Lemmy only. Haven’t used reddit in a couple of years. I have a Pixelfed account that gets opened once every two weeks or so. No meta products, no xitter, this is it.

Once I closed the instagram account, I lost a few friends. A couple I had known for years IRL. The important ones I am still in touch with, mostly via text of some sort

Wolf Totem by the Hu. In fact, their entire discography. The heavier stuff is great at the gym

And the terrorism charges?

Sumac! And garlic, paprika, and asafoetida. Love ‘em all

Gutless Australian Government

I downloaded it and watched it on Saturday. Depends how you search whether geo blocking is effective or not

I have used rise up for nearly a decade. VPN as well as email, and it is legit. I donate more, sporadically, than it would cost me to subscribe to equivalent alternatives, but that’s a choice. When I was poor and couldn’t afford to contribute, there was no question.

When a server was confiscated and subsequently returned, they wrote the server off rather than risk reconnecting it and potentially installing spyware.

There are limits: exit nodes are limited to (from memory), four or five.

For me, it’s a 4.5 out of five, and would only improve with more exit node functionality

Known as “Human Shield “ Musk. X is just a term of endearment

I got multiple awards on reddit for a stupid reaction to someone else’s comment. I was awarded several platinum things, multiple gold, had access to an exclusive lounge, all for a slightly drunk response to someone else’s comment, on someone’s post.

Got a little braver after that.

I feel like I have seen that cat somewhere before, but I don’t recognise them with their mask on

Have a look at Zenni.com. I ship their glasses to Australia, and bought three pairs for 1/4 the price of a single pair here

Rise up has changed their invite policy to one every 24 hours. I am sending out invites in order of request, but have had (to date) 21 DM’s. I have to draw a line and will send one per day until I am cut off.

Thanks

Yes. Still be a few hours, but will contact people shortly. Probably as soon as I am sober!🥃🍹🍾

No problem. I will be home later today and will DM you for an email contact.

I have about 5 invites if anyone is interested

“Another option available to Tesla is removing the rear-centre seatbelt and re-certifying the Model 3 as a four-seater.”

Which, if you purchased the vehicle needing or wanting a 5 seater, should make it not fit for purpose under Australian law and require a refund.

I ended up going very low contact with my arch-conservative family. Parents, sister and brother are all very right wing and loud about it. I haven’t spoken with my siblings in over a decade and speak to my parents about twice a year.

It has made my life calmer and more peaceful.

I have Withings Scanwatch Horizon. I love the look and the battery life. I average 22 days between recharging. Steps are reasonably accurate, it measures a bit on the low side but this means I do another few hundred steps occasionally to meet my goal. The app is pretty good. I use it to track walks and gym sessions mainly.

Also on iOS, with DuckDuckGo and Memmy. They all just show up as bullet points for me. No numbers
