So this dude can only hate Elon if he sells the car he already paid Tesla for?

The stenographer for our local zoning & planning board still uses a XP netbook. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw it

Honestly, a massive one for me is not letting myself get angry at a game I can’t hope to understand or master at a highly competitive level. I do a lot better at recognizing these days when I am intellectually or physically incapable of getting better quickly at a game - my mind shifts these activities outside of a competitive mindset and more to a leisure mindset.

When I’m not trying to actively compete against others to a point of pride, suddenly I’m a lot more receptive to incremental growth at my own pace

I’m fully aligned here. I’m at the point where I lurk every day, but I remain wishing the niche communities were around. Obviously, I should be contributing myself, but…

The US - with obvious exceptions, photos of students can be designated by a district as directory information (which many do, hence opt outs being common)

It’s opt-out in a lot of districts now

I lurk but Reddit is completely dead to me. I haven’t used it more than once or twice since the API change

Haha, I’m right there with you. I’m off Twitter & Reddit, I had no alternatives until Sync came back…

Exactly. The other end of it is that a lot of the app-specific advanced functionality made the transition for Day 1 - unless Infinity/else has some tricks i’m unaware of, its currently the most customizable/feature complete app - actual tablet modes, foldable support, biometrics for subaccounts, user painting/tagging for sub accounts, profile backups so you can carry customizations to other android devices - etc.

Its all auxiliary & definitely not required, but losing these features made Lemmy a no-go on mobile for me. It’s also missing some real basic stuff like mod tools & the ability to make posts at all, but i’ve used the app for a decade & the dev is quickly pushing fixes/new features out the door.

Hell yeah. Special shout-out to Sync for Lemmy for reeling me back in as a daily user.

You’ve GOT to give
