Life is like a long running tv show. Some previous seasons were awesome. This one sucks but I have to stay around to find out what happens next.
Doesn’t matter how bad it currently is, the curiosity to see which twist it pulls next is stronger.

I finally understood midi by comparing it with emojis. The unicode standard only defines characters and their meanings, but it’s up to os or app developers to choose an actual visual representation to display.

I’m disappointed any media I uploaded to Reddit is not also exported.

All my dank memes… 😢

Reddit lives from user engagement. Even bad ones mean ad view = profit.
So the best protest is not to use it in any way.

Do you go outside? Abuse, violence, gambling and drugs are universal constants of human existence anywhere in the world.

Use “they” for everyone. Even those who prefer traditional he/she.
I have better things to do than think about anyones gender.

Kill myself to deny anyone the prize

Internet is already full of bullshit SEO content. Sometimes written by humans, and quite often by bots. For years now. What’s coming is an arms race between different content generating AIs and search/answer AIs.

The benefit of Nebula is that they are first and foremost a paid service. So there is less motivation to monetize customers in unethical ways.

Yes, fireworks are fun.

Yes, it’s called narcissism

Mod of a subreddit I was following created an instance, its was the easiest choice

The biggest flaw of Lemmy/Kbin for now have been lack of instance agnostic links. I understand federation and how it technically works, but please give me something user friendly .

There are experiments with feeding LLMs output of other LLMs and the results are awful. Seems for now they can only generate sensible text if fed human output.

Kinda agree. I don’t have a preference either way. Kbin does need a better logo, but not necessarily an animal mascot.

Contrary opinion - it’s OK to give up hobbies you don’t enjoy any more.

Gaming was an important part of your life at one point. You remember it fondly because currently you are lacking something in your life, so you’re thinking - I used to enjoy gaming so I should enjoy it again.

Doesn’t work like that - people go through phases. Find what you enjoy now. Yes, maybe it’s gaming again. Maybe its something else - hiking, fixing motorcycles, partying … who knows. Experiment with activities until you find something that will make you burn again!
