And that’s why I’m never going back. I absolutely love it here. I scroll my feed for a few minutes here and there, drop a comment or two, and I’m done. No feeling of missing something cool. I’ve probably seen it and I’m good.

I think that depends on what profession you’re in. I get contacted on the regular by recruiters on that platform for jobs. It’s where I have found my last 2 positions in 7 years.

It is. They know everything about you. Even every store you have shopped at knows a lot about you. It really doesn’t take much interaction for a company to get a lot of info. It’s relatively easy to get an email and from there, if they wanted, they can get the rest of your profile from a 3rd party who has your data all matched up already. They can also build your profile pretty easily themselves as well.

For real. Even as a white guy, I’m tired of this shit as well. Wish we could get someone younger and more progressive on the ballot. It’s time to get those old ducks out of office. They have no grasp on how shit really works these days.

I've posted more but I'm still mostly a lurker. I have enjoyed reading the actual discussion here. The comments at reddit got to be so formulaic and the same across posts, it's refreshing to see actual thought and effort go into making comments.

That is for this! I was sorting by new and this is much better to see the active posts of the day.

That’s a false statement. It needs to have carbon-hydrogen non-ionic bonds for it to be organic. Think carbonic acid vs a ketone of some sort.

The official app is so terrible. I've tried it a couple of times. I think once people are forced to use that, we'll see more folks move away from reddit. Looks like they are already killing browsing on a mobile browser to force you to use the app.

My only concern is that I seem to have "Subscribe Pending" for a lot of different communities. Not sure what that means and not sure what the limits are for that.

Overall, I prefer it here over reddit. I think I will actually be more active.

For all you Linux folks complaining about why GOG isn’t on there:

For desktop and laptop computers, Microsoft's Windows is the most used at 69%, followed by Apple's macOS at 17%, and Google's ChromeOS at 3.2% (in the US up to 8.0%), and "desktop Linux" at 2.9%. In addition, 5% is attributed to "unknown" operating systems - which are likely forms of BSD or obscure varieties of Linux.

Maybe a small company can’t devote the resources for 5% of the market share when they have 86% covered.

They've never cared. How is this news to anyone?

Definitely. I said this in another reply as well, but I don’t respond unless they say something very specific about my background. I know AI can do that but that seems the best way to go for now.

That's an understatement. It was the worst of the worst that moved there and thought they were going to have free reign. Then Voat clamped down on the extreme racism and the site died.

For sure there are still those. I usually get one decent one for about 20 ransoms that don’t say a word. I usually don’t respond unless they say something specific about my background.

How do you like the Anbernic? What made you choose that over the Miyoo Mini Plus? if you don’t mind me asking.

Welcome to all of the new refugees! This place has been awesome so far.

And that’s why I’m never going back. I absolutely love it here. I scroll my feed for a few minutes here and there, drop a comment or two, and I’m done. No feeling of missing something cool. I’ve probably seen it and I’m good.

You need to pull the bandaid off. I started yesterday and replaced Apollo with Mlem and I'm not looking back.

Yeah, they can have it then. I'm done with that site.

It really is that simple

Holy shit! They restored my comments that I deleted the other day. What a crock of shit. Fuck u/spez.

Really appreciate all the hard work going on behind the scenes! Feels night and day different after the changes. Also appreciate the transparency. Nice to see in this day and age.

Definitely. I’m was trying to state that basic info about you is readily available to companies regardless of how you choose to interact with them.

Lol, gtfo. Fuck that place anyway.

It is. There’s no doubt about that.

I am as well. Hopefully it will bet resolved soon if it's a bug. Not super important, but a little confusing as a user.

Product development. Anything associated with building software products get a lot of traction on LinkedIn

I tried that a couple of times and it's still showing pending. I can give it a go again today.

Just because their parent company has that much money doesn’t mean they spend it on GOG.

Sure they can, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they are. It might just take a bit of time.

How anyone still supports this dude is beyond me. The horrible shit he's put a lot of people through for his own gain is pretty astounding. I'm amazed he can even find a lawyer at this point.

My last 11 years was mostly anonymous. Feels great to share ideas again.

Until the websockest thing is fixed, I can't browse by that method. My feed gets shit on 2 seconds after loading.

The court is a sham at this point. Damn near every ruling these days is a party line vote and it's disappointing. Why even haven them hear cases if we already know the outcome?

The fuck it does. I’ve seen comments of “This” get like 40k karma. How thoughtful is that?

I think that makes it worse. It’s obvious that he was doing that with this change in mind. Especially if he didn’t buy any over that period.
