🤓 just wash your vegetables. Seems easier than relying on hundreds of people

Well that’s the issue. Reddit as a tool/service is fine. The only thing that I have an issue with is the api / third party app stuff and their leadership. Subs like Homelab , league , etc are ones I used heavily and they still function the same more or less. I just lurk more and use Reddit in browser with an extension that helps.

Lemmy and the various instances and apps are cool, but the lack of content(or content creators rather) is what makes it a little depressing. Outside of memes and discussions like this, it doesn’t replace Reddit because the user base is like 10+ years behind. I can show up and find posts from days ago which just leads me to keep using Reddit and rss for new content

I guess they replaced the photo now? It’s what I see when I loaded the article and I didn’t need to swipe

it’s a quantity/quality problem. you really need to need to rely on word of mouth because there’s just so much to sort through and a lot of it is bad or could have been better. Sure , you get your hits like squid games that it’s hard to not know about it , but something like Severance on Apple TV + , I probably wouldn’t have watched it on my own despite having the service.

For what it’s worth. , my coworker had one and his room didn’t smell. I assume it’s like owning any other in house pet where you just need to regularly clean their cage/tank

It’s so that you can’t share your card with friends. You specifically have to live at the same place and have proof when you add them to the account

Browsers on iOS just use WebKit. So chromium or quantum aren’t allowed. So all the work Firefox is doing for android isn’t compatible

To my knowledge no but it wouldn’t surprise me if someone found a way to do it. It’s just that chromecast/Google TVs is a lot more friendly and open. You can cast iOS or android.

I think you’re missing the point. People don’t like to be bombarded at their job , shitty or not as soon as they get there. But at least this way you don’t come off as an asshole.

I miss when cringe actually meant cringe, not it’s just things people don’t like.

AppleTV 100%. it’s 2nd really only to the shield when it comes to streaming formats , as the Apple TV doesn’t support some of the edge cases (as far as normal users go). Streams most things on my plex server. No ads , stellar performance. My 2017 4k is still a beast and I like the UI. You also don’t really have to deal with apps or services skipping your device because of some bullshit, and if you do it’s not long( hbomax, YouTube TV come to mind).

The only thing it really doesn’t do well is casting like chromecast or side loading but I haven’t had an app that I’ve wanted to install that I couldn’t so there’s that. It has airplay but it also requires you to have an iDevice/Mac but I generally wasn’t a huge user of the feature when I had my chromecast.

It is coming to iOS “next year”

Idk about shorts but for TikTok, creators have the ability to turn this feature on or off, this isn’t the norm.

I mean , you can’t exactly go ask a doctor how to use lsd. Sometimes you just want to read up on something based on someone else’s personal experience. The website might be doing some dumb shit lately but it’s hard to replace the vast number of people who have answered exact questions you’re looking for. Lemmy just doesn’t have the 10+ year head start

It’s still the best search engine in my experience. I’ve tried using bing and DuckDuckGo. They just don’t cut it and the ai stuff isn’t particular impressive to me. Google just understands the power of defaults

lol i was about to say. Updates have been free since what , Lion? Lemmy is just hurr durr non Linux operating systems bad 🙄

I’m just saying none of those are worth the switch to Linux. Not if you use applications that only work or work best on windows and to a certain extent Mac. Chrome and Microsoft do it to each other , it’s nothing new. Download your browser and move on.

We could make a list of complaints about either but most people would still use windows before touching Linux. It’s that simple. Of Linux was that good , why isn’t everyone just flocking to use and develop for it. 🙄

You see how that works though. They express windows is apparently worse than Linux because of a survey. But I could say the same thing about I have no idea why anyone would want to use Linux and restrict themselves to an inferior product.

One survey in a browser that’s made by the os developer is fine and people just like to over react if it’s not their precious open source software. Putting up with using Linux seems like even more bullshit if you use any application that doesn’t support Linux.

Either way , they’re free services so who care.

I’d rather deal with windows and this than to use Linux. Apparently a survey is doing too much

🙄 way to be over dramatic
