  • Deleted all my comment and post history from there when I was directed to Lemmy. Zero regrets. Have not looked back. Find the engagement here far better; proper discussions without the trolls. Loving it… Also tried Mastodon and enjoying that too even though I never used twitter.

    Used to spend hours each day on Reddit and was active contributor on the subreddits I subscribed to. Hoping we get some of the less popular and specialised communities here so we all got to make an effort to support the smaller ones by posting and commenting.


  • A cheap usb microscope. I wanted to get into macro photography but my eyesight is pretty terrible even with glasses and struggle to see fine details so struggled to set the mounts up. (Small insects, grains, etc)

    Saw a usb microscope for 20€ on Amazon and thought for 20 euro it’s going to be terrible but worth a punt. It’s bloody brilliant. Have used it for a whole variety of things from threading needles to soldering work, repairing stuff with glue and tightening up glasses as well as the macro stuff. Coupled with some ‘helping hands’ it’s a permanent fixture on the pc desk.




  • The nail in the coffin for me was the rules engine. You can no longer apply rules to messages you sent. I have a rule that moves my sent messages into the inbox as to be able to file all mails into categories such as “requires attention”, “waiting on someone else”, “expenses”, etc.

    Couldn’t find an option to bcc myself on each mails either which would have achieved the same.

    This is the way I have worked for years and is my natural workflow so is critical for me.


  • Let’s sing all together:

    Well Spez is a cunt, he’s a big fat cunt, He’s the biggest cunt in the whole wide world. He’s a stupid cunt, if there ever was a cunt, He’s a cunt to all the boys and girls.

    On Monday, he’s a cunt, On Tuesday, he’s a cunt, On Wednesday though Saturday, he’s a cunt, Then on Sunday, just to be different, He’s a super King Kamehameha Cunt.

    Have you ever met Reddits Spez? He’s the biggest cunt in the whole wide world, (La-la-la-la-la-la-la) He’s a mean ol’ cunt and he has wangy eyes, He’s a cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt.

    Cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, He’s a stupid cunt! (Woah!)! Reddits Spez is a cunt, And he’s such a dirty cunt! (Cunt!)!
