Off the top of my head, not counting the plethora of gift cards:

• A first edition Kindle Fire a month after it released. For being tech-illiterate, she ended up loving it and upgraded a few times through the years.

• Several Roku boxes and Fire TV sticks, which are just now getting used because my parents are finally cutting the cord.

• Lots of concert tickets for various bands, including Foo Fighters, Green Day, and Kiss.

• 1-week all expenses paid trip to Nashville for some big New Year’s party that some celebs showed up to.

• $600 cowboy boots.

• $300 KitchenAid mixer.

• A full set of Paula Dean cookware, and she LOVES Paula Dean.

Not OP but my mom enters literally every contest she sees and has won a surprising amount.

Good bot

3, 2, 1…

Yep, there is a vendor that shows up to farmers’ markets here called “CornHub” with the same design.

Counterpoint: Wearing and maintaining a clean mask takes nearly zero effort and provides peace of mind for a lot of people.

Yep, I’m never watching Linus after this.

Is there even anything new here? Everything mentioned in the OP link has been a thing on Reddit in a few communities for a couple of years now.

Edit: I just checked Wayback Machine, this page hasn’t changed since it was first published in 2021.

Small correction: They’re Arbitrum Nova tokens, not ETH tokens anymore.

Greatly saves on gas fees, but Arbitrum Nova has narrower support.

Kraken just added support for Moons and Bricks, so the methods of cashing out are becoming easier.

What’s for dinner today?

The host of a tech podcast I listen to has had a Mastodon instance for years. I knew of the Fediverse because of that, but I always thought of it as decentralized Twitter and not necessarily a way to decentralize all types of social media platforms.

Same reason here. I convinced both of my parents to get Chromebooks over the last few years, and the number of “service calls” I get from them have dropped drastically.

I know that Lemmy is years old, but as this is my first day on the platform, it feels like a whole new world.
