In tomorrow’s VC pitch deck: Clipboard-as-a-service. Subscribers get two clipboards to start with. Each clipboard has a sensor that detects when it breaks, which will automatically trigger the shipment of a new clipboard to the owner. That way they’ll always have one working clipboard at all times.

Ah i wasn’t sure if you just wanted to follow or participate. This solution allows you to follow but not participate
Why do you need a 3d printer when carrots have been coming out of the ground for thousands of years.
they explain that in the article :)
US = the world, don’t you know?
I have the perfect solution - rdx.overdevs.com
It’s mobile-friendly, and you can follow/subscribe without creating an account. You can also import a list of current subscriptions from your old reddit account using a .json file.
The only issue is that it’s read-only and you can’t create an account, post or upvote. But given the shitstorm that is the reddit admin team, i view this as a good thing!
Decades of good work, all undone by her stubborn refusal to step down when the time was right.
And now the Supreme Court will lean conservative for decades to come.
I hate to say it, but I think it would have been a liberal win if instead of RBG, another left-leaning Supreme Court judge that was ineffective but stepped down at the right time was nominated instead.
technical and moderation features are factors within the admns’ control. growth isn’t

lemmy has become much tolerable after i blocked all the meme communities.
i also block hexbear and beehaw for separate reasons.
The problem is - on reddit, the userbase is large enough that I can decide what I want to talk about. If i want to discuss underwater basket weaving, there will be communities talking about that. lemmy is nowhere near big enough - there’s traction on /all/ but not on the smaller communities.
And that’s exactly why lemmy needs to grow its userbase significantly before it can ever become mainstream.
I took a trip out to the Rockies earlier this year, and booked an AirBnB. The listing was for the basement of a house where a lovely old retired couple lived. The basement was decorated and furnished beautifully, and we got to chat with the couple every now and then. They gave us recommendations to a farmer’s market which was pretty cool.
It was the first time I’ve ever booked an Airbnb that was true to its original mission. This is what AirBnb should be - renting out spare rooms - and not a turn-an-apartment-unit-into-a-hotel thing.
Who’s that
ASMR?
