What search engine do you use?

Can’t you just replace the battery somehow? My phone’s old battery had an adhesive which the repairman just cut, then he put in a new adhesive and battery in.

I thought we still operated on rediquette where we only downvote people if they’re not contributing to conversation?

Well, one of the reasons why I used 3rd party apps to begin with was because the mobile Reddit app was an unoptimized buggy mess for me, which often overheated my phone.

I use Stealth with the express intent of not contributing to Reddit (there are no ads on Stealth) while consuming their server’s resources. It’s a sort of protest in its own way. Especially since those niche interest subs are the only way I could quickly get information about the community without having to scroll through discord servers— hell, in Lemmy-Kbin most of them are run by bots reposting from Reddit, and there is no way I can manage or advertise my own magazine, what with my busy schedule in my university.

It’s been a while since I’ve been on Lemmy, so correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Voyager, which I’m using right now, pretty good? You also don’t have to install an app, just set it as a Browser app on Firefox and you’re good to go, even though the apps on the Google Play store are pretty good.

I hate how everything has to be monetized nowadays, or how money is to be expected for everything. Eventually people who provide free service or altruism will be seen as competition.

Soil Science Simplified by Neal Eash and others, and Landrace Gardening by Joseph Lofthouse.

Soil Science Simplified is a bit textbook-y but it’s easy to understand, and it’s about soil in the context of, well, anything that could be used on or in the soil, such as in agriculture and building infrastructure. I’m not that far into it but if you remember clay, sand, silt and loam soil from Elementary, then it goes into much more, such as how the soil made out of certain minerals can behave like.

Landrace Gardening is a lighter read for me, and I’m honestly just reading it to feel persuaded to grow healthy plants. It does feel like the author is hammering his points into you, but there are some useful information here and there. Then I’m proceeding to Principles of Cultivar Development by Walter Fehr.

Why am I reading these? I got interested in preserving Siling Labuyo, a local cultivar of hot chili in the Philippines, which is gradually being overshadowed by Thai Bird’s Eye… Most people in my country don’t know what Labuyo really looks like nowadays, despite being popular in the past… the bird gods have randomly given us labuyo some time ago, and since labuyo has usually been grown wild, it has quite a high genetic diversity. I’m thinking of cultivating it. Maybe make a super labuyo and make it get popular by attaining the title of hottest chili again. But that’s obviously a pipe dream, lol. Anyway this is what ADHD does to you /shrug

Newpipe!

They’re literally supporting Reddit for a shitty user experience
