Basically there was a huge amount of porn spam posts being made and comments to a bunch of threads in this community

Yeah this community is getting blasted with porn

Report, block, and hope it’s not too many accounts

I’m definitely happy I didn’t open Lemmy until I got home from work today

Edit: And even this thread it seems.

I still recommend it with a little asterisk:

Disable a bunch of shit in it or download a privacy focused fork of it (like Librewolf)

That repo doesn’t, hell it mentions that you need to dump them yourself not even mentioning the possibility of other means.

Not sure about the others though.

My Mini Factory is primarily where I get mine (if you want a list of users I primarily buy mine)

Cults3D is another place but they’re a lot more hit and miss on quality IMO

The best models are purchased models (in general) though MZ4250 on Printables models are free and also pretty high quality.

Personally I won’t pirate models of people in the 3D printing mini community as I want to support the creators in that space as they’re not giant megacorps.

I had to look into it because once you mentioned that I was curious.

So the saying originated sometime before 1930 when it first appeared in print and likely in the 1800s. (Source)

And when I went to an inflation calculator the earliest date I could select was January of 1913. Which I couldn’t help but share the results of.

About $3.20.

So yeah, about a dime a dozen… 111 years ago lol.

USBs nowadays are a dime a dozen basically for 16GB sticks

They can literally be bought in 10 packs for less than $30.

If they don’t give one back nowadays so be it.

Back in the day it was a terrible loss though

I AM HUMAN!

I hate to be the one to break it to you friend but neither of us are.

I would have picked the burger as well.

Yeah it’s lip service, but it’s lip service they pay due to feeling like we are a marketable demographic.

They feel that advertising to us as a group and making the haters mad is more profitable than the alternative.

Thank you

It wasn’t easy but I’d recommend it to everyone for sure

I’ve lost quite a few people to various addictions over the years. Only 1 to drinking.

Sobriety can be a real bitch to maintain at first but it gets easier the longer you’re sober. Especially if you utilize the new found clarity of mind to address the causes of your addiction.

I’ll never drink again.

As someone who also struggled with alcoholism, I wish I quit way sooner than I did.

This September will mark 6 years sober.

It’s the longest I’ve ever been sober in my entire life.

So many people commuting to jobs that could easily be done from home nowadays

I work in the freight industry in a position I can’t do from home but when the whole work from home thing was in full swing I didn’t get stuck in traffic except a few times when the local drawbridge went up

Seeing kids surpass me in skills I taught them how to do is (for me) a fantastic feeling

I want to see them be better than I was at whatever I taught them

It truly is bliss being disconnected from everything every now and then

No Internet, no phone calls, no texts, nothing.

Being truly disconnected from the world at large.

If people need me, they can wait until I get back from my hike or my vacation as I’m truly unreachable unless someone hikes out there too.

Spitting facts right there

Hell my favorite places to go hiking don’t even have cell service

Cheap VPNs typically are cheap for a reason, and those reasons typically make them not worth the savings (like logging data and selling it)

Of course if your country doesn’t care then sail away brother and be sure to seed

My country unfortunately cares a lot so a VPN is mandatory for me

Some of your data may have still been borked BTW

It’s best practice to maintain a backup

I’m better at it than I used to be but unfortunately I lost a lot of data to learn that lesson

My drive started ticking a long time ago, I thought I successfully saved my data but when I dug through the drive a bunch of directories were full of broken files

I swear after coming to Lemmy I’ve blocked more people than ever before on almost any other social media site I’ve been on

The amount of tankies in this collection of sites is so damn high it blows my mind. At least the neo-nazis mostly keep contained to their own instances (though I’ve blocked my fair share of them too)
