Does this have a name other than 'a wave'?
Looking at this makes me think of some pictures of the surface of the sun, teeming with all the roiling, explosive energy barely contained beneath the surface, and then this, a solar flare, erupts

Talking post-Sesame Street/Mister Rogers/Electric Co. tunes
Circa 1983 on my first plane ride alone, aged about 10, from CA to GA, headphones plugged into the armrest with the ashtray inside: 'The Tide Is High' by Blondie was the first 'grown-up' song I recall that grabbed me.

'Lincoln in the Bardo' (2017) George Saunders. A bit late to this title but got restarted with Saunders after finding 'A Swim in a Pond in the Rain'. Now I have to read/re-read all the Russian short stories but before that, I found a signed, hard-cover, first edition of 'Lincoln in the Bardo' at my local used bookstore! It's a trip but I'm along for the ride.
How can I tell which print edition of the New Yorker has the online article? Do all online articles appear in the print edition? I read the online Interview with Justin Torres, loved it, I want the print edition to frame. The online edition says it was published 12/31/2023, I just can't find it in print.

I'm in the US. I haven't discerned a pattern, by the media, in the titling of the horror currently underway. I've seen Al Jazeera use both phrasings. I haven't determined that other media sites are hardlining their terminology either, but I notice the difference as I browse. Maybe it doesn't mean anything, but these days people seem extra sensitive about names.

David Eddings? I read him way back when I was a kid (~35 years ago). Think the series was called The Belgariad or Belgarion. The first 3-6 books were fun in a light yet captivating, magicy, fantasy way.

Ian Curtis (Joy Division), though that would probably screw up the timeline for New Order and all of 80's music (not a dealbreaker).
Prince (obvs)

I'm on a Galaxy S7'edge' that I really need to migrate away from. I don't want the foldable, and I'm not into iphones. How good/bad is the Galaxy S24 in this situation?

Both of these collections have more or less 'dropped off'.
Menus are mostly printed take-out menus, though I swiped the in-house menu as well when I could. Now, most of the casual dining places have replaced menus with QR codes.
The grass clippings were just a snip of a memorable event (cousin's college football game, first time solo camping, special event, new home, etc.).

I quit in 2019, by basically OD-ing on the patch. I had multiple patches on me at all times; at the end, it felt like my skin was burning

This is for Stall Action: There are 4 stalls.
Almost every guy takes the stall closest to the door, so I never take that stall. Since almost every guy takes the first stall, I never take the second stall cuz, eww.
The fourth stall is the handicap stall. While roomier and equipped with handlebars should the need arise, I do not use this stall.
Therefore, the third stall is my unloading port of choice as it seems to get the least use.
[David Wojnarowicz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Wojnarowicz) was born this day (9/14/1954).

As I understand it, there's a huge downside to federated software in the requirement to be Always Online. Lots of people have slow internet connections, or no connection at all, preventing them from accessing their software. Everyone should be able to use the programs/apps they have without regard to whether they are online or can get online.

Does anyone have experience/thoughts about Mojeek?
I just recently learned about it and haven't really explored it, but curious.
Thanks!
Recently started using Alexandrite and am really enjoying the experience, but have questions. I'm thinking of Alexandrite as the chocolate shell over my lemmy.world ice cream cone. Alexandrite is *not* an instance, correct? I have not found a place on Alexandrite where my subscriptions (joined communities) are listed. Is this not yet available? I assume that if I join a community in one (either Alexandrite or Lemmy.world) it will sync with the other. True? I've joined communities in Alexandrite, but they don't show in the list of subscribed communities in lemmy.world. That just may take more time. Yes? Thanks!

There are SO many great offerings here, but Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins), I think, blows them all away. https://piped.video/results?search_query=cocteau+twins
Title. Newbie, recently joined, 7/1/23. Right now, I'm on three: Lemmy.world (my 'main' or 'home'), kbin, and Blahaj Lemmy. I'm looking at Reddthat and sh.itjust.works as well. Just curious. I know most of the content will overlap, but there are differences in philosophy/moderator style, etc. Do you like having ONE instance? I'm loving [Alexandrite](https://a.lemmy.world) as the Dove dark chocolate enrobing my lemmy.world ice cream bar!

Countdown to a certain segment of white Americans saying they are the oppressed minority, need their guns to fend off the 'colored majority,' and need food stamps.... (I think this is already happening with some religious groups) (I'm white - but I do not hold these beliefs!)

It sucks migrating between instances right now. I've found no way to port my subscriptions from one instance to another. All of your subscriptions are saved on your current instance as websites, but to subscribe on you new instance they need to be formatted ![name]@instance Lots of work needs to be done

Can you recommend an appropriate community to post questions to about this? I have all the CSV files from Reddit, just not sure how to proceed/request deletion of my posts from Reddit.
I have accounts on Lemmy.world and Blahaj Lemmy and kbin. I would like to delete my account from Lemmy.world as they are not defederating from Meta/Threads. Plus, Lemmy.world is huge and spreading things across the fediverse makes sense. When I go to Settings and try to delete my account in Lemmy.world, I'm asked to enter my password, I do, the response is a 'Saved' message, but the account is still there. I want to keep my instance on Blahaj Lemmy, just not my instance on Lemmy.world There must be an answer that I'm just not seeing. Thoughts?

Thanks! That worked
Hello, I randomly downloaded Connect for Lemmy, but I've never used apps on my phone for social. When I try to view comments I get the error message "couldnt_get_comments" I'm not sure what could be causing the problem. It makes the app worthless, but I don't want to give up on it if I'm doing something wrong. Has anyone else had the error message and resolved it? Thanks

This https://redditmigration.com/ seems to be a crosswalk for subreddits on Lemmy/kbin. I don't know if it's maintained, but you might find something to help.
I found that crosswalk here.

Thanks for the link.
I get the back and forth in the discussion about should it be implemented, but it's precious

Thanks for asking this!
I set up accounts on both in the hysteria of leaving reddit.
I think I get how the various lemmys work/interact, I just don't know how Kbin fits into the picture.
I am just using my laptop, not on mobile devices yet.
Third day here, so still learning and giving lots of time and patience for the dust to settle
Is there an option/setting to turn on infinite scroll on lemmy.world?

I just wanted to support the moderators who the Reddit CEO, et al, treated SO disrespectfully considering the amount of free labor moderators gave and the amount of grief they had to deal with.
I didn't even know about 3rd party apps before this all went down. I just used Reddit (for 11+ years) on my laptop, never on my phone.
No, Reddit's not going to disappear right away, but without the moderators and users, quality content will.
Edit to say: 1st post on Lemmy!
