Maybe your friend doesn’t really want to talk about kids when they have some free time away from them and is possibly interacting with others who don’t have kids?
As someone without kids…it’s not very interesting to hear about my friends’ kids. I understand they are a huge part of their lives - taking most of their time. But also being able to talk about other things matters.
For me the content is just not quite there on Lemmy. Less stuff overall and less interesting and active communities. I wish Lemmy became a lot more popular because Reddit is firmly in an enshittification phase.
The moment old.reddit.com is gone, I’m done with it.
Dual boot is a pain in the ass. I did this for a time and just ended up going to one OS.
My journey with Linux has always ended with “Oh, it’s easy, just paste this mile long command i to the terminal to do something that is a checkbox on Win or MacOS” type nonsense.
There’s just not any true benefits for me to run Linux. Windows and MacOS have their own bullshit but generally the amount of BS is easier to manage than Linux.
I’d argue that logos are a hugely expressive form. It’s just that 90% of them are basic ass shit tier stuff.
AI has basically raised the level of “shit tier” pretty high. I sometimes go check out Hotone Audio’s Facebook page to see if there are new firmware updates for my device, but they mainly peddle pointless AI slop marketing images. I’m sure there are tons of companies like this.
It’s the literal example of the marketing person being able to churn out pictures without an artist being involved, and thus the output is a pile of crap even more vapid than stock photos.
Analog connections are very universal. You don’t need to deal with handshakes between devices, sample rate differences, clock systems etc. because each device receives and outputs analog signal via mostly the same 1/4" jacks and plugs.
While a digital signal chain would have overall latency benefits and fewer A/D/A conversions, it just doesn’t matter that much with modern hardware.
Movies are unrealistic because they never show the angry stud finder part of punching walls.
You ever manage to hack into the Pentagon by furiously typing for about 5 seconds?
Some kids claimed you could run faster if you hold your fingers straight, because that’s how T-1000 (Robert Patrick) runs in Terminator 2.
I think you could do almost anything for a day. One day is “Here’s Jim, he’s new, and we are going to show him how we do things here” stuff where little actual work happens.
A month would be a more realistic situation. I wouldn’t want to be military in an active war zone, work for a drug/trafficking cartel, or any other dangerous profession where the likelihood of dying or going to prison is high. Or professions where I’d have to actively harm people.
Infinite growth and the shittification of services and products while exploiting labor to make that happen are the real problems.
Billionaires should not exist and companies should be doing what is best for the company, its employees and customers, not what pleases their stockholders.
It’s been a rough year and I came very close to being furloughed. Managed to get a new client just at the right time and now I’m thriving again. I’m thankful for having frankly a lot of luck over the years which has put me where I am today. I’m not saying hard work wasn’t important too, but sheer luck has been helpful too.
You would think the Internet and access to an unprecedented amount of information would have made us smarter, more emphatic, and so on.
But it turns out people are easily misled and manipulated. Social media quickly starts to feed you more of the same crap just because you watched one video. Village idiots can now form echo chambers with like-minded individuals, e.g flat Earth believers.
Those who want power will take advantage of people who fall into all this.
Galaxy Fold 4. The default is Samsung Internet, but the one I use is Vivaldi, which I also use on desktop.
Exactly. The amount of /r/adviceanimals level pure shit content on Reddit is high, paired with the bots that repost things until they start hocking some crypto bullshit links.
But I have kept using Reddit for years because every once in a while, you see someone write thoughtful posts about some niche subject you didn’t even know existed. That’s always interesting.
Lemmy is at a state where it needs more users writing about things that interest them.
Relay Pro just went to subscription, so the last 3rd party Reddit app is gone. I will probably read Lemmy much more on mobile from now on and hope it picks up steam.
Clean the shower drain. You can also get little nets for catching hair under the grate, at least for the ones usually found in my country. It’s surprising how much hair ends up there.
To me Liftoff looks a lot more cluttered than Jerboa.
Loved Boost for Reddit.
The ability to mute any sound I hear. Baby crying, annoying hum, someone snoring, obnoxious drunk? Muted.
I like it as an idea but fear it would be used by bots and scammers.
Yes I think SSO would be a benefit.
People are generally used to doing one of these:
Fediverse at the moment has a lot of “huh, why do different instances have different stuff and why can’t I just access all of that? Oh, I can? But why is it so complicated? Why can’t I just use it from one place?” that is definitely a hindrance to adoption until enough people are there to tell “do it like this” or the system becomes more user friendly and abstracts some of the inconveniences.
As it is, e.g Lemmy can’t even do pagination right, so there’s still a lot of work to be done before it’s a polished experience.
I feel like they could have gone much crazier with the premise, but it had some great jokes.
