Do you have recommendations for fixing discoverability? I can browse by category on streaming apps, but that just shows the top ten or twenty titles. Beyond that it’s search by name or scroll alphabetically.

The user I’m thinking of has a cat themed username. They comment quite a bit, or at least they used to.

Short comments scream human to me more than long comments. Like that guy who never posts any comments shorter than three paragraphs all perfectly formatted and punctuated.

My point is that I don’t search for or subscribe to communities, though. Instead I browse all and mute communities I’m not interested in. This is much harder to do on global all.

In my view this isn’t a problem that needs to be fixed, it’s just something new users have to get used to.

It’s also my biggest complaint, but I avoid it by just browsing local all.

We can help on a very small scale by planting a variety of native plants and not using pesticide or herbicide. I don’t know much about the risks of fertilizer on a small scale, but it’s generally not needed for native plants anyways.

Yes, I also want smaller phones. Even my “regular” sized phone doesn’t fit into running shorts phone pockets unless I remove the case, but even then it’s a tight fit.

The latest pixel pro is available in both the regular size and the XL. In previous models the pro was only available as the XL.

Any time a video is known by its title instead of a description, it’s better not to seek it out.

Vinyl instead of boards also removes any particular spacing requirements.

Reminder that Firefox on mobile also has ublock origin and other add ons that improve the experience.

Zero Google AI in chat gpt, mission accomplished I guess?

Y has a vertical part, just like its axis. X is the other one.

I haven’t in over a decade. I think I’m up to eight different word filters trying to stop news stories about this from showing up on my feed. If they didn’t have such a stupid name I could just block the term meta.

Discoverability is my biggest issue with the subscribed feed. If I’m using subscribed, I’m not finding new communities. Curating a set of base communities that I want to see does seem like it would be worth the effort, though. Thanks for the suggestion.

I love the idea of the decentralized services, but trying to browse global all is a nightmare. Even browsing local all I have a ton of communities blocked and add more every day. The only downside is when communities I like migrate to a different instance. I still try global all once every few months, but it never lasts long.

If you have two cars, one EV and one ICE is a great option. I do recommend whoever is more enthusiastic about EVs get the first one, though.

Awesome, thank you for this!

I’m no encryption expert, but wouldn’t a backdoor of any kind be inevitably exploited by a malicious actor?

Linux expects you to know what the fuck you’re doing.

I’ve heard people claim Mint is easy enough for non technical users (grandma, etc.), but I think that’s with the caveat that they will have someone to support the machine.
