Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance?
  • I’m using the free version and not missing the paid features!

  • What Does Fabric Conditioner Do? And Should I Use It?
  • Same with great results! Especially if you have hard water.

  • Mastodon is Rewinding the Clock on Social Media — in a Good Way
  • I prefer pull vs push media. Less intrusive. I have a feeling lemmy users may also like RSS feeds for the control it provides. I know in mastodon you decide who to follow, but the whole culture to encourage re-blogging means a lot of potential unwanted crap in our feeds.

  • Trudeau seeking advice from youth on 'pressing concerns' to inform future policy
  • I’m still very bitter about the broken electoral reform promise.

  • What’s something you couldn’t get into, but feel like you should?
  • As far as TV shows: The Expanse and Foundation. I really want to like them but the first 3-4 episodes left me quite meh. Someone tell me it’s a slow start and gets better?

    I tend to put more priority to story line vs special effects or action scenes.

  • Professional Women's Hockey League Original Six announced - League starts in January 2024
  • They may sell a package for all streams like the NHL does? Not sure. It’s a 24 game season so would make sense.

    What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?
  • I had to create a “if you add one, you sell one” rule after running out of shelf space.

  • What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?
  • European expansion is worth it! I like the round end goals!

  • What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?
  • You raise good points. The expensive part for me was the discovery aspect. Once you know what you like it’s not bad but the learning part…trying all the different greens and oolongs and pu’er and black teas - that was a little nuts at the beginning.

    Now I have about 10 varieties that I like for different occasions and I stick to those and it’s not too bad.

    Biggest splurge for me was an ember mug. Im a little embarrassed by how expensive it was, but honestly no regrets. Perfect temp tea for hours.

  • What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?
  • I have! …then full circle back to grandpa style. I still use a gaiwan from time to time on the weekend but I like bringing a container up with me at my desk without needing to refill constantly.

  • What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?
  • Similar but different : tea! You go from cheap bagged tea to going down the rabbit hole of loose leaf variations, temp control kettles, brewing vessels and brewing styles.

  • 🫡 Thank you for sending me down a rabbit hole of early Federation days which made me rediscover Tellarites.

  • How quick are you to understand new game instructions?
  • I don’t get a ton of satisfaction or have patience learning rules of complex games anymore. I decided to embrace games that have tough choices but with super simple mechanics instead.

    Games like Scout, The Crew, Wingspan…easy to teach and fun to master.

  • What are some small, pocketable/keychainable items that are worth carrying everywhere you go?
  • This handy aspirin holder. Could save the life of someone having a heart attack. https://www.saveaheart.ca/

    Whats your favourite meal combo at CTC?

    It’s not shawarma, but those egg rolls are a solid option.

    Enterprise era new trek show?
  • I’m with you! The show wasn’t perfect but it was cool to see a crew explore before the prime directive , stable transporters and the federation. Tons of opportunities to explore that further.

    what's your all time favorite cereal?
  • I mix them. Not sure if this is weird or common. Honey Nut Cheerios and Rice Krispies are a good combo. Vectors with Rice Krispies too. Alone: Golden Grahams.

    Microsoft shuts down Cortana, Apple should do the same with Siri
  • Agreed. I find myself using Siri on walks via AirPods quite a bit. Siri what’s the weather going to be like tonight . Siri what’s in my calendar tomorrow. Siri what’s the latest news. (That opens up podcast app and plays local news I love it. ). Siri let me know when it’s 12:30. I just wish it got better at answering simple questions. A few articles mentioned Apple started looking at incorporating a GPT style AI with Siri.

  • What's a good podcast you like?
  • Hidden Brain, Search Engine, The Knowledge Project

  • What is an item below 100 bucks that everyone should own?
  • It’s great for quinoa, farro and couscous too. Love our tiger rice cooker, it’s a work horse!

  • What is a good hobby for a depressed person?
  • Little things that make solo hikes even more enjoyable:

    • Merlin Bird Sound ID app.
    • Bringing one piece of hard candy with you
    • If you must listen to something, get earphones with a transparency setting where you can still hear birds and leaves crunching under your feet
    • A dog
  • Interest in being a mod for ottawasenators ?

    Hey! I reached out to our mod and haven’t heard back. Might be a case of trying out Lemmy then not sticking around I’m not sure. No grudge or hate at all I’m happy someone kicked things off. I would just like this community to get a chance at thriving and hard to do that without an active mod.

    Anyway, Lemmy.ca came up with a process to request taking over dead communities.

    https://lemmy.ca/post/2166059

    I’ve never been a mod before but would be willing to give it a go if I could get a few other Sens fans on board. Don’t really want to do it solo.

    I’m thinking we need a community icon and a better side bar to kick things off….

    Interested?

    Inconsistency browser vs PWA .

    I posted something, received a notification someone replied, but when I click on my original message the comment isn’t there. Even after swiping to refresh. If I go on the browser and go to Lemmy.ca I do see the comment. I have checked my settings and don’t see why it would possibly be hidden.

    Alright where the heck is the sens fanbase in the fediverse

    I’m following the official Sens Twitterbot and the #GoSensGo hashtags on Mastodon but I want to make sure I’m not missing out on a more active Lemmy community or anything else out there.

    Old Ottawa ISP providers

    We had a chat at work about the good old days where ISPs were local startups.

    I was with Magma, he was with Primus. We were trying to find the other ones that were out there ! Help us remember Lemmy!

    Small scale , local, independant journalism

    This link was shared by our non profit community radio station. It’s a great way to get news that would never make the national headlines.
