Yeah, it’s definitely YMMV. Also I read that minoxidil is only good for hair loss in the back, not for receding hairline. I was using it for almost a decade before I switched to a buzz cut, then shaved it all off. Unfortunately my hair loss was primarily in the front, so I’m not sure minoxidil ever did much.

(Fellow trans person btw, though I haven’t tried to use it before testosterone started kicking my hairline the way my genetics were pointing 😅️)

lol I read that as “Trump isn’t shaving him this time?” and wondered when that happened before 😂️

as someone in the same boat, 💯️ agreed

I used Ecosia for a few months last year, but it really struggled with more niche topics and searches in Hungarian. Also it kept re-enabling the AI search every other day, no matter how many times I disabled it. So in the end I switched to noai.duckduckgo.

yeah, this is what usually makes me redo the search with google (and/or liberally use double quotes)

I know multiple people like this, but it’s such an alien mindset to me xD

I only ever keep stuff in my inbox that I’m not done dealing with, everything else gets archived in its appropriate category 🤓️

The article doesn’t load images for me, so here’s the photo from an archived copy:

I get a 404 error for that non-paywall link. So here’s a mirror: https://archive.ph/MgTmM

Also I’m vaguely pissed that Musk considers Iain Banks his favourite author while managing to completely misunderstand the Culture’s values. He even named his droneships after characters from the books 🤢

Tbh I was conservative with that 80%. I’m a very private and introverted person, being the social butterfly of a group is just exhausting, esp. when there’s clearly no interest from others 🤷

Sadly the screaming in our case was apparently attempted rape during a party 😬

I tried for a few months (invited a bunch of neighbours who didn’t know the group existed and so tripled its size), but people are extremely passive and unengaged. I don’t want 80% of group activity to be me 😅

this was hilarious 🤣 (never heard about that original jerk-off reaction either, fortunately it wasn’t a thing in Hungary)

We had one in the first building I lived in the UK, it was handy for gossip lol (“what was that screaming last night on the top floor?”). The address was posted on the entrance hall cork board. Ever since I moved from there, I wished that my subsequent buildings/neighbourhoods also had one, but even if one exists, it’s deathly silent for months at a time :/

Greater stability of this feature, maybe?

Lemmy may have significantly fewer features but in many ways it comes across as being significantly more polished .

Tbh that’s not surprising, looking at PieFed’s development priorities 😅 (emphasis mine)

Name them please, I’m desperate for ideas here.

Not sure if these are already addressed in PyLova, but some of my PieFed pain points are the notification page UI (namely the collapsed content previews and unintuitive mark as read buttons), and the lack of proper support for emoji (no shortcode suggestions like Lemmy/GitHub/etc. has, and the manual picker is unsearchable and missing many newer ones).

Not enforced by my work, but Photoshop is honestly the least painful to replace. I’m having a lot more trouble finding fully featured alternative to InDesign and Illustrator. Scribus looks pretty rough and Inkscape has an unintuitive UI and no proper CMYK support.

Need Adobe software for work. Want to play online games that have anti-cheat. Also like to run mods in my games.

I have a shitty old laptop for travelling that I’ll try to install Linux on this weekend, since I only need Firefox on that.

we fortunately never get any in Glasgow 🙏 Though I went to Loch Lomond when it was sunny a few weeks ago, and did my hike in record time bc whenever I wanted to sit down to rest a bit, some blood-sucking flies started circling around me 😅
