Daaaaamn!

Whatever you're smoking must be so dank that skunks try to mate with it

Yeah. You can block the bot, and it takes care of all of it. I've got it blocked and haven't seen anything from it in days now.

Overall, probably strawberry rhubarb, despite the fact that I'm otherwise not a big strawberry fan.

However, I make lemon meringue pie from scratch every now and then, and my lemon meringue pie is my favorite pie of all. I've gotten my crust recipe dialed in, and I've gotten my curd making tuned for exactly the right consistency. After I got mine down, I don't like other people's as much as I used to.

But key lime pie? It isn't my favorite, but damn is it good :)

Oh yeah, while I won't do subscriptions as a matter of principal, if mr Dawson wants to issue a new version every time there's a significant code rework, I'd pay every time with a smile on my face. I do it with paprika (the best recipe manager out there) on all the platforms. I'm kinda expecting a new version in the next year or two from them, tbh.

I much prefer that model of monetization. Buy the software, you own it and can use it as long as there's hardware and OS that can run it. Want the next version? It's just like buying a different program. It worked very well for decades. Shit, I could (if there were a point beyond having fun) crank things up and run word 98, I still have the discs lol.

And I still use the old paprika on my oldest tablet, as well as the newer version on newer devices. Which, it's cool as hell my old nook is still running.

I'd do the same with sync. I want to buy it again. Sync for lemmy is not the same software, even if it's heavily based in the old code. I want developers to be able to make a damn living so that we can have great apps. I just hate software as a service in principle. Like, the fancy extras that Apollo and sync did with premium is a different thing entirely! I'm talking about paying every month just to use an app when I object to subscriptions

Hell, Mr Dawson could charge way more than the pro version of sync was, and I'll pony up for damn sure. I dunno if anyone here ever had reason to talk to him on reddit, but he's such a good dude. Devs like that are bloody rare, and need to be cherished.

I mean, the limits of the human body are fairly fixed in terms of what we can do with them. And, you're better off just slightly tweaking things. Like, my arthritis, I'd want to dial back the inflammation and immune response for, but if you cut those back too much, it hinders other things.

I'd definitely regulate the bowels though, make sure things stayed regular and smooth, as much as possible. IBS is a pain in the ass, so being able to adjust that down to minimum hassle would be life changing, literally.

But most things? You don't wanna fuck with day-to-day operations. You really only want to adjust when things are going wrong, and even then, not as much as you'd think.

You'd think the switching off the internal triggers for depression and anxiety would be great, but everything is connected. You start fucking with that outside of major events, and you throw off everything else because the dopamine, oxyticin, serotonin, norinephine, and other neurochemicals affect each other too much.

So, the key would be to delicately adjust all of that, a little bit at a time, so that you get relief without leaving you unable to process emotions at all.

I think that's where the "power" would be best directed for most people. Keeping mental shit from being overwhelming.

The obvious exception is stuff like my arthritis, autoimmune disorders. The ability to just say "nope, don't attack that at all" would be bonkers. Think about it, Crohn's, MS, all the horrible shit that can happen when the immune system is out of whack, that's within the scope of what you're asking.

Hell, if you want to stretch it, most cancers are part of the function of the organ they're in. It's the normal cells going batshit and replicating out of control. So you'd never have to worry about cancer.

That would be incredible.

My t480 came in right at that price, and is doing very well for word processing and media consumption.

But Linux is almost always going to do well on low end stuff compared to Windows.

Too soon ;)

It gives us the great joy of saying "fuck 'em"

There's obviously bots, but some folks do multiple accounts as default (I do for sure), and others just want to have a bit of padding against instance failure. Others don't realise you don't need to have an account on an instance to access it lol.

That is not a good thing imo

Just so you know, using the term subreddit when you mean a community on lemmy could result in people not realizing what you mean, since this community is for lemmy support.

Anyone just scrolling by is going to think you're asking about something on reddit. I did, and came in to see if you'd been caught by one of their new censorship filters. Can't help you with lemmy stuff, I'm too new here.

Thanks be to the euro-gods!
