Why do you need a 3d printer when carrots have been coming out of the ground for thousands of years.
they explain that in the article :)

I have the perfect solution - rdx.overdevs.com
It’s mobile-friendly, and you can follow/subscribe without creating an account. You can also import a list of current subscriptions from your old reddit account using a .json file.
The only issue is that it’s read-only and you can’t create an account, post or upvote. But given the shitstorm that is the reddit admin team, i view this as a good thing!
technical and moderation features are factors within the admns’ control. growth isn’t
lemmy has become much tolerable after i blocked all the meme communities.
i also block hexbear and beehaw for separate reasons.
The problem is - on reddit, the userbase is large enough that I can decide what I want to talk about. If i want to discuss underwater basket weaving, there will be communities talking about that. lemmy is nowhere near big enough - there’s traction on /all/ but not on the smaller communities.
And that’s exactly why lemmy needs to grow its userbase significantly before it can ever become mainstream.
The best term I’ve heard to describe this is “Hapsburg AI”
Yeah, I mean this might my personal deficiency that other people don’t have… but if I see a comment I disagree with and then I see that it has been upmodded heavily, I get a greatly increased urgency to shit on that comment to make people see how wrong it is. Totally toxic and encouraged by the scoring system.
As with anything, this is intended behavior but perhaps taken too far by some people.
A points system is the best way to get a sense of what other people think, and whether your views are generally accepted. When you’re in a social setting, you can tell from nonverbal clues (e.g. if you start saying something and people frown/inch away, you know they don’t agree). This is valuable.
When you see something upvoted highly that you don’t agree with, OR something downvoted highly that you agree with, it could be one of two scenarios:
A. You’re right, but people generally have misconceptions about the issue.
B. You have a controversial take on the issue.
It’s not always clear which of these it is. That’s why a lot of internet yelling matches devolve into some variation of “downvoted for truth” or “downvote all you want, facts are facts and you’re just blind” - people think it’s B, the person arguing thinks it’s A.
To combat this, you need the following:
Reasoning and critical thinking skills are important. At the most basic, learn to distinguish fact from opinion, but also learn to understand an argument.
Be humble. Don’t approach it from a “I must win this argument” mentality - try and understand why they’re thinking that way.
Pick your battles. Sometimes you just have to disagree and walk away. Nobody is going to give you a prize for making the last comment in an argument.
Of course, it’s easier to just not look at the numbers. But then why not just… not use lemmy/reddit/internet forums? If this isn’t giving you any pleasure, why read/comment at all?
I don’t know what you’re talking about, there has never been a movie adaptation of the book! Never!
Are there plans to build some sort of instance-blocking feature?
oh yeah, much less jumping from video to video nowadays.
YT could have provided recommendations based on categories you picked out, or countries, or just what’s popular today. Instead they decided to throw a hissy fit and show a blank homepage.
I’m taking it as my detox from social media. Facebook many years ago, Twitter last year, Reddit this year, now YT (although to be fair I still use the subscriptions tab, but it’s made me spend less time on YT).
It’s wild that companies essentially destroyed the practice of overclocking.
I sold my Pixel 6 pro to get a Samsung S23. Unfortunately the main issues I had with the pixel were hardware-related and recurring, and while samsung isn’t ideal, most of their issues could be solved with a one-time fix.
Main issues I had with the Pixel:
Issues I had with the Samsung:
some people want more storage space maybe? not OP, just guessing.
As a dude I would offer to pay for their cab home, but someone asking for that is a yellow flag.
Asking for me to pay for a bunch of stuff, including the cab, would be a red flag. Unless I’ve travelled back in time to the 70’s or I’m living in Saudi Arabia, paying for my date should be a nice thing to do, not an expectation.
The pixel 7 line had pretty good cameras, didn’t they? Iirc it was 64MP
If you haven’t tried any of the newer Samsung, you should!
I hated the bloat on my S5 (only tolerated it because of the awesome IR blaster on that phone), but the S10 was miles better. There were maybe 2 apps I had to disable, the rest could be uninstalled.
No bloat is still better than some bloat, of course, but Samsung phones are still one of the few with a triple camera setup in a small form factor. That, and the new android quick toggles are so ugly - who thought it was a good idea to hide wifi/data behind a second layer of toggles, and then make each toggle hideously big?!
A feed with 40 videos, 25 of which I’ve already watched
This is such a problem for me. There needs to be a “remove from the feed because I’ve already watched it, but i’m still interested in this type of content” button.
I put out some bait last month to get rid of an ant problem I had in my kitchen, I guess I’m as guilty of mass murder as you are
think of the poor kid who you deprived of a balloon, you monster!
Ah i wasn’t sure if you just wanted to follow or participate. This solution allows you to follow but not participate
