Daaaad

Pissing into the wind.

Amazing!

Canada has Kijiji.

Try giving them catnip

It’s a deep subject

My cat too haha

We had to wager our houses to get the initial loans during startup. Loans are almost finished.

If I’m frugal, about a year. But I own a small business and this would only occur if my business is bankrupt. In which case debtors might chase my personal assets.

I actually locked the D&D community on lemmy.ca that I created once the ttrpg.network D&D community took off. I recommend that one. I could reactive the lemmy.ca if someone went sideways with that instance.

I also recommend the lemmyverse.net website for finding communities to subscribe to. Copy and paste the community name – should look something like [email protected] – into the search box and then subscribe.

Also, try to subscribe to communities that aren’t on lemmy.world, even if one exists on lemmy.world. Let’s avoid putting all of our eggs in one basket ;)

Before the enshittification took root, reddit was where I interacted the most with people online. You could buy a subscription to get an ad-free experience. It came with a bunch of Reddit gold you could hand out. Basically, help pay for server time, and get an ad-free experience without adblocking.

The amount of time I spent on Reddit I would compare to a Netflix subscription or similar.

In the ramp up to their IPO when they started to fuck with everything, my goodwill evaporated. I stopped moderating and abandoned my subs. Whenever I had new content I wanted to post, I instead post to the fediverse. So, there ya go 😅

It was a matter of time. The insanity cannot be normalized.

Request for info to be added to fundraising page: which fundraising payment options are processed by American companies. If they’re taking fees, I’d like those fees to go to Canadian firms.

Fuck it, sending an e-transfer. ;)

E: sent $100. The equivalent of two one-year reddit subscriptions. I cancelled my subscription to move over here. Good luck with the fundraising :)

Care to elaborate?

Meta question: this topic is about the act of reading, and not about any specific books. Is there a meta “reading” community where this topic would be better suited so as not to disrupt the signal-to-nouse ratio here? Or are we still small enough to keep everything lumped together.

Not meta, but related to the article: started reading a new (to me) sci fi series while on the beach last weekend (Canada Day long weekend). Primaterre. About a third into the first boon. Great escapism, mediocre writing. Will finish the first book and then read some reviews and see if the series is worth investing my time in. But, yeah, it feels good to zone out 😄

Patriotism is often equally bad.

Humanism ftw.

Got rained out playing Slopitch this evening. Too bad for the game, but good for beer. Happy Canada Day ya hosers. 🇨🇦

Wish you luck 🤞

That low eh
