Hah! Old age will have surprises for you.

My generation will have tech illiteracy problems worse than the boomers. Yours will be even worse than mine. It's because most people reach a point where they stop trying to keep up with everything and fall behind.

You'll start to see it after you pass 40 or so. Then when you're in your 60s it'll be your generation's turn to be mocked as the bumbling idiots who ruined the world.

So have fun with that.

Damn straight. MIT license is where it's at.

What's that I hear? It sounds like Grace Hopper cackling from the grave...

Man, I really need to sit down and learn to carve. That lid is beautiful.

That might help with the tankies, but it won't fill in for the specialized subreddits I used to visit. There just aren't enough people on Lemmy.

Sure, I'll just smuggle in European toilets to replace the perfectly serviceable toilets in my house.

Shall I remove the toilet seats and paper as well to really get that "Spanish gas station" feel?

Or maybe - just maybe - it's not a big enough problem for anyone to take the time to fix.

It's been bad for me.

All those hate filled posts everyone talks about? I never saw those on Reddit, because I had a couple dozen technical subs (r/emacs, r/PLC, etc.) that I'd browse and rarely if ever strayed from those. Reddit was big enough that the specialized subreddits generated enough content for my use case.

Some of those communities exist here, but they're practically empty. So I wind up doom scrolling on All, which is full of tankie garbage and political propaganda.

I dunno, while I like the idea of Lemmy, I don't think it's likely to ever get the traffic you need for my kind of use. I probably just need to diversify my phone use and visit other sites.

It's necessary for 4chan, yes.

Yes, but people tend to have the habit of flushing at least twice in hopes the second time works, despite past experience.

That won't stop it from overflowing. You need to pop the lid off the toilet, push the float down, and unhook the chain going to the flap.
