Helped a guy and reduced landfill waste, all in one move. Time well spent.

Google is fine for most people, but it shouldn't be the sole backup. If you don't have (at least) 3 separate instances of a backup, you don't really have a reliable backup strategy. Preferably an onsite hard backup, an offsite hard backup, and a cloud backup.

I assume you're kidding, but if not... He was on the flight with Amelia Earhart when they disappeared.

His name was Fred Noonan.

That's the article that convinced me I didn't want to run a Lemmy instance.

It most likely triple counts users like me. I have a Mastodon, kbin, and Lemmy account, (all under the same username), but those would be counted as 3 Fediverse accounts. I think the metrics to look at are posts and comments.

Not so fun fact: Benadryl™ and similar drugs have been linked to dementia in older patients. I found this out when my doc told me to quit taking it as a sleep aid.

I deleted 16 years worth of my 'content' across 6 handles and moved to Lemmy/kbin. When I do go back to check on Reddit, it's easy to see that many of the better contributors are gone, the quality of comments and posts, as well as the voting on posts, has greatly diminished. Some subs barely have anything in their 'new' queues.

Wow, when you see them, you can't unsee them.

"Redditor for 16 years" which is how long ago Digg shat the bed. Reddit has followed in their footsteps.

I’ve used Affinity for many years, I really like it, and for the low one-time price, it’s been a spectacular value. That said, it can no longer even compare to Photoshop given their incredible AI capabilities and some of their other integrated features. In my case, I’ll stick with Affinity because I’m more of a hobbyist, but if I was a graphics professional, I’d most certainly have to use Photoshop.
