Yeah, I was doing pretty much all that with trakt already, but wasn’t sure if I was missing anything. I do like the ability to hide shows though.

I didn’t know about showly and gave it a try, syncing it to trak.tv. What does this get me that I don’t get through trakt.tv by itself? What am I missing?

It feels this way with every shitty thing we find out about in the last however many years. And the answer always seems to be vote harder!!1!

Firefish and Mastodon are both microblogging platforms (like Twitter) on the fediverse. Kbin and Lemmy are both forum style platforms (like Reddit).

Where Lemmy and Mastodon are for people who prefer a more basic just the necessities experience, kbin and Firefish provide a more stylish experience with more options and customization.

Well said.

I’ve been using Proton since it first came out and have had no problems with it. I have a paid account because it’s worth it to me to not be the product. And for about $5/mo I get encrypted email, calendar, vpn, drive, and password manager (though I primarily only use the first three).

They have a free version that lets you try it out, though with limited features.

Across the fediverse if you stick an @ in front of the 196 it’ll work. Lemmy has a thing where they do an ! instead, but that’s specifically their thing.

Works with usernames too.

Meta’s attempt to fill the twitter void. At one time it was going to be called Barcelona, but now it’s apparently going to be called Threads. Coming to a Fediverse near you later this summer.

Same. Different app, but it was the same day. Once I realized my app would die, reddit was dead to me. I came to kbin a bit earlier than others but it was super dead in the beginning.

I hate the tipping culture, and wish it would go away. But I’ll still do it for sit down service as that’s part of the deal. The ones that really get me are for pickup as well as the fastish food services where you go to the counter to order, prepay, you pick it up from the counter and bus your own tables. What exactly am I tipping for?

And why do taxis need tips? Or hairdressers?

With so many things in this country, the origins are racism. While tipping originated in Europe, it became popular in the States post-slavery as a way to not have to actually pay black people. Haven’t shaken it yet.

And annoyingly, the ones who often push the hardest to keep tipping culture are the servers themselves as they can take home a lot of money on a busy weekend evening. Hopefully, we’re getting closer to getting rid of it though.
