The tough thing with creative endeavors is that you really just need the motivation to start and continue making anything, it can be inexpensive stuff. The important thing is output and making it a regular thing.

That being said, gearing up for a new hobby is always fun if you can afford it. But you can absolutely make short films on an iPhone.

Woww I had a CD-ROM of Lemmings and I always felt so sad for the lil guys. Thank you for sharing that link!

As a lifelong peanut butter cup fanatic, this initially filled me with rage. Can’t stop thinking about though…

wwwwwwwwwwwwwhAT’RE YOU DOING HERE STUART?!

I’d rather increase my monthly donation to support lemm.ee on GitHub than see ads here

Double King

here’s to everlasting lemmy.ee tingles 🍻

I don’t know why this is cracking me up so much 🤣

Wow that’s so encouraging and honestly makes me want to pick up knitting! How long did it take you to get to that point skillwise?

I’ve experienced a lot of weirdness like this so I feel like there’s a combination of federation bugs and overloaded servers right now - hopefully it’s resolved and we’ll look back on this time fondly.

I’ve never knitted but this is beautiful! How long does this typically take to produce?

Same here, we can build this community the old fashioned way by just sharing and engaging ❤️

Commenting! 💪

We’d like to go ahead and offer Janus the job right meow 👨‍💼🤝😺

I’m having the same experience with multiple lemmy.world communities - I am subscribed and I know they’re active over there but they look completely empty from lemm.ee.

Same - I regularly use vim on servers when I have to, but I can only remember some super basic commands. Most of my coding is done in a basic text editor like Sublime Text or Notepad++ or an IDE.

I do get the appeal of becoming fluent in Vim or emacs and theoretically attaining giant productivity gains. Although for me at least, text editing is not where all my time is wasted. I lose my productivity the old fashioned way: attending unnecessary meetings and wasting time solving the wrong problems.

omg Dean Fogg! 🧙‍♂️ Welcome to Lemmy

needs a little of this

This is great 😂

I am down to talk about anything honestly - but just off the top of my head right now:

Can you think of a good analogy to explain databases to complete beginners?

The ole ‘filing cabinet’ analogy is used a lot but I am looking for something fresh. The students will be epidemiologists / public health people that are very science literate but not necessarily tech-savvy.
