What are some valid criticisms of Lemmy do you hear from people who tried out the platform?
  • Is Jerboa official? I used it at the start but it seemed to just stop getting developed. Myself and plenty of others have since moved on to other 3rd party apps. I'm using Voyager now.

    Earbuds
  • Really? From personal experience it's completely the opposite. Almost everyone I see wearing earbuds are wearing wireless ones and it's not just Apple users with their air pods, it's android as well.

    You've got to move house at least 150 miles away from there you currently live. Where would you choose?
  • Seeing as I live in the north east my options seem to be either north of Aberdeen or south of Birmingham. I'm going to say Bristol. I've never visited but it seems to have a nice reputation.

    2024 could be world’s hottest year as June breaks records
  • Other places must've been hot as hell as in the UK we actually had a slightly cooler June than normal compared to the average. The world climate is well and truly fucked then.

    Using ad blockers is theft
  • I think I'd be ok with removing my ad blocker if ads were simple and non intrusive and creators actually got a decent chunk of the ad revenue. The reason I use it however is that most websites have proven that if you give them an inch they'll take a mile. So many websites now have so many ads that the actual content is barely visible through the mid-page ads, auto play videos, popups and banners. And that's not even mentioning the tracking and cookies they now request/use. The internet has become unusable without an ad blocker. If I want to support someone's content I'd rather use whatever donation method they have set up.

    PC Gaming Is Growing Faster Than Consoles, Data Shows
  • Not surprising to me given my own personal experience. I only really use my PS5 for exclusives now and there haven't been many of those being released recently that I've been interested in. Plus new playstation games are expensive which has made me a more patient gamer. So if a non-exclusive game interests me it's probably going to be cheaper on Steam. I used to be more of a console gamer but these days if you have a decent pc there isn't much that a console can offer over a pc.

    Sisyphean
  • I've only been wearing glasses for a few months and only when I'm in front of a pc screen. How on earth does anyone keep them clean?

    Spotify Wrapped 2023 is out, what's your top artist and top song for the year?
  • Bit of a mixed bag. Arctic monkeys and fall out boy makes sense as top 2. I think my music taste varies wildly enough that Katy Perry and P!nk must have just sneaked in there over other artists.

    Starfield QOL + more Wishlist
  • A big catalogue of everything I've scanned. We're part of constellation and we go around scanning everything so it makes sense that we'd build up a catalogue of systems, planets, moons, and everything on them.

    I'd like a kind of draft mode or 'save as draft' option when building a ship. Sometimes Im not quite happy with a design and I want to come back to it later. But currently the only options seem to be cancel the whole design or make it pass the flight checks.

    How many people actually dropped Reddit for Lemmy?
  • I use both Reddit and Lemmy now. I used to use RiF on mobile but now Reddit for me is pc only. Liftoff for Lemmy has taken over that spot on my phone now. The main reason I haven't been able to completely switch is just the lack of some of my favourite sub Reddits switching over to Lemmy. The Lemmy communities exist but they're lacking numbers.

    What phone do you have, and what'll it take for you to upgrade to Pixel 8?
  • I have a pixel 3a. I've had a few issues with it recently that have been resolved so I'm still managing fine with it. If they get any worse or more frequent then I'll upgrade to a new phone. I really like my pixel 3a so I'll probably get whatever the newest model is when it's time to upgrade whether it's the 8, 8a or even the 9.

    Are you holding off on any game in particular right now?
  • I'm still waiting on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor to go on sale. I refuse to pay full price, months after release, for a game that seemed to have a few performance issues on release, plus it's an EA game. I also have a bit of a backlog of games I'm still playing, so I'm in no rush to buy a new game at the moment.

    Compared to fountain pens and ballpoints, "Sharpies" are actually the least sharp pen type.
  • Just because you wouldn't use a Sharpie in those instances doesn't mean it's not a pen. It has other uses. Writing a sign for a shop window, creating a poster by hand, or creating a protest sign. It's used basically anywhere where the text needs to be large, clear, and visible from a distance.

    Spotify: "Adjusting Our Spotify Premium Prices"
  • Sounds like smart shuffle might be enabled. I've never had an issue with Spotify adding songs it thinks I might like when I use the normal shuffle mode.
