Every time I can, I take a 30 minute power nap during my lunch break. Only once during a meeting (remote with my camera off) but thankfully no one seemed to notice.

Ah, sorry. I was out of the loop

I would love to see a sequel to Chappie, I don’t think no one talks about it enough, the plt has a couple of holes, but the movie as a whole was perfect in my opinion.

There was originally plans for a sequel but I think there where some issues with casting it under performing in the box office. Also, it would need to be with someone else leading as Bruce Willis is too sick to act any more.

Keanu said he’d jump at the opportunity to make a sequel as well and he’s been pushing for it for a while

You mean they should make a 5th one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_(franchise)/

You aren’t alone

Same but I often forget about one hit bands that made “that song” that just rocks and it was super easy to build playlists with recommendations from Spotify. Also, per the readme of the repo, you don’t have to use Lidarr and it will just do recommendations.

So then is he now president?

But didn’t she win the elections?

I love all of these, thanks for sharing them

Been married to one for 20 years

That’s the neat thing of open source, they technically don’t have to. The community can do it as well.

So, I look at this how I first saw the fediverse. There was a promise of collaboration, a united against monopolistic tech companies that originally drew me in, but how it worked was not clearly explained and I didn’t really understand until much after joining Lemmy, most users don’t care for the complexity and while you are correct that a cetralized Lemmy would go against the purpose of the fediverse, my idea would be of a communal lobby not one ran from a single instance but as a collaboration between the biggest instances. It only would display a catalog of instances and use API endpoints to create a new users account. The feddisearch already exists and could just be either linked to this page or also pulled in using an API if possible. Management would be handled by the owners of all member instances as well as financing.

I guess the question finally falls in do we want to go up against the big tech companies and improve the internet, or just want to exist inone of the Internet’s corners and be left alone?

A global landing page that let’s people join from, asks them some basic questions and selects a server based on those answers wall while explaining in laymen’s tense why. Then when the user finishes signing up presents them with a printable page of their login (user ID, server, etc.) for them to keep in their records and a button to take them straight in.

Hell, add fediserach somewhere in there as well.

People need an information kiosk

I would have left already if it wasn’t that I have kids in college to support and would like to see on the holidays without spending an arm and a leg to fly then here. My spouse also doesn’t want to leave but she is slowly coming around so hopefully in 4-5 years I’ll be leaving for some tropical beach or european car-independent heaven and never looking back.

I’ll try to find you one but I originally heard the story on NPR like a couple of years back

Look into why the US only teaches in medical school about the use of petrochemical farma practices

Don’t go into slack or discord unless you are able to access every possible chat room. People are weird, neighbors are wierded, neighbors online are absolutely toxic. Theonly alternative is that you have access of all chat logs in the app. Setting up mattermost on a vps would work, but I think there are better options for what app to use. Funny enough Next loud can do everything you want it to do, including slack-lile chat rooms, VoIP, email, contact management, cloud storage, web portal, and you still have access to the logs (in case something wrong happens).

People should have the basic understanding how something they use daily works and what it needs to work.
