agree with what everyone else has said here. worry less about “should” and go find your tribe wherever it may be.

as i once said to a friend who contemplated the same kind of move years ago, if it doesn’t work out you can always move back. not like it’s a one way street.

congratulations and best wishes for a continued speedy recovery. your gratitude touches my heart - thank you.

our new baby has growing pains. annoying but a good sign it’s alive ❤️

i had this question a couple of days ago and today fell totally down the fuck spez rabbithole.

found myself on the main discord where the coordinators were talking to uruguay about doing the “u” after columbia (?) declined. guess hearing that, both uruguay and equador wanted in.

there was discussion of not stepping over the swiss flag in one of the letter because they were part of the coalition.

these folks are dedicated - many commented they hadn’t really slept since it went live. kudos to all of them for the passion they showed today.

tbh it was impressive and one of the best executed operations i’ve seen in a long time. very fun to see up close.

working for a global multinational company i only wish we were this efficient internally ❤️

💯i was in strong anger last week.

good god i remember that comment!

omg i used to have one of these!!! so cool what you’ve done with it 😭

my biggest tip is that if you’re on ios get wefef. great app that makes the lemmy experience beautiful and seamless.

when you read a comment from c/all from a community you want to join you can click on the community c/link to see all the posts from that community.

then use the three dots in the app at the top right to subscribe. soooo much easier than trying to search for a community from the web ux.

and i guess the other tip is to just manage your expectations - reddit wasn’t built in a day and it’ll take a while for all of our niche communities to create new homes here 🥰

hi and welcome! i’m 1 month old here and also love it. great community, good conversation abd spez is slowly fading into the rear view mirror little by little each day.

hopefully whatever you were making with that sour cream will survive the beef rawhide replacement 🤣

think i may have lost the plot - isn’t the instance you’re thinking of lemmygrad.ml not lemmy.ml?

really nice! may i please ask what printer you’re using and whether you’d recommend it?

welcome to you and everyone else coming over! looking forward to great shenanigans.

The movie citizen four did an excellent job detailing different ways a government (in this case the united states) can do this.

nope no marketing just a happy customer ❤️

yes as everyone has said i like it here - engaged more here in 2 weeks than in 5 years on reddit. everyone seems nicer and you get the sense fills are genuinely trying to help build this community by getting out of their comfort zone and contribute. ❤️

spez fucking with 3rd party developers, mods and fucking down on lies to the community.

i also struggled with the idea of paying for this but tbh after using it for over a year now, i don’t have a problem.

we live in a place with micro climates where there temps can swing widely at night from day to day & the auto pilot does small fine tuning based on a number of things. this for me at least is worth $10 a month.

compare & contrast with the oura ring which requires a $5/mo sub to get any useful insight out of it - without the subscription you only get how long you slept witha proprietary sleep score that has no insight behind it. after spending a few hundred dollars for the ring this really started to piss me off.

at least with the 8 sleep bed the device is actually performing / working for me vs just giving me data.

the 8 bed also gives you much of the same data oura does so the subscription just hits differently for me.

finally if you’re thinking about this - definitely consider the cover vs the full mattress. same tech and they way they’ve designed it makes it fit beautifully on your existing setup at ~ $1k less than the mattress combo 😊

my sleep 8 heading/cooling bed last year. was tired of sleeping crappy, had tried just about everything from supplements to saunas, exhausted all other ideas … out of desperation decided to throw down for it.

seriously life changing. no matter what temp the room is at the bed is always perfect. takes a while for the auto pilot to learn your likes but when it does … oh man.

much love for my smart mattress ❤️

not at all. i fell into computing in my mid 20s. somehow i managed to learn enough to get myself hired at one of the largest technology companies in the world where i’ve now been over 20 years.

has it been easy? definitely not. without that classic computer science degree my peers have i’ve had to be scrappier and move faster to be on top of emerging tech where the playing field is a little more equal. i can this “surfing” the tech.

since i started i’ve participated in the birth of the internet, mobile, public cloud, big data, startups and now ai.

if you love it you can make it happen - just be realistic and stay scrappy ❤️
