Doing good! Really happy with where I’m at in life currently.

I don’t go out of my way to get news, so social media/Lemmy. Except for local news, which I do follow more closely. But that’s it.

I know they had a word block list but I’m unsure if it’s still around.

I just realized FF didn’t have a built in translator a week ago. Excited to see it come!

I got by for a long time using a YouTube playlist and Vanced. Might want to look into YouTube Revanced, it’s a patch for the YT app that deletes ads and adds some extra features.

Sounds like it sorts out the right kind of people? I’m not aware of anyone actually asking you to write an essay, no one would do that. 2 short answer questions does not an essay make.

Right now use Windows 10 on my PC. Not interested in 11 at all. I’ve been thinking about buying an old chromebook and tossing Linux (probably Mint) on it. A friend made one of those and I thought it was really neat. Just gotta find the time, I suppose.

AskHistorians and uncertainty surrounding the future of API access:

Putting into layman’s terms what reddit is deleting. Also the number of false promises by Big Reddit, it’s just crazy.

👋 hello!

Yes, nothing prevents them from hitting the button. But the downvote wouldn’t be federated. Beehaw would never know if everyone else was downvoting them.

That’s right. !Gaming@lemmy.ml is different from !Gaming@beehaw.org

Note that you can use your same account to subscribe to both of them, as one may be more active than the other. Feel free to pick one or both it doesn’t really matter. Different websites/servers have slightly different rules and different culture, so the posts and comments will be slightly different community to community.
