Also managed to be pretty functional while blacking out nearly daily (at my worst), and interestingly enough, the anxiety during the hangovers (which became pretty much any time in between) is also what finally caused me to turn the corner.

give space to your own creativity

This is key. One will inevitably make many different design and UX decisions vs whatever preexisting projects are out there, making one’s project more suited to at least a few contexts than anything preexisting.

In addition to being plain demotivating, looking at other stuff too early basically encourages one to just make the same decisions as others, becoming much more like just a second implementation of what already exists.

Oh hell yes, I was looking for the RES equivalent, and weirdly enough, this is how I found it.

Worse/ bigger than just the board, even; with higher interest rates, investors are wanting more returns immediately, not just DAUs or some kind of proxy for future returns.

This is why all tech companies are becoming shittier and more expensive to the end-user (cf. Netflix cracking down on password sharing, Twitter (to some extent Muskrat’s entry there was a cover for him to dump money from Tesla without raising suspicion; itself necessary due to it struggling with the same issues in a high interest environment), Google’s anti-ad blocker attempts).

Same. Reading manuals and messing with whatever finicky-ass UX they have for adjusting power or whatever other gimmick setting sounds… well… I’ll save that kind of thinking for the rest of my life, where the downside, if I don’t do it, will be more than just cold food.

Avelon is also another that I believe is Swift. It’s smoother than both Lemmy and Mlem, but lacks swipe actions at the moment, which turns out to make it unusable for me.

Hmm true. It does sometimes stop tracking, which is extremely annoying.

Another annoyance (that’s probably not unique to it) is that I’m doing calorie counting, and I’ve found I have to halve the calories it reports to get an accurate number.

Hm, yeah. The comment collapsing, for example, is animated in Mlem, whereas in Memmy it’s a simple disappear/ appear transition.

The latter makes Memmy feel more snappy, even though Mlem’s smooth animation is actually kind of more impressive from a pure performance point of view.

FWIW I have an Inspire 3 and it’s reasonable. It has a chime to find it, Bluetooth seems solid enough, and it’s definitely waterproof as I run it under the sink to wash it every day. Cheap, too, so I don’t really care if it breaks. Small, so not a big, clunky fashion statement or something.

Blood cells are not neurons though, so the extra step of reprogramming them (epigenetically?) perhaps could use, also, some elaboration

Thank you for your service. Is this still ongoing somewhere? Also, looks like the .ml domains are back up again!

Right — on Reddit, if you didn’t get to a post within say the first hour or so*, you were going to be banished to a vast wasteland of unseen comments with only one upvote.

Even if you did, well, your comment best be damned clever, funny, or interesting to be interacted with much.

This basically feels like a less lonely Reddit.

Mastodon also has this vibe for me (vs twitter). Basically, the superstar economy effect is less strong.

*or piggyback on an existing top-rated comment (trying to make one’s own relevant to it, or “hijacking” it)

Efforts ought to be focused more on redirecting people to / advertising Lemmy. Any entailed increase in DAUs for Reddit would be, ultimately, temporary.

Probably, driving is also more dangerous, although I can’t be bothered to look up the stats.

Yeah passenger rails that didn’t suck would be the best option here.

Seriously. Who gives a rat’s ass if Reddit’s DAUs are say 0.01% higher than they would be due to our participation there to post Lemmy links to place, if in the longer term, we draw more users away from them.

Interesting — is the former compiled? Seems smoother vs Swift UI, which is the opposite of what I’d expect for something that sounds like it has more bloat (React).

That, plus the zooming didn’t work well

I’m an idiot, though. I was in the TestFlight beta, then left it when they released it to the App Store (before realizing that the TestFlight beta would be ongoing and get earlier releases than the App Store version). That is to say — it’s probably already fixed.

This is the issue with the tech industry as a whole right now. High interest rates mean the DAU jig is up.

Not sure, but Wiki has a bunch of footnotes that may explain
