You can’t view notifications in the app without enabling push notifications and email notifications now
It sucked before too. Certain types of notification were only viewable in the app. If you had one, it would give you an orange envelope on the mobile site, but nothing new could be seen inside. And it wouldn't even tell you what's happening so I just wrote off the entire notification system as broken. So if I got a reply on Reddit I wouldn't know because there's no indication. I still won't ever install the app and I'm now less likely to do so because I hate push notifications.

Dotfiles matter! Please stop dumping files in users’ $HOME directories.

I don't touch it either for two reasons that go together.
My cloud drive has SO much random flstudio crap in it. That's the worst program in the world when it comes to that. If you install their program they think they own your hard drive.
Also while I'm bitching about windows folders, why did they make it so weird to get to your home folder? It feels like we aren't supposed to know it exists anymore.

"What kind of music are you into?"
I like everything but rap and country and there's nothing the internet can do to change that.

Explain why having a "pencil dick" makes someone a bad person that's what you're all flying past in your rage. And I don't even like those new trucks, they look retarded compared to old trucks which are better in every other way too.

Every weed smoker had a zippo they didn't use because it tasted so bad. They're fidget toys more than anything. And the "windproof" feature doesn't work all that well compared to a bic lighter. Who cares if it keeps a tiny flame alive if it's not going to ignite anything else. You have to shelter it anyway.

There is a drop in monthly active Lemmy users (from 65k to 57k)

Thanks for the community recommendations, they seem like great points to explore from. I also love Linux and tech in general, otherwise I probably wouldn't be here. But I have other interests too. That's something I find to be decent about tildes surprisingly, considering you need to be a massive tech nerd just to access one.

Tankies and American democrats are scaring away the hoes. Source: I'm a hoe that has barely been coming here lately. There's not enough people here for niche communities to thrive, and the front page has been getting worse and worse. Today I saw this post on the front page, pretty close to the top.
I'd like to be clear that I don't care who americans voted for 7 years ago, but that's not why I don't think I should be seeing this. It's just, sheesh man. THIS is what the community wants and thinks is important in 2023? I'm trying to find a niche amongst THIS?
It's very similar to my problem with Gemini and every other "alt tech" platform I've tried to join. Worst case scenario it becomes a sewer for everyone who got banned from other sites for political extremism. Best case scenario, you end up with nothing but the demographic of upper class americans who do nothing but sit on their computers all day, which is not my scene either.
I'm starting to wonder if I should just leave the internet altogether.

how it feels to be on Lemmy rn

I was on a forum looking for something once and someone had a flash game as their sig. It was like Portal The Flash Version but the gun was on a rail. And the dimensions of the flash viewport were like a typical sig, so it was pretty interesting just to play a game in such a strange aspect ratio. Not really relevant to anything but I haven't thought of that in a really long time.

Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024

I use it too and I find it perfect. Most music players also have a podcast feature. I used to use pocketcasts but they decided to update (ruin) the interface and I'm still mad about it.

I watched a documentary about dick enlargement procedures and those pills are all fake. They're just viagra and that's what they mean by making your dick grow.

Big Iron is cool within the context of fallout new vegas but I never cared about that song as it's own thing. I find King of the Road annoying but that's probably my dad's fault for playing it any time we drove anywhere for any reason.
