Have you ever heard of this cool niche kernel? How was it called?.. Uhh, I think it was Lunix. Or was it Linux? Yeah, Linux!
Its userbase is pretty small, I bet nobody heard of it on such a tiny platform as the Threadiverse
Someone should really make a !gnu+linux community in the vein of r/linuxcirclejerk
Angry upvote …

Why? Because they’re mine and they need more love.
I can think of a German Forest-Fairy, that’s known by name: Holla.
What about a community for actual fairies that definitely exist in reality?
Maybe you’re looking for !folklore@mander.xyz
Should be locked from applications. Only fairies will pass!
!wetshaving@sub.wetshaving.social
I help run the place, so I’m biased.
Anyway, the instance is wetshaving focused, which is to say we use all sorts of nice shaving soaps, razors, blades, etc, and talk at length about it.
A mini event is in the works that most of the regulars are taking part in. Everyone is being mailed a small sample of the same soap, and on July 17th we’re all going to use it and give our thoughts.
It’s niche, and we know it, so we’re open to answering questions, etc.
Wets having what?

Mid 30s and still can’t grow a beard or moustache. There is no hope for me.
That is cool and I love that there is an exchange starting, that is rad.
nice. I just use a beard trimmer around my throat lol
I checked and I’m already subbed! I converged onto a stable process years ago but still casually peruse what new things folks are trying.
Phoenix copper DOC, KCG blades, fougere gothique soap and splash, Phoenix travel scuttle, Yaqi synthetic brush with rainbow handle. FG is my all time favorite scent, I keep a stash of spares in case they stop making it.
The DOC is my third razor and is the best blend of speed and safety, with the open combs better dealing with my long thick neck hair after a week of growth. I also have a Feather Artist Club that I should sell and a AS-D2 I gave my oldest when he came of age. I will need to get another safety razor for my youngest in a few years, either an AS-D2 or the latest greatest mild razor.
I think I heard that Gothique and Angelique are both discontinued now, so good thing you have some backups!
I could very well be mistaken, though. It’s a bit of a meme at this point that Barrister & Mann discontinues scents only to bring them back years later.
I want to plug the communities I created, but I’m always afraid that’s going to be a divisive comment. I have zero desire to really “moderate” anything, but I do have communities that I would love have some engaging conversations in, as well as places where people can exchange helpful info and advice. I am planning to make a community for cleaning and organizing tips and discussions.
plug away this time since its relevant and not spammy

!boinc@sopuli.xyz join a movement of people donating their spare CPU time to medical research
I remember this thing way way way back when, and it was mentioned in the news? It had some kind of really neat visualization thing screensaver? Lines and lines of colors, with some spikes, going from further back towards the viewer and…
I couldn’t find that part again. I loved that, need the useless neat part
Many of the BOINC projects these days don’t have screensavers unfortunately. But World Community Grid and Rosetta@home have decent ones.
Are you thinking of Folding@Home?
I am absolutely unsure, and think any information I have about it comes from like 20 years ago. Is it that old? I thought it was pretty old. I remember a news report about it, like on the TV proper. The screensaver was like…little bars of color coming towards the camera, continuously going forward until it filled up and restarted. The spike bars were meant to be like…the data from outerspace. If there was a tall bar, it could be anomalous!
I have an extremely shitty memory, so this is exactly all the information I have.
Hmmm I think that it might not be Folding@Home in that case. Sounds cool, though!
IT LOOKED LIKE THIS https://archive.org/details/0x-0_20221225
So it seems like BOINC or… SETI at home? Or what it was?
Edit - I looked them up. They’re not going anymore it seems, ‘no longer distributing tasks’. Alas!
Nice find! That does look neat.
If you like comedy, there’s a stand up show called Kill Tony. Comedians sign up and get 60 seconds to do their best bit/s. I post the link every week to the sub !killtony@lemmy.zip. Check it out if that would interest you, we would love to be more active in the community.
yeah that’s all over TikTok
Honest question, how do you use Lemmy but also use Tik Tok? I feel like they are philosophically on opposite ends of each other.
and I have to be absolutely honest, all of these people crying about it sound exactly like the boomers on the Congressional panel trying to figure out how the internet works. it’s pretty entertaining, but paints a poor picture of the future for people who claim to be wanting a more unfettered internet.
I’m going to have to ask you to explain what you mean by that. I use TikTok to learn what’s going on on the front lines of Ukraine and Gaza before the news washes it, and I make videos about historical and current events that are interesting but are secretly designed to radicalize people.
tiktok is the reason people know exactly what’s going on in Gaza. it’s the reason people know exactly what’s actually going on at every major protest that’s happened in this country in the last 5 years. it’s constantly used to disseminate information about crimes committed by the government, and individual governmental employees.
what exactly do you think the single philosophy of a social media platform made up of over a billion international users is?
when you find yourself on the same side as the US Congress, that should cause you pause.
TikTok bad. Didn’t you know x website bad???
heaven forbid this comedian you like reach a broader audience
Does the old copypasta work here?
I just downvoted your comment.
FAQ
What does this mean?
The amount of points on your comment has decreased by one.
Why did you do this?
There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral votes.
These include, but are not limited to:
• Rudeness towards other Lemmerinos,
• A joke I personally disagreed with,
• Spreading incorrect information,
• Positively mention a website I dislike,
• Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.
Am I banned from the The Instance?
No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.
I don’t believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?
Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.
How can I prevent this from happening in the future?
Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on this Lemmy instance. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Lemmy is privilege, not a right.
It does :D
fuck… off…?
If only every vote was explained in such a way.
Weird, I wouldn’t know.
congratulations or whatever you were looking for
I am unable to subscribe
Like games as an artform?
I do! Thanks for the link
Just started a writing club in !writing@slrpnk.net so I’m partial to it. But it is very quiet there.
I’ve got vague designs on livening the place up, so it’s been in my thoughts a bit.
Sounded interesting so I went to subscribe. Turns out I was already.
Haha nice, I guess I should post some stuff, get it back on folks’ radars
I’d like that. Maybe I get an idea sometime, but life is busy and writing is only my occasional hobby.
Respect
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !badrealestate@feddit.uk
Is there anything you’re interested in?
well I’ve used the search bar to find everything I can think of. I haven’t been able to find a good sopranos shitposting community, or anything similar to the benzodiazepines subreddit
I like corn dogs.
i can’t link it. That is how cool we are. [noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works]
Thank you. I am a mobile browser peasant.
I’ve never used Lemmy on anything other than my iPhone. I’m too lazy to sign in on desktop.
Same same. I tried one app in the very early days and it was just one more password. Our crude peasant huts are peaceful and we shall thrive here. Unless it rains idk
Shit, and it’s pretty active. How did I not know NCD was here?
Best replacement for r/amry I’ve found
!withoutthepunchline@lemmy.world
All communities that I moderate (on my .world account) and all pretty inactive. I’d love to see more cropped memes!!!
I like Local Lore, the moonshiner lady was insane! She’s been living in my head since yesterday!
