Saw a toddler with a phone in hand today, maybe a year. Couldn’t walk yet, but had no trouble scrolling.

Kbin kept logging me out. At some point, it got so annoying, I deleted my bookmark.

We don’t have the medical treatment yet. But we’re getting close.

I guess you’d call this growing pains, and it’s good this happens this early and is being done in such a manner. There’s just no way to reason with corporate, you have to point a gun at its head to make it move.

I love his dramatic facial expression :)

Every decision he makes only hastens Twitter’s demise.

First result, searching from Japan. Maybe it’s very specific to Korea.

Gonna check out Connect, thank you :)

I don’t think Lemmy will reach or overtake Reddit. That’s a good thing in my opinion, because massive platforms come with massive moderation problems that aren’t so easy to tackle for decentralised networks. We’ve seen that when someone posted kiddie porn and several servers went down to scrub the filth from their systems.

If anything, Lemmy already has a pretty high amount of troll communities, thankfully mostly contained within their own servers, which enables separation through defederation (speaking of defederation, I’d love to have an option to block servers on the user level).

I’d think it’s more that there’s now more media fighting your attention. When I was a kid (GenX here), we had a handful of TV channels and books. Books was what I went with.

Nowadays, I get home from work and watch something on YouTube before bed. I still read, but my standards have risen, and a trashy space opera won’t do it anymore for me. It has to be a great one now, and there are fewer of them. So, naturally, YouTube gets a bigger share of my time. Or games, when I have time to play on the weekends. My comfort game used to be Civilization, and currently I’m hooked on Baldurs Gate.

When I first heard about the API shutdown, I immediately overwrote all my comments and posts with randomly generated nonsense, then kept reading till RIF ceased to exist. Before I deleted the account, I ran a mass-deletion tool. Hopefully that prevented them from restoring the original content I contributed for free. Been on Lemmy ever since.

Not everyone is an English native.

I only have four or five extensions and YouTube videos lag. It’s Firefox. I’ll still not switch to anything else, but I could imagine a clean Chrome without anything added and zero bookmarks purely as video platform.

People could see their reflection in the water long before they climbed down from the branches.

Will do, thanks :)

What do you mean by “the bad decision part”?

Writing, of course. I’m in the middle of a new project, which will be a pretty long space opera series. Not worrying about publishing any of it anytime soon, though, and I’m still tackling parts of the backstory and the arcs of various characters while the first part of the first book is already drafted.

Was thinking about that and decided to just shelve my books for now and decide later. Not in a hurry to publish.

Not even AI can detect AI-generated text though.

I’ll just keep on doing what I’ve been doing. Can’t help it.
