  • Yes, that replaced the low-riding, AA-powered Magic Mouse that had the delightful battery door that ripped off chunks of fingernail when attempting to open. THAT mouse replaced the stupid, short-corded, anti-ergonomic hockey puck mouse, which in turn replaced the single-buttoned Apple Bus Mouse 2, which arguably is the last best mouse Apple made.

    “Hey, let’s hire Jony to do design! But don’t let him ANYWHERE near the mice department, k?” -Jobs, probably.




  • I’m an instance owner and mod. I’ll describe what we see.

    Like anyone else, I can check a post or comment and see the upvote and downvote counts. If I click on a specific menu item by a post or comment I can also see who voted which way.

    I check it often and to date have only banned two users, out of thousands, who were consistently downvoting posts. These bot accounts were literally voting within seconds of the post going federated.

    It’s a useful feature on my end and I think others should be able to see it.



  • Welcome to the fediverse!

    Definitely search for the communities you are interested in and click subscribe. There may be several similar communities on different Lemmy instances with different rules or vibes. Also, if the subscribe button says subscribe pending, you can ignore that.

    Lemmy is amazing to be a “knight of new” as it were because the cross-talk, noise, bots, etc are just not there like they are in reddit. I’ve found communities I never would have known about.

    Keep in mind Lemmy is very actively developed. If you do end up staying with Lemmy consider tossing a few dollars to the devs. I’ve always found the devs courteous and approachable when I’ve encountered a bug.












  • No-fail kitchen garbage bag replacement.

    1. Buy high quality (not Walmart) plastic kitchen bin. Note bag size printed on giant, impossible to remove sticker.

    2. Buy proper bag size from name brand. You can spend a bit of money up front, or spend your valuable time later cleaning up garbage juice. Your call.

    3. Remove bag from roll.

    4. Open bag and scare the crap out of the dog by inflating the bag with swift, loud, jarring noises.

    5. Place bag in bin. DO NOT ATTACH YET.

    6. Starting at one corner, seal the bag around the edge while simultaneously reaching into the clean bag and forcing air out from between the bin and bag.

    7. Work your way around until entire inside of bin looks like a reverse condom.

    8. Good to go.
