As somebody who didn’t, for once, have this specific problem today, but had a printing problem nonetheless, I feel so triggered by this post.
Why the actual fuck is printing so much harder today than it was a decade ago. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills that we are halfway through 2023 and I have more printing issues than I did even 4-5 years ago, let alone back in the golden days of literally never having printing issues in the first half of my lifetime.
This is where I am. I am having trouble finding much stimulating conversation over here, as I try to sift through all these memes and curate a feed. So I pop over there every couple of days, but dip out when I tire of scrolling old.Reddit on my phones browser. It doesn’t take long.
I love it so much, I really hope that guy sees it. Should be framed and hanging on a wall in an out of the way room of his house, for sure.
I tried this before the changes and it worked great, I got to the point of clicking a button to edit and delete, but figured I’d wait. On July 1 I couldn’t get it to work, would let me log into Reddit to give permissions but would take me directly (and only) to Reddit chat, which I’ve never used. Haven’t tried it since then, hopefully it’s fixed, or not sure what happened there.
I use wefwef and for me the scrolling is similar to Apollo and scratches the itch. I am struggling, though, with subscribing to communities and curating my feed. But also remembering my Reddit feed took years to curate so trying to be patient. I just find more hoops to jump through here to get to the content I want to view (discounting the bugginess of things because I understand it’s new and they’re sorting it out still).
Bummer there wasn’t a bigger visible hit to Reddit for their shenanigans, but I am glad that more content creators have migrated and more interesting things are also appearing in the feed I have been working on here. It is very green and clunky, but also feels fresh!
So what’s happening over at Reddit? I assume all is still well over there. But after ten plus years, I actually haven’t been over there since Apollo died because I’ve just been busy and scrolling here before bed instead of the old Reddit browser.
I assume it’s business as usual and it didn’t implode, but honestly it’s been like three days since I’ve been there and that’s probably one of my longer streaks without casually browsing at some point in the day.
It’s weird, I read and respond to texts and listen to audiobooks on my phones speaker in the shower all the time. There’s a ledge outside of the water spray so it’s easy to navigate. I mean texts can usually wait but the ability to continue my audiobook from my headphones to my phone speakers for showering is key.
I ran this in my account the other day in preview but didn’t pull the trigger since I was waiting for Apollo to die. Now when redact asks me to log into my Reddit account, I do and give it permission, and all it does is open Reddit chat. I can’t figure out what’s different or why it won’t do anything else. Using the same iMac.
I mean, maybe users are just excited about finding a place to land after the exodus, and an app that does feel very similar to Apollo.
I am using it based off seeing it mentioned a couple times and was very pleasantly surprised it’s similar to Apollo. Definitely makes the transition easier.
You’re thinking too small. You’ve got to ask to have your kids do everything you ask them to do.
So you say bedtime, they go to sleep. You say sit still and quiet for this particular moment, they listen. You say look here and smile, bam, instant beautiful family picture.
I’d settle for them listening after the third time I asked them to do something. I’m not greedy.
For the sleep thing, melatonin is magical. 1/4 of a 1mg melatonin chewable is barely anything but it’ll knock them out because they think it’s supposed to. I could switch to gummy bears now and I bet it would still work on them.
