  • I'd focus on the management and the philosophy of the community, rather than on the hardware/software.

    I feel that we have more than enough technical solutions that are either perfect, or adequate enough. At the same time, as proven by the Linux/FOSS/Open Source movements time and time again, it's the approach that is wrong.

    tl;dr: the problem does not lie in the screwdriver, but in the way it is handled and task it's been applied to.

  • If there's a rest button somewhere there, use it.

    Also, check whether it gets proper amount of power - that the electrical plug fits in, doesn't mean the charger is enough to power it up.

    If it fails, then I guess it's time to replace the hardware.

  • I see nothing on the video, so can't comment on that, but could you test the switch by connecting a router to the 1st port and a notebook to every other port one by one, to check whether the devices talk to each other?

    I assume that the router acts as DHCP server, and the notebook is set to DHCP address lease, so no additional configuration is needed...

  • The entire showerthought must be in the title

  • The design of this website resembles times and mentality contemporary to Netscape Navigator and Altavista.

    ...but the suggestions are good. Absolutely worth reading.

  • Thanks, Morgan, but I had trouble finding whether the game is on- or offline, then when I found the button to launch it, conveniently moved to the far right, for absolutely no reason, it began to download some assets and then it asked me to login with either Polygon or Near, of which I own neither, then it turned out that Near is a wallet...

    Perhaps slowing down with your futurism would be worth consideration? 😎

  • That'd be a specific vintage porn movie, one that I'm so very fond of to these days. 🧐

  • Aye.

    This is both a blessing and a curse. Already there are some... less welcome, Reddit behaviors visible here. I'd rather people leave their old baggage at the doorstep, heh. 😬

  • But that's the point I'm making here. Facebook didn't fall and Reddit won't either. It's going to evolve, cater to different clientele, offer different content/experience. But it won't fall.

  • Amen to that.

    I don't imagine staying on some site that resembles a drowning wreck, because "I got used to how things work here".

  • I don't think Reddit will fall, sadly.

    It harbors too many people, who go there for a specific content and don't care about the internal dramas, or who leads the place and what he thinks about the userbase. In addition... Eh, it hosted Obama, Arnold, plenty of actors, celebrities.

    My assumption is that it will simply evolve into something different, but no less popular.

    After all, Facebook was caught redhanded on such abominable practices that it should be burnt to a crisp long time ago, and yet it's still there, led by that automaton, what'shisname...

  • I doubt it - too many people with different preferences they aren't willing to let go, I'm afraid.

    If you're asking me, it's "good enough" the way it is. I'd gladly have some more content filters, but even without them I perceive it as a platform with enough potential to consider it good.

  • Well, to keep a user is way harder than to attract his attention.

    I think that the key differences between this platform(s) and the more known alternatives are part of the problem - people are very dumb these days and lazy. Often the first reaction to something new and not working in the expected way is to skip it, or demand the solution, rather than look around, try different approach and such.

    I feel like I'm witnessing Diaspora 2.0 effect...

  • It is - accessing a social site via desktop or app has been as old, as Facebook.

    ...but feel free to claim that the rock you've been hiding under for the last 10 or 20 years isn't real... 😎

  • No clue, never used an app to browse such sites.

    Still, I don't see why they shouldn't be visible, if you browse same site/same content on the app.

  • Do it, then. There's CREATE COMMUNITY button above your thread.
