  • Please check out this KSP community: Https://Lemmy.world/c/ksp

    They’ve got some lovely members who wish to share and contribute, however I feel I’ve let the community down by not helping post as much as I should have recently. It’s a shame to see such great people share, knowing it’s such a small community seeing it right now.

    They’re real MVPs

    Please give the community a hand and just share a random craft or screenshot you may still have; even a favourite video! No pressure, just help it with a bit of traction so it becomes more self sufficient.

    Shout out to ilovecheese & obsidian & moeggz on there! :)



  • The amount of times I’ve told clients to change their SIM or not take their work phone abroad only to be ignored like usual, and get called on their return saying “what the hell!?” We notified them, but just like all MSPs (managed service providers) CEOs or important members will just ignore us or criticise our advice. Now he wants to blame his family who shouldn’t even have access as you mentioned. If it’s his mistake, he allowed it to happen with warning, and he gave this to a family member unsecured, surely he should be held entirely accountable?

    Nope. Politicians breaking all the rules we would get sacked for in an instant at work, or even arrested.

    Great standards for us lowly law abiding poor folk. An 11k phone bill would kill me; I guess my taxes will pay for his mistake then. I’m so confused how he doesn’t feel like he needs to pay that? I can’t figure out how in the fucking world what I’d need to say or do or think to avoid being responsible for that?

    It’s surely simple for him to figure out. Goes to show how warped morals are being protected here.



  • Same, so I gain my minimum sustenance to work for my overlord employer and pay my “well invested” taxes to the government who grants me this quality of life. How could my landlord live if I’m greedy and eat too frequently or varied.

    Sorry to hear, I do sympathise. I hope things get better for us. I’m still figuring out how to pay my new 30% rent increase this month after five previous rises this year already…











  • I think I was partially addicted after having used it routinely out of boredom and free time for over a decade…

    But once RIF and the other 3rd party apps got strangled out, and RES went into a state of no longer being updated, I couldn’t power use Reddit anymore. So once those were uninstalled and removed, I had given myself no choice. Out of principle I couldn’t support them and how they treated their mods or communities, nor could I use the site in their epically stupid vanilla default way, I had to just quit.

    Cold turkey since.

    Will admit, I have to search online for technical help, and a lot of discussion did and still does happen on Reddit, so I’ll still occasionally have to use the site for reference. But no interacting with it at all.

    I still feel the twitches and urges to use it from so many years of habit, and it’s difficult, but I’ve managed to do it.

    Shame there’s not as many people so inclined to use Reddit just a little less, doesn’t even need to be cold turkey; it WOULD make a difference. But there’s nothing wrong with using it, and you shouldn’t be judged for it either. It’s fine to be anti Reddit, but not anti user… in most cases ha ha! I’m pro voice and choice! ;D

    I’m trying to use this as an alternative, and out of necessity as content does run thin sometimes on Lemmy I do end up using it less than I did with Reddit. But that’s healthy for me personally.

    There’s less pressure and competitiveness on here for me, so I try to post better quality comments/content than I may have used to on Reddit. When Lemmy isn’t down or breaking my comment/post submissions I’ll have a better time engaging with the site, I don’t find myself rushing to comment before 400 irrelevant (sometimes one word) comments wash it away and bury it like on Reddit. I don’t find myself writing half a comment, and then deciding to quit half way as much.

    Plus, people engage with posts and see them much longer than on Reddit, usually after a single day their posts would be entirely dead; guess it’s mostly due to less users at this point though.
