Surely you mean Sherman?

Custer was the bigot a**hole who decided to pick a fight he couldn’t win with native Americans at Little Big Horn.

Sherman was the general who set fire to the south and razed the land from Georgia to the sea.

Yeah, I thought Soulseek went the way of Limewire and Kazaa when things like Pirate Bay and whatnot became go-to sites…

I mean, back in the day it was amazing, anything I wanted I could just about find. Random One Hit Wonder Japanese pop-punk band that I only heard about in passing? Yeah I could find their whole discography on Soulseek. It was awesome. I wish I could remember that band now..

We do have Social Security that gets paid into, but it’s not a whole lot and if Republicans get their way, they will siphon the money meant for our generation in order to fund frivolous things like walls.

For me it was a quarterly town hall with hospital leadership and they kept pushing “we are a business…” and all I could think was “no, we are a hospital…” because being a business is indicative of being profit motivated. I know, I know, that’s exactly what it is, but it just really bothered me to hear that line over and over.

Yeah, I was working contract, contract ended abruptly and now I’ve been out of a job since September. Despite the amount of layoffs happening in tech, it seems a lot of other industries are holding on to people.

I think I read the stat that in 2022 LinkedIn had 1 job posted for 1 person searching, in 2023 they had 1 job posted for every 2 people searching according to their research team. Companies can be more selective with an over abundance of applicants, miss qualified ones with floods of resumes, or just straight fly “just in case” postings.

This has been the roughest few months of my life, and I’ve done a combat tour in Iraq.

I think it’s possible. Tinker with the features, do some mockups, explore everything, “this is a great app, now if I can just get everything rolled over to this..” and then you don’t because it takes a moment of effort and then you forget.

Happens to me all the time. You can think an app is great, but haven’t had a chance to fully use it. Like I’m a huge fan of ClickUp for keeping things on track, but I also have adhd which means I end up forgetting to use it. Great app, crappy brain.

Are they back in decent form at all? Me and my partner stopped watching a long time ago due to the downward spiral of their content quality and editing. It just became more of “how many times can we roll our eyes over the course of a video” than anything else.

Which sucks because our mutual enjoyment of them (among other things) was one of the things that brought us together.

(For reference, I started watching around 2012, her around 2016, and we stopped watching somewhere in 2019)

 

Over the last several weeks, according to my Screen Time, I roughly average 20hrs using Apollo weekly. Don't judge me.

So far this week I have only used Apollo 18 minutes and used either Mlem or the webapp for individual instances for around 5 hours (and that's not counting time that I have spent on desktop here which I don't usually do for Reddit, Apollo was Reddit for me).

That said, I think that is thanks to how this community immediately came together and started working hard to build things up, and the amazing admins, like @[email protected] for maintaining order and stability as the influx hit the servers. If this mass exodus had happen at any point in the last several years, I feel a lot of people would just wait it out or fractured across the web. But, thanks to Lemmy and Kbin being up at the right time for this to happen it has propelled the online communities into the next step in the grand internet experiment.

So, big thanks to everyone here making things happen and to the Lemmy OGs for taking us in, and admins for keeping a rough over our heads as we settle in.

I think it is because they put it behind cloudflare for ddos protection. I think they are going to change that at some point once the migration calms down. I think.

 

Not sure if it has been mentioned, I couldn't find anything. I think one of my biggest issues is that no matter how I sort things I will scroll half way down the page then suddenly everything shifts because of posts added to the top being <1m old.

Is there anyway to prevent new post from auto-populating so i can actually make it to the bottom of a page? Or is it something janky on my end that is causing it?
