I definitely miss old Reddit, but it's definitely dead now.
Used to be my go-to scrolling every day. After they screwed 3rd party apps I found Lemmy and love it. There was an obscure open source Reddit app that used scraping that was still working so I'd been using Lemmy and Reddit about 50/50. Nice thing was the Reddit app kept me logged out with no engagement so I wasn't feeding the beast.
The other day all those little scraping Reddit apps finally died. Just useless. So fuck em I guess. If I ever need a more real-time larger user base I can go on desktop for it, but there is no mobile Reddit option (including offical) that's even remotely usable now.
Can't believe how much better the Lemmy experience is, even with its shortcomings. My only issue has been that the desktop web access feels rough. It also stinks not having the benefits of centralized storage. With Reddit I could bookmark anything and everything of interest in something like Raindrop.io and go see it any time months later. With Lemmy things often seem to be gone in days or weeks, or an instance will just be formatted horribly on desktop.
Still more convenient than Reddit and I hope the dev efforts keep polishing things up! 👍
I would NEVER condone violence. But hypothetically, as a united States citizen, the most significant thing a person could do is eliminate two Supreme Court Justices.
It's the only part of our government with ZERO balance of power, and it is currently using its power to change settled interpretations of the law.
OK but why is my state mandated minimum insurance nearly $90 a month for a Toyota Prius that I only drive like 30 miles per week?
My liability only plan was $55 in 2018.
I'm over 30 years old with no tickets or accidents on my record.
Maybe the whole data farming thing is being used as an excuse also, but this is bullshit all up and down.
100% Has happened many times. Often those things are later re-discovered. But who knows?
How many reporters around the world have had a car spontaneously explode, or suffered sudden-onset jumpeez near a window?
How many scientists and researchers have had significant breakthroughs or discoveries about hazards of waste or energy efficiency, only for their work to suddenly be labeled falsified and personal reputations dragged through the mud?
The Logitech G604 has been my champion

It's immediate predecessor definitely felt more rugged, in terms of build quality, but it's still the only mouse I can use.
At first the price will probably be listed high, but they go on sale all the time. I gotten mine and its previous model somewhere between $40-$60.

I love it when companies think the (often invented) number of pirated copies has any meaningful correlation to lost revenue.
My girlfriend and I have one Nintendo Switch. We share it. But the only modern Nintendo games I play are the Legend of Zelda series. Since Breath of the Wild, when a new one came out, we'd buy it right away, and then I'd end up placing a copy on my PC to play so we could play together.
If Nintendo thinks I'm gonna buy a game twice just to play at the same time as my partner, when we only have the one console, think again. If Nintendo thinks someone who only likes one game is gonna buy a whole second console, they're out of their minds.
What I do own is a Steam Deck, because Steam is a platform first and I can play my games on my fancy PC at home and on multiple devices. My Steam Deck can even play non-steam games great too!
The second Nintendo makes a PC store that let's me play their games on my other hardware, I'll start buying that second copy of all our games solely for the convenience of it. Until then they can suck an egg.
Depends on length. Fun fact: in most Spanish-speaking countries, only the first letter of the first word is capitalized for things like movie titles and posters. Learning that really made me think twice about how trigger-happy I get with capitalization.
I always felt like Flowers For Algernon was such a compelling book and the only movie i know of is one of the worst things I've ever seen. You would think it was a comedy based on that movie.
Damn, even after his sick new sneaker line?
Robin Williams had a degenerative neurological disorder and didn't want to live through the decline. Common misconception as media speculation was "funny man sad" long before the family shared any details.
Damn
