• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep for sure. I joined Lemmy long enough ago (other burner account) great posts like these would only have 25 responses or so. Seeing these quality ones hit hundreds of responses is encouraging.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I just want to comment that this is one of the most helpful and full of good info posts I’ve seen on Lemmy in a long while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe Deletes Bluesky Posts After Furious Backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it took me a few moments of learning to get over my old Adobe learned habits, but I’m all accustomed to it now and like it a lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe Deletes Bluesky Posts After Furious Backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Happy user of Affinity Designer here, so great to not be paying Adobe any more subscription fees, screw them.

  Oh my god the flood of beans and denim jeans content was ridiculous, I used Lemmy less for a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Great comment, I don’t have anything to add just wanted to say so.

  Yay Dave! Welcome :-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit could soon punish users for upvoting violent content.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah actually old Reddit founder and another similar dude buying it and refreshing it soon, apparently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How far I'll go to make an RSS feed of your website.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Great article and content, thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare blocking Pale Moon and other browsers with smaller user bases⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for that info, very helpful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exclusive: Microsoft is finally shutting down Skype in May⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that sucks, I use it a lot but I will not use Teams.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eggs sure have gotten cheap! Oh they haven't?...well I'm sure Trump is doing EVERYTHING he can⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The left knew the science, and shouts it all the time. Just like they knew all the time that the president’s ability to affect inflation was limited too, and shouted that all the time as well to no avail. When the right doesn’t listen to logic, they get made fun of with the bare facts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every Country That Has Their Own Lemmy Instance⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Chinese gotta use state-approved and controlled mainstream apps and media, or access foreign stuff via VPN. Homegrown, off the grid stuff like Lemmy only gets by as long as it’s obscure.

  If it’s big enough and ornery (includes political content, rather than say just all cooking recipes and form) it’s liable to be blocked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They gotta get their news out to the masses, at least they choose something besides twitter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow really I never saw that before, sounds crazy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be the change you want to see in Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh interesting to know thank you. I nuked my accounts there so am not doing that, I guess.

  Is that Al Roker? (weatherman dude)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be the change you want to see in Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s another for your list:

  • Use a VPN? Blocked from accessing it. (I try to get info from internet searches sometimes and they block me, I have to use a VPN because am in China.)
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think some servers do that? They definitely try to cater to niches.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I would do this for just 1.99⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I take comfort in knowing that votes on here don’t actually matter much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is why I try not to think EVER⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My version:

  • Plan to always act coolly and rationally
  • React emotionally and sow counterproductive results
  • Repeat

  Barely 50%, and not even, and let’s hope a significant, even if it’s just small it’s significant, percentage didn’t want all the chaos and corruption, that they falsely believed he would be good, and when he isn’t will flip back to being more rational. Let’s hope, and let’s try to convince them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism | Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s super helpful to identify the issue.

  Very cool, you run a great instance, I’ll donate.
