As an out of touch person, I have a possible explanation for this: have you ever said "shit" repeatedly as something goes wrong? I imagine some people would write a story where that happens and write it as "shitshitshit" and not "shit shit shit". But outside of that situation I have never seen or heard "shitshit".

https://fanaticus.social is a whole sports instance, and the instance as a whole definitely passes the "at least a post per week" requirement

Yep, definitely not new, but in the past I have seen people promote not-new communities that nonetheless are tiny and have not been posted here before so I figured it was okay. If you're concerned this sub is losing its purpose you might want to message the mod about changing the rules or something. I do not mind seeing old communities here but my opinion is not the only one that matters, and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca does exist even if it gets far less traffic.

From the Obsidian Discord:

PSA: Our main server was taken down by a forced reboot at 2024-08-24 3AM EST / 12AM PST. When the account server was down, our services like Sync, Publish, and account functions like login or sign up were disrupted.

Normally our services would have immediately auto-restarted, however we made a mistake in the auto-restart configuration, which meant that it did not automatically restart. I was able to start it up again manually at 8AM EST. Everything is back to normal now.

I have since located the configuration issue and fixed it so if this happens again it would be down for at most a few seconds. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Ooh a PieFed community! Wonder how that'll play with Mbin and Lemmy. Followed. Hope this along with the more mainstream textile hobby communities convince me to actually engage in my textile hobbies more often.

Title is ugly.

I figured "where you live" is basically the same thing as "home" unless you start getting into stuff like some adults living in hotels all the time because they are constantly on the move and rarely at their permanent address, or adults not considering their current residence their home because they know it's just a temporary place and they'll move soon or they do not like where they live and they don't feel welcome.

Data investigates nothing like that. Instead investigates adults specifically within 25–29 years old who live with their parents, which might be the same place as their childhood home.

Pretty image though.

I could swear there was a community link fixer bot, which is pretty useful for people reading comments, trying to click a link to a community, and getting an error. Bot has the correct link as a reply.

Community-specific bots can be quite helpful. NameThatSong on Reddit had a bot that would run your post through song recognizer bots if your post had audio, to try to help the poster identify the song. I found it useful. I should probably figure out how to make a similar bot for !NameThatSong@lemmy.wtf someday.

Not sure whether you meant to express disbelief or just to be silly, but you did make me wonder if this meme was legit or not. It is!

I'd trust a hairdresser when it comes to hair questions… EDIT: Turns out in real life, they did trust the hairdresser, the fact about sewing is true but the overall story is dramatized.

Bad at styling my long hair but I have definitely tried and from what I did in the few hair tutorials I followed, and from knitting, I absolutely believe that making these complicated, pretty, structured knots/loops was done by sewing.

I was super intimidated by cabling, but I tried it for the first time and it is nowhere near as hard as I thought it was! The only difficult thing I need to deal with is accounting for how it changes up the gauge. I used this article with photo diagrams to help me, as well as a tiny portion of this video.

I do not have the patience for videos. I just needed to see the process of how you work the stitches on the cable needle off of it: after you slide the stitches on from, say, the right, do you slide them back up the right and work them off from there, orienting the cable needle as needed so you can do so? Or do you slide them up the left instead? The article would not tell me, so I was forced to resort to the video. I did not watch past 4:12. The answer I use now is "whatever you have to do to knit them in the same order you'd knit them if you left them on the regular, non-cable needle".

Fully aware I am nowhere near the best knitter here, but still proud of the new technique.

I also have ADHD.

When you first download Obsidian, they put you in the Obsidian Sandbox vault which is full of "how to use Obsidian" tutorials and is made for you to play around and experiment with. Read as much of it as you think is relevant to you. You can always go back to their tutorials to learn more when you need it. I find the official tutorials good enough to not need to look elsewhere for the basics on "how to use Obsidian". It's cool to read elsewhere for different ways to organize, but I know that I'll end up suffering from organizational/decision paralysis so it's better for me to just go and write. Organize later. Yes, not the best for "staying organized" but at least I'll be writing important stuff down in an area I can use a search function on which is better than nothing at all.

Part of how I stay organized is that everything has a designated place and must always be put there when not in use. This extends to information. "Where did I put my tax returns?" "Well, you always write information of that nature down in Obsidian, use the search tool in Obsidian and search for 'taxes' to find the answer."

My actual Obsidian files are not the prettiest or the most well organized, but I do manage to actually keep all information of a particular nature contained within. This helps a lot.

A few other ADHD tips:

When I put any of my physical belongings down and I don't have a particular place they go in (so this happens less at home, but in the museum I visited for the first time and do not expect to be a regular at? I am definitely not going to have a designated spot for each item the way I do at home), they need to be physically near each other. This has cut down so much on umbrella loss for me.

Also, I am personally an Apple Reminders person. Every time I think of something that must be acted on at a particular date or time that I might forget, I put it in Reminders for that day and/or time, which is set up to send me notifications. For example, I sing in a choir and I usually do not take my music folder home after I finish rehearsal. If I decide I want to take the folder home, there is a good chance I'll forget to do that, so I set a reminder to go off at 7:00PM, when rehearsal ends.

So how does Obsidian play into remembering information if I already use Apple Reminders? I use Obsidian for information I'll probably forget that doesn't have a particular date/time associated with it (like recipes I particularly liked that I don't want to forget, or the difference between three musical terms that I always forget the difference between).

Epic Games, prompted by a message from the creator of the dating sim Hatoful Boyfriend (in which all the dateable characters are birds), says that they are “looking into” why the creator has not received any royalties for the game in two years.

Headline is misleading because not all the dateable characters are pigeons.
