The Pixel 5 was perfect imo. Small size and reasonable battery.
I recently replaced the battery and also flashed LineageOS. Just like new 😁

Is it just me or does season 2 seem like a completely different show? I just binge-watched the first season and found it to be serious, grey, deep and very character driven. Just started season 2 and it feels like something that got disneyfied and dumbed down.

I have been a long term user of AG Home. My only complaint is some streaming services. We have YouTube TV and the audio gets out of sync sometimes....can confirm it was in fact AG but I guess it could be the older Pi I was running it on.
I use Flipboard for most everything but getting sick of the ads

Too true but keep in mind lemmy isn't supposed to be a replacement. Reddit hoppers want it to be.

I've always been drawn to 'The Catcher in the Rye' because it resonates with the raw, unfiltered emotions of adolescence. Holden Caulfield's rebellious spirit and disdain for phoniness capture the essence of youthful defiance. The novel's straightforward prose and genuine portrayal of teenage disillusionment make it a timeless read that speaks to me every time. "I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. "

Getting attached to any account is not recommended. Hopefully most are pretty set but I know personally if I was too run into financial trouble I would shut it down. Bigger instances do get some amount of patrons who donate to them.

Right, and thats the issue. I host an instance but we only have a few users. Our instance does run very very well though because we don't get a ton of user traffic.

Currently no, there isn't a way to see that granular of detail. On my instance I have details about any defederated (blocked) instances. Currently there are none.
But there are pros and cons of joining smaller server. Since mine is small we don't see a large list of communities, I make a point to go through and subscribe to a bunch everyday so my users can get the best experience. But without others doing some of the leg work it can be challenging. Bigger instances like lemmy.world have "seeded" with communities all over because of their large user base. Not only does lemmy.world have a ton of communities but their users have subscribed to communities outside the instance making it discoverable to others.

This is why we need users to spread to more servers and create communities in them. If lemmy.world goes down that shouldn't result in half of lemmyhub disappearing.

Set in a future where humanity is at war with an alien species, the story follows a young boy named Ender Wiggin as he trains in a battle school to become a military genius. It delves into themes of war, leadership, and morality. This book is a light read but if you enjoy it there is an expanded series. Its perfectly fine as a standalone novel itself.

After becoming too expensive to maintain, Miranda Castle was abandoned in 1991. A fire in 1995 destroyed part of the roof, and dry rot has set into the wood. The building is still owned by Liedekerke-Beaufort family, who, following the fire, stripped the castle of its more valuable components.

Fort Ord was a U.S. Army post on Monterey Bay in California. It was established in 1917 as a maneuver area and field artillery target range and was closed in 1994. Most of the fort's land now makes up the Fort Ord National Monument, managed by the United States Bureau of Land Management. However, a portion of the fort is still abandoned and off-limits to the public due to the presence of unexploded ordnance and asbestos within the buildings. This restricted area includes dilapidated barracks, crumbling mess halls, and the old military hospital, which stands as a relic of the past. Urban legends and stories from locals and former soldiers have painted a picture of Fort Ord as a haunting ground. People claim to have heard strange noises, voices whispering their names, and footsteps in the empty buildings.

Houtouwan—a former fishing village located about 87 miles southeast of Shanghai on Shengshan Island—has been uninhabited for several decades, but this is not your average ghost town. Instead of being covered in dust and rubble, these buildings are almost entirely occupied by creeping ivy and lush vegetation, creating a green landscape that is more spectacular than devastating. While most of the village’s original residents moved inland in the early 1990s, a few people do still live on the island, selling water to curious tourists and photographers.

Hashima Island was once a bustling coal mining facility owned by Mitsubishi. From the late 19th century to the mid 20th century, the island was populated with thousands of workers and was equipped with apartment buildings, a school, and other necessary facilities to accommodate them. At its peak in 1959, the island was one of the most densely populated places on earth with over 5,000 inhabitants.

As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentleman Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld’s most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game—or die trying.

Hey fellow book lovers! If you haven't heard of it or read it yet, here's why you absolutely need to. 1. **Crazy Good Storytelling:** This isn't your average fantasy. It's like Rothfuss has made this cool, completely different universe that just sucks you in. You're not just reading about this world, you're living in it. 2. **Magic, But Not as You Know It:** The magic stuff in this book is super neat. It's called 'Sympathy', and it isn't about pulling rabbits out of hats. It's logical and follows its own set of rules which makes it a whole lot more interesting. 3. **Characters You'd Wanna Be Friends With:** The main guy, Kvothe, is all sorts of awesome. He's smart, he's funny, and he's got guts. Plus, the other characters in the book are just as great. 4. **A Story That Keeps You Guessing:** The story jumps between 'now' and 'then', and trust me, you'll be turning pages like mad trying to figure out what happens next. 5. **Words That Sing:** Rothfuss writes like he's weaving a magic spell of his own. His words are simple but they paint such a vivid picture, you can't help but be pulled in. I have probably read this book 5 times and discover something new everytime.

Recently made the switch to Mint from Windows. I am having a problem with FF though. Randomly but very frequently I see your most basic page load very slow if not at all. I have disabled hardware acceleration as some research has suggested but it still has the same issue. This happens on both my laptop and desktop.
