   Whaaat I didn't know they owned AbeBooks. I love AbeBooks. I wonder how much of a cut they take from booksellers?

   Yes, I just saw the r/StarTrek migration, and visited Lemmy for the 3rd time or so this week, and quite frankly, I could drop reddit entirely now, if I knew how to find communities. I feel some real hacker/dev excitement for the f

   I find highway billboards and store signage to be a particularly awful display, and I'd be overjoyed for them to be banned entirely. I have often thought about cutting down highway billboards, although I'm not quite intense enough

   I had a co-worker that could switch between qwerty and Dvorak instantly, it was amazing. And type very quickly in both.

   I would be more generous and I think he's very much aware of it, since he wrote about how awful his commute is. It's a nearly insurmountable obstacle for most folks.

   Are fountain pens exclusively a right-handed pleasure? I've tried, and the smudging has been an insurmountable obstacle. I would love to hear from some fellow lefties. I love pens, ink, and paper, but I feel cursed.

   The most impressive thing I can get Siri to do is "Hey Siri, play my <playlist name> on Spotify", and it works consistently. "Hey Siri, reply." is another decent one, but it seems to be working poorly lately.

    Reddit crashes almost weekly it seems. Search is completely broken. The site's UI (new, not old.reddit) is truly atrocious.

    After twice clicking on Google Maps directions that were very subtly labeled "ad" in tiny font, and driving to the entirely strong stores, I signed up for FastMail. Am migrating off Google products entirely. This kind of "acc

    I agree. This was one of the most motivating articles I've read in a while. This is a man who unabashedly goes 100 % all in to whatever he wants, fully admits it's nutty, and looks like he's having the time of his life.

    Agree. I was "invited" to Blind and every thread or comment were useless, antagonistic personal attacks, complaining, etc. It was very immature.

    God I'm tired of hearing this platitude. Define "Fine" when 90% of the animals on earth are extinct? What is "fine" to you about that, exactly?

    I find it amazing that buildings (specifically the last one, the hotel) can be maintained in essentially the same state for over 100 years. I guess to a European this is normal but it feels like here in North America old things are much mor

    I recommend reading the solutions on the Advent of Code subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/ There are much more interesting, highly optimized solutions and better discussion, animations, etc.

    Also professional engineers (who are the only engineers able to use the title "engineer") do P.Eng exams, and must maintain education / practice credits throughout their career. They must also practice as an Engineer in Train
