  • Oh no please anything but starting questions with Lemmings of Lemmy!

    So I went hiking by myself on an old abandoned logging road once and got a little bit up there, pretty far away from the main road. I hadn’t noticed anything like bear poo but you have to always be on guard. Well eventually I got to a point where an animal didn’t like me being up there and started huffing and snorting at me. I turned and left because whatever it was, it was not happy. I never saw the animal but given the location and the noises I’m pretty sure it was a moose, and you definitely don’t want to get into it with an angry moose.


  • The issue here is that your wife bought this thinking it’s an ac when it’s an evaporative cooler aka swamp cooler. They do work if you have low humidity. If you are in a humid area this definitely won’t work. Since the unit is small it won’t cool the entire room but she should feel nice and cool about 3 to 5 feet in front of it. She will need to make sure the wicking action is working to get the pads nice and wet, otherwise she will have to manually remove them to wet them.

    Edit: I wanted to add that I have had a similar small unit before which is why I know that she needs to be 3 to 5 feet in front of it to hit the little target cool zone.











  • Maybe? But a lot of people have exited reddit over the last month. Maybe not the average user but not the most hardcore geek anarchist either-they weren’t on Reddit to begin with. Then there are the obvious reasons that a lot of people have left Twitter an those are the same type of people leaving reddit. So mastodon is probably more at risk than Lemmy but I don’t think for a second that meta would not throw together a Lemmy competitor if they smell any money whatsoever in it.

    Either way you run risks simply by interacting with threads, even if you interact accidentally. Their entire business model is to suck every last piece of data out of you that they can so they can sell in every way they can possibly think of to monetize it.

    Since lemmyworld has no intention of blocking them I’m finding another instance to move to. Better safe than sorry with a company that has a horrific record on every single issue. And that way if they federate then back out, I won’t be losing anything because I’ll have never seen that content to begin with.
