On Mastodon, too. Some of my more niche interests are better represented there since Mastodon has more active users than Lemmy.

46 at present. Furry porn sites that weren't tagged NSFW, memes, shitposting, a number of communities from the h... server (you know the one), tankie communities.

I'm subscribed to a lot of communities, too, but I still use the all feed for discovery.

I still miss PSA. When I was growing up, if you were flying between Southern and Northern California you flew PSA. They were an institution.

And now that upstart Texas airline dominates inter-California routes.

Mid 60's in the US. I've always driven manual transmission cars. Fairly common for folks my age to know how to drive manual transmissions, since most of us had economy cars in the 70's and 80's. At that time, automatic transmissions were an expensive option and had a negative impact on acceleration and mileage.

My daughter is 29 and doesn't know how to drive a manual transmission and I don't think most of her peers can, either.

EDIT: Accidentally a manual.

Someone on the r thread mentioned that the window in the middle peak doesn't line up with the other windows, and now I can't unsee it. it's making me twitch.

Cool! I loved my Palm PDA back in the day, but mine wasn't nearly as fancy as that.

Sometimes I play rain/storm sounds I've downloaded from YouTube. Other times I use the iPhone white noise generator. I've set up 2 Siri shortcuts (one for sound on and one for sound off), but tapping the back sounds like a good way to do it, too.

That's too bad. I have 189,000 miles on mine (304,000 km) and it's never let me down. I haven't had to do anything but regular maintenance on it. I wanted to replace it with something a bit newer and nicer, but had to replace the car my wife and daughter share, instead. Fortuately, I don't drive very much so it will probably hold out for a few more years.

I'm not sure that actually works. You can search for a Mastodon user, but when you try to subscribe the sidebar buttons are missing on Lemmy.

My understanding is that you can subscribe to a Lemmy community in Mastodon, but not the other way around. Maybe there's a trick I'm missing?

Ha ha. Not carpet, but the brown grass is pretty on-brand for Portland in August.

Interesting article. I live in the Portland/Vancouver area and never gave much thought to the generic Geeps running around in local and yard service. Now that I know they're geriatric Geeps I'll pay more attention to them.

This is one of those times when I’m glad we Luddites in the US still use mostly SMS/MMS. I have managed to avoid anything Facebook/Meta and I would have been pissed if the messaging app that all my friends and family were already using was sold to Zuck.
