Aren’t forums technically social media as well?

puts him pretty solidly to the right of most people here.
i feel like lemmy is pretty left of reddit, which in itself is pretty left-leaning… so saying “right of most people here” is a really low bar
News headlines gonna be like “millenials are bankrupting an American institution, the fast food industry”
I mean, that’s basically what restaurants do…
My friends and I were hanging out at my mates’ place (he used to work as a line cook), he made us all pasta and it tasted amazing.
Turns out the secret was to add a scary amount of butter, and then add some more.
Salt, butter and MSG is the secret behind half the restaurant industry.
Isn’t that just a game of whack a mole though? Ban VPNs ending in Charleston, people hop to another location. Rinse and repeat
I mostly use All as well. I have the following blocked:
all the meme communities that pop up. It’s just spammy posts
all beehaw communities. Mostly because they were defederated with the largest lemmy communities, and I didn’t want to talk to only a small subset of users. Not sure if they’ve changed anything since
hexbear because… Hexbear
Many mobile games are just thinly veiled attempts at monetization. Get people hooked, then start adding time-bound gates you can unlock, add PvP with loot boxes and multiple types of premium currency that’s hard to keep track of. Doesn’t matter what the game is about - you can do this to racing games, fighting games, gardening games, whatever.
That said there are still mobile games that are fun and genuinely good gameplay - I used to love Minigore too, after it was available on Android. But these are few and far between.
why do we insist on giving this guy so much free advertising? move on already lol
lol. India is just like Trump - did something wrong and is now throwing a tantrum when they’re being called out on it.

oh man that was one of the best phones hardware-wise. unfortunately that was also the era when samsung = bloatware
i don’t doubt that linux has its uses and command-line is powerful. What I’m saying is >80% of users only know how to use a GUI, and that is why linux won’t go mainstream without having a GUI for everything user-facing.
I haven’t seen any ads, so my feelings about Windows might change at some point. But I’ve tried linux in the past, and there’s a reason why it just doesn’t get as much adoption.
First of all, linux seems to be built around the command line. I hate using the command line, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Everytime there’s something to troubleshoot I have to figure out command line inputs and outputs.
Second, the annoying issues with windows are annoying, but I’ve learnt to figure it out. No, I don’t want to set as default, no I don’t want to send data, no i don’t want to create a MS account. Even if I didn’t figure it out, I can still change it later - sending data is annoying af and i don’t like it, but it doesn’t stop me from doing something. On the other hand, i encounter issues with linux that stop me from actually using the OS all the time. Everytime I do, I have to post in forums asking for help, wait 12-36 hours while using an alternate OS/workaround, and dread the inevitable use of command-line that follows.
I was there in the 80s and 90s. You young people are definitely luckier. You are by far more beautiful, more gentle, you are more welcoming, you don’t discriminate against gays and nerds. Socializing without mobiles was as boring as you can expect.
But you could afford a house on a single income :'(
this is exactly how I feel! I don’t get any sense of achievement from running a certain distance or running faster than I did before, and it feels terrible (and I know I can stop that feeling if i just stop running). Almost every other sport gets me that sense of achievement but requires more time, money or effort in some form.
Running. It’s the cheapest, easiest form of exercise, but it absolutely bores me to death and i just can’t deal with it after 5 minutes.
I don’t mind most other forms of exercise, it’s just that they all require more time, effort or resources. Going to the gym requires a gym membership, basketball requires friends, etc.
I agree. The lemmyverse still need to grow to have any chance of lasting beyond the next year or so
he just implemented an anti-NSFW upload feature in the app to do his part. Essentially, Sync users currently can’t post any kind of porn
but what about normal, legal, NSFW material?
the fact that you think this is laughable points to how left you are compared to the average user.
Here’s some data on reddit vs the US average. Admittedly from some time back but it hasn’t changed much. https://www.statista.com/statistics/517259/reddit-user-distribution-usa-political-spectrum/
