I umderstand your reasoning and I sure hope the fediverse will succeed. I doubt the normies will come over any time soon, but that is not really a bad thing. What is bad tho, is the fragmentation of data over so many instances, duplicate communities not knowing about each other and the censorship some instances apply. I don’t even know how some of these will get fixed or if they will ever, as they are core part of a decentralized architecture. I miss infinity tho, eternity for lemmy worked for a while but it’s no longer maintained :(

So where do you go for tech advice, niche hobbies and obscure activities?

Exactly. At the end of the day, naming is not that relevant as long as it conveys the message of what the app does. It only gets confusing when you have a bunch of apps doing the same thing

Birds aren’t real

Unfortunately, as much as I like and use firefox on both pc and mobile, chrome and chromium based browsers dominate the market. It doesn’t help that they come pre-installed in both cases.

What about the back of your tv? Or friend’s PC? Or library computer? Or phone charger? Or… Any other Universal device using the Universal Serial Bus…

You may learn YOUR devices, but you may also have to interact with other devices at times and USB didn’t make it easy in the past.

Now, type C is a thing and it helps with plugging it in right the first time, but that one has the HUGE issue with allowing any protocol since USB 1.0 and everyrhing else is optional. So even though you can plug a type C monitor into a type C microphone, nothing will happen, so it’s not stupid proof anymore.

Not talking about my ports. Also ports can be installed the wrong way by the manufacturer. I had a pc case that the front usb ports upside down. But again, usb ports can be installed vertically, in which case it won’t matter if you know which is up or down your usb plug, because now it’s left or right

That may help in the case of a properly installed usb port, but what if the port is upside down? Or what if it’s a vertical port? Is upside left or right?

Yes

What about DLCs? And micro-transactions? And lack of optimisations? Base games these days are more like beta versions of what used to be provided in the past… It kinda feels like shrinkflation, price is the same but you get a lot less, both in quality and quantity.

Not sure if you know, but there is an app called gadgetbridge, open source that can interface with many wearable devices including pebble. I use it with an amazfit bip and it works very well. You should give it a try.

I wish… 8C with heavy rain is pretty far from ideal. Light jacket is enough, but umbrella and weather proof shoes also needed. YMMV

That litter box looks tiny or these are some very large tiles. Either way it’s probably worth getting a covered litter box, no more sand everywhere

Beep boop ah shiet… They done got me this time… runs away leaking oil and steam

Not all bots are bad, the piped bot is nice and there are others too

Same place where you go bankrupt by calling an ambulance… And they consider themselves a developed country lol

This… Also my water already comes at 10C in the summer, even less in the winter… Any colder and you’d have to bite and chew it rather than drink…

You know what didn’t die yet? My 8 year old earbuds that have a wire and plugs into the jack. And guess what, I don’t even have to charge them or worry about losing one of them.

Fuck wireless headphones.

Judging by the amount of downvotes, I think the /s would’ve helped at the end.
