Brilliant 😂

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. But you’re correct—some TVs have been found to automatically connect to open wifi networks to phone home.

This pretty well captures things! Insects that eat other insects are worth rooting for, but like you, I’m on team spider.

Just wanted to say thanks for this list. As a new consumer of flashlight content, this was very useful way to catch up on common considerations and some models to consider. I even picked up a Wurkkos FC11 for $23. What a step up over the random cheap flashlight I was using before! And this is considered a “cheap” flashlight?! I was doing some comparisons with the crappy flashlight I had before: Of course, the brightness and feature set is so much better, but the high CRI of the FC11 is magical! What a great flashlight!

This is a favorite at our house. Actually, I’m just about to fry some up for dinner guests :)

Yes, particularly if you join a small instance and are unaware of the community search options that capture better statistics. It will give new, naive users the sense that all communities are tiny and inactive.

This looks nice—thanks for sharing!

I was beginning to suspect that… I’m guessing that’s all the info my instance has on another instance’s community. I guess I’ll stick to the community browser on feddit.de for searching.

Maybe wefwef could one day search through that service instead of one’s own instance…

Ok, continuing to think out loud. It seems that searching from within my instance with a web browser also shows the 80 subscribers (well, 81 now that I’ve subscribed). So I’m not sure what’s responsible for the error. Nonetheless that’s a huge discrepancy between what the community’s sidebar claims 🤷‍♂️

This also applies to the search results within wefwef, which also shows the 80 subscribers error. This makes it difficult to identify active communities when looking for new topics.

Agreed. No matter the topic he finds a way to self-promote mid-sentence. “We were the first to…,” “I’ve been saying this for years…,” etc. All the hallmarks of someone more concerned with making himself known. That said, he’s orders of magnitude more capable and palatable than many others in this area, due to the incredibly low bar. At the end of the day, I’m glad he’s out there pushing the topic. But I can’t listen to his podcast.

Agreed. Works perfectly well for me too. If only I could convince more people I know to use it…

I sincerely hope you’re right about that comeback!

I’ve always wanted to try making my own as well—will definitely have to try this!
