What brought you to Lemmy?

Jump

  • spez

    • Are you cancelling streaming services?

    Jump

  • Would creating a new Google account work? You would need to start new but there should be no risk of losing Gmail access.

    This is btw the reason I keep my emails and passwords separate from any other services. Too much can go wrong, even accidentally.

    • Are you cancelling streaming services?

    Jump

  • I’ve been cutting down and only keep the ones I actually watch. I had a constant Netflix subscription since 2014 but a month ago I cancelled it. Will resubscribe temporary once enough shows pile up that I’m interested in (which might take a while).

    Since Futurama is done, I’ll probably cancel Disney now.

    Youtube Premium is the one I will keep for longer because I watch it all the time and I’m splitting the costs with family.

    • How many showers do you take a day?

    Jump

  • I shower once every 2 days or if I am sweaty.

    • What was the time a pet showed some serious signs of intelligence?

    Jump

  • I was impressed when my shepherd-mix carried a trashcan with chicken leftovers to me, because he couldn’t open it but I could. He didn’t get his wish though.

    • If you had access to a scifi-level artificial super intelligence that could simulate anything perfectly at unimaginable speeds, what experiments would you want to run that would be unethical otherwise

    Jump

  • I'd simulate myself working while I watch TV.

    • what small physical gift would you give your past self?

    Jump

  • Can it be my past self from a few days ago? Because I wouldn't want to give my young self any lottery numbers. That Past-Me would become a lazy ass with no values who never learns anything or knows what life is like. Now-Me would appreciate it much more.

    • What is a good graphic design app for MacOS?

    Jump

  • Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo are the best solutions in my opinion, especially for someone used to Adobe products. One-time payment, bundle available. Look out for discounts if it's not urgent. I got the bundle for almost half the price in January.

    Pixelmator Pro is a great, much cheaper alternative but I never really got used to the interface.

    • macOS Sonoma Launching This Week With These New Features

    Jump

  • The grouping is shit and in my opinion makes the list harder to parse. But it’s optional so no harm.

    • What’s the funniest internet argument you’ve ever read?

    Jump

  • It’s like math.

    • What’s the funniest internet argument you’ve ever read?

    Jump

  • Maybe every other week has no Sundays at all.

    • What is a story from the internet that will remain in your mind forever?

    Jump

  • Cum box

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • With „code“ very often just being HTML source of some random site the effects people found.

    • What Lemmy Client(s) Do You Use?

    Jump

  • Was first using Memmy but it felt unfinished and abandoned. Then I switched to Bean. It’s much better but still needs a lot of work. I was not aware there are so many Lemmy clients already. I’m trying Voyager now and it seems very good. As a former Apollo user I feel right at home.

    • What's the closest you have ever been to actually dying?

    Jump

  • Had the opportunity to fly in a small vintage airplane (not sure what kind). It was awesome but the following day we got information that the next flight crashed and all passengers died.

    • Atheists, is there anything religious that sticks with you to this day?

    Jump

  • Still love me some good Gospel music.

    • When was the last time you cried?

    Jump

  • Happy cry: I watched Coda for the second time.

    Sad cry: when I put my dog down.

    • Do you pirate? And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy?

    Jump

  • I pirate when getting a copy of something is otherwise too inconvenient and/or ridiculously overpriced and I REALLY need to watch it. I used to pirate basically everything. Nowadays very often I will wait for and then rent a movie on iTunes because that is the most convenient way and the price is fine. My FOMO is not as strong anymore. I also rarely watch any series that is not on a streaming service.

    • What's a great but uncommon comedy movie we should watch?

    Jump

  • Swiss Army Man!

    • What's something that you were surprised to find out a lot of people hate?

    Jump

  • VR headsets with an external battery pack and/or other heavy components on a cable to put in the pocket (as is now a feature of the Apple Vision Pro).

    The first time I tried any VR headset I immediately thought why on earth do they not put all the heavy lifting electronics out of this device into my pocket. That would be way more comfortable. But for some reason it was never done and when it was rumored that the Apple headset would do that I noticed people apparently hated the idea. Everyone keeps saying modern headsets are well balanced it’s not a problem, but my experience is different and it’s one of the reasons for me why I don’t like to use it often.

    My current headset is the PS VR2 which everyone says is so comfortable and balanced. I just find it annoying after a few minutes.
