The most absurd part of this is their inability to dox someone for a month. Give a handful of bored nerds any motivation and they’d have it figured out in a day or two.

If you enjoy the style, also check out Trace Bundy, Calum Graham, and Antoine Dufour (in this song, he changes tuning while playing)

I felt the same way when I first listened to Tommy Emmanuel playing Classical Gas

The general reference to Deliverance isn’t specifically referencing the rape scene, it’s more a general reference to hillbillies. But yeah, Deliverance is pretty fucked up, and I personally wouldn’t recommend watching it. Just listen to the song Dueling Banjos, and understand that some cool music came out of an otherwise fucked up film.

1.5 caf

When I brew coffee, I use half regular grounds and half decaf. There are some roasters that make half caf, but it’s easy to mix it yourself.

I’m in Ontario, I’ve been drinking Kicking Horse lately and it’s decent.

I tend to do the same thing. “Well if you didn’t want a half hour introduction to color theory, why did you ask an unrelated question?”

I… might have the tism…

Half-caf, three cups per day (about 150mg total).

dessalines is known for questionable moderation. Avoid the .ml communities when possible.

Furries. No hate, just not even remotely interested.

What in the 1999 did I just read?

In addition to the poor treatment of autistic and other neurodivergent folks, note that there was a huge uptick in a lot of fantasy folk tales right around the same time people started using gas lamps in their homes.

My block list is long, and I like it!

In the context of social media, it’s safe to say most people use the word “algorithm” to refer to the latter rather than the former. Sorting/visibility is technically an algorithm, but it’s transparent and can be controlled by the user.

Technically, but the algorithm consists of which communities you’re viewing and what order you sort posts. Generally when people talk about an “algorithm” in social media, they mean an opaque self-tuning selection process based on your usage patterns (and whoever is paying them the most). And Lemmy doesn’t have any of that.

If you’re selecting sort-by-new and you’re noticing problems with getting old posts mixed in, that would be a problem. But seeing the same posts when you’re viewing the same communities and sorting the same way isn’t a problem, it’s showing you what you asked for. Why blame the “algorithm”?

What algorithm? You can subscribe to whichever communities you want, and posts from them show up on your feed organized by whatever you pick. If you want to constantly see fresh content, view all communities and sort by new.

I read your first bullet point. Yes, your childhood was fucked. This is nowhere near the typical experience, even for folks with bad home lives.

The phone I use has constant battery charging protection. I checked before using it for that. But yeah, definitely check for that before using it that way, or remove the battery (if the phone will still run without it).

I use one as a camera monitor for my kids’ baby monitors.

A more general idea would be setting up a weather/forecast display.

Played an old LoTR game for the SNES that was so full of bugs, it actually held my interest longer than it should have because I was curious whether the game could even be completed.
