverse platforms I use are:

    kbinMastosonBookWyrmpixelfedPeertube

    The former 2 I use primarily, the latter 3 just on occasion. I do also have a couple of Lemmy accounts on other instances but no longer use them.
