If you are or were a student in Australia, Mexico, southern USA, Spain, Portugal, Greece, South Africa, or any other hot parts of the world, how do/did you stay cool during the day?

I live offgrid in a campervan in the desert US. I maintain temps by snowbirding (changing elevation and latitude to follow mild wx).

I have shadecloth and an evaporative cooler when things get a little intense. Temp-controlled roof vent.

Dog person. I’ve met a few cats I liked, but in general if I wanted to live with a creature that consumed resources and ignored me I’d still be married. :-P

what do people have against chromium?

Dunno about others, but I run older hardware and Chrom* was a resource piglet for me.

Vanilla firefox-esr from the Debian repo + TOR browser when required. I’ve flirted with others but keep coming back to FF.

the grilled cheese sandwich ease/pleasure ratio is hard to beat.

Doom, then Halo on xbox, now Minecraft on PC

If the mod teams of a reasonable number of medium sized active subreddits just decided to spin up their own lemmy or kbin instances, it would make fedi aggregators a real destination for Reddit folks overnight.

That’s a compelling point.

Reddit is Dead, long live… leddi- lemmy?

Earlier this year I s/twitter/mastodon/ to good effect. I don’t think s/reddit/lemmy/ will happen anytime soon; the numbers are too small for any real network effect.

For example, the subreddit I spend the most time in has >2million readers. There are enough posts daily that my niche interests come up regularly and I contribute to those discussions.

The overwhelming deluge of “how do I [insert trivially-googleable thing here]?” in subreddits of any size.
