In the immortal words of Bishop Bullwinkle: Hell naw, to the naw, naw, naw

Hey dude - I won’t remove this post because I’m a little late to the party and it’s received a good number of upvotes, but in the future, please be mindful of the sidebar rule: “Images should be wallpaper size (at least 1920x1080, or mobile equivalent).” 1200x829 is a fairly low quality image to use as a wallpaper. Thanks!

Hey mate, thanks for the feedback! I’m trying my best to keep this place populated with content but there’s only so much I can do. There’s no restrictions on posting to the community (except for a few postings rules/guidelines, see the sidebar), so if you have a wallpaper preference or would like to see different types of content, please feel free to contribute and share. Cheers!

I’ve never really thought of coordinating them tbh but it sounds and looks like a neat idea. I’ve always kept the lock and home screen the same but lately I’ve been changing the wallpaper to roughly match the season. So right now it’s a snowy mountains for winter.

You’re more than welcome to post on shitty food porn. There’s not a lot of activity and the votes will let you know if it’s the right place (I don’t remove posts unless they’re breaking rules). It kind of has two interpretations - pictures of shitty food (self explanatory) or food porn that’s shitty (ie bad lighting, bad presentation, etc).

Or let me know if you start an “average food porn” community and I’m more than happy to link it in the sidebar of SFP.

Thanks! I’ll try converting the file format and see if that’ll work. I successfully uploaded a JPEG last night, so maybe it just doesn’t like PNG files anymore 🤷‍♂️

There seems to be an issue with uploading large images. I don’t know if anyone else has noticed it but I’m getting the error when trying to upload wallpapers to /c/wallpapers. I think it might be related to file size? Or maybe file format? It’s a 13MB .png file. I don’t remember running into issues with the old version when posting similar content.

Not the OP, but I’ve got the following bots blocked and it massively improved my Lemmy experience.

• TushyBot@booty.world
• bot@lemmit.online
• linkbot@lemmy.link
• video_feed_bot
• bOt@zerobytes.monster
• rlululemon@lululemmy.com

I’ve seen that option but unfortunately not every NSFW post is NSFW because of nudity. Like some of the post in the Ukraine community are marked NSFW for war reasons.

This is the thing I’m happiest to see and I hope it helps Lemmy grow more. Being able to block the NSFW/porn instances is such a quality-of-life improvement. I’ve got nothing against porn, but it’s a bad look if anyone can see your screen and every third post is nudity (even if it’s blurred).

Good news then, because there’s a second half to the story!

I gave up on online dating last year and I won’t be back. If that means I’ll end up dying alone, I’m honestly more comfortable with that idea than suffering though anymore of the bullshit that’s Tinder/Bumble/Hinge/etc. It’s become such a miserable experience for both sides (men and women).

As someone who had used online dating on and off for 10+ years, I can tell you one of the big problems - money and greed. I know it’s always easy to just “blame capitalism”, but I’ve seen first-hand the paradigm shift from an actual useful service (i.e. a way to meet people that you would otherwise not meet) to the blatant greed it’s become. The dating apps are so obviously profiteering off people’s loneliness it’s fucking disgusting. Back before Match bought everyone up, these services used to actually be okay for what they were.

OfficialPartner is another one. I had them and softwaresales posting spam in one of my communities.

Nice one!

The artist appears to be Winslow Homer.

Lemmy.ca has been defederated from Lemmygrad ever since I’ve been a member (June), so that’s not anything new. Looks like it goes back to at least September of last year.

They’re talking kind of three months in the summer and two to three weeks in the winter for skiing.

To drop 32 million on a house (which is mind bogglingly in and of itself) and only spend three months in it? Motherfuckers out there with way too much goddamn money. That’s ridiculous.

Hey, that’s my city! I’m sad to say that I’m not overly surprised. I don’t know if it’s an everywhere thing, but there’s a vocal minority in Victoria that have a real stick up their ass about bike lanes.

r/place is an interactive art project run by reddit on April Fools. It ran in 2017 and 2022. Now they’ve brought it back for 2023 (it was supposed to have happened on April Fools this year, but various…things…happened). It kicked off again today and as expected, it’s gained attention for the bad timing (protests, tone deaf admin, etc…) and people have coordinated to write “fuck spez” messages and other things (at some point, there was a guillotine + reddit’s head).

I’m sure there’s an argument to be made about not buying things you can’t afford, but looking at the graph in that article, people are going to get fucked on mortgage renewals. Anyone that locked in for 3/4/5 years are going to be renewing between now and the next couple of years and going from BOC rate of 0.25% to 5% or more is going to hurt.

Someone I know is looking at renewing their mortgage in the next couple of months and they’re already looking at a jump from 3% to >6%.

Go for it man! I had never moderated over on Reddit but I wanted to contribute on Lemmy so I started up some communities. Everyone has behaved themselves so far and people have been pretty positive about things. Eventually it might get overwhelming (if Lemmy really takes off), but there’s always the option of adding more mods to help.
