I am confused by people’s shopping habits. How often are you buying online and what is it?

Groceries and pharmacy are all local. Clothes are a local boutique (I don’t buy clothes more than one or twice a year and I like to try things on and buy quality items). Shoes are from a local redwing store that I’ve been wearing for over 8 years. Computer parts I do tend to buy online, but I’d never risk buying from Amazon. I typically buy from b&h, cdw, or directly from the manufacturer.

Lemmy and the fediverse is not about free speech and democratizing a platform, it is about eliminating central authority.

Lemmy.world can enforce whatever stupid rules they want on their instance and their communities. But none of that stops you from running your own instance and a community on your instance where you can enforce your rules.

I hope Vance starts off with some of his amazing jokes /s

If you’d like to understand the electoral college better, I highly recommend reading Heather Cox Richardson’s blog post this week. She is a historian that reflects on current events through the lens of history:

A great, great, great, great grandparent.

I’ve given up on YouTube because of its terrible interface and just use tube archivist + Jellyfin.

Food is crazy. My wife went to jersey mikes and got a sandwich for herself. It came out to $17.50!

🍻here’s to all the developers out there who makes sure there site works great not only with Firefox, but also with ublock origin and piholes!

It is always shocking to me how many sites or apps completely fail to load if you dare block google analytics!

I have an offline raspberry pi hooked up to my tv that just plays Futurama. There is no controller, no ability to switch episodes, it just continues playing randomly. If you turn on the TV it will just be in the middle of a random futurama episode.

I’ve finally ripped all my original Trek DVD/Blu-Rays and am going to make a second one for Trek.

The only choice I’ll have to make then is input 1 for Futurama or input 2 for Trek!

Interesting. I don’t see this issue.

I have a dedicated music player with all my favorite music for offline listening (fiio x3 and also a pinephone with lollipop)

I also have a Jellyfin server and use finamp on my phone. It isn’t public so I have an always on WireGuard vpn.

For my stereo, I have a raspberry pi hooked up. It runs mpd and mounts the same music directory as Jellyfin using nfs.

The raspberry pi also has an nfc reader and I have nfc cards with printed artwork on them. Tapping them to the reader starts playing that album.
