@EgyptUrnash @BobQuasit oh I miss the old lj every day

@doctorzeromd @sailsperson I assume any smartphone - they often have comparable specifications to laptops but few keying options that don't suck.

@jmp242 @Morgueanna People these days aren't getting the practice they need to search and curate their online activities because the main platforms they grew up interacting on - twitter, insta, and tiktok, suggest communities and other users to you. They get intimidated without the assist they get from these suggestions because the breadth of options is overwhelming if you don't know how to navigate, and without very clear intervention and ramps for low-skill users it's hard to retain anyone who doesn't have the time and inclination to learn. Took me a while to figure that out, eventually learned it from a research librarian that she's actually got to work harder to teach people how to search these days.

@Arystique Imgur is deleting anonymously uploaded photos to save costs. that is .... most of them

@Arystique Invest in and preserve Imgur

@redditrefugee @Archit bit of a rude word to call her, especially in the US if you're not from here and your culture is a lot more relaxed on that word. So while it's gross that they've banned you I'm kind of not surprised that kind of language would attract that kind of attention.

1. take advantage of others' wisdom.

Check out a local gardening group to learn from experienced people; To look up public resources about what grows well in your area instead of immediately jumping in to trying to keep something happy that has particular care needs. In the US, garden or agricultural extensions, and understanding what 'USDA grow zone' you live in, go a long way towards selecting plants that will thrive in your area and set you and your garden up for success.

2. to learn to listen to what plants are telling us. learning to observe growth and behavior to evaluate health is a skill that applies to a lot of different plants and helps you build experience, independence, and thinking skills instead of focusing on what the packet says and doing that to the exclusion of what the plant is asking for.
