Then don’t say it.

In VA it’s the involuntary commitment that’ll getcha…

Just a shower thought...

…not a sermon?

Thanks. I haven’t had time to do much more than register and read a brief Usenet FAQ over on the fuck-spez site.

Just so I’m clear, DS is an indexer; not a provider, right? If that’s right, any suggestion on providers or how to find/choose one?

I recently bumped my monthly instance donations by 20%.

I hope to be able to cover as many folks who can’t afford it as I can…

I’ve never really used Usenet but I guess it’s worth registering for while I figure out if it’s something I want to use…

You’re right and Lemmy.ml’s reputation has contributed to my hesitation in donating to development. But I also use Mastodon pretty regularly and I haven’t contributed to its development either. I have no explanation.

I made this post hoping to get some input on how folks divvy donations up amongst the three and maybe pressure myself into doing it.

You just sent me on a real journey. In high school if you’d asked me or my friends, we would have told you I was a huge Pink Floyd fan.

When I thought about what my favorite album was I realized all I really knew were pretty basic-bitch albums. DSOTM, The Wall, Is there Anybody Out There; and Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

Then I started thinking about how I could feel like such a fan and only have so few albums. Then I realized this was before music was pervasively available to listen to for free at any time.

I distinctly remember the day I decided I was splurging on The Wall double CD set. I’d been stalking it at the record store for months, but it was $30 in 1994 (that’s sixty-five inflation adjusted dollars in 2025!) so I’d kept passing on it despite desperately wanting it.

TL;DR: I’m old but now I’m catching up on some good music I’d missed out on

Just saw the edit. I don’t really know what universal links are. Would one way be better than the other?

Thanks ❤️

These settings seem to be working for me.

I’m only looking at the local/new feed so I don’t think I’d need to identify instances?
