I'm not here for celebrities and they will always flock to centralized platforms anyways, since they are all about the views.

Yeah I thought it would be like that awesome trailer back in the day.

Sailing is so much better than managing when to stop and continue payment for the dozens of streaming services.

I wish there would be more Edgerunners type releases where it's a companion piece rather than a direct adaptation which allows for way more creative freedom and less burden of being compared.

I enjoyed memes back in the forum days because they weren't frequent with it being more discussion base, so when they showed up it'd have a tendency to actually be funny. But, move towards generating meme content quickly diluted the experience of memes with forcing of memes.

I never tried anything other than old.reddit.com. And I'll never try the dreadful reddit app. Redesign has always been trash and terrible at loading content and pushes trash topics at users.

Current system seems like capitalists dream of underpaying employees as much as possible and having the narrative pass the blame to be between customers and workers.

And even better that workers will argue against actually being guaranteed a higher salary in favor of this system on the off chance they might get more. Sort of like gamblers who get off the high of that one big win. Either way, the shift away from having to pay full salaries and benefits is cause for celebration for owners, since they love that it's more likely they don't get blamed and instead the customer when the owner has enough money to take home profits and live well instead of struggling like their employees being paid the bare minimum.

It's pretty much the absolute ideal situation for them. No blame and lower expenses. And most wonderful part of it all is workers being expected to cover the salaries of other workers as opposed to the people at top, so they continue to win in every facet.

With the state of games at launch how many are there that you'd want the unpatched version.

Also there is Jedi Survivor

Same I know him from The Boys and never thought of him as the nepo baby, but now I'll always be reminded of that. Didn't know he was Meg Ryan's kid either.

I would be grateful to be in a position to be called a nepo baby. That means my life is pretty good and I wouldn't want to struggle unnecessarily if I don't have to.

Depends on the industry. Degree based ones like medicine or accounting and or trades are easier to get into the industry to make a comfortable living for the average perdon. Now upper tier is another matter, and that does heavily benefit from relationships if going for like high management level positions.

But, the art and performance based ones like movies and music is one where relationship definitely is heavily shifted to being important, and talent and work ethic guarantees nothing. And financial security is very unstable and hard to attain for the average person to grind it out, so every advantage matters to even be considered for a job that could end up being stable.

So nepotism doesn't discount their talent or hard work, but there's no need downplay the role it played to even get a shot.

If I were him only thing worse than being called a nepo baby would be my mom coming out publicly to tell people not to call me a nepo baby. That's like further drawing anything to the issue and as embarrassing as a student would be of their parents loudly telling everyone in school to not be bullies.

 

Would help with finding new communities, and not having to do the URL search thing before subscribing to something new

 

I have one connected to my Television, but it's a hassle for games to unhook for games I want to play on the monitor for better latency like rhythm games.

I had heard of some third party ones potentially damaging switches back in the day, and wondered if they have improved since then.

 

I will miss it.

 

Like what there is for dolphin, but should be more straightforward with everyone having the same specs.

 

This is how live action anime adaptations should be done.

 

✨NEW✨ Sister Kbin community: https://fedia.io/m/firefox ⭐ r/Firefox is protesting Reddit, and is DOWN, but you can join our sister Kbin community. ⭐ Official Matrix room for the r/firefox community on reddit. The latest news and developments on Firefox and Mozilla, a global non-profit that strives to promote openness, innovation and opportunity on the web.

Firefox has a link that goes to their sister kbin community, but you don't see it until you click chat with us. So I don't think lot of people knew /r/firefox has gotten set up on the fediverse.

 

Default active showed too many old posts in the feed that never disappeared.

Hot was a little better, but still put too much weight on upvotes and comments leading to several day old posts showing up consistently despite all the communities I had subscribed to.

So what I've settled on for now has been new and top day, which has now been showing more new content instead of posts being buried.

 

SSD drives have been getting cheaper, so been looking into it.

 

Something I found is that while you can see activity of local communities in your instance like for example a lemmy.world user on lemmy.world. If they go somewhere else like lemmy.world/c/[email protected] that's pretty much all you'll be aware of aside from what someone from lemmy.world pull so it shows up on /c/all

You have to tab open and see lemmy.one to get the picture of the instance as a whole to see what is the activity local to it.

This makes it harder to find new communities and also for new communities to grow. And doesn't help that when you view a community for the first time after someone subscribed for the first time it doesn't pull all the comments, so it looks like there's no activity.

So it would be nice if there was a quick toggle to do a view from your instance and then a view from the instance the content actually originated on.

Example

https://fedia.io/m/firefox/t/23494/When-did-you-start-using-Firefox-Did-you-leave-at

https://lemmy.world/post/303626?

Wanted to also mention fedia.io/m/firefox is the sister Kbin community to /r/firefox

Any Android apps that are recommended? And are there instance types for making Matrix too, and if so any that are recommended?

 

Even if it doesn't automatically resubscribe you I'm guessing lot of people as they use lemmy or kbin will be moving around from instances a lot.

So being able to keep track of which communities to resubscribe to would be really convenient to have.
