Caught by the Jaffa’s
I have converted over to Linux for a huge portion of my work flow but there is still the 20% I either can’t efficiently replicate or there is just not the software I need.
Where possible I choose to work outside of Microsoft, Google and Apple but to keep a roof over one’s head, I must endure too.
Yes… Melted on anything…
Literally have not been back since I decided to leave before the blackout.
Considering incised to spen hours a day s rolling that place, I haven’t missed it and just moved on. 12years or more I was a regular contributor and viewer and quit cold turkey style :)
It’s good to know I’m not alone… I buy a lot of games and have a huge catalogue over a number of systems. It really is the thing I enjoy most as downtime.
However, I can count on one hand how many title screens I have seen over the last 5 years. I get so far, lose interest, move on. Several months later I will feel like playing again, wipe the save and start over rinse and repeat.
Games that keep calling me back however are Skyrim, Fallout 4 and the Bioshock trilogy.
Kudos… It’s very much appreciated and a refreshing change to not be let down by something you enjoy online.
Gerally it’s decent… I don’t use it anywhere near as much as I used Reddit but I’m not sorry to see the back of that place.
It can be a little buggy sometimes, responses dont post or further posts fail to load. I think the lack of consistency is whynim using it less at the moment but overall, happy chappy :)

The older I get, the more I fucking hate obnoxiously loud cars… It was like a switch that went off in my head when I hit the 35-40yrs old mark.
Pumping base tunes from said vehicle is additional hate.
I have never understood people’s lack of ability to just move on.
Don’t like something, like seriously just move on, don’t like a post / comment, move on rinse and repeat.
You’re not going to like everything and you’re not going to agree with everyone, and you know what… That’s alright, it’s being human !
That a Welsh username by chance?
And yea, thoroughly depressing… I find the situation similar to the old micro transaction / shit game port situation where the masses couldn’t care less and the small minority rebel and have little to no effect.
Sadly those that care about these things are generally grossly outweighed by those that couldn’t give a toss. I haven’t been back to Reddit for 4-5 weeks now and as a very early Reddit adopter I thought the break would be harder than what it has been. I have mentioned in a few posts here that the most surprisong thing to me is how often I was being served subtle ads guised in the form of content on Reddit. In 4 weeks or more I don’t think I have seen a brand as such mentioned on Lemmy yet with Reddit it was legit every dozen posts. I knew this went on, but it took a week or so on Lemmy for me to realise the actual extent of it…
Good riddance to the place, Lemmy feels like the early doors of the internet and I’m quite comfortable here :)
It’s crazy that some people in these enormous subs pretty much run moderation as a full time job for nothing. Like I totally understand hobbies or contributing to something for the greater good, even I contribute where I can in the open source arena! But to religiously undertake a role like this daily just for the title of MOD is insane to me…
I don’t have an answer but I’m also quite interested to find out what kind of server specs are we talking to get off the ground? Would love to hear from someone that has recently started their own…
Ha ha… Someone internally really needs to be like “dude, seriously shut up at this point you’re just making it worse” .
There is nothing more amusing than someone with an enormouse ego making a complete cluster fuck of a situation.
Completely agree… I see so many posts with “I would like this feature from Reddit etc.” But honestly, it’s quite refreshing to have something different.
The API changes were just the straw that broke the camel for me as after 13 years plus on the platform, it didn’t even resemble what I initially signed up for.
I legit hope Lemmy doesn’t turn in to a Reddit 2.0 where every reply to question is someone trying to be a smart ass and where not conforming to the ideology of the masses gets you nuked.
I too remember the days of IRC and I remember sitting in certain channels where we would all take turns in staying silent and allowing someone on the chat to hit the record voice and play a Jazz song they loved. I would sit there all night listening to and sharing music with people from all over the world drinking beers and chatting among ourselves.
Man, the early days of work arounds and early internet I miss. Every night of surfing was seriously exciting as you never knew what you would stumble on or find. Now it’s the same dozen websites over and over rinse and repeat.
Anyhow, nostalgia and gripe over… I agree 100%.
I’m really enjoying Lemmy as is and don’t want to be wishing it away any time soon !
Given the general state of AAA releases this generation, that’s pretty safe money.
They should have by then patched it enough so it plays like it should have on day one and you snag it for half the price.
Patient gaming is the way !
Honestly, I’m really enjoying it and no regrets on making the switch.
Initially took a few moments for the penny to drop with the regards to the different instances etc. But using the Jerboa app is not a million miles away from the app I used to use for Reddit (Boost).
Just incredibly glad to have an alternative.
Was finding it a little confusing and wasn’t sure if multiples were required.
Thanks for the explanation, much appreciated ;)
Ha ha… Nice ! Image didn’t load without a click, it was risky but a lot better than what I braved myself for :)
I’m done… Was a user and contributor since the very early days. Out of principle l shall not be returning!
They are good times indeed… Good times…
