The stenographer for our local zoning & planning board still uses a XP netbook. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw it

People be lazy and just want to eat “something”, even if it sucks

I’m sure some people will swap, but nah no way it’s a meaningful loss

Ad blockers will still exist too, they just won’t be as effective. If the layman installs an ad blocker and gets one less ad, they won’t question it further

Honestly, a massive one for me is not letting myself get angry at a game I can’t hope to understand or master at a highly competitive level. I do a lot better at recognizing these days when I am intellectually or physically incapable of getting better quickly at a game - my mind shifts these activities outside of a competitive mindset and more to a leisure mindset.

When I’m not trying to actively compete against others to a point of pride, suddenly I’m a lot more receptive to incremental growth at my own pace

It is! I think it’s from the same Netflix show where he eats sushi off a naked cowgirls ass

Yeah like original post is bullshit but this isn’t at all a foreign thing to say

I lurk but Reddit is completely dead to me. I haven’t used it more than once or twice since the API change

Haha, I’m right there with you. I’m off Twitter & Reddit, I had no alternatives until Sync came back…

Exactly. The other end of it is that a lot of the app-specific advanced functionality made the transition for Day 1 - unless Infinity/else has some tricks i’m unaware of, its currently the most customizable/feature complete app - actual tablet modes, foldable support, biometrics for subaccounts, user painting/tagging for sub accounts, profile backups so you can carry customizations to other android devices - etc.

Its all auxiliary & definitely not required, but losing these features made Lemmy a no-go on mobile for me. It’s also missing some real basic stuff like mod tools & the ability to make posts at all, but i’ve used the app for a decade & the dev is quickly pushing fixes/new features out the door.

Hell yeah. Special shout-out to Sync for Lemmy for reeling me back in as a daily user.

Absolutely - our local smoke shop in my towns plaza.

Unironically yes

ShareX and it isn’t even close

Absolutely, by necessity. Can’t really take it for granted that being a lurker won’t overall impact the site. Unfortunately, my usual subs that I participate in haven’t yet made the leap of faith, so its hard to provide quality contribution until that improves

You’ve GOT to give

Oh FUCK yes, of course the Noita community isn’t afraid to join the fediverse.

Its been on my backburner thanks to ToTK/GGST/etc, but I appreciate you for putting this on my radar. Hopping over & subscribing ASAP :)

Seems to be that way :\

Honestly, I wondered about this… I should look more into that. I’m fine with my own upvotes/downvotes being public on this account - i probably wouldn’t want the same on a work or NSFW account, and can understand why it’d be an issue on personal accounts for some. A necessary evil for federation.

Honestly, the main thing for me is retaining the ability to downvote disinformation, bad faith arguments, and excessively offtopic/low quality contributions to a community. Definitely not an issue at Lemmys current size, it’d be a massive issue as it grew.

I’m in the same boat, but I also don’t think I could join an instance with downvotes disabled. Status quo is great, but there are times in which downvotes are necessary - seems a bit shortsighted to disable them
