There’s no breakfast buffet at this new place, so if you could all bring a plate to share that would be fabulous.
I’ve brought potatoes, help yourself to the microwave 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
Factoid:
Sweet potatoes aren’t potatoes.
They belong to the family, Convolvulaceae, common name morning glory. Potato is in family Solanaceae, commonly known as nightshade.
They are distant relatives though.
You can eat the leaves of the sweet potato plant, the leaves of potatoes are poisonous.
I currently have both growing in my garden, they are definitely very different plants.
hey
hey.
We are all in the future. So check out Random Thread 14 June. 👈
Hey guess who?
I was confused for the last day about lemmy, kbin, mastodon, etc. But I think it finally just clicked and I’m excited.
Hopefully both Lemmy & Kbin devs keeps working on the user interface, it’s not far from Reddit when I started using it.
I’m commenting from the Jerboa app.
I have found jerboa ok - better then I expected actually. And quite liking the Lemmy interface. Set up an account on kbin too but the web interface is a bit clunkier on mobile.
I’m finding jerboa okay too, but still getting used to it - I’m not the most tech savvy person haha. And I’m glad I’m not the only who has created 2 profiles on 2 instances whilst trying to get my head around all this! 🥴
Nah -best way to learn!! Accounts everywhere…
Wooo 🧲⚡️
Welcome to the new world! Lemmy get you a potato 🥔
Feel free to microwave it, or it looks like you’ve brought your own fancy induction stove you can use too.
I brought my magnetron. I am ready for potato
Does the magnetron make it crispy? This could be the next big thing in potato cooking trends.
The magnetron is what emits microwaves.
So it is microwave power, not contained by a microwave? You have turned the entire DT into a giant microwave, brilliant!!!
We’re going to need more potatoes.
BTW I only know about this Lemmy Brunch cause someone threw a link on the DT recently. and thank you for being a mod (whoever you are haha) It’s gonna be sparse here for a minute lol.
It’s all new and a bit confusing - reminds me a bit of the old newsgroups. I think we have gotten used to lots of people and constant real-time interaction, but there is a lot of benefit to less users too, it allows you to take your time and think about things without feeling if you haven’t posted something straight away it will get lost.
I’m BrightFadedDog on Reddit - in fact I am on another instance I signed up for on Lemmy too. I couldn’t connect to this group from that instance for some reason so I made a new user account here (I think I could have used the same name, but didn’t realise it at the time). So now I have some sort of virtual Multiple Personality Disorder. Mr Woof is also being rebranded to RustyDog and Miss Meow to RavenCat.
I just found a picture of a rusty raven to use as my avatar🙂
Mm, breakfast. I’ll bring a plate of bruschetta, I’ve got a craving.
Ooh sweet I wondered if a new DT would spring up. I humbly offer potatoes as tribute 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
Whoever made the UI for this site is for sure an old school nerd. It feels like a site I would’ve made in the early 2000’s… hardcore dark mode… tables/text way too small. Functionally it seems fine but it needs a good designer stat.
Edit: It looks way better on mobile. Not so amazing on PC with a big 4k monitor… I’m zoomed 125% on my browser just to make it look ‘right’.
A constant work in progress. That’s the beauty of a decentralised open source platform though, people will be free to design as many apps and plugins as they like, and there is noone that can scuttle that work down the line.
For some reason this isn;t showing right at Kbin, signed up for another account with Aussiezone. Other than that I passed my last uni exam, time to find a job~~~
Is it possible to sort by new as default?
If you’re talking about sorting the comments on Jerboa, that’s coming in the next version.
Funny enough it’s basically the opposite. At the moment all comments on Jerboa are sorted by new, sorting other ways is coming in the next version.
Just got told after multiple interviews they’ve closed the role due to redundancies. Such is life I guess 🤷🏻♂️
Also breakfast included eggs. Always eggs.
Frustrating to have wasted that much time on interviews when they weren’t really wanting anyone. It’s a bit of a bad sign that different parts of the company were obviously operating in completely different directions.
I’m personally a fan of eggs for breakfast. We had potatoes and bruschetta here, eggs would work well with those🙂
Yes, overall bad sign of the org’s ability to coordinate. I may have dodged a bullet in some ways, so that’s a positive!
Seated for the first advanced screening session of The Flash @ Hoyts. I don’t think many people knew there were advanced screenings a couple of days early.
Woah. Go in as unspoiled as possible. I won’t say anymore than that. Just… go asap and don’t get spoiled by assholes posting spoilers in YouTube or article headlines because there will be many.
Got some Grilld hemburders to take home. Might continue watching Star Trek Brave New World. Captain Pike is no joke.
Ooh, I’m happy to see someone I recognise from Reddit here. Hello!
Ooo I’d forgotten about that show. Just seeing season 2 starts in a couple of days! Yay! Added to my sonarr to monitor. I also was calling it Brave New Worlds in my head but it’s Strange New Worlds. Weird.
Oh yeah shit strange new worlds I mean.
