There’s a certain strain of thought that runs through my mind sometimes, that space is just too big and too empty to really be worth going into. Like the moon and Mars, maybe a couple other in-system planets, are the only things close enough for realistic human trips in lifetimes. And the trips so far have shown us that yes, those are just big balls of monotonous dirt. You ever kinda landed in that state of mind?

In spite of all that, I do still get excited about it, and really enjoyed following Artemis. Excited to see us (maybe, hopefully) land on the moon again soon. It’s remarkable that humans are able to rise to that challenge, and I hope we don’t ever entirely stop.

They didn’t entirely miss the mark there. They publicly released the version after that and the world became worse. That certainly fits for some definition of ‘dangerous’, even tho it’s probably not how they were thinking.

For sure! Something about making it more organized little by little is super satisfying, theraputic even.

It’s so ingrained in conversational habits. I find myself really struggling for a greeting when I visit someone who I know is struggling or in pain. Like, I don’t want to force them to think about how they’re doing. But then I also don’t know what else goes after that initial “Hey”. v_v

I think there’s definitely something to this. Kinda like a cache, it’s nice to have some pages that you know are interesting or useful in someway that you can find that little bit easier.

But the in-browser search for bookmarks is pretty limited. It just checks the title and url and maybe some tags. I know (or think?) there are some programs out there that index and/or archive your bookmarks and let you do full text search through them like a proper search engine.

Apparently 4614. Several hundred are probably duplicates tho. I’ll bookmark interesting pages that I see at work (since I usually don’t have time to read them) and occasionally import them to my main browser. Like others have said, that’s built up over many years. And in general I’ve tried to be more of a ‘bookmark it and close the tab already’ kind of person lately.

It’s all various levels of hoarding and to-dos I know I’ll never get to, but pretty often I do find myself enjoying browsing through my bookmarks and remembering neat stuff I saw in passing or articles I wanted to read. It’s also fun sorting them out to folders, even tho I know they’ll never be properly organized nor especially useful if they were.

I do very regularly use a few that I keep on my bookmarks toolbar. I make better use of that feature at work too, where I have the most important few pages and environments right at hand.

The premise doesn’t feel true for me. I’m in the US - Verne and Wells both seem well known generally. But that’s highly anecdotal of course.

I’m doing pretty well! Busy lately, but still finding time for things I enjoy.

Chaos computer club sounds cool, what kind of topics come up there?

Nothing wrong (AFAIK) with asking here, but I think you’d dig the !casualconversation@piefed.social community.

It’s at least something to explain what the title’s referencing. Acknowledging that smaller audiences are often preferred doesn’t really seem at odds with that. It just points to A and B having higher priority than C, right?

But people should just read the article, it’s pretty quick and has more context than the quote.

Key quote for the curious:

They [the paper he’s discussing] conclude that there’s a community-member’s “trilemma”: a set of three priorities that can never be fully satisfied by any group. The trilemma consists of users’ need to find:

a) A community of like-minded people;

b) Useful information; and

c) The largest possible audience.

The thing that puts the “lemma” in this “trilemma” is that any given group can only satisfy two of these three needs. It’s hard to establish the kinds of intimate, high-trust bonds with the members of a giant, high-traffic group, but your small, chummy circle of pals might not be big enough to include people who have the information you’re seeking.

When I was very young my mom was making bread with beer and I begged her to let me try it. Finally she relented that I could have a sip. I took one smell of the can and never had really had interest in trying again.

Thought when it became legal for me, but figured I would either waste 5 bucks if I hate it or become an alchoholic if I don’t. Don’t trust myself enough to assume I’d always stay moderate with stuff like that.

Now that I’m older, I’ve seen plenty of friends get deep into it then struggle through getting sober. Feel like I made good decisions.

It’s gotta be The Cool S.

Hopefully this initiative sticks, sounds like my next phone (eventually) might just be Motorola/Graphene.

And thanks for being on Lemmy! Try to keep in mind that all the less-active-than-you’d-hope communities need your help. Engage where you can to support the community building effort, it makes a difference here.

This thread (and community) is kinda the starter pack: https://threadiverse.link/lemmy.ca/post/40160493

Other than that, search for your interests and sift through /all a little, you should be able to build up your subs pretty quick.

Not a course, but consider joining the community over at !languagelearning@sopuli.xyz, always nice to see more folks learning.

Nice. Yeah, it’s a fun topic, thanks for starting it!

JustinGuitar is great for sure. It’s a little frustrating that he doesn’t put tabs in the videos - sometimes that would save a lot of time. But you can get those too if you sub I guess. The song lesson library there is also super helpful.

The question was a fun excuse to think about some old tutorials I’ve seen, and dig through the bookmarks. Any subject is a pretty broad ask tho. Out of curiosity, why do you ask? Are you just thinking about learning something new for the fun ot it?
