The new system to replace Reddit coins and awards is here. You got out at the right time.
Yeah... It's about "freeing yourself from Reddit's control"

I'm honestly excited. He mentioned in the video how there will probably be some more experimental stuff, and I really like his experimental stuff. Money, for example, was really good. And there's still Lateral for us to listen to while we wait.

Supposed Steam Deck killers are missing the point
Once Valve releases SteamOS for other devices, they will be so much better. Assuming they actually switch away from Windows.

Why my apps will soon be gone from the Google Play Store
Fuck google. I just want to be able to play minit on my phone, but no, Google says it's not good enough for me because they haven't updated the app in a while. You know, like most games. Of course they haven't updated the app, the game is finished, they've moved on from it.

Yeah. It's not even the fact that they don't implement Nearby Share themselves that's bad, it's that the restrictions they impose on apps means that an app can't even implement Nearby Share themselves

r/RedditAlternatives doesn't like a Reddit Alternative
Oh I agree. Maybe not toxic per se, but extremely out of touch. I think what happened is it just became a bigger echo chamber, because from the already echo chamber reddit, all the people who are the type to switch to the fediverse (privacy focused, foss lovers) are on lemmy, with their opinions being spouted back at them, so it feels like everyone agrees, when really they're a minority.
The biggest differing opinion between reddit and lemmy that I see is lemmy's insistence that absolutely everyone should switch to linux. Of course I saw that on reddit a bit too, but it always had some pushback.
And of course there's also the ignorance of the fediverse's problems. Like people just can't comprehend why someone wouldn't switch to Mastodon or Lemmy.
This doesn't apply to all topics though. There is still some good discussion here. Sometimes it can be better than reddit.
What's weird is I don't experience this on hacker news. People seem to be a lot less out of touch, and have a wider variety of opinions. Not entirely sure why, maybe because it's had time to mature?

If you want to sync your notes between devices, Obsidian Sync is $48 a year. But since it's all just markdown files anyway, you could just use dropbox to sync them anyway.

I don't get how Americans are more scared of Australia's animals when they have goddamn bears! You can get an antidote for a spider or snake bite, you can't get an antidote for a bear bite.

Well then obviously if you use libraries, your code is too complicated

Hades 2 early access launch on Steam reaches over 100k concurrent players 24 hours after launch
Nice. Won't be playing it till the full release, I still have Hades 1 after all, but all this attention will probably make the game even better than the original

It's so nice to see them all growing, but this is just the truth, sorry.

I use Linux as my daily driver, yet I 100% believe Linux is overrated. It's great if you're willing to put in the work to get it working well, or maybe if you have someone else to do all your tech support for you, but it's just not a good option for the majority of people.
I hate when people keep trying to push it on Windows users, especially when they go on about how "easy" it is. It's not. And doing that will get people to try it out with high expectations and then get disappointed when they try it out and that's not the case.

Can confirm this is true because the same was true for my mum. She was against the COVID vaccine, but then she started believing that the theories were started by the Chinese government to target people who don't listen to the authorities.
