  I got an invite to join last year and signed up to test it out.

  Felt like there was a lot less people and a lot less content on it than Mastadon.

  Unless the users/content now really starts to take off, there’s not enough on there to make it interesting.

  Yeah, it seems to work now. Didn’t used to work reliably a few years ago. Now, text within any document I save seems to come up in search shortly afterwards.

  This happened to me once.

  I forgot I had contraband on me and jumped to New Atlantis. I got scanned and asked to hand it over, so I just jumped out to The Den to sell the Contraband.

  Add soon as I got there security started shooting me.

  Had to load a previous save.

  It’s things like this that make me glad that my email service defaults to not loading any images/links/html. There’s a small button at the top to load them if I want.

  Yes, I remember that! I recall thinking, imagine how good this will get in the future. Sadly it didn’t.

  Exactly the same in Australia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨20 Years Ago, Millennials Found Themselves ‘Lost in Translation’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I really liked the movie and it’s hard to describe exactly why.

  It’s not an amazing story, or amazing characters, it’s not exciting…but it has a certain vibe/mood to it that I liked.

  I was also a bit fascinated by Japan, so that’s part of it. Got to visit a couple of times in the years after seeing the movie and whenever I’ve been in a Tokyo hotel room it’s reminded me of the film!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Weekly thread] What is the best movie you watched last week? 9 September⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s on my to watch list.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Internet boards and Forums dead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, they are less prevalent due to Reddit and other social media sucking up a lot of the users.

  They are still around though. One Australian forum that I’ve been on for years which is still very active is Whirlpool. Started as a tech forum and expanded. It’s very useful as source of info as it’s been around over 20 years and a lot of questions have been asked and answered there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Weekly thread] What is the best movie you watched last week? 9 September⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I watched Amsterdam, a 2022 comedy/mystery set in the 1930s, starring Margot Robbie and Christian Bale and a big cast of others including Mike Myers, Rami Malek, Robert De Niro and Chris Rock.

  It is loosely based on The Business Plot, an actual political conspiracy in the US in the 1930s. I’d never heard of this before.

  It was an interesting and ‘different than the usual’ type of movie. A lot of the focus was on the witty dialogue between characters. Pretty nice movie visually too. Overall I enjoyed it and would give it about 7/10.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m spending way more time!

  I didn’t really like the community in Reddit that much. I used it more like a news feed. So I never read ‘all’, I just read my subs for a few minutes here and there, but I didn’t post and comment much.

  Since coming here I post and comment a lot more. There seems to be more proper discussion here, despite being much smaller and quieter.

  Wait - this changes everything!!

  Yeah, I’m only keeping it because of the grandfathered deal. If they scrap that I’ll just cancel and save the money. Better in my pocket than Google’s!
