I’ve been using RIF and old.reddit.com for as long as they existed. Reddit since the big Digg transition. Hope to never see the same happen to Lemmy!!

I believe in Canada we have high standards for our potable water, unlike the UK for example our water heaters need to be up to par (UK typically has seperate taps AFAIK).

So no need to boil, also if you’re trying to get rid of chlorine you can just use Brita filters, carbon filters that restaurants use do the same AFAIK. Also even cities like mine which (at least at some point before now) had way more houses than apartments still chlorinated the entire city’s supply.

Filters are insanely good these days. I was thinking about getting a life straw, but there’s a slightly more expensive alternative that can do like 500x more filtering before it needs to be replaced, and comes with a pouch you can fill and then pour into a regular water bottle. Life straws are meant to be drank from directly, and the alternatives that company offers are just water bottles with life straws built in - so you put unfiltered water in the bottle itself… Probably gets gross or requires constant cleaning

The Netscape loading logo was pretty cool, and of course it took a while to load every page!

A bit later than what I’d call the early internet, I’d say my favourite memory was winning a Super Soaker CPS 2500 when I was 13.

Wait so the US is lying to you because they’re financially supporting Ukraine & with weapons, while they’re being fucking invaded, because Poland (an independent nation) decides to send ground troops into Russia (maybe to slow down the invasion of Ukraine???)

Seems to me like you’re operating under the assumption that the United States of America runs the entire world. They don’t.

It’s a good thing Russians don’t have religious claim to Ukranian land lest they get a free pass like Israel does

Guess we will just have to mod the shit out of this place until then

At least we haven’t been blasted with smoke since it started. The orange shit was probably because of pollen. There was yellow chalk like dust everywhere after it rained and dried

Don’t worry, they will notice a difference when the content eventually stops or drops in quality, or at the very least a large portion of it will move here

As for the app thing, they’re clearly ignorant and don’t know what they’re missing. That or they grew up with gross filtered feeds that were literally engineered to be toxic and addicting. Even I remember how addicting that shit was before they went a bit too crazy with ads and irrelevant posts. Used to be you could scroll and scroll thru Facebook and you wouldn’t run out of interesting posts from friends, groups etc. Now it’s all pages I don’t even like or follow. Adpocalypse 2.0

Arrrr matey, I code all my pirate maps in base64. I suggest ye do the same, matey. Arrrrrrrggggh 🦜
