I downloaded Connect for Lemmy as I’d seen others recommend it. I suppose I was drawn to using an app out of instinct rather than need. I’m waiting for Sync for Lemmy and can’t be bothered to try out a bunch of other apps before then.
I’m pretty sure the desktop browser version of 0.17 had a memory leak. My Lemmy tab in firefox would crash when left idle for too long. I trust its been fixed now, but when I first joined, using Jerboa on my phone was a more stable and usable expierence than the browser.
Use Lemmy in whatever form you find most enjoyable. Web browsers are perfectly fine if you prefer it.
Decimal time was introduced in Revolutionary France, just like the metric system and a decimal calendar. They made it non-mandatory after 17 months, partly because of the enormous costs to replace all clocks. The decimal calendar survived longer and was abolished by Napoleon as part of his reconciliation strategy with the Catholic church.
Decimal time is still used by the way. Astronomers use fractional days because it’s easier to do calculations with. And that very same ease of use is why Microsoft Excel uses fractional dates to calculate dates, as it requires less calculations.
Love the modified Julian date. You’ll also find some satellite-based astronomers measuring their observations in kiloseconds (I think Hubble does it in orbits but most of the X-ray satellites use kiloseconds).
You’re not missing anything by not using apps, as other people said, many people came here because reddit apps stopped working and they’re looking for replacements.
I never used apps on reddit, old.reddit on desktop was by far the best experience for me, I don’t intend to use apps on lemmy either.
desktop browser is the best! if you wanna write a quality comment that links to sources and quotes people, there's just nothing better. I couldn't imagine writing anything useful on some app on a touch screen. and even when I zombiescroll on the toilet, the mobile browser did fine with old.reddit. and no extra software clogging up my devices, that's a massive benefit for me.
Not that i am aware of. Our financial system is loaded with proprietary software. The only way i have found to fix it is to opt out as much as possible and use cryptocurrency which is what i have done
I suspect it will. We in the western world (US, Canada, UK, EU, etc) are used to very stable fiat currencies. Ask a person from Argentina, Turkey, etc if they would rather have their national currency or crypto and i bet a lot of them would take the crypto. A 10% fluctuation to them is a blessing to them because if they hold their currency they may drop 100% a year because of inflation.
Hello this is my first comment on Lemmy, so consider me an expert.
The idea of ‘federated’ websites is that you can use your login from one server to interact with another server. An analogy is email: you can have a gmail account that can send a message to a yahoo account via shared and open source protocols (e.g. SMTP).
One question I do have though; if I create my account on Lemmy.world and then for whatever reason that instance disappears; does my account disappear or is it recoverable on another instance?
First of all hey and welcome to lemmy^^ As some people already stated, there’s a big “which app to use” wave because of the whole “Reddit shut down 3rd party apps” and since lemmy is growing pretty fast a lot of apps are popping up. You don’t have to use them but for my experience, it’s less clunky and feels smoother than any website. On Desktop I still prefer to website.
Elantris, Warbreaker and started The Way of Kings, all by Brandon Sanderson. Read Mistborn Era 1 a couple years ago and loved it, finally decided to jump head in into the Cosmere.
It’s crazy to me that Infinity and Relay think they can get by on subscriptions, when the only people who use it enough to pay a subscription, use it more, making it exponentially more expensive as it’s based on usage.
The Relay developer has acknowledged this and has been tracking the number of users API calls, looking at the 90th, 95th, 99th percentiles as he expects these to be the users who pay a subscription. To me it seems like he's done enough research to come up with an accurate price.
I've been a Relay Pro user for years and loved it, but I just don't use Reddit enough to justify another subscription. I was okay with a 1 off payment (especially as it was just a couple of quid, although I would've been okay with way more), but I just can't justify a subscription to Reddit for the value I get out of it.
