This sounds like something a robot pretending to be a human acting as a robot convincing you it’s human in an ironic, humorous way would say!

Think about it. Under each level of irony, there could always be another level of robot. (That includes me right now.)

The singularity isn’t “near” as people say, we’re already way past it. (In text-based communication anyway.)

We’ve had three pets so far, and they’ve all had real but uncommon human names.

It’s completely irrelevant who made the point. If you can “agree” or “disagree” with the content, by principle it does not belong in YSK.

Take a look at some of the posts in this community. Does it seem like you could agree or disagree with most of them? No, because the typical YSK post is just a plain piece of information, which is either true or false (hopefully true).

But that’s not the main point you’re making. “YSK: upvoting content makes it more visible” wouldn’t be much of a post would it?

You’re trying by to dictate what people “should” or “shouldn’t” promote. That part isn’t objective, it’s conveying your own ideas. Which doesn’t fit the YSK community.

YSK: this community is mainly for facts or guides. What you’ve posted is an opinion.

And this doesn’t just apply to their recommended news section, this is Google in general.

Googling for technical topics without appending the name of a forum website (like stackexchange, hacker news or that other one) has been a trash experience for years. Shovelware top to bottom.

Wheww that’s a powerhouse you got there!

Obligatory question to a Mac Studio user though: Do you ever hear the fans? Haha

A fellow M1 MBA connoisseur! 🤝

Yeah, 8 GB can get painful. That’s actually one of the few embarrassing aspects of Apple Silicon – even right now, you can still get brand new Macs with M2, but only 8 GB of memory. Like, I understand why it exists, but raising the minimum to 16GB is long overdue at this point.

Thanks for sharing!

Great job on the project so far!

I’m often wondering, and this seems like a good place to ask: As someone who has no experience with app development and generally can’t help with any of the actual engineering problems – is it still useful for you folks when people like me chime in with discussions and feature suggestions on the GitHub repo? Or are we more annoying than helping?

I sometimes feel like it seems easy to just “flood” the place with tickets, but if nobody contributes with actual code solutions, what is it really for? If you know what I mean…

I’ll start: Two years ago, I bought the legendary M1 MacBook Air (actually I just checked my receipt, and it will be exactly two years tomorrow, huh!). I’m typing from it right now.

It has truly been amazing since day 1. To me, this computer is an embodiment of the Apple Silicon transition, as it combines an Intel-era body with the new-era M1 chip. Mostly thanks to the overkill heat dissipation and battery, the result is a ridiculously awesome laptop.

I’ve done a fair share of graphic design, programming, now almost 4 semesters of university studies, and even quite a bit of gaming on this computer. It has taken everything I’ve thrown at it so far, and I’m sure there’s many more years of happy use to come. I wouldn’t change it for anything.

Although I’ll admit, I’m quite jealous of the M2 kids and their MagSafe port. Two Thunderbolt ports is sometimes just not enough :,)

Isn’t that the point of the whole communities structure though? That you have some common topic to talk about, rather than just exchanging small-talk?

For me, the people I’d talk to on Reddit were mostly internet strangers anyway, so my mindset is that this place is no different :)

Just as a side-note: Multireddits are not an Apollo feature, they are a part of Reddit itself since 2013. Although, Apollo did support them before the Redesign did (which calls them “Custom Feeds”) if I’m not mistaken.

I think it has potential to get there eventually. It already follows the similar design and usage philosophies, and I imagine the development could really take off now.

Keep in mind that Apollo has years of full-time development behind it, whereas Mlem is essentially an early beta of an open-source passion project.

I feel like the floating keyboard will be analogous to the on-screen keyboard on game consoles – it works for the occasional couple of words or sentences, but for any sort of extensive use, you’re gonna want a hardware keyboard.

And honestly, that’s okay. It’s good that they’re open about the hand fatigue and admitting that this isn’t the solution to all-day typing.

I mean, at this point, it’s hard to disagree with this. Before the C-type ecosystem was fully established, there was maybe still room to make arguments for and against… but in this day and age, the transition from Lightning to C is a no-brainer really.

I admit however that I’ll miss the haptic feel of Lightning. Yes, a well made USB-C / Thunderbolt connector come pretty close, but even the best C-type plug has that an inherent “wonkiness” due to to the hollow ending and the springs inside. Still no comparison to Lightning, where the plug is a solid chunk of metal.
