Companies are definitely selling your data. Use a VPN.

Use rsync and only upload the files that have changed.

Not me, I’m getting fatter.

And Thunderbird for the email portion. Yes, web and email were in the same application.

I don’t believe it.

Yes! Thanks, I had started to mention that and ended up with a huge run on sentence and it didn’t make it through the editing process. 😅.

BMI is the best measure we have for statistical purposes (i.e., a population) because it’s been around for 50(?) years and is what is often used in studies, so you can compare one study to another using BMI.

It’s also not terrible for a population because it averages out. But for an individual it is definitely not a good measure because there are way too many other variables that matter.

If you do want to get into it, I suggest starting with Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks.

Well, I started watching Star Trek TOS so I would get more of the memes on [email protected] 😅.

I do like to browse by all instead of subscribed, which is a good way to discover more communities. Of course, I do have to block a lot of communities to avoid stuff I’m not interested in… which is basically just stuff in languages I don’t understand and furries (speaking of niche communities, plenty of those). But I even enjoy seeing local posts from places in another country.

Ya, I think the key is not to focus on niche communities, but more generic communities. e.g., someone mentioned a dead Morrowind community, but it’s probably better to invest in a more generic gaming or maybe even pcgaming community.

Lemmy just isn’t that big and can’t support many niche communities.

That being said, I definitely see some niche communities regularly popup in my feed, so there are some active ones!

The warning icon should be a purple monkey.

What if I want rich text?

But it’s ok because it’s also going to solve climate change.

Fans?

You signed a contract? Pretty sure they’re going to fuck it up either way and they definitely have all your data.

Yep. Pretty sure the editor knew what they were doing 🙂

It’s for calculating power levels in Dragon Ball Z.

Let’s maybe just leave that to his wife. Or his mother.

My understanding is that he got his start doing extreme challenges himself, so now that he’s got the money, he challenges fans and gives prize payouts. He also still does his own challenges once in a while.
