Reddit Wave and the Threadiverse

Reply in thread

I disagree. Going public hasn't served any tech company, except the founders, well. The changes announced thus far, are only the icing on the cake for what's to come. They pretty clearly don't have good management, or good decision making capabilities either. I think Reddit's on a rather fast descent to it's nadir.

Welcome to Calgary on lemmy.ca

Please don't give it to the Calgary mods. Let's start something new. It's time to stop giving them so much attention, and power (if you will).

Pretty please, let's start something new, without the amount of censorship that goes on at r/calgary. It doesn't really need modded yet anyways. If something offends anyone, I implore them, move past it and move on with your day. If you don't like the conversation, don't participate.

Will we see mass adoption of Apple Vision?

VR hasn't caught on as much as I thought it would. Using VR/Augmented reality is a hard thing to do for a long period of time. I get really motion sick from my PSVR after about 20 minutes. I know the tech has come a long way since then, but there's some pretty significant hurdles to overcome between here and mass adoption. That's even ignoring the buy in factor, which is a non-starter north of say $1k (maybe $1,500 if it's more like an actual standalone computer).

Jerboa as well, on android. I actually just figured it out, I have to long press on the comment and the option to reply will drop down. I feel like my father using this app, but I sort of love it. I'm figuring it out!

Planning on building a PC, anything I should know?

To echo everyone else, make sure to use PCpartpicker. It's actually a fairly simple thing to do, I was surprised by how few problems I had my first time. Watch lots of youtube first, like how do I install the processor into the motherboard, how do I wire everything up. Definitely watch a few assemblies before attempting your own. If you do your homework, it's like a 2 beer activity honestly. I started about 4pm and was eating supper with the family while Windows updated.

Canada's wildfire season off to 'unprecedented' start - CNN

Reply in thread

I'm in Alberta. We have had them this early, and otherwise had an OK season (ie 2016 Fort McMurray fire, which was obviously a disaster, but it was otherwise a quiet year in the south). Not sure about this year though, we haven't had rain for about a month, and there's some in the forecast, but it always seems to change. It's a natural process, and it's actually good for the environment at a macro scale, but it sure does suck when its happening. Well that, and our forestry management and development planning sucks and contributes to the problem.
