JMP.chat is the correct answer, I set up a Canadian number for a friend to use for SMS + calls. Message me if you need help.

Not me but a good friend of mine met a girl and lied about his job. He was already working a decent job as a floor salesman while applying to be a flight attendant which paid more money. He told her he already had the position he was applying for, which he never got and it kept snowballing until he could no longer come clean without major consequences. For 6 months, he had to make up a fake flight schedule, fake work-related anecdotes, etc., Needless to say when he eventually came clean she ended things, and I suppose he learned a very strange but valuable lesson. It was pretty funny to me at least.

“Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. So far very powerful writing. Just finished reading “Tuesday’s with Morrie” which is fantastic.

I use Jellyfin but I have family who can’t side load the Jellyfin app on their TV’s, so… Plex for them

A few years ago I downloaded a browser extension to stop showing me recommended videos, both on the homepage and on the side of videos. I can only watch what I’m subscribed to and what I search for - you’d think its a big sacrifice because you can’t discover as many videos, but in reality I’ve gained so much more of my time back and control over what I actually want to watch.

Also been using this for several years and can concur, simple, easy-to-use, never let me down.

MacOS with a tiling window manager for work, Win10 on PC for gaming and Linux on all servers. I would run Linux for work if Office, Adobe and esp. Outlook ran on it, MacOS with Yabai + SKHD is the closest I can get to a Linux experience while still being functional for work.

Agree with this, sunk 3k hours into that game before i finally quit a couple years ago. It’s gotten progressively worse over time, what a shame.

“Woo-sah”

Its crazy seeing how much engagement there is on posts, I really like lemmy, even before the reddit influx, so far so good.
