In Becky Chambers’ Wayfarer series, there is a species who actually breathes methane. The focus though is less on how that actually happens and more on how they navigate as the only species for whom oxygen is toxic. It’s a great series, btw. It’s a not-quite-as-optimistic as star trek future, but still optimistic and with a vast range of species who are all intermingling as learning how to get along.

Not always, it was an octothorpe before phones

I always get excited when I see a new Konsi comic :)

Very accurate. But don’t worry, there are worse places along the way!

Proton and its services have been pretty good. Some things to know about proton mail:

• Search is only for titles, as content is encrypted
• You can do search in the body in your browser. It downloads your email into the browser and searchers locally. It takes a while to do this and build up indexes. I haven’t had too much issue searching for things though.
• Since they don’t read your email, no automatic calendar events if there isn’t a .ics

The VPN had been great

The storage isn’t enough for me to be able to move off of my main cloud provider. There also isn’t a way to pin a file on Android for it - and the 500gGB of space is less than I use

The Pass app is handy and it’s easy to make aliases, though it often doesn’t know to fill in, doesn’t do it, or something, and I need to open the app to copy paste. Pretty trivial though.

I’m sticking with them. I don’t really have a reason to leave. The aliases are really nice, the catch is that it’s not easy to have them go to a sub email address that I use - it has to go to your primary email. Not a huge deal though.

Tl;dr - fediverse probably won’t do too much, and it does have discoverability issues, along with migration issues

huh, there’s a whole instance just for the Ascendance of a Bookworm anime/manga

y’all are going to the doctor?

… I just did that. Literally opening as I got the notification 😭

Open lemmy. See this. Close lemmy.

No, as an American, you are only permitted to talk about events within the boarder of the land that you are in. For this reason, Americans are recommended to get summaries of recent events in any country they plan an extended stay in. Failure to comply can result in imprisonment, or event death.

Think woodlice 6 feet long, spiders the size of dogs, millipedes as big as cars, and dragonflies as big as eagles.

No, I don’t think I will

If you asked me to pick a state for that, Oregon would not have been it

While they likely do have the capability of doing that eventually, there are only two places in the world that have the capability of doing the super small nm scale chips: Netherlands and Taiwan. These machines are insanely complicated and precise. I wouldn’t be surprised if China was a decade or more away from doing it themselves. I could be wrong, but this scale of chips is an entirely different monster.

Now, they could be closer, but this particular job isn’t that simple.

I’ve usually got it collapsed on the side, so it’s fine. But yeah, it’s mobile first. I just found it early on and there wasn’t much else available. I just haven’t switched bc it hasn’t stopped me from doing the basic things

I’m using Sync for lemmy. I used it for reddit before.

On browser I use Voyager. It can be a bit confusing, but it’s finr

a lot of you here missed the point that this was how to get KIDS to swallow the pills. not you.
