Lemmy to become mature enough to be a full replacement for Reddit

I’m pretty excited for getting married in the next three hours!

Edit: I DID IT, LEMMY!

The fediverse is something I'm excited for and it's still in it's infancy so it'll be intersting to see how it plays out as it starts getting more polished and user friendly.

Despite the doom and gloom of AI I think it's been really cool, and one area I've seen it help is for my relatives where instead of me having to solve basic tech issues AI has helped. When it develops into a full on companion that will do things it asks them to I'll be bothered less and less.

The possibility that things might one day get better for humankind. We're long overdue.

Making music with my fucking band WOOOOOO

I’ll be trying out Linux outside of a virtual machine for the first time. I’ve got a SATA SSD external enclosure that I’ll be using to boot without messing with my current pc

It’s my anniversary, so I’m looking forward to having a nice dinner.

John Green posted a video about a week ago calling out Johnson & Johnson for extending their patent for Bedaquiline, a medication that treats multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis. The extension would prevent inexpensive generic versions from entering countries that are being ravaged by TB. After the video received critical reception and with John’s call to action, the public pounced on J&J. This led to J&J announcing they would allow the generic versions of Bedaquiline to be produced and shipped to the majority of low- and middle-income countries hit hard by TB, including countries where the patent is still in effect. We still don’t know which specific countries those are, but it’s still great news!

Plus, Hank Green is done with his chemo and seems to be mostly cancer-free for the time being.

Specifically, good things on the World Wide Web: research. The amount of good information available is incredible, compared with pre-Internet times. Weather forecasts, what the space telescope is looking at, what's happening in other parts of the world places in their own voice.

Sure, there is misinformation as well, and some people will cast doubt on anything they don't like or try to drown it out, but get past that, and this is a golden age of knowledge.

possibly getting a new laptop that is slightly better than my desktop, i hope to get into something like peertube/content creation but im still thinking it thru.

I joined the great resignation to pursue a freelance art career. I'm excited but also terrified I'll just be another starving artist. At least I don't have to wake up at 6am anymore.

Getting my year long undiagnosed chronic pain issues to be diagnosed. My neurologist has been proactive this past month since I saw him so I’m hoping we can get somewhere. Got proof, just no diagnoses

-2025 Humans back in the Moon

-Late 2020’s early 2030’s new missions to Venus

-Late 2030’s drone to Saturns Moon Titan

-2030’s maybe Humans on Mars

I repurposed my 2008 ThinkPad as a server, saving it from the trash for yet another year!

This is probably going to sound mundane, but I finally got my career back on track after the plague and have enough money to take my cats to the vet for proper medical care. Feel like I've been living at vets lately, but everyone's ears are clean, teeth have been checked, bloodwork done, and has the meds they need to thrive. I felt so bad that for two years the vet was life threating visits only.

What I'm looking forward to is many more years with my wonderful pets!

I went hiking on Saturday and I took a fuck ton of pictures, I'm really looking forward to editing the best shots from the trip. The hike was so beautiful it's probably going to be pretty hard to pick, and honestly that's the best kind of problem to have.

Also I have a bunch of miniatures that are at the point of needing a final pass of paint before being done, that I'm really excited to finish up.

My excitement is maybe small, but I’m excited about the 5-ish hours of sleep I’ve just had, which is such a gift after weeks of pain waking me up all the time

I'm beginning to plan hosting a monthly dinner for friends, maybe starting in the fall. I'm excited thinking about having people I love gather over food regularly

Today I've ordered the parts for my new PC, which will be a lot faster than my current one

The company I work for changed their policy on paid vacations. Starting in August I'm going to have a lot of vacation days and I'm going to use them.

I have a powerlifting meet on Sunday that I’m excited for. Going to set some PRs hopefully!

I'll keep it short term and simple. Wednesday nights I do cocktails and listen to live jazz group from the local school music students from 6pm-7pm, then I walk to my local sushi joint for great fish!

I dont know why im struggling with this question. Work is going well, but I don't really have much I'm looking forward to, atm. I feel like everything I have planned is more stressful than fun.

I'm excited to see my two teenage daughters perform together in their theater camp production in a couple of weeks. Seeing my girls growing up so fast can be bittersweet, and I relish these moments when they are so clearly full of joy for what they are doing. They will even have a duet together!

Actually really excited for the decentralized internet...

I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year. I'm so psyched to show all the old crones in the families how to do a proper holiday. I have so many fucking garlands in my Amazon shopping cart. Need another paycheck or two before I can pull the trigger.

I'm excited for my yoyo of the month mystery box. July's box was dope!

I'm cooking a pork roast to eat this week and I'm going to a concert next week. I also just bought a 15 pack of beer. Amazing things happening over here.

It’s adult night at the skating rink tonight and I’m going 🛼

My lunch

Going on leave soon with my family.

Hard question for a pessimist. I have some pretty delicious lunch coming up so that's pretty great.

I've had a rough 2 years, I think I'm looking forward to going back to school this year. (Teacher)
