I've switched to HERE for navigation too. I've used Citymapper for public transport both at home and on holiday and think it's great.

I'm really enjoying BookBeat. Especially with the student 60 day trial

I'd live to year people's recommendations for someone just getting in to books, albeit audiobooks.

I'd not considered that and wonder how much of a limiting factor it was. It certainly seems to have done well for the land in terms of biomass, but as for species diversity who knows?

I just hope this can be policed and makes a big difference.

Especially considering its buy European, not buy EU. Plus as a Brit I'm jealous not being included.

Ahh that makes sense.

Thank you 😀

I'm certainly enjoying Lemmy so far and think I'm getting to grips with it

Gaza paramedics shot in upper body ‘with intent to kill’, Red Crescent says in c/world@lemmy.world

As someone who proudly wore the Red Cross for many years as a volunteer I felt proud to be part of a global movement of Red Cross, Red Cresent & Red Crystal National Societies. Knowing that international law and the Geneva Conventions mean little to nothing to 'civilized' nations saddens me immensely.

I'd generally write it and and ask, 'how's this comment?'

Make the tweaks as needed. I'll hopefully use it less as I comment more.

Thanks for understanding

I'm only a month in to Lemmy, can you explain this bit for me?

subscribing to communities on other servers will drag the content over here.

Like OP I joined feddit.UK as a Brit it seemed the most fitting.

I tent to just view my subbed list and only sporadically come on to local to see what's happening on the instance.

I definitely get the Reddit vibe on my subbed feed.

Are you saying above that what I sub to that is in other instances comes here somehow?

Sorry for being a bit thick

inferiority complex

I was very much a reddit luker, I'm enjoying Lemmy but want more content and comments. The platform only grows if its used.

I need to put my money where my mouth is, can't expect everyone else to post so that I can lurk, I need to post too.

I needed AI to help me, maybe I don't?

A juice company dumped orange peels in a national park. This is what it looks like today (www.upworthy.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/20549992

...one thousand trucks poured into the national park, offloading over 12,000 metric tons of sticky, mealy, orange compost onto the worn-out plot. The site was left untouched and largely unexamined for over a decade. A sign was placed to ensure future researchers could locate and study it.

16 years later, Janzen dispatched graduate student Timothy Treuer to look for the site where the food waste was dumped.

Treuer initially set out to locate the large placard that marked the plot — and failed.

First Tattoo, thought I'd bitten off more than I could chew, end result... Love it (feddit.uk)
 

Wanted to get this tattoo for a little while, love the personal and classic symbolism of crows.

Parts of the outlining hurt more than I was expecting. Some of the shading hurt like a removed!

I'd not researched much and now I am I see just how much some some people say the chest hurts! I agree with them.

The artist was great and reassuring, Took her around 2 hours and can't wait to see it once the second skin comes off and it's all healed.

Tattoo by Pippa at Fates & Fury Tattoo, Sheffield, UK.
