Haven’t physically LOLed in a long time. Excellent work sir.

Signed up for Lemmy.zip because I thought it was a cool domain, but turned out to be one of the most well run small fedi servers I’ve ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Thanks for all that ya’ll do!

Making crabs even more appealing is that they’re native to Florida, just in relatively low numbers. (“Everything eats them,” Spadaro said.) Adding them to the reef is unlikely to have any grave unintended consequences for the ecosystem, Spadaro said, especially considering that there are few other herbivores.

Yeah

It’s a little hard to imagine for us Americans, but internationally WhatsApp has a thriving unofficial ecosystem of businesses operating solely out of the chat app.

I love to hate on Meta as much as the next guy on Lemmy, but this is probably one of the sounder business decisions Meta has made in awhile.

MUDs. Text based (generally RPG) games with incredibly immersive story telling, near infinite levels of character customization, and many even feature ways for players to build on the world itself.

I’m surprised it’s not more popular amongst D&D enthusiasts.

In its hey day, people spent thousands of dollars just to boost their characters on massive for-profit MUDs like those created by Iron Realms. But smaller MUDs like Ancient Anguish were just as quality.

Sadly they’re going extinct. Only a few MUDs are still actively maintained.

Image file format with excellent compression. It’s designed for web browsers, so what you’re probably running into is compatibility with other programs. It’s fairly easy to convert though to GIF or JPEG formats though.

This is the original post that went viral. People started posting beans memes to prove that it’s true for themselves.

Now he’s going to pay the bots! 🤣

The Bob Ross Mountain Dew video is incredibly eerie. Don’t think Bob Ross would have ever done anything like that.

This..... is actually a pretty fucking good idea.

I’ve been coming to terms with the politics behind the Lemmy devs myself and I have to say I agree with the sentiment here.

It’s going to be a long road ahead if we cancel everyone with an opposing viewpoint.

Ultimately Lemmy remains free and open source. If new, more incriminating allegations show up about the devs, I hope that kbin would’ve made more progress by then. In the mean time, Lemmy works.
