Drove hundreds of miles through some very rural New England, USA today. Most areas were very nice with well kept homes and cute, small city centers (mostly only a couple of brick, commercial buildings).

What do people do for jobs out in the "middle of nowhere"? As an engineer who works closer to city areas where more jobs exist, I just can't fathom what people are doing for jobs out there? How is everything paid for?

Edit: I should clarify there's minimal farm land out in rural New England. So, not very many farmers at all.

Thoughts during my 3rd cold shower of the day, trying to keep cool in this muggy weather in the North East

It runs all the way down, flanking both sides. I pretend it's a moat for protection. So lush in some places it's difficult to not touch with your car as you drive along.

I'm now satisfied. Carry on. 😄

I'm using darkly-pureblack and it's just such a pleasure to look at. Such an improvement already from the 0.17.X days a month ago!

I'm using an Android (Pixel) phone, and I installed the PWA via Chrome, as it seems to work the best. Is there a way to change the icon easily?

It was so good! Oh no!

Sourced, not OC

Any post in a lemmy.world community I view from another instance (e.g. programming.dev) shows different content than when viewing from lemmy.world directly. Many comments are missing. There seems to be a massive lag, sometimes more than 1 day. Are instances really that far out of sync? It's hard to contribute from another instance knowing that nobody will see my comments for ~days

Anyone else? Can barely navigate, feels like browsing with a 56k modem. I'm in the US Northeast.

Reddit would become compatible with Lemmy essentially making it it's own "instance", and suddenly 3rd party apps work with Reddit again.

Full circle.

A world without sync on my Android device is sadface.

Already harvested the mizuna multiple times and just can't keep up!

I've noticed an overwhelming number of posts here glorifying the "good old days" and how Lemmy embodies that sense of community we all long for. But let's be real: we don't actually know each other, and that's okay.

When I hop onto a social media platform, I'm seeking something different. I crave the vastness of large communities where I can instantly engage with people, seek advice, and exchange ideas. It's about breaking news, both on a global and local scale, and sparking meaningful discussions.

As someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s, I witnessed the birth of web 1.0. I even hand-coded HTML for my elementary school's "web team" when I was just 12 years old. It was an incredible experience at the time, but times have changed. Now, for me, the internet represents a realm of connectivity, promptness, and the power of large-scale discussion.

Let's embrace the evolution of the internet, recognizing that we can still foster a sense of community while expanding our horizons beyond no
