Not sure my contribution is of any value to you, but I am a gay male in my 50’s. Never did much in terms of skincare. Only washed my face with water and was a heavy smoker up till about 15 years ago. Up until I started tuning bald people estimated my age to be 10-15 years younger. So I personally think genetics is the biggest determining factor. That said. I started using hyaluronic acid about a year ago because of dry skin, and it does SEEM to make the few wrinkles I had appear less and make my skin more firmer. All in all, I think some skincare helps a little bit, but never expect big changes or improvements. Most of it is just (bad) luck. I would at the very least never buy products that are ridiculously expensive. The cheap ones work just as well, just make sure you read the ingredients. This is just my personal, anecdotal experience and opinion ymmv

This is going to be a total noob (and thus stupid) question, but is it possible to selfhost a vpn?

You know… I don’t understand why AI would need access to an API. Can’t they just crawl the web? HTML5 was designed with AI in mind iirc. But I’m no expert so I’ll probably talk bs here.

‘the best’ is subjective. Yes, tumblr still exists and perhaps has a second life. But the spirit of the old tumblr is gone. Same applies to Reddit. It’s not the name or the site that died but its personality. Twitter is a good example. It died a few years ago, slowly. It is still around but what made twitter twitter is no more. It changed, it has another atmosphere and other types of users. It is still called twitter but that is like a son who has the same name as his father. Two different persons.

Hmm. So how about: “Tired of ads? Reddit wants to show them to you. Come to Lemmy, we are friendly and you are welcome!” I am willing to commit 100 euro if anyone can make that happen.

I’m in. Anyone got a catchy idea?

It’s up in the air how many will stay and how many will slowly forget their outrage at Reddit and go back.

If I wasn’t already that truth would make me depressed.

Here’s hoping. (yeah, I’m an unreasonable, hateful bitch. I despise what they did with the Apollo dev (and others) and I hope it bites them in the arse.)

I’m not up-to-date with the latest in accessibility, but does lemmy cater for those who need assistive tech? (just curious)
