With the enshittification of the rest of the internet, I’m starting to welcome simple email and rss feeds.

Including room and board and books. A foster youth exiting high school or aging out of the system can now depend on four years of housing in exchange for getting an education. Fucking awesome, and why I’m proud to be a Californian.

Seems to be what those in most of the US would call a standard size pickup truck. Not “compact” like a Hilux/Tacoma, nor comically oversized like the oft-lifted 3/4 or full-ton trucks.

Calling this truck an “SUV” is very mildly infuriating.

Calls it a “proxy war” and yet still is upset when it’s suggested they have Kremlin sympathies. GTFO with all that.

Lemmygrad.ml on the block list is the primary reason I chose this instance over others. There’s value in having a pleasant place to digitally reside.

Hello fellow humans. I’m actually from a different CA, California. But I’m a believer that you should choose an instance based upon the administration not on topic, and this one feels much more in line with my sensibilities than the other large ones. Sorry to stereotype, but the conversations feel kinder here than elsewhere (even by the already nice standards of lemmy instances overall.)

I don’t much like sharing personal type information online, so I hope you’ll forgive my brevity. I don’t work in tech, but have had a lifelong interest in it so I feel right at home here at the ground floor of a new community.
