I personally like Mullvad, their practices, and their straightforward price of 5€/month. They’re not going to try to lure you in with discounts by subscribing for multiple months or years. Now if Mullvad has gone downhill, someone chime in.

During the game was a great time to go to ER in my area because the hospital was less busy. Less wait time.

Really nice. Do you test it for water resistance?

Thanks, you put into clear words a lot of my jumbled thoughts and expanded on it. It's a tough choice for the Beehaw admins with pros and cons either way; a tug-of-war on whether the community is strong enough / has what they need to handle this far from perfect world. It would be a loss from the wider Lemmy community, but based on a few outspoken comments we can see there are also people with a "good riddance" stance.

I think Beehaw needs to do what's best for them first, as an administrative team and for their core community. When they're stronger, I'm sure we'll feel and see their presence on the wider stage. After all, time is intrinsic to progress.

Started playing Lost Judgment, interspersed with Baldur's Gate 3 whenever I can play with my friend.

Specifically, we chose Lemmy as the software that we would use to launch our endeavor to attempt a safe space for marginalized persons online.

As a relatively non-marginalized person, I think it's important to focus on this. Beehaw has grown beyond the marginalized group. If Beehaw were to leave Lemmy, the non-marginalized would be fine and can switch to different instances. The marginalized would follow Beehaw for that safe space.

It comes down to the purpose of a safe space. There's the group of people that want to avoid bigots, and there's the group that want to be a light unto the world, to effect change.

An example of a little bit of positive Beehaw has had outside of their community would be the influence it has had on me. I've read posts from the LGBT+ community that enlightened me to things I've never thought about. But I'm also not a bigot, just naive.

The negative is what has prompted these discussions: the bigoted trolls. It's just not sustainable for the small Beehaw team to moderate everything.

My view is that it's of utmost importance to maintain the safe space for the marginalized. Of those marginalized who want to connect outside the safe space, they are free to engage in Lemmy/Reddit and spread their light.

What would I do? I would find a new instance and continue to be receptive to LBGT+ discussions that come up on Lemmy. I don't feel right asking Beehaw to stay on Lemmy at the cost of keeping marginalized people safe from bigots. They deserve to be able to talk about things without having bigots come at them; to be able to laugh and cry and vent and have others understand—especially with the US Right becoming more brazen in their persecution of this community.

Just my 2 cents.

Ubuntu 9.04. Jaunty Jackelope in 2009. Started by dual booting my Windows laptop. XP mainstream support ended that year, and I didn't want to upgrade to Vista, nor could my laptop handle 7.

Those indices really do pop with this angle! Majestic

Trying to finish FF7R and Intergrade in time for BG3.

Is it just the photo angle or does the crown need to be screwed in?

I also like the BB58 colors more than the BB54.

I was initially going to do a snarky TL;DW because of the click bait title, but instead the video impressed me. She first talks about the science behind microwaves and water molecules, and with that understanding she explains the benefit of microwaving certain things at 50% power. Later she gives a tip about frying stuff in the microwave. Worth the 10+ minutes!

My hair!

Honestly, I’m kind of scared. How does roughly half the US garner so much hatred for the “other,” those different from them? It’s always been there, but it’s way more widespread than I thought. These so-called Christians can go to hell if they profess to go against their Jesus’ teachings.

Life, uh, finds a way.

I would try it! Made me think of Taiwanese xiao long bao and buns that can be made as entrees (meats and veggies) or as desserts (taro, chocolate, red bean, etc).

Oh, pass it on to the consumer. Pay no attention to the millions they’re paying each C suite exec.

I was considering switching from Netflix to Hulu, but never mind. When wages don’t increase along with inflation…

I miss eating spicy food. I've cut out a lot of it because of the acid reflux it gives me.

In my early 20s I lifted a TV with my back because I didn't know better. The back pains seem to come back more frequently these days.

I used to play so much tennis. Any injuries now seem to take forever to heal.
