Thank you. 🙏 That is actually right up my alley, although I prefer to hear from the indigenous perspective for now. NZ people of settler lineage are generally the same group I’m trying to avoid (including my own native Irish people who speak English as a first language). I will come back to it though so thanks again.

What old-style forums do you still frequent? Any you'd recommend? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

The discourse on Tildes is nothing like Reddit thanks to the web design and moderation choices made there. Interactions there are blissfully mature and intentional compared to what goes on over on Reddit. Also, take a look at Tildes and count how many thumbnails you see. It’s just not interesting to anyone with a short attention span who wants to plaster memes around the place.

I get what you’re saying about some UI similarities, but people don’t visit sites to click on user interface components. They’re there for an experience and for that reason Tildes is not like Reddit at all.

It’s not a Reddit clone.

The post asks for old “style” forums. Not just forums that are actually old.

I enjoy http://tildes.net/ Old style, but with a modern design. You’ll see what I mean.

If you have a Gemini browser such as Lagrange, then gemini://bbs.geminispace.org is one of the better forums there.

That put a smile on my face. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

What are the scariest horror movies? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Blood Quantum, for the humour and great cast. Outback, for being based in a true story.

Ah. Well that's what matters.

Are there any good critical thinking courses online? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m not familiar with the franchise so it wouldn’t suit me but I can think of many people I could refer it to. Also since it’s not written by the bigoted woman herself I’d have less resistance to sharing it.

Very interesting and great to get a recommendation someone has tried themselves. Thank you.

Thanks. I’m having a hard time finding something compatible to the Coursera course there. They seem to be focussed on debunking psychics etc. Interesting site, though.

I’m able to find things online. I’m looking for recommendations.

How can a sole trader/small business owner use AI to their advantage? (lemmy.world)

I'm used to seeing articles about AI being used for either highly scientific uses or for generating semi-entertaining nonsense. For a personal business involving managing appointments, documenting meetings, tracking payments etc, can AI help with any of that? Other things include undertaking CPD training, occasional advertising as well as maintaining a website from time-to-time.

The people I know who don't think AI has any use for them belong in this category and work in the area of mental health, yoga teaching / training, nursing and massage therapy.

I want to create 2 mailing lists that people can subscribe to. How can I do it? (lemmy.world)
 

I’m open to both online services as well as self hosting. But I’d like it to be low-maintenance.

Turn off your phone for a while (lemmy.world)
 

I started doing this for a few hours before lunch to extend my battery life, but found that it actually improved my attention and productivity. I also made better choices from my less distracted state, in particular deciding I could skip an unhealthy snack etc.

Long-term trend of alcohol consumption decline in Ireland, down by 30% in the past 20 years (www.irishexaminer.com)
 

Some interesting trends here that I wasn't aware of. Eg: "Alcohol consumption in Ireland is now less than the United Kingdom and most other European countries, including Spain, France, and Germany."

After years of not bothering with alcohol I tried some of the alcohol-free versions of those drinks and the difference was negligible but the next morning was a lot more pleasant.

The original article title is "Off-license consumption fuelling rise in non-alcoholic drinks as demand for 0.0% alternative sees post-pandemic surge", but I took an interesting quote from the article for the title of this post.

Alien Isolation: Why does Ripley suddenly start coughing and die sometimes? (lemmy.world)

I was walking along and suddenly my character starts coughing violently. Vision starts to fade and she collapses to the ground, dead. There's no text to tell me what happened.

I'm at Lorenz SysTech Spire now but it happened earlier in the game too.

Edit: I figured it out. There's gas coming from the doorway I was beside. The previous time I'm not sure what happened. Maybe my energy just got too low. I thought the health bar was a battery bar for the torch :)
