  • My go to favourite band is AFI, and they have a great back catalogue to dig into as they’ve been going since the 90s but have changed their style with the times (although always sort of emo/punk adjacent). I flip flop on my favourite album from them, currently I’d say it’s Sing The Sorrow but sometimes it’s Decemberunderground.

    My taste changes frequently though, so for something with a completely different style, I find myself constantly returning to Personal Protocol by 8485, a wonderful hyperpop EP with Drum & Bass influences.

    I hope you get something out of any of this, and would love to hear what you think!




  • I miss niche communities. I enjoy games like Shadowrun, Blood on the Clocktower and video games where there’s a lot of meta discussion (e.g. Payday 2 back in the day). There are some less specific similar communities on Lemmy, but they just don’t hit the same. When I’m thinking of TTRPGs, I’m thinking gritty cyberpunk with a bucket of D6s, but the rpg communities on here are very D&D and Pathfinder focused.

    I know the general response to this is “well you should start the community and generate the content”. But the issue is that, frankly, I’m not interested in that. Before Lemmy, rif was just the app I used to scroll mindlessly when I was bored at work. Lemmy is the replacement to that, even if it’s missing some of the specific content I’d want it to have.


  • Not OP but I’ve recently made the switch to Proton. You can set up a forward from your old mail provider to Proton, and then it’s just a case of going through things one by one to change them, but all your email will still be in one place. You can also import all your historic email in the background.

    I just went through my password manager to identify which services were most important to me to proactively switch them over, which took a couple of hours. Now I just check emails that come in and whether they were sent to my Google address or Proton address, and from ther either switch them or unsubscribe from their mailing list.

    So yeah it’s not effortless or anything, but it’s probably not as bad as you’re thinking.
