Love Linux but that's mostly steam deck pumping up numbers. Look at year over year desktop usage and it's not spiking even though it would be cool if it did.

Yes! Absolutely loved this movie and felt like it was showing me and my parents.

There's nothing wrong with being smart. It's the smugness that is annoying and that's what this whole thing is about.

If you aren't one of those people than that's great and you shouldn't be bullied.

Hey he's not a professional quote maker

For me the meme is that most of these are the very tip of the philosophy and thinking iceberg. And that's fine. What's not fine is taking those basic concepts and trying to use them as defeaters for everything. I think this is what it's poking fun at.

While some of it seems reasonable the very first thing they point out is that users want to visit without paying, aka ad block. Feels like a wolf in sheeps clothing.

No tech literacy is nice but the user experience of communities when first joining Lemmy needs a lot of work.

First you have to choose an instance and no context is given. What's the difference between x, y, and z? It's federated so it seems easy to dismiss but we're asking users to choose something with no help at all before doing anything else.

If commenters link directly to a community and don't use a shared link, it is very confusing why it looks like you are signed out and can't subscribe. This took me a bit to figure out and I have to either manually adjust the url to fit my instance or search for it which can be unreliable.

Duplicate community names across multiple instances is also confusing, although I welcome the multiple choice nature of it. But to a new user it can be confusing as to which is the "right" choice. Content moderation varies across the instances too.

I love Lemmy and once I figured it out I found it pretty easy. But let's stop pretending that this site is so easy to use. There are quite a few user experiences that could be smoothed out with just a little bit of help text or additional context.

Or I could install Voyager and have a better user experience in 5 seconds. I love Firefox but the mobile experience is highly dependent on the care a site puts into their mobile site.

We didn't do the CD ones but we did the Encyclopedia one. It was helpful pre world wide web.

I haven't seen this in a long time. Classic.

It works when you close the window, with the exception of Mac which requires you to fully quit, just like any other Mac application.

Maybe I'm crazy but they did teach me this in school. "This means so this operation until conditions are met".

This is literally the same as me. I'm trying to contribute to niche communities here to help drive engagement.

Fully support this. This has been a fun nostalgia trip!

Yeah the size is frustrating. I asked for an easy way to find image upload limits on my home instance and was met with thunderous silence. I had to keep compressing further and further until I finally found a size it liked.

If you'd like help I could volunteer some time. I'd be active in spurts though, I couldn't be checking throughout the whole day.

Wow you just made it so much easier to permanently switch. I have my work set to DDG but have to switch to Google pretty often for more obscure things. Now I should be able to set it permanently using bangs.

Hello there

It’s a subreddit for the feeling you get when you’re feeling lonely but at peace, thoughtful but melancholy, and homesick for something you can’t quite remember.

I love this thank you, I will start submitting content! I have a super small favor to ask, can you add the rest of the description? The second part was "It’s a community for the feeling you get when you’re feeling lonely but at peace, thoughtful but melancholy, and homesick for something you can’t quite remember.". Something about that second part really hits home for me.
