I can manage to skip FB altogether, but 99% of my friends and family are on Messenger

Libre Office then?

True

Definitely feels emptier than it was a few months earlier, but so far I enjoy the “I’m not just a pawn in an ocean of users” feel that Lemmy gives vs Reddit

Much like GIFs, MP3s will never go away.

Sure there are better alternatives, but widespread adoption over decades now is hard to gloss over.

I remember buying concert tickets for me and my gf for under $20. For both.

Fuck Ticketmaster.

Please God no. I cannot fathom how people manage to hear my real voice.

I sound so much better inside my skull

Sid Meier’s Civilisation. Got me hooked like what I imagine crack cocaine and meth would do to you.

I personally post relevant information to the communities I’ve created and moderate, but I’m not here to be an entertainer. I get a handful of upvotes so I guess it’s useful to some people.

If Reddit fucks up even more I might have a bigger role, but so far it pretty feels like that Milhouse GIF playing frisbee with himself, and I’m sort of okay with that.

I simply cannot stand LTT. I wish there was a TLDW bot on lemmy. I’ve seen it in a couple of posts.

There’s no way the model is sustainable once everyone starts their streaming platform.

Longform YT content has never been better IMO.

I feel like sub-10min videos have basically been Hello Fresh or similar advertisements with padding content to barely reach the 10 min mark.

But 1+hour video essays often have incredible research and production value on a wide range of topics.

I tried so many YT frontends and I found ReVanced to be the best, imo.

The fact that you can you can keep your account AND customize you frond end to your liking is pretty awesome.

SmartTube if you have an Android TV / Chromecast etc

Could be worse: I was all for the .ARJ church back then. LHA was also considered

I remember visiting Reddit and StumbledUpon and thinking to myself how ugly these sites were compared to my beloved Digg

I couldn’t stand his Tesla/SpaceX obsession but for the past few months he seems to have let go of it

Swipe on my gboard has definitely gone worse lately. Same for my YT recommendations. I never ever watch shorts, and 90% of my recommendations are 13sec clips.

Everything that has lots of wired coil (motors, generators, turbines, wireless charging)

Less resistance = less energy lost in these endless wire coils.

• Fire hazard
• General safety
• AC in the house
• My dog would hate me for the rest of his life

I’m shocked but how many still sleep with their door closed.

Nova for so many years. One time purchase and endless possibilities across countless android devices.

I know it’s now trendy to hate on Nove since they sold to another company, but frankly, it’s still the best out there in regards to customization, stability and support.
