They were probably replying to you on mastodon hence the @.

It’s basically forum discussion vs microblogging, and they are different types of social media. I myself prefer a forum type format because the focus of discussion is on a topic and doesn’t need my identity to be involved in. It’s also hard to maintain a conversation on a microblogging format when many people are replying to each other at the same time, unlike a forum where there are nested threads. It’s the reason I never got into twitter.

I did try mastodon because it was on the fediverse, but stopped posting after 2 weeks because I couldn’t think of anything interesting to post and it was hard to follow conversations with other people. It was also weird knowing there were people “following” me and will see everything I post.

Tilda, because I like how I can drop it down my screen anytime by pressing one key if I need to use it.

Huh. I wonder what they mean by “bad user UX”. I was expecting concerns about encryption or privacy, not UX. I already use Signal, so it would be a positive for me if they federate.

How are these companies able to operate in broad daylight in the EU of all places? I mean the name itself is saying out loud what they do.

I just say “Hey sir, start timer 15 (or whatever) minutes”. Works every time. I sometimes even ask how many minutes left.

Oh cool we have a TLDR bot on lemmy too! Good bot.

I’ve been curious with the show. Is it good?

They were/are. They’re just making it official now.

I release independently and I earned a whopping $43 for 50k+ streams (so far). Sure, 50k isn’t much compared to mainstream artists, but $43 isn’t much either.

It’s a game, but the Terran Marine, Firebat, and Ghost are classics.

All the fuss and arguments between people who want to promote lemmy and the people who refuse to genereate more traffic for reddit and I can’t even see the join-lemmy art with the entire thing zoomed out.

Wow Bunsenlabs. Now that’s a distro I haven’t heard in a while. lol. I used to have it on an old laptop many many years ago.

I use the old.reddit extension on firefox to force it. I haven’t been on there for a while now so not sure if it still works.

Any suggestions on where to start with troubleshooting an external hard drive that isn’t being detected? For context, it’s a very old 1TB HDD that is in its own case. I’m not really sure how I can open it because the case has no screws. It worked last week and suddenly stopped. Usually the led indicator blinks when I plug it into my laptop’s usb port, but now it just stays the same color (meaning no activity).

Is it available on old.reddit? A lot of people here who refuse to give reddit traffic in the first place also prefer old.reddit and don’t want to use the new interface.

Yeah, I just unsubscribed 2 months ago because they removed their regional pricing which caused rates to increase 4-6x in some countries.

The S in IoT stands for Security.

Seriously. They could add some other great features and they had to go with stories. I love Signal and use it but the addition of stories was a head scratcher.

Oh I didn’t know that! I’ll try it. Thanks for this!
