Off topic shout out: why not Chaco sandals for home and/or for going out?

It’s off topic, but OP mentioned having used sandals, so he can maybe consider them a good option

I’ve read it this year for the first time. It’s fantastic. So short and so powerful.

So are there any good news in this respect?

Rewind

I stopped using Windows in 2008 (juggling between a mixture of Linux and Mac OS). One of the reasons, is that at that time I thought Windows was legitimately a mess.

Over time, I thought it got a bit better when seeing it on friends’s computers.

Due to laziness, Windows 11 got installed on my office computer (which I use 1% of my time) and I thought it was honestly pretty good (as in, I never thought about switching back, but it was fine to use it when necessary).

Now that they plug in ads, I’ll certainly want to switch back /s

I’ve been a lurker on Reddit for forever (about 15 years) and then the APIcalypse happened and my first and unique post on Reddit was asking for a Tildes invite. I didn’t enjoy Tildes, so now I’m here. We’re so much less that I feel I can’t lurk here too, so now I regularly comment here.

I was scrolling down to see if anyone said this, since it’s been the case for me so far. I have to say lately I’ve seen a raise in unfriendliness (not referring towards me, but in general), but I suppose it’s inevitable.

I’m still really happy with how people interact with me and with each other, and I haven’t felt that on Reddit for a while (am referring to both pre APIcalypse and after, though I now visit Reddit rarely)

This was well written and makes me miss Groklaw once more

You’re talking to me or the guy above?

Care to elaborate either way?

There’s one thing I haven’t read yet in the previous answers: after you s**t you still wipe your ass with toilet paper before using the bidet, and you do it pretty well too.

When you get to use the bidet, your butt is already pretty clean, but washing it with a bidet makes it entirely clean and feels really nice.

You use a towel right after using a bidet, which is why you see one hanging right by a bidet in most (if not all) bathrooms with a bidet. This prevents spraying water everywhere after you’re clean.

Also, when you use it once, you learn how strong you want your water stream to be, not to wet the whole bathroom. You do the same the first time you wash your dishes (if your faucet shoots water too strongly, you wet the kitchen beyond the sink)

Also: those who use bidet go through a rigorous training to master its practice and transmit it’s secrets orally to the next generation.

Bonus: Crocodile Dundee VS a bidet

You just reminded me of this awesome bot on Reddit called “please respect tables”.

There is still a subreddit about this, though it’s been abandoned

Please respect tables

It would be fun to have it here too! 😄

I believe we’re called “Lemmings”.

Besides that, I think OP is asking whether certain communities could be joined together (say one mirrors the other, or one redirects to the other), but I suspect this cannot work the way the Fediverse works.

Still, an excellent question!

I’m doing my part!

I second this as a principle, though I have a hard time not showering once per day. It’s a complicated balance, between not drying your skin with water and soap and not smelling.

I lived in Brazil for quite some time and, it being a huge country, I behaved differently depending if I was in a tropical or subtropical climate. I would mostly have one shower in the morning, except when it was mad hot and humid, when no matter how lightly you dressed, you’d still be drenched in sweat after a while

I was simultaneously desperately hoping RIF for Reddit wouldn’t die…

Now however, I’m still sad about RIF, but very happy about being here on Lemmy!

The hero we need, but not the one we deserve

This is really nice, thank you!

OT but related to the discussion: is there a way to track if and how the fediverse is increasing?

I looked on Wikipedia and it said it’s just about ~67000 users on Lemmy VS ~52 million users on Reddit.

I’m spending most of my time on my phone on Lemmy (and about 5 mins on Reddit) every day now, but it would be awesome to be slowly attracting more users from Reddit over time.

Sure, it’s better to be fewer users if it does lead to more quality conversations (which is what I find so far), but the fediverse still needs to grow!

Edit: fixed grammar and clarity in the last sentence.
