Oh god does it not even have adjustable font??

Yeah that occurred to me like in the middle of the thought process and I just rolled with it. 😅 That apartment kitchen was so dark I turned the lights on a lot.

In my old apartment I lived in for 6 years I must have had a faulty kitchen light that did something to the bulbs because I changed LEDs in that like more than once a year, but none of the other lights I changed. Granted I also turned on that light way more than the overhead bedroom light so idk. But I definitely killed quite a few LEDs.

Yes, the free version of the app has ads added to it.

Didn’t he refuse to pay Twitter lawyers that worked for Twitter to force Musk’s hand to buy Twitter? I imagine at this point his lawyer options are pretty slim based on his earned reputation.

Not sure if you’re serious or I’m wooshing, but yep. Some people apparently partly stand (not like all the way up afaik) to wipe.

It seems like many of the “all desktop people” don’t know the “all mobile people” exist, and many of the all mobile people don’t know the desktop people exist. I’ve seen some discussions in PC-centric communities shocked to hear how few people even have a laptop let alone a full PC anymore. It’s like the sitting vs standing wiping people used to not know each other existed before the internet blew up about it.

It also means people trying to share posts with friends will have trouble. If someone sends me a link that insists I open in app I’ll either ask the sender to just screenshot it or pretend I looked.

Thanks for solving the “Ziggy” one for me! And I agree I feel like “Computer” was for elderly grandmas.

Funnily enough, you can change the Alexa wake word (edit: on certain devices, I can change it on my Show but not my Tap). It can be “Echo”, “Amazon”, “Computer” and for some reason “Ziggy” (someone is a big fan of Bowie or Sunday morning cartoons?)

I know you can’t change Siri, I’m not sure about Google but I assume that can’t be changed either.

Yeah I watch a girl on YouTube who bought a run down old house in Nova Scotia + plenty of land for I think $64k? It obviously takes a lot of work to get it modernized but it was technically liveable when she bought it. But it’s kinda out in the middle of nowhere and therefore not as desirable.

(If anyone cares, she’s a booktuber but she has a whole video series on refurbing the house. Her name is Ariel Bissett.)

I haven’t been to squabble since about a week after it opened. What happened to it?

Whenever I go over there it always feels like they just like to listen to themselves talk. :(

Unfortunately it wasn’t just rich idiots, but any idiots with disposable income. Only the rich million-dollar NFT garbage made the news, but plenty of “normal” folk lost money with the junk too.

I prefer swipe to hide, but yes I would like a manual way to hide individual posts without having to open each one.

What blows my mind is I think they would have been moderately successful if they just said you need to have Premium to be able to use third party apps. I used Reddit for HOURS a day. Honestly it was bad. I wouldn’t have liked it but I probably could have justified to myself paying a small fee per month to be able to continue using Apollo if they had played their cards right. Instead I haven’t been back since before the blackout. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I should thank spez for cutting my addiction cold turkey.

I know it’s not productive to say but I don’t like any of them more than the current rainbow one. 😢

This has been submitted on GitHub and I believed marked as low priority, so it’s planned but not an immediate focus.

I originally went with kbin over Lemmy because the kbin webapp looked and functioned (for me) so much better. But now Memmy has gotten pretty good and close to Apollo so I’ve moved there. For me it’s all about ease of interaction/function.

Yea I meant plant-based “milks” (I know they’re now called “beverages” but I haven’t come around to it just yet).
