I said in my final paragraph that Lemmy is nice but there is so little content here. The communities I frequent here (with very active reddit counterparts) have like a submission every few days. Just check !football@lemmy.world for example.
I’m on Pixel 7 Pro and after this winter (dry hands) I’m leaning towards iPhone. I’m so sick of failing the fingerprint scanner 3-4 times before having to resort to the pin code.
FaceID worked so well on the Pixel 4 XL - why isn’t any Android manufacturer picking it up??
My first gig as a software developer offered Fedora23 I think it was if you wanted Linux. Would be interesting to see how much has changed but I don’t really have a machine to just throw fedora on
I was close to it. I’m an advocate for paying for services I use. We’re way too used to getting everything for free and we should be willing to pay for services we appreciate.
Which made me realise that Facebook especially I don’t appreciate. So I quit instead. It had value to me once but those times are long gone.
Feels like something that can be very frustrating unless they get it perfectly right
Who cares, we’re leaving an economy where no one cared about profitability. Just growth. It’s all about whether they can capitalize on that growth now.
Spotify was the same. Turned a profit the first quarter after shifting the focus towards profitability.
I’ve never seen the view of an IPO so heavily affected by bias. Superusers hate Reddit but so what - what matters is whether soccer moms are scrolling and being shown ads. No one cares that the most costly users are unsatisfied. You and me both are nothing to investors.
Is there some objective analysis of this IPO? All I’m seeing is “I’m a superuser who spent a lot of time on Reddit in 2007 and it was far superior back then. The stock will tank.”
Much harder to get distracted with a pen and paper. Main reason I use it.
Ah, might be! It’s been 10+ years since I tried it. Back then I found it very hard to navigate
Same with Lightroom vs Darktable.

I disregarded it because just from reading the description, I thought I knew how it would end. Finally gave it a chance and they dismissed my theory in the first episode 😅
100% recommend the show!
I think you’re spot on and it applies in general to why we see a trend of subscriptions. When we all got our first smartphones, most apps were local and it didn’t cost the developer more if they had 1M downloads compared to if they had 50 downloads.
I think the main issue is we don’t know where Lemmy is one year from now. I have already started to see a decline in my usage because there simply isn’t enough content. /c/football is virtually dead it feels like and it (or rather /r/soccer) was my number one subreddit.
What the hell, this is so impressive. I’m blown away! Did not expect this kind of experience this fast!
Pff, this has to do with people caring more about their polling numbers than the environment.
Actually saving the environment requires some hard sacrifices and it’s hard to be the elected leader who tells their voters that they’re going to pay more and get less.
But in non-democratic countries you’re right of course.
Are you kidding me? Just checked this community for the first time in a month and this post is 15 minutes old? That’s freaky timing
I have been a loyal Firefox users for years but I would lie if I didn’t say I get tired of websites not working.
I think one general benefit of open source is that in general - they are built for the user rather than for the stakeholders.
If Spotify was an open source app - you know for sure you would be able to hide podcasts for example (for people who don’t care about podcasts and just want a music experience). However, since for Spotify The Business it’s better to piss off X% of their users if Y% of their users turn into podcast users - they’re not going care about the angry X%.
So in general - in open source apps you’ll generally find features users actually want and very rarely the app will try to push new features on you because they’re trying to make numbers look good on their quarterly report.
Eh, I don’t think I should use my phone more while in bed…
