How often are yall shopping at Costco?
  • We go maybe twice a month. We have to go down and cross the border into Oregon to do it, so we don't do it that often. They have a few things that we just won't do without. My husband loves the muffins, has one every morning for breakfast.

  • I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I love this app.
  • Oh absolutely. I' rather time be taken to get things right tan to do a rush job. The important thing is, the needs have been acknowledged. That's a big first step. Lemmy is still new, no one is in a hurry. Thanks for all you do.

  • I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I love this app.
  • EEEEEEEEE!!!! Thank you so much! I really appreciate that you take the opportunity to get feedback and then actually listen to it.

  • Pushing back against the wave of bot accounts on Lemmy
  • we're all still small fries, but that's ok because the fediverse is large. We're just small apartment buildings full of people in a larger city. We're not alone and size isn't as important as community and communication.

  • Pushing back against the wave of bot accounts on Lemmy
  • We purged 32k unverified bot/spam accounts from our Lemmy instance this past week. We had email verification on but had missed adding CAPTCHA during initial setup. We're still fairly new. Had over 1500 accounts "apply" within a 2 minute span. My admin email was flooded. It was ridiculous.

    They're gone now, but we're staying vigilant.

  • Self-checkout theft causing problems for retailers — and shoppers who despise receipt checks
  • We have reusable nylon bags and those are nice and sturdy. My local grocer... I line up my groceries on the belt in little piles and put one bag with each pile. I would think the point was obvious. They grab the bags and just throw whatever they want into each bag. raw meats mixed with boxed goods. heavy items on my eggs. I dislike going to my local grocer because there's no self-check option. I was a cashier for a while and got a lot of compliments and praise from my customers because I bagged smartly. It's not that hard to say "oh this is a freezer item, maybe I should put it with other freezer items".

  • Self-checkout theft causing problems for retailers — and shoppers who despise receipt checks
  • I agree. Self-check should come with a discount of some kind. For a lot of people it will absolutely feel/be unpaid labor. For me it's a way to keep control over things and I am willing for that to be the case, but a lot of people are getting shoved into self-check due to lack of paid employees and cutbacks on cashier hours. It's ridiculous.

  • Self-checkout theft causing problems for retailers — and shoppers who despise receipt checks
  • I prefer self-checkout because cashiers don't know shit about bagging groceries in a reasonable manner. I don't like dealing with people and I like my groceries bagged to my specifications. Self-checkout is a godsend.

    That said...

    I have made mistakes. I've accidently stolen from WalMart. I've been an employee of WalMart; I am not crying over this. WalMart is a shit employer and they have a ton of self-check so they can continue to refuse full time jobs to cashiers so they don't have to pay benefits. Fuck them.

  • Reddit protest updates: news on the apps shutting down and Reddit’s fights with mods - The Verge
  • browsing in new I have seen a !houseplants but I'm not sure which instance it was on. It would be nice to see cozyplaces or something like it though.

  • I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I love this app.
  • This would be exactly how I listed priority of features as well.

  • I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I love this app.
  • How are you moderating communities with the app? I have zero moderation tools available when I am logged in and I am an admin on the instance.

    Also I have a second account on the same instance but when I log into that one all my upvotes and subscriptions are identical to my main account. I can't do anything separately.

    I love this app, the UI is nice to me and it's quick and easy to use. But I need mod tools and for accounts to actually be separate.

  • Threads gained 10 million new users in seven hours
  • I wonder how many might be bot accounts?

  • What's your email client of choice?
  • on desktop I use eM Client. On Android I was using just plain GMail but I saw people in this comment section using other stuff so I checked it out and swapped to FairEmail.

    edit: FairEmail is fantastic and I've upgraded to pro. Definitely recommend this one for mobile users with multiple email accounts.

    Used to use Thunderbird but I wanted something that just looked like it was from this century. I like how eM Client works and its features and it looks nice. I don't like that I am limited to 2 email accounts though. I'd love something like it that is FOSS and allows more email addresses.
