I’ve had to resort to multiple apps and they don’t work GREAT even when combined. I was just complaining about this!

I have Auto Photo Cut Paste for cutting faces/other parts out of photos fairly cleanly, and Picsart for actually combining/putting it together, but the Picsart tools seem kind of limited. It’s not a full Photoshop replacement.

I was able to make this using those two apps if it gives you an idea of what’s possible. Face removed for anonymity.

In most HCOL areas there is a higher minimum wage even for tipped workers, so keep that in mind. In DC for example minimum wage for tipped workers is going up annually over the next 4 years to meet regular minimum wage, up to about $17/hr. I anticipate tipping percentages should go down as this phases in as there will no longer be a differentiation.

I’m considering getting one as well. Putting it off until a gifting holiday as they’re expensive. Only debating between the cheapest and second cheapest size - I would get a microSD expansion either way but I’m not sure if it’s better to have the additional space or not. Odds are I would only have two or three games installed at a time really.

I used an email address that would tell me where the spam is coming from to sign up for Lemmy. None of my spam email is coming with that email address so I don’t think I’m getting spam from Lemmy sold emails… I have noticed more phishing emails but I think it’s just Gmail letting them through or being more targeted.

Yes, exactly. This is true. Gasoline is extremely subsidized in the US and even just ending those subsidies would encourage people to do something other than drive. Using that money to expand public transit options would be even better. Americans drive literally everywhere. There is no walking anywhere at all. We get very, very little physical activity and use a tremendous amount of fossil fuels and energy to get from Point A to Point B, on top of buying enormous gas guzzling SUVs.

I get the impression that Mastodon and kbin.social are technically interoperable with Lemmy, but not very well.

A huge portion of American carbon usage is personal transportation. The government can do many things to lower its carbon footprint but your life will look significantly different. Local governments are largely responsible for determining what citizens’ primary means of transportation is and that’s where people actually do have a lot of influence.

Uh…there are a lot of people with 5 day old Lemmy accounts, there was literally just a mass influx. Probably the majority of users came here within the last 5 days lol. Your account is one week old. Hell, most of the active users of Lemmy before the past week were posting content like this.

Christ. We need massive, global action. We need people in the west to commit to drastically lowering their carbon footprints, ideally by finding alternatives to gas powered cars and cars in general, and we need immediate action on geo-engineering. Atmospheric cloud dust, carbon capture, everything. We can’t debate the ethics and morals forever. We just desperately need to start acting.

Not sure if you know but there’s an entire instance dedicated to the DMV already - DMV.social, and DC’s community is https://dmv.social/c/washingtondc or !washingtondc@dmv.social

Is it deleted?

I’m not sure why Mastodon posts always end up looking so bad on Lemmy. The title is always gored and the post always has hashtags that do nothing in Lemmy. Just because they’re technically cross compatible doesn’t mean they should be.

The point is to put your uniquely provided information somewhere else, like Lemmy. Google will figure out how to prioritize this information eventually. Delete it from reddit so that it’s no longer the internet’s repository of information.

I mean it’s fair to say that there have been many performance issues as most of the federations were not prepared for the mass influx of people, and for someone literally brand new and without context it’s hard to differentiate between temporary performance issues and fundamental flaws. I agree that all the bellyaching is laughably naive about how quickly websites and services come together and evolve, but we can’t pretend that the growing pains haven’t happened.

Yeah, same here. Keeps happening. I’d love to learn more about coding so I could help contribute to the app and to Lemmy in general. Right now I just have some rudimentary python but some hands on experience would be ideal.

just installed, huge improvement. Thanks!

You could always unsubscribe from general communities in lemmy.world and subscribe to general communities on other instances instead.

How many people are working on Lemmy?

Dinraal is consistently the hardest one for me to find as well. I don’t think the castle quest blocks the dragons.
