Can I post recycled wine?

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I avoid Youtube as much as possible, so that makes it harder

That being said, I use Dreaming Spanish for my native hispanohablante content. Plenty of content, and more every day. The biggest issue is whilst I love some of the content, quite often, I find myself struggling to stay engaged. And that's the part I need to focus on. They have plenty of content, and I can find it if I go looking. I just need to make sure I do :)

My goal is just consistency. My spanish is coming along slowly, but it hasn't always been steady. Sometimes, I just stop. This year, I just want to keep it consistent. At least some content, most days, even if only a short video.

I've been using my real name on the internet for 30 years or so now. I've hosted public radio shows, I run/admin several online LGBTQ communities and I've had newspapers articles done about my transition and activism.

It's absolutely possible that someone with the desire could utilise that against me. But it's unlikely and it hasn't happened yet. And in the mean time, having to hold myself back and be constantly on edge about what I say and where I say it would impact my use of the internet in a way I don't like, every single time I use it.

So for me, it's worth the risk.

It doesn't really match my experience though. I'm one of those rare ADHD folk who has zero issues with sleep.

If you were born or adopted before December 15, 2025

Citizenship may have been restored or given to people who were born outside Canada in the second generation or later before December 15, 2025.

This means that in most cases you’re automatically a Canadian citizen if you were born

  • before December 15, 2025
  • outside Canada to a Canadian parent

This rule also applies to you if you were born to someone who became Canadian because of these rule changes.

If this change made you a Canadian automatically, but you don’t want to be one, you can apply to give up (renounce) your Canadian citizenship.

Adopted people are likely eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship through a direct grant for adopted people if they were born and adopted outside Canada in the second generation or later before December 15, 2025.

I've got one already, with pedals. But I don't have dedicated space to use it, so it never comes out :\

The PS5 lets me play Gran Turismo with VR. and turn by using the gyro function on the controller, effectively mimicking a dedicated steering wheel by turning the controller itself rather than stick steering. I could use a wheel, but without a dedicated space to keep the wheel, setting it up and packing it down is just too much of an issue. Gyro steering gives me much of the same control as a wheel does, but without the hassle.

So gyro steering and VR together was a game changer for me. They were so amazing that I can't play racing games any other way now...

But VR on the PS5 is basically dead in the water, so hardly any games support it, and gyro steering is basically unheard of in most racing games. So it's pretty much Gran Turismo...

In theory it's technically possible to use the PS VR headset on my PC, and configure gyro steering, but so far, the combination of getting them all working and configured correctly AND finding a game that supports it all has defeated me...

But you're also betting that the economy will come back alive soon enough because without it all you have is a heavy pile of metal.

You probably don't even have that. Unless you have your own vault, someone else is holding it for you, and if things collapse far enough, good luck ever seeing it

It's also not a fork

 

For those quick off the mark, you may already have seen her name appear in the list of lemmy admins! We've brought Jorunn on board, as she's already staff on our piefed instance, and she has been helping moderate lemmy via our admin bot, which can approve signups, delete spam etc. So, she now has her own keys to the castle to make her life easier!

You can reach out to her for issues around community/instance moderation, regarding our lbz users etc. Kaity and I are still the best contacts for sys-admin related issues however.

Anyway, welcome aboard Jorunn and thank you for taking this on. I certainly appreciate it :)

This was taken in near total darkness, with a hand held, 300mm 1 second exposure. I love this camera and lens!

And thank you to the Tawny, who was happy staying perfectly still for my long exposure :)

If you're interested, and use Blåhaj Lemmy as your main instance, let me know and I'll add you as a moderator. You'll then be free to add other off instance mods if you like, but the primary mod needs to be a Blåhaj Lemmy user,

Planning a heist (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

This Kookaburra, was staring at the chips of a guy who had laid down on the grass and closed his eyes. A moment later, the heist succeeded!

If you're trans masc or trans masc aligned, have a lemmy.blahaj.zone account, and an established history and are interested in moderating this space, please let me know!

 

Kaity has just spun up a PieFed instance, which is open to anyone that wants to try it out.

PieFed is part of the "Threadiverse" along with lemmy and mbin. If you are already reading this in lemmy, then you already know what PieFed is about.

If you're curious to try it out, or if you're just looking for a way to avoid lemmy, you can find it at https://piefed.blahaj.zone/

Like our lemmy instance, we have set PieFed applications to require manual approval, but if you're already a member of our lemmy instance, you can get auto approved by our modbot by quoting your registration code somewhere in your application.

 

Thanks to Kaity Blåhaj PIx and Blåhaj Tube are up and running!

Feel free to check them out!

For now, it's just me moderating, so applications to join may not be instant. If we start to get busy, we'll onboard some more mods in the future.

Enjoy!
