I got put into Youtube Premium when Google Play Music merged, so I think of it as equivalent to Spotify premium, but also: you can also upload your own music library, you get ads removed on Youtube videos, and offline play for both music and videos.
It's decently worth it if you reference Spotify Premium's cost (and also I've been at 9.99USD/mo this whole time and not been hit with any price increases at all for some reason?)
I've got an account on a small Mastodon instance that a friend owns (migrated to there from the big mastodon.social instance). That's pretty much it! @reil@oliphaunt.social! It's named after a silly design pun where I reshaped the onlyfans logo into a more mastodon-y oliphaunt.
It'll happen if Lemmy gets big enough. I only worry about search engines getting tangled in the natural duplication of Lemmy posts.
Like, if a web crawler sees a Beehaw post, and then seees Lemmy.ml's mirrored page of that same post, could it just show up as two different results? Could it work against the SEO in that it gets marked as "duplicate" or "spam" content in some way?
League of Legends is toxic in the way of people getting too emotionally invested in a game, but Counterstrike (in the old days, pre Source and GO) was toxic in a casually bigoted way almost completely detached from the state of the current match, which I think is worse.
There are several servers, personal and professional, that I interact with entirely over SSH consoles. Lots of gnu screen, vi, bash scripts.
It's fine for the kind of tasks I'm doing with them (light coding, building, executing scripts, moving around files), but I wouldn't call it very fun or useful outside of that. I haven't tried like, opening e-mails (modern e-mails are like 95% images nowadays) and looking at non-plaintext documents is a no-go, too, so no PDFs in any meaningful capacity. No working with like, most webpages that aren't static text.
I guess if you're trying to use computers a lot less, rather than do all the things you could do before but in a terminal, that's good? But if you're looking to power your way through all the stuff a graphical environment could do, but in terminal, you're not gonna get anywhere.
I guess I gotta start looking at self-hosted aggregator solutions. I hope one of them has per-podcast playback speed settings/autoskip capabilities. I use the heck out of those.
Oooh yeah this was it. I had previously selected a few, but at some point trying to fix it, I clicked instead of ctrl+clicked and it deselected everything else.
Been on Reddit since 2010. I'm hoping that Lemmy and other Fediverse apps sort of grow out of the meta-talk and comparisons to their centralized counterparts.
Otherwise, the communities themselves seem pleasant (or swiftly defederated from by the good ones). We don't quite the critical mass to get active niche communities, or hyper-specialized ones yet, which I kind of miss. Stuff like "here's a subreddit for each of these very specific habits that cats can have", or "talk about a particular species of parrot", y'know?

The instance I wanted to join was Lemmy. That's pretty much it.
