Amju Wolfto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from LemmyEnglish91·2 months agoOnce upon a time Reddit used to be just a single subreddit. And it was fine. Lemmy already has enough users for separate subreddits to be actually kinda viable, even if they are not too active.
We’ll be fine.
Amju Wolfto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from LemmyEnglish11·2 months agoThe fact that Bluesky is almost a 1:1 copy (which includes the dumb stuff like post character limit) is precisely why I don’t like it.
Amju Wolfto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from LemmyEnglish2·2 months agoI’m an OG user and other than technical issues (most of which have been figured it by now) I prefered both the original redesign and the newest one (though I did like the previous one more, I think).
If you get used to the fact that it’s just a bit different it’s perfectly fine and actually looks better. Especially since it has dark mode.
Amju Wolfto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from LemmyEnglish3·2 months agoThere are definitely issues with Lemmy but these users specifically seem to just be complaining for the sake of complaining. They want Reddit without the parts they currently don’t like, not realizing that they also need to get rid of the parts that eventually made Reddit go to the shitter - because otherwise it’d just repeat.

It’s funny because I watch zero NSFW content on Reddit or Lemmy.
Spoiler
Have way better sources for that, you know 😏
Wouldn’t be surprised if it also did automatic scans for CSAM or some other BS like that. The article’s conclusion is really funny, too:
In any case, it’s nice to see Google delivering some new safety features in its Messages app. Hopefully the company publishes documentation on how Android System SafetyCore works so other messaging apps can implement their own version of Sensitive Content Warnings. Google Messages is popular, but there are certainly other messaging platforms that could benefit from this tool.
They are quite the optimitsts. Oh and yes please, put the spyware in more apps! We aren’t tracked enough!
Seems to have been a bug and they reverted the bans.
Seems you’re right. I tried a few subs when the original comment was posted and they didn’t work but now they seem to be back.
To be fair, it’s still a good thing to remember that it takes like one press of a button to kill a shitton of communities a lot of people care about.
To be fair I don’t think that many people go to Reddit for porn. With Tumblr it seemed almost exclusive. But it’s still an odd move.
Huh? Do you have a source for that?
Yeah, it’s also that “it just works” now, and one undisputable (though unfortunately self-fulfilling) advantage of Windows is that chances are if you do encounter an issue you’re not the first one and someone has already solved it.
Being an early(ish) adopter of anything like that is always a bit of a risk and pain.
Amju Wolfto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•New York starts enforcing $15 broadband law that ISPs tried to kill - Ars TechnicaEnglish2·3 months agoSure, but the fixed costs are really low (mostly administrative and one-time installation related stuff which you could potentially just charge for separately) and the ongoing costs per customer are close to zero.
Also really depends on where you live; I guess for NY it’s a really good deal.
Amju Wolfto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•New York starts enforcing $15 broadband law that ISPs tried to kill - Ars TechnicaEnglish1·3 months agoI mean, kinda? Sure, there are fixed costs per customer, and it ultimately doesn’t matter if one guy has access to (and uses) a 1Gbps versus 1Mbps service… But when you have millions of customers that you want to serve those speeds to reliably, there’s an insane difference as you need way more expensive equipment and stuff.
And yeah, more bandwidth has gotten cheaper. But again - for such a critical service, it should be very cheap and minimum speed isn’t really a factor. So if they could make it 1/3 cheaper by cutting the speed to 1/5, that’d be a win for a lot of people.
Amju Wolfto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•New York starts enforcing $15 broadband law that ISPs tried to kill - Ars TechnicaEnglish302·3 months agoThe funniest (or saddest?) part of all this is that $15 is considered “low”. It’s still pretty high for something so vital (and tbf I’d much rather see a requirement for like 5-10 Mbps at $5 or so; you don’t need much bandwidth for meaningful, very useful service).
Amju Wolfto Android@lemmy.world•6 trends to expect from flagship Android phones in 2025English1·3 months agoMy point is, don’t get causation and correlation mixed up. Sure, in this case, it also happens to be somewhat better for the environment. But it would never happen if it also wasn’t more profitable, which it undoubtedly is.
It’s partly not even about the price of the chargers themselves; it saves even more in “hidden costs” like just the fact that now you can have a single SKU for the whole world (or large parts of it at least) instead of keeping 10 different ones (per phone variant). Stuff like having to keep way less stock variants for RMAs, much simplified shipping, etc.
Slimes as in SlimeVR, open source trackers.
I think it all should work, but I’m afraid of just having to solve issues in general with stuff I don’t have to solve any issues with now.
Sure, the Index should work fine, but I’m not so sure about accessories, my Slimes, etc. Also on an nvidia GPU…
Really hope Valve does indeed release the new headset, because my Index is getting very dated.
Amju Wolfto Android@lemmy.world•6 trends to expect from flagship Android phones in 2025English2·3 months agoLol have you noticed any drop in price since chargers were removed? There wasn’t any. If anything the prices increased, profits increased, and you now get a more expensive phone without a charger (and often even a cable).
Oh yeah absolutely the app purge is why I’m here. I absolutely despise their mobile app; but on desktop I don’t mind.
The information density isn’t that important to me on desktop since my screen is plenty large and scrolling (or collapsing) comments is easy.
