It's only been an year? I feel like that time was ages ago!

Yeah, all my bad experiences with Firefox from back in the day were completely gone when I switched back to it a couple of years ago.

At some point 15-20 years ago Firefox was becoming a resource hog and I switched to chrome. I switched back a number of years ago and regret not switching back earlier.

Same, but I sadly upgraded to the latest Android version because of a boot loop and things are not as snappy as they used to be. Also hangs sometimes.

I posted 2 months ago that I have no burn in. Well, I do have some from the top info bar - clock, battery level, notifications. Seems like I had never noticed?

But you're paying for a service that uses you as a product. You are paying twice.

What an American problem. 😂

New to ST, which show are the frames from?

Probably talking about new IPs? Studios are pretty risk averse nowadays.

Yes, but it's been more than 6 months since I've written in mine. I used it mainly to document my life and deal with mental issues. The past six months have been mostly daily struggles and ordinary life so I've had no incentive to go back and journal. I should fix this, grab the keyboard and resume!

BG3 is the only game in my life I've bought at launch. No regrets. This studio definitely deserves the full price tag. I've experienced like 5 bugs throughout my 130 hours of playing. I came from a poorer country and still made sense to me to vote with my wallet what games should be striving to look like on launch.

BG3 is the only game I've bought at launch price in my life. No regrets, what an amazing job from Larian.

Opening the door before the timer hits 00:00 actually shortens the lifespan of your appliance. Watched a video on it by a repairman.

A lot of non-native speakers can show higher command of the language, because they took the time to study its rules. Just look at how people type on social media.

Reddit's street photography subreddit wasn't that great to be honest. I'm trying to curate a street photography community here, but it is a slow process. !streetphotography@lemmy.world .

But I agree, I still go back for some niche content like the editors' subreddit.

No problem, hope you enjoy!

I didn't even get that far. Hopped on the ship, explored a bit of the starting planet, then the closest bodies and couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be doing. I get that the idea is to research the mystery behind the ancient texts, but I wasn't really feeling compelled to.

Yes! Becky Chambers is a really interesting one. Her series Wayfarers is really different to most stuff I've read.

I also read Octavia E. Butler's Kindred, which was amazing. Wholeheartedly recommend it.

It always strikes me how few female sci-fi and fantasy writers I've read. I've tried amending that mistake over the last couple of years but it's not easy, especially when looking for books translated into more obscure languages.

I am of the opinion that cameras don't really matter, beyond a certain technological level. Does it take pictures? Then it's a camera, capable enough to use. There was a quote in Michael Freeman's book on visual photographic literacy that I found quite interesting. He wrote that only ameteur photographers obsess over camera technology and settings.

So you're more than welcome to post on there!
