RIP to a star in the Canadian HipHop scene.

 

Looking for anything that comes to mind. I'm hoping to make this community an engaging one that builds an active and positive userbase. What would you like to see in this community, and what ideas for it do you have to bring to the table?

 

I just like Roblox for the social interaction of being able to chat and hang out with people online. I don't need the game to be quite like Roblox, just want a good social experience is all.

Was thinking of swapping to VRChat, but the annoyance there is that they're also American. Anything worth checking out?

Immediate thought that comes to mind is that you can follow the Lemmy and Pixelfed accounts from your Mastodon, which would give you some ease in accessing their posts via Mastodon, and then boost the posts from there.

Hope that helps a bit, tbf cross-platform interactions like this are something I have very limited experience with.

Not entirely. While you can interact with content from other social platforms like Mastodon and PeerTube from Lemmy, federation is best experienced when you utilize platforms with similar use cases.

For example, the link aggregators (Reddit-likes) on the fediverse are Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, and until recently, Lotide. Each of these platforms have similar looks and purpose with slight differentiation. While you can communicate with video streaming or microblogging like PeerTube and Mastodon respectively, it's best to stay within the link aggregators and make a new account for those purposes.

To give an example with microblogging on the Fediverse, there's also a number of options. Biggest one is Mastodon, but others include Misskey and it's endless forks, Smithereen, Pleroma/Akkoma, Mitra, Threads, etc. all with their own interesting quirks. While they can interact with Lemmy and whatnot, their best interactions are going to be with similar-purposed platforms.

My vote's gonna have to go to Them! (1954)

Genuinely surprised Smith is that low. Like, if it took into account how people nationally felt about Smith I'd see this as expected, but the Angus Reid poll referenced seems to be based on the approval ratings of the premiers by their constituents.

I swear not long back Smith had a 60% approval rating here, which is absurd to think about as expected as it is. Wonder if the podcast surfacing pissed people off.

 

VINXIS is an electronic musician from Edmonton. Figured I'd share the song here since I've loved it for a few years now.

I actually haven't! I'll be sure to contact them!

Thanks! Hopefully that's still an option, so I'll likely ask the next time I'm in the area or have time on my hands.

If you can manage to thicken it so that it stays in place, I see no issue. Just with peanut butter and mayonnaise, it's really easy to spread it over the adhesive without it spreading to where you don't need it and it staying in place.

Maybe a paper towel might work, but I'd still worry about preventing it from spreading elsewhere instead of staying place personally.

Yeesh, sorry for trying to make a post to the Positive News community.

 

Been getting interested in possibly watching Lacrosse the last few months, and want to give it a shot. Just annoyed that the team uses Ticketmaster for buying tickets when I'd much rather use an alternative. Just curious if anybody knows if offline options exist.

 

I've used this trick to get old price stickers off my VHS cases (plastic ones, not cardboard), and to remove branded stickers off glass spice jars I want to reuse and relabel. Always works like a charm after letting it sit for a while.

God, why do they feel entitled to our marketplace? Jesus Christ can they just fuck off?

[–] BinzyBoi@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Will do! I'll look at the smaller communities when I can. Mouse is borked at the moment, so using the Raccoon app on mobile and NumLock keys on the desktop to get around for the time being.

Is that the case? I've been hearing a lot about how unreliable the F-35s have been with it being hard to even get them off the ground half the time due to the maintenance needed on them.

 

So fucking glad my guy finally got a Juno. Fun and talented dude.
