I was about to say, old reddit in browser works fine, but I use Mullvad, so I never noticed. I’m increasingly spending more time here too.

Back-office college financial aid at a larger state college. Financial aid mostly disburses by batch process, so my job is to audit that. Some things, like external scholarships, are manual and require a quick reassessment of the financial aid package to ensure the student is still eligible for everything (if anything, loans need reduced sometimes per regulations). Some things require “professional judgement,” like when a student is not yet 24 but claims to be independent due to unusual circumstances. There’s more, but it’s really just an accumulation of batch work, queues, and audits which require a reasonably good working knowledge of regulations.

I was using Sync for Reddit before the API issues (switched to old reddit with ublock and Firefox after that), and the creator make Sync for Lemmy with the same feel.

I still have it but only follow niche and local subs for which there isn’t enough engagement here yet.

It’s the Swedish bakers dozen so you can eat 3 raw eggs + shells on the way home and still have a dozen eggs to put in the fridge. It takes three eggs to equal the calories found in a small donut which is why the bakers dozen eggs is 15 instead of 13.

Or your pizza to not have been carried on its side, as I learned. That was actually when I quit getting any food out. Tipping is a broken system, and fast food shouldn’t be eaten anyway.

My primary use is photo editing for a photography hobby. I shoot wildlife and upload photos to iNaturalist. I shoot sports for a local junior college and an adult baseball league.

I don’t watch a ton of movies, but it also serves as my Plex server. I leave it off unless I want to watch something though.

There are games on it, but I rarely get that itch anymore. In my teens and 20s, 1000 hours a year would have been a slow year. It’s probably more like 0-100 a year now.

They might be motivated by political views, fact checking, etc, but the subreddits I’ve seen discussing it (baseball, Iowa) are focusing on the fact that you need an account to see anything now. Screenshots from X would still be permitted; just not direct links due to the degree of interaction with the site required to view the material.

It’s sound reasoning, in my opinion. X either links you to an actual source or is a short post easily captured in a screenshot.

But then I have to pay and care for a dog. I’ll just not put myself in either situation.
