I used to use reddit, I have moved all my presence over here. That’s about it.
I have a FB Messenger account because that is how a lot of my family keeps in touch with me, and I have this. I had a proper FB account back when I was in uni and Facebook was still only for uni students, but I think I dropped it shortly after that.
It’s not some grand principled stance, I just don’t get most of them because I am apparently an old man. Like Instagram, why do I want to share pictures with just random people? How am I networking with anybody by doing so? I honestly don’t get why it is so popular.
Just came here to declare my belief that Texas Style Bronto BBQ would be fucking delicious, and the Jurassic Park movies missed a rare opportunity to dive into the delights of discovering prehistoric cuisine.
In my journey away from corpo bullshit into more open-source stuff and trying to pull my friends along, I’ve come to realize convenience is a hard drug to ween off.
It’s almost impossible convincing some people to give up on cloud services because anything that’s more effort than logging into one account on a new device is too much. It’s not like these people are new to tech either, their patience has just been eroded over time by (usually invasive) convenience features.
Also gonna state I don’t think making tech more convenient is a bad thing, doing so without encroaching on peoples privacy and freedom should be the goal.
Talking to myself about niche topics like bourbon, civil engineering, my local city and state, and what not is boring. There just isn’t the user base here to have active discussions on such narrow topics.
I got a Magsafe case for my Pixel 6 Pro and I think this will be a requirement for all my phones going forward (maybe easier with Qi2). The one I got is a Moment case which is nice and thin, but there are parts where dust gets stuck and some parts of the plastic edge have cracked. I have heard good things about Peak Design, so I’ll probably be going with them if I need another case.
I agree that would be nice to have. There’s “Trending communities” on the main page, but I realized they coded that section to be “today’s activity level vs. the average level”, which means brand new communities with only one post and no comments were being shown as “trending” since today’s activity is infinitely more than the average, which was zero before today.
