How do you find content to consume on social media? in c/[email protected]

I don't see a way to do it in Voyager's settings, but if you go to lemmy.world in a web browser and go to your settings, there is a "Block" tab at the top next to settings. Go to that and you can block users, instances, or communities.

Bi-weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? in c/patientgamers
[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I've been playing Dead Space remake on PS5 since it was free last month. Still haven't beaten it yet as I've had very little time. Been loving it though. Just hope I finish by the time the Christmas season starts in earnest haha. Kind of conflicting vibes.

I like going to Gillette to see the Revs play. Not a fan of them moving to Everett.

My comment in c/technology:

I’m kind of on Google’s side here. Especially during covid, chatting in IM essentially replaced hallway chatter. Nobody would want all of their verbal communications in an office being recorded on the record. Having IMs be off the record by default seems reasonable to me.

I wonder how many of us will read this article lol (I haven't).

This Planet's On Fire (Burn In Hell) in c/[email protected]

Well, like I mentioned you still need some sort of interaction with kids. Or maybe influence their parents enough to have them indirectly pass on those values you imparted on them. But I still think that if the smartest, kindest, most compassionate people among us stop having kids... well then that's not great for that next generation. I've just always felt that giving up one of the primary factors of life, reproduction, seems very defeatist. But on the other hand, if someone genuinely doesn't want children then by all means don't.

The catch-22 is that if the people with environmental values don't have kids, those values aren't passed on to the next generation (unless they become teachers or media personalities).

Ugh.

It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (5 children)

Loose rhymes with noose. I can't think of a word that's spelled and pronounced like lose so you have me there.

choose lose cruise booze

all rhyme lol

Not logged into lemmy.world when entering from google (lemmy.world)
 

When I open Firefox and go to lemmy.world, I am logged in. But if I click a lemmy.world link from Google, I am not logged in on that page. This is annoying because logging in from that page then requires 2-factor authentication. In general this makes upvoting or commenting on posts needlessly cumbersome.

(Note that I am clicking on a lemmy.world link, not another instance like lemmy.ml -- although, it would be really cool if it could somehow route me to lemmy.world's instance of that lemmy community -- I'm not sure if a workaround for that exists).
