I wouldn't go to lemmy.world directly. Rather, click on Communities -> All and just start subscribing to a bunch of stuff. Many of them may be hosted over at lemmy.world but it doesn't really matter. Once you subscribe, it all comes over to lemmy.ca and you can post/comment/whatever.

This made me literally lol and I needed that today. Thanks!

My brother told me this story of the raccoons living in his backyard. The mother had figured out how to defeat a new supposedly raccoon-proof garbage can and lined up the cubs to demonstrate. The first two watched with rapt attention while a third had a kind of dazed look. The mother then came back and smacked him in the head before showing them again. That seems like a pretty good indication to me that she had a good grasp of the mental state of her cubs?

Oh ok. Thanks for the clarification. I couldn't remember the exact details.

I guess this is rather niche, but I go to thesession a lot for fiddle tunes. They are ostensibly an Irish traditional music site, but their collection is a vast community-led effort and there's all sorts of stuff of varying genres on there. Folk music in general is improvisational by nature, and what's interesting about thesession is you will find multiple versions (aka settings) of a given tune as it's played by different artists or in particular regions. None of them are "right" per se, but it gives you some ideas when trying to work out your own style.

Wow, I did not know about the OLED with the bigger screen and presumably better battery life. I really want one now!

I think I read somewhere that Factorio is more efficient running under Linux/Mac because it takes advantage of some quirk in the Unix forking mechanism that Windows can't use? I don't know if this means it would burn through battery even faster if the SD ran Windows, but it wouldn't surprise me…

Mine says 99% health. I don't know how reliable a metric that is?

Lately, I've been playing on battery exclusively and basically going with the 1 gaming session = 1 battery charge regimen to self-regulate. I may need to re-evaluate this as the battery ages, but it's good discipline for me at the moment…

I once had a dream featuring a T-Rex hopping like a kangaroo and woke up thinking wait, how would we know they didn't do that? I guess this answers my question.

For instance, in February 2023, the hosting giant disclosed that unknown attackers stole source code and installed malware on compromised servers after breaching its cPanel shared hosting environment in a multi-year breach.

I assumed their security for this was to keep shuffling around their web site to make that cPanel stuff impossible to find? It's like a store that keeps rearranging their floor inventory. I dread having to do anything with cPanel. Kudos to the hackers who managed to work it out.

Same with my cat. Sometimes when he's lying on my chest, he tries to "pet" me on the face, which is not fun as he has claws, so I pin down his left paw but he never ever uses his right for this.

I think from a free advice perspective, it's worth talking to your local pharmacist? While not a substitute for doctor visits, my experience is that their advice on minor maladies is way more on-point than what I get from relatives, co-workers, etc. And they are super well-versed on the pitfalls of off-the-shelf remedies. Yet a lot people only approach them to pick up a prescription.
