Made a thread about what other social media Lemmings use, and I was shocked by the amount of Meta platforms in the replies.
  • Sorry but this is wildly oversimplified. I walk and take an e-scooter almost exclusively and couldn't possibly hope to gather all the information about my city happenings.

    Proposed plans by my councillors are often not posted on posters or billboard on my street, and the ones that are may not give me sufficient detail.

    And aside from politics, cafe's a 60min+ walk away are never going to be advertising their events on my street lol.

    Also yes of course far more people should go to council meeting in-person, but often work or other responsibilities can get in the way.

  • You realize you’re shaming people on Lemmy, the people who clearly already support a more privacy centric and less profit-driven approach to social media.

    We don’t live in a Utopia where all 7 billion people have already followed suit, and shaming won’t help. Providing a welcoming community will.

  • lol what a silly statement.

    I like being up to date on what my city councillors are doing, events my local cafes host, local art exhibits, etc. Things that have tangible benefits to my community.

    If you can convince them all to share that content on Mastodon be my guest :)

  • For staying up to date on my local shops and events, Facebook is just the easiest and more reliable option.

    Not sure we should be shaming people about what social media they use lol

  • How would you handle apartment buildings?

    Making them all Condo’s possible I suppose but, there’d be a lot of poorly maintained buildings no one would want to actually own part of

    the purpose of a system is what it does
  • Yea this isn't really believable to me for most cities.

    In my Canadian city: "While each of the locations would have different operating budgets, the average annual cost is almost $111,759 per bed."

    I don't get it

  • In my city the annual cost of a bed and support was about $80,000/year, not sure what's different 😅

    How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day?
  • One recommendation is a food tracking app. Personally I use MacroFactor, which gives custom calorie intake recommendations based on how fast/slow you're losing/gaining weight.

    This is great as it allows you to select a slow, healthy, sustainable weight loss speed and the calories are simply adjusted to match that (weighing in regularly will be necessary)

    lfpress.com Has city hall already outgrown its own blueprint for growth, the London Plan?

    The growth of London is happening so fast, the city's population has hit its own estimate for 2031 seven years early. That's prompting some within city hall to push for more review of the municipality's blueprint for growth.

    The right edge of my trackpad is physically higher lifted than the left edge which feels quite sunken.

    This normal, do y'all have this?

    I've been going to the gym for a few months, still feel like a noob tho.

    I track what exercises I do, weight & reps, etc, and try to rotate between the different exercises I enjoy.

    However I don't do leg-centric days or anything like that, I just try and do a variety each week and not go too long without exercising specific areas. Is that bad?

    Why does Molly tend to always run as a background service when Signal didn't? Doesn't seem to use much more battery so I guess it's no biggy, just curious

    Left Samsung due to poor battery to Pixel, which was an upgrade but the Fold is a big step ahead again.

    Will post Pixel 7 Pro in comments for context

    I have one Android and one iPhone for fun and like to switch back and forth.

    Due to this I largely prefer Telegram as Signal can't be simultaneously logged in on both. Is this feature likely in the works or is there something that inherently makes it difficult/impossible?

    Testing a Samsung phone after using a Pixel. When charging overnight, the Pixel charges to 80%, then pauses until soon before I have my alarm set.

    Does Samsung have a feature like this? I don't see it

    Bought on Amazon for about 800 less than MSRP, not sure why it was that "cheap" (still expensive) but I decided to give it a shot

    Pros:

    • I've always been a huge tablet lover, so having one in my pocket for when I'm on the bus or at work is amazing

    • Everyone knows it's great for selfies, but an advantage I see mentioned less often is how great it is for doing Makeup! Being able to zoom in 3x on my eyes and have it remain clear is amazing for putting on eye liner, I'd argue even better than a mirror

    • Multitasking is excellent and intuitive

    • The front screen's skinniness is better once you get used to it, altho if you're a big-phone person you simply may not like it

    Cons:

    • Camera system is behind other modern flagships

    • Screen-anxiety is definitely a thing I worry about. Feels great so far but I've heard enough negative stories to be nervous

    That's about it, with no worries about durability and a better camera it'd be about perfect
