Good breakdown. I might end up using it on my next desktop

You had ONE job Dyson 😂

Is this issue still ongoing? I’ve had various threads that I’ve had issues accessing via Jerboa and the pwa on my Chromebook. Can’t figure out if it’s a Lemmy-wide issue or instance-specific… from 404 issues to the website hanging when I submit a post along with pages that only load the header

Second gen. Pixel Watch. Not expecting anything groundbreaking tbh, but skipped the first one and have $$$ burning a hole in my pocket.

Similar content as r/Chicago. Also maybe make a mention of the forum in the comments of one of the main midwest.social welcome posts to attract more eyeballs as people first venture into Lemmy…

We are the most populated city in the midwest, and stand to have the largest userbase but the lack of content means our channel is harder to find, which becomes is a self-reinforcing issue.

I think the cycling community is predisposed to Lemmy based on the worldview of the average cyclist (read:not all)

Same. I always liked the app, but was recently blown away w/ how intuitive and clean their Android tablet interface was

Great concept.

I used Bard to get a better context for the ‘new CEO’ for Twitter. I treated the interaction w/ a more conversational tone and basically vented to the bot about the current state of Twitter (and the Republican party) while making predictions about the future of Twitter.

The bot managed to amalgamate historical context, news that I shared about new CEO hire, and my personal prediction of the future, to respond with a (non-committal but interesting) response about whether the Twitter ship will be righted.

Taking past, present and future contexts to engage in a convo kinda blew my mind when I looked back at it.

It’s a smart feature. If only they could stop recommending me 10 articles/day on Twitter/Musk that I always downvote.

I’ve tuned out of the constant trickle of news re: the former president, but this feels like it could have legs and really make it an open & shut case if/when he’s prosecuted 🤞🏾

I’d say like-minded people is #1 and lots of engagement is #2 (with the catch-22 that if there’s a lack of engagement, then it doesn’t provide the opportunity to meet like-minded people).

I think that once the bare minimum of engagement is achieved though, #1 becomes vastly more important.

For example I’d rather have a thread w/ 20 comments and 80% of the comments are meaningful to me, versus a thread w/ 1,000 comments and 20% of the people have responses that I like. Although the 2nd thread has more meaningful comments overall, I have to sift through a lot of noise to get there.

That’s part of the reason I’m optimistic about lemmy and how it has self-selected similiarly-minded people currently.

Loop Habit Tracker pairs nicely with Atomic Habits or any other foray into productivity.

Stellar stat-tracking and usability. It’s twice as great when you look at the alternatives and see mostly month-to-month subscriptions for similar features

As long as it’s worse than the Bears, I’m a happy camper.

Disabled it a long time ago. Once Windows 11 gets deeper AI integration, that will be a larger differentiating factor between it and Windows 10 tho. Might convince me to finally pull the trigger

Ahhh I was wondering why Lemmur didn’t recognize my instance

Same. I like that it’s on F-Droid too

Good to see the word being spread and I’m hoping the open-source alternatives are gearing up for the coming weeks

It’s a great read but a lot to books! Enjoy!
