Same. I just started today and I’m having fun with it. Feels like when I just started Reddit. Definitely not as many communities but I feel like it’ll get there.
This seems like as good a thread as any to make my first post in as a Lemmy user. I’ve been on Reddit since '09, and was on slashdot back in the 90’s. I really am hoping that these new, federated services take off. Onboarding still seems like the biggest hurdle.
After onboarding the interface is kind of rough to figure out. Mostly because the mobile web version isn’t that great, and jerboa also isn’t that great, and they’re different enough that switching back and forth gets you confused. With reddit’s problems, I imagine we’ll see some more client apps and ui improvements show up in the next couple months with the added attention, and that’ll be the end of that. Honestly, I thought it’d be rougher. I do wish I got more replies to my comments though, so i’m trying to make a point to post a bit more than I ordinarily would.
The desktop web interface seems pretty similar to old reddit/rif so I haven’t had that much difficulty with browsing. The fact that I’ll be losing my niche subs is the hardest part of moving entirely to Lemmy though.
The Aptera Solar EV is all about right to repair! 80% of all maintenance can be done with an allen wrench! You can also change out any of the components you see fit to alter. Sooo cool!!
I’m not familiar with 3BP’s design process for the Droplet, but Aptera’s design is 100% based on aerodynamics. Aptera’s engineering team is amazing and as long as it made sense regarding wind resistance, it was selected. The trunk can become a tent with the Aptera too, pretty ingenious.
I’m more of a fan of Universal Basic Services, because money shouldn’t really be part of the equation and it creates a tons of loopholes that can be exploited. Everyone should have basic needs guaranteed unconditionally. Food, shelter, healthcare, public transit, and education must be considered to be basic rights.
I still don’t get why this whole concept of the superposition exists. Like, yeah, if you don’t measure something, you don’t know what it’s like. This isn’t new.
The only new aspect at the quantum level is that you cannot measure without (non-neglible) impact on the thing that you’re measuring, because our usual method of measuring involves blasting it with quanta (photons).
That means some of our usual science concepts don’t work anymore, like measuring something, then changing it in some way and then measuring again.
But just telling people precisely what I just said, feels so much simpler than raving on about how we should call the state of “we haven’t looked at it yet”.
