  • I bought a dehumidifier off amazon that was “rated” for 800 sq ft.

    Not only did it not live up to that promise, but it also served as the worlds shittiest ice maker. Ice formed on the radiator inside and stoped it from dehumidifying the air.

    Thats right, you too can have a ice maker that makes ice in the shape of a radiator while ineffectively dehumidifying your home!

    Best part was they reached out after I left a one star review and what they could do to change my rating.

    I said “Nothing. Make a better product”



  • Im pretty happy but due to ADHD im never really satisfied with what i have currently in a sense.

    I’m very grateful for my job, my current living situation and my partner but im always looking forward to new projects and stuff that i wanna do. I finish one thing and i really like that and then i move onto the next thing cause i feel like i have to. Just cant sit still for too long.

    How it happened is i just got lucky. I got a good family that helped me with a place to live, my buddy helped me get my current job in an IT adjacent position, and i met my gf on tinder when she was just about to leave the app for good.

    So yea, just kinda got lucky. I do work hard too and struggled alot with ADHD and other mental health issues before getting diagnosed so im glad things worked out eventually.


  • Yea I’d say its gonna be a while befote the idea of federated social media really takes off. I think one of the bigger reasons is just ease of use.

    The federation aspect of this is kinda confusing when your first hear about and most users just want an easy experience.

    Now you can say “oh just join lemmy.world and be done with it” but then comes another issue. Which is “wheres my account in this other instance?” Its not there. And it wont be there until porting accounts becomes a more integrated part of Lemmy and other federated socail medias.

    I think those are the biggest things holding it back for now. I think it will catch on as more and more folks become more aware of (and care about) corporations like facebook(meta) or reddit don’t care what you think and will walk all over you for a quick buck.
