I liked the UI when I first encountered it, but it being invite-only killed what interest I had in it pretty quick during the 2023 reddit exodus. Seems to still be invite only in 2026.

I use container tabs for that. Makes it easy to keep two logged in accounts side-by-side.

I wonder how they'd take to being called "morbidly rich"? 🤔️

I talk to my Dad about once a week or so for maybe 20 or 30 mins. Usually just "How's it going?" kind of small talk. Work. Health issues. Sometimes about food or hobbies. Commiserating about politics. Updates about relatives moving/getting jobs/etc. Things like that. Helps us both stay sane in this crazy world.

Once a month or so, I talk to my uncle. He's more chatty, so those calls go on for longer. He likes to tell me bits of family lore, about his interests in detail, about food and his pet and what's going on with his friends and neighbors -- like trips he's taken with them to go out shopping and such.

My other relatives don't talk to me very often, so those are more of life catch-up talks every couple months/years or conversations about specific things that I have skills in that they'd like help learning.

Maybe try asking your mom what's on her mind lately -- other than you -- and take it from there? Most people love to talk about themselves if given a chance. Ask questions about what she says and try to find a topic of mutual interest.

No, we are communicating. People can coordinate their actions to achieve things that are impossible for an individual. We obviously don't have perfect shared understanding, and miscommunications are not uncommon (as others have already pointed out) but we can exchange enough information to do useful things.

Also, we can make jokes. The fact that it's possible to craft a joke and make someone laugh by setting up and intentionally subverting expectations through language is pretty good evidence that we have shared understanding and similar processing.

Looking back through your history, that's a post by a user local to your instance. You can see it because you're on the same instance.

If I understand how federation works correctly, posts don't go directly to the instance a community is on when they are made. They are created locally on your own instance, and then federate out if/when they can. Since you're both on the same instance, you can see the post and interact with it, but the post and your comments are (presumably) stuck in a queue trying to federate to the now defunct instance. Since lemm.ee is gone, it can't federate out, so other people don't see the post/comment on their instance.

I think that's what's going on.

@FireWire400@lemmy.world, @BoozeOrWater@piefed.social: FYI -- possible automoderation issue in this thread. Can you please take a look?

@whaleross@lemmy.world -- if there's a better option for getting moderator help, I don't know what it is. Hopefully one of them is online and can help figure out what's going on and get it sorted. For what it's worth, I didn't see a problem with what you wrote in that comment. Cheers.

Modlog says "Automatic deletion due to block". So, it seems like a bot removed it? Not really sure why though. This comment came through fine.

if anyone knows a better solution to sharing videos that doesn't involve making accounts, please let me know!

You can upload small files (under 200MB) to https://catbox.moe/

I don't know how to fix your trackpad issue though. Sorry.

Damn. You made out like a bandit!

BlueSky uses AT Protocol which is similar to how you break things down: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT_Protocol

Should be trivial to set up something like that if you've got parts you want to work with. Any desktop with an automatic background switcher should be able to cycle through images in a directory you specify on a timer. Set up your favorite remote access software (SSH, Samba, NFS ...) and you're done. If you want more control over the behavior, you could script up something custom with a little more effort -- but it's still not particularly hard to implement something like that.

Watch out for burn in on the screen if you're leaving it on all the time.
