Yes. It’s a reusable towel system for drying hands in a public bathroom. It’s basically a really long roll of cloth that is supposed to get pulled down as its used and goes down into another rolld and washed and put back. I haven’t seen one in a really long time.
Same. I have well organized bookmarks. 10 Pinned tabs for the essentials, and whatever tabs are necessary for what I’m doing.
When I see someone’s computer with multiple browser windows open with 100s of tabs each, it just seems so overwhelming. You can’t even read the title of the tab when there’s that many open.
Up until the mid 20th century, a lot of Americans didn’t consider Catholic’s to be “white.”
It was a really big deal when Irish Catholic John F Kennedy was elected president.
Must be that reefer madness I heard about.
He got off safely. What a relief.
As a genAI hater, I appreciate this. I already block the dedicated communities as I see them in /all. This is helpful to filter out more of the outliers if posters cooperate and actually use the tag. (I think alot of genAI zealots get off on trying to see if people will notice their posts are AI.)
I just tried it. Seems to be fine for me. Just brought me to a login screen.
Yeah, it feels like its all supposed to be there. But without getting any of my actual friends to make an account, its hard to test any of it out. Though the bigger issue right now is that it seems my instance (friendica.world) is down or dead. The list of other instances is also struggling to load for me.
My complaint about Friendica is that it just doesn’t actually seem to do the part of Facebook that I actually want. At least not very well. I don’t want to see news, current events, memes and crap in that feed. I want to see posts and pictures from IRL friends, life updates, event organization, interest groups, etc. With privacy settings so only actual friends you want see the posts.
In its current state Friendica seems to just be a skin over mastodon, with some alpha stage friend features.
I agree, psychological torture is no joke. My point was that the original headline really led me to expect to read a story of sexual abuse, or other physical violence. It was actually a relief to read that it wasn’t, even if the sleep depravation is still awful.
Yeah, the title is really misleading and sensational if that’s what the “abuse” consisted of.
For me the scrolls pile up because I forget about them, on top of the worry I need to save them.
I’m going to put in another recommendation for Ex Officio underwear. Most comfortable I have ever tried. I’ve been wearing them exclusively since I discovered them 10+ years ago. The oldest pairs lasted 8ish years before the elastic started to give out.
I’ve had a cheap IKEA “ORDNING” scale for a decade, and I think I have changed the battery once. Though it appears to have been discontinued, and replaced with a very different looking model.
I’m not sure, but probably not “Red Dawn”
So your telling me that if I go downvote a bunch of stuff in one AI slop community someone will ban me from all of them for me and save me the work of blocking them all?
Very cool. Glad I joined up with .zip.
In theory, if it worked correctly, it should be hygenic and better for the environment. But as other commenters have mentioned, in reality they get jammed alot and so the same wet section gets used over and over. Or the owners don’t actually wash the roll and it just gets respooled and put back when dry.
