It mostly works for me.

Now asking “where would my wife put it?” has lower effectiveness because it can be fucking anywhere at that point.

Why even have Windows at this point? Just have Copilot as the OS and be done with it.

The great Reddit APIcallypse exodus - but not for the reason you’d think. I actually used official app, didn’t care much for the 3rd party stuff. Though I understood why people might care about it.

No, what did it for me was how Reddit handled it. The arogance. The hostile takeover of the subreddits that went down. I didn’t like that one bit. Plus, every day Reddit felt less like how it used to and more like your typical social media. But what can you do, eh? I liked the format. But there is nohing other like it… right?

Well I said something like that in some thread where the discussion went off-topic to discuss the situation (pretty sure it was a Harry Potter sub). “If only there was an alternative!” Well there was, and it’s called Lemmy, one user said. Intrigued, I checked it out - and was utterly confused. Instances? Federation? Makes no sense. So I figured I would ask. The guy (or gal) was super nice - answered all my questions, gave me pointers… and here I’m.

It was like you don’t know something was broken but suddenly it’s fixed and you don’t know how you could’ve functioned like that before. It certainly helped that at the time I came here for the first time, the activity was booming so it was easier to switch. Died out a little after a while, but I feel like it is in a very good place now, activity wise. There aren’t ultra specific communities for everything, but usually there is a general one at least. And it feels more like the Reddit I first joined than what it ended up being.

Infinitely grateful to the guy (or gal) tbh. Inevitably, being here taught me there are alternatives to more than Reddit. That open source apps are great, actually. That there is something like degoogling. That Linux might not be as scary and foreign, or for programmers only.

I don’t know who you are, kind lemming - but hope somehow you read this.

Just shows how well the rebranding was thought through.

Qobus looks interesting, thanks for sharing

I think I threw up in my mouth a little

Also on an assumption made where an informed decision could be made instread. State of technology is an objective thing

I haven’t tried it yet, but I got recommended Mango for this.

Definitely, there is using AI when you want and then there is having AI forced down your throat

Might be I’m dumb, but I don’t see any Waterfox downloads for Android?

Search engine replacement is probably the only use case of AI for me - for the times when I don’t know exactly what I’m searching for so the conversation style is helpful.

I feel like the news of EU “backing away” and “going forward with” keeps alternating on at least monthly basis.

There are many for sure, but now that I thought about it a bit, the strongest has to be me booting up and logging into World of Warcraft for the first time. Gave me such sense of wonder. And the world opening up more and more with every zone…

It’s beem years since I played it the last time but the game still sticks with me anyway.
