The initial intent of reddit was to have downvotes be for off topic stuff, and yet most people use it as a silent "your opinion sucks" button. That stuff just adds to the hivemind feel of reddit. I wish there was a way to have an alternative system of weeding out misinformation or rude stuff without having to deal with something like downvotes. I suppose moderation could serve the purpose of weeding out the bad stuff instead, but then each community would need to be moderated properly.
This sucks. A lot of people like me only use zoom because classes/webinars/meetings/interviews are hosted there and we can't really complain about something we have to attend for our own good, especially if everyone else is doing it. It sucks so bad, I hate how it's like this. I wish people in my country would care enough to find this AI shit a red flag, but sadly I don't think so.
I'm so happy that Thunderbird is finally getting a modern redesign.
I actually discovered Matrix through the comments on here and am now using Element. I'm really glad about it. I knew there was something fishy with discord suddenly being so intrusive about their super long "birthday celebration" (with annoying unread notification needing me to click on their gift reveals ugh) and making activities free or whatever lol.
I love Bear and used to use it a lot, but don't want to be locked into just apple stuff. Still I am glad to see they're still going strong and I'm really happy they aren't forcing AI integration (which is something Notion has done/is currently doing and monetizing...).
Love the recommendations here! Would also like tech YouTube or general content creator recommendations too since a lot of them say some really sus shit that has nothing to do with tech. Recently unsubbed from one that outright made a blatantly sexist joke complete with visuals
my situation is very similar to yours; I was previously an obsidian user but then switched to logseq for everything. I really wonder why logseq website doesn't hype up the fact that it's an outliner, because imo that's what sets it apart from similar programs. I didn't even know what an outliner was until recently
imo it's worth it to play the megaten spinoffs in general, just like what helix said in another comment here. In particular I would like to recommend Devil Survivor because of a lot of things: has a skill steal (skill crack) system so you progressively get better skills for yourself and your demons, makes you think about how you make your team, the first game has the best alignment ending choices in the whole megaten series, the demon auction system, and more. Also: Octopath traveler and its sequel are good
TIL there are LGBTQ conservatives 🤯
Anyways, lmao
I wonder if this would affect ReVanced. YouTube and google suck so bad. Also I hope people discover ReVanced because of this regardless lol but I still hope its not affected
I can relate to that a lot. I usually also comment on niche subs with a help question. Not sure what it is about reddit that makes the common redditor act like a hostile person with a superiority complex. It's very irritating, like they do the opposite of touching grass 24/7 and hate you for posting.
Beehaw and Lemmy are much smaller so that's also why the quality of the people here is just overall better. the moderation style in beehaw also helps. It also helps me feel like I can freely comment the way I want to.
DDG for everyday usage. Sometimes I try searching the same things on google just to compare results. I've tried searxng instances on and off in the past but its rarely been reliable for me and self hosting isn't really an option for me.
what sucks about notion's AI stuff is that you can't even opt out of it. Back when I used to be a notion user part of what made me leave is that doing commands with the forward slash was always shoving AI shit in my face lol
I wonder why author (is it OP?) chose to share an unfinished blog post? First time I'm seeing a draft being shared. It also confuses me that the title makes it seem like it's about the user but the article talks about venture capital funding, unsustainable computing, and financial feasibility? Most casual users doesn't care about stuff like that, that stuff is the company's problem, so why the accusatory title?
Terraria gamers stay winning!!! For real though, amazing feat.
So glad to see Roadwarden mentioned! Another short game I played recently is Paradise Marsh. Its not really text-focused (it's more dialogue and only some snippets of lore pieces) but it's a short simple game with a very nice story. It also has birds that make poems!
I hope more communities think of migrating to other places instead of staying on reddit. It's getting worse with each passing day.
I used stitcher in the past, but uninstalled it soon after. I eventually moved to using Antennapod. Still using it now!
it's been crashing ever since that version error message started appearing. I have since uninstalled it and am just accessing beehaw using my mobile browser. It's actually pretty good. Sure I know there are other apps in development but I would like them to mature a bit more before I try to get into them, especially considering my buggy experience with jerboa.
Really don't know how they thought of the name Firefish without thinking it would make people think of Firefox first. Like how did they brainstorm this name, it makes me wonder
