Browsing Reddit at work like I've literally done every work day for the last six years, suddenly Reddit won't let me vote. Says my account has been suspended, but all I have to do is reset my password, using the email address I have on file. I don't have one. Can't get the email to reset the password, can't add an email now. I can be logged in but can't vote or comment or post. A 12 year old Reddit account down the drain. The password was unique, 20 characters with upper and lowercase letters, numbers, symbols. Generated by my password manager. No way someone compromised my account. Thanks, Reddit.

I was too young to watch Moonlighting when it was on TV, so I never knew Bruce Willis as anything other than an action and drama guy until he was on Friends for a few episodes, and then I thought he was out of place.

So I could get some and just release it literally anywhere there are people, at least one of whom would inevitably call the fire department and they'd come out and waste a bunch of resources looking for non-existent propane? Huh.

I am single with no children. Having no reason to switch to a "normal person" schedule on my days off, I simply don't. Combine that with blackout curtains and I don't have many problems. Occasionally I need to engage with a business who for some God-awful reason insists on doing work before noon, and those days suck, but otherwise I'm good.

I'm trying to de-Google my life and self-host more. One tricky point with me is calendaring. I can get a CalDav server running and syncing with my Android phone without much hassle, but I haven't yet found a server or client that can send e-mail reminders for events, rather than just pop-up notifications.

I've been told to try Nextcloud. I tried installing it but it's overkill for me, and I don't want to deal with setting up a domain. Surely there can't be exactly one CalDav option that can send email reminders. But I've never heard anyone say anything other than "Nextcloud."

I'm looking for a community where discussion about the Lemmy software itself is discussed. I have a feature request and although I can't see any such request on the Lemmy github, it seems nearly impossible to me that no one has asked for it yet. I want to chat about it with other Lemmy users before determining if I'm way out in left field or not.

I have never heard of that guy before three minutes ago, but your comment intrigued me and I couldn't figure out why gay marriage legalization would make someone "flee" the country. So I looked at wikipedia. Supposedly the reason he left seems to be more related to legal issues involving his not paying child support, and it was to Luxembourg not Morocco.

It's a pretty short article and maybe there's an escape to Morocco as well that just didn't make it into the article.

That was my mother's favorite saying too. Rest in peace, Mom.

Almost without any privacy concerns. When I went to college around the turn of the millennium, I worked at the main food court on campus. We had a card system just like you're describing. When we swiped the student's card to pay for their meal, their student ID would come up on my screen. Their student ID was their SSN. Back then the first three digits of a person's SSN was based on the state they lived in when they got their number assigned. For most people that was when they were a baby or at least very young, and for most people that's the state they did most of their growing up in. I used to have most of the codes memorized, so when I'd swipe someone's card and see that they had an SSN from someplace that wasn't the state where the university was, I'd mention it. "Oh, hey, you're from Ohio? My aunt lives in Ohio."

Man, articles like this should put the guy's age in there somewhere near the beginning so I can see if he's old enough to be getting senile.

I never got that either. It's clearly the best of the three from the new trilogy. I mean, low bar, but still

No one appears to have yet mentioned Forrest Gump. In the book he was a chess grandmaster who wrestled professionally and was an astronaut. Also, the book sucks.

Out of three instances, I've only been able to get this to log in to one of them. I'll try again later, maybe it's a network thing. Lemm.ee and lemmy.world are not logging in on this app, lemmy.ml is so far the only one that works.

I'm gonna have to disagree. Hell's kitchen has been on for nearly 20 years now, Master Chef for over ten, etc. They're on multiple networks and are popular in multiple countries and continents. To say they're "designed" as a recruitment tool is just ridiculous. They're "designed" as entertainment, and they are entertaining. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent by networks producing these kinds of shows in the past 20 years, they're not going to spend money like that to advance some agenda of "getting people to work as cooks," they're gonna spend that money to advance the agenda of "I and my fellow entertainment executives want more money in our pockets."
