There was a time when the Google apps just worked, the applications were optimised for UX. Maybe I’ve just only noticed it now but the directions (and assistant in general) aren’t as useful, reliable, and filled with sponsored stuff.

what do you use for navigation and how does it compare?

Fair point, I’m somewhat skeptical and don’t want my favourite artists jumping from app to app (they already have to deal with so many platforms). I can see why so many moved to that platform since I’m unaware of any activitypub applications that protects against data harvesting. Personally, enjoying Cara far more than Instagram since I mainly used it to follow artists.

What I can readily see happening is when these “AI regulations” get introduced and Cara begins allowing AI-gen art on their platform, this will further divide and fragment. I hope I’m wrong.

I’m genuinely curious why? I read a little bit about Cara and sure it sounds nice but what’s particularly stopping them from pulling the same move as Meta in the future?

From the article.

The creators expect the wooden material will burn up completely when the device re-enters the atmosphere—potentially providing a way to avoid the generation of metal particles when a retired satellite returns to Earth.

These metal particles could have a negative impact on the environment and telecommunications, the developers said as they announced the satellite’s completion on Tuesday.

be warned, it’ll give you unearned optimism about how responsible you are to revisit the tabs you saved but will never see the light of day again.

After the following years, I’ve quietly taken the whole “this is when we diverged into the darkest timeline” schtick an iota more seriously. It’s been a strange 8 years.

but because Kevin Conroy, I got it anyways.

Corporate greed ruins yet another thing I love.

I admire the late Conroy as much as the next guy but my brother in christ this mindset is exactly what fuels this level of quality by directly justifying it via your purchase.

You can’t solely blame these corporation if you continue to behave in ways that to support and incentivises them to utilise these strategies.

Made me have a healthier relationship with social media, my smartphone usage, and overall thinking. I almost exclusively used RiF and curated it enough that I could readily get lost in it for hours in threads and/or following drama.

I knew what I liked about reddit was the mods, the 3rd party apps, and the communities, and the company behind the website was the least appealing ineffectual part of the experience. They were slow in every sense of the word and consistently made out-of-touch decisions.

Lemmy was a great transition point for me. At first I was trying to treat it as a clone. Instead, I found a place (and the fediverse in general) where there wasn’t a mass amount of resources spent to keeping me engaged - it’s just content of the day, no strings attached.

I found a space that was indifferent to the amount of time I spent on it, passionate communities that were more responsive and literate, and just felt more respected as a person.

fixed and thanks!

It’s going to be weaker in caffeine content but still stronger tasting. This is ideal if you are trying to reduce daily caffeine intake or just like the taste of strong coffee.

Some people still need a kick of espresso but don’t want/need 3 shots worth in a single drink.

literally all fighting games. started with smash, loved to sf4, then dbfz. sucked hard but still f opening fgc content to this day - planning to buy sf6 when i get the chance/time

Nah it’s not just you. Anytime I decide to start a radio while working, half the time I discover absolute bangers that I add to my playlists that balances between matching the vibe and distinct - which isn’t as easy as it seems.

similar thing happened to me. i think it’s important to remember it’s literally easier to can’t do something than choose not to do something.

thanks for posting here. I have no idea who the venkman01 is but the way they worded that post is borderline cringe
