I said in my final paragraph that Lemmy is nice but there is so little content here. The communities I frequent here (with very active reddit counterparts) have like a submission every few days. Just check !football@lemmy.world for example.

I’m on Pixel 7 Pro and after this winter (dry hands) I’m leaning towards iPhone. I’m so sick of failing the fingerprint scanner 3-4 times before having to resort to the pin code.
FaceID worked so well on the Pixel 4 XL - why isn’t any Android manufacturer picking it up??
Feels like something that can be very frustrating unless they get it perfectly right
Much harder to get distracted with a pen and paper. Main reason I use it.
Same with Lightroom vs Darktable.

I loved infinity for reddit. Did I miss a memo or something, I thought he decided to try to make the reddit client financially sustainable?
Pff, this has to do with people caring more about their polling numbers than the environment.
Actually saving the environment requires some hard sacrifices and it’s hard to be the elected leader who tells their voters that they’re going to pay more and get less.
But in non-democratic countries you’re right of course.
I think one general benefit of open source is that in general - they are built for the user rather than for the stakeholders.
If Spotify was an open source app - you know for sure you would be able to hide podcasts for example (for people who don’t care about podcasts and just want a music experience). However, since for Spotify The Business it’s better to piss off X% of their users if Y% of their users turn into podcast users - they’re not going care about the angry X%.
So in general - in open source apps you’ll generally find features users actually want and very rarely the app will try to push new features on you because they’re trying to make numbers look good on their quarterly report.
European here. Telegram and FB Messenger is used by everyone even for iPhone to iPhone communication.
I just try really hard to do the small things all the time. Whenever I leave a room, I try to bring something with me that shouldn’t be in that room. Whenever I go into the kitchen, I try to clean one thing in the kitchen whether it’s putting something in the dishwasher or throwing out an empty package.
Just do small things whenever you have a moment.
Our place still looks chaotic though so don’t expect miracles.
Whenever I hear this kind of news, I always think of the people who just barely missed this. Or will miss this as it takes time to roll it out (I assume).
Most of the aspects have already been covered but I would want to add one:
This was always the plan, it just wasn’t as highly prioritised as growth.
I work as a developer at a big tech company. We (the company) had our roadmap and it was mostly about getting more users. The more users you have the day the economy turns - the better off you are (… If you manage to turn an profit).
So when the economy went to shit and we (and other tech companies) no longer can loan money for free to cover our running expenses - the priorities shift. Working towards attracting more users is only going to increase your costs at the point and you don’t want to run out of money. So all roadmaps changed and cost saving efforts became the highest prio all of the sudden.
You are used to a time where money was essentially free for companies. Whenever they needed money, they could loan money almost for free.
As interest rates are up, that’s no longer the case and priorities have changed from growth to plugging holes.
Looks like something I would want a friend to get because I want to try it but don’t think I could commit to a small phone
Knowledge does 🤷
People underestimate how important it is with a nice, stable, default experience for the average Joe.
I don’t want to be that guy but does this guy have a good track record? Kind of feel he managed to get a good Lemmy domain (generic sounding one) and now he has the biggest instance.
Do we know he’s a jolly good fellow?
Makes a lot of sense since it’s a sub for power users. The proportion of 3rd party app users is probably among the highest at Reddit
Definitely will die. I just don’t see how instances will be supported financially. The fediverse is nice but at the end of the day, the instances are running somewhere and there are bills to pay.
Eh, I don’t think I should use my phone more while in bed…
