I bought PS+ earlier this year for the first time ever and regret it even at its current price. It was an experiment but it failed for me.

It is an absurd statement to argue that the average cyclist on the average bike can sprint to over 30mph “without much trouble.” Maybe with a tailwind going downhill, and even that is, ahem, dangerous.

“Lede” I’ve heard because of the common expression “burying the lede.” You’re telling me “graf” is standard language for published articles?

This is such a great project! I can see how there’s a little room for clean-up on that long S. Plus the comma-looking apostrophe 😵‍💫. Although maybe that’s how that punctuation mark acted back then?

Right-handed, right pocket. I’m surprised to see so many people saying they use their off hand to hold their phone.

I miss Reddit as seen through Apollo, and that Reddit is dead.

I like Signal but it badly needs message editing capability.

Unfortunately it looks like Lemmy is going to get all the mobile apps, though.

Agreed. These companies learned that internet outrage is generally indicative of nothing actionable.

I don’t mind the Reddit posts until 7/1. On that day, if the apps go offline, Reddit will have won for all intents and purposes and it’ll be time for Kbin and Lemmy to just be themselves and stop talking about Reddit.

How does this comment end up under every post about Netflix? Take a look at their financials. They’re doing fine. Great, even. Their decisions may be unpopular with a tiny but vocal minority, but let’s deal in facts here.

There’s already “Reputation Points” so don’t we already have that, but by another name? I like this name much better than “karma” by the way. I’m kinda good with what we have. It feels like an echo of some things from Reddit are here without being a total clone. Hopefully it won’t influence people toward bad/annoying behavior like on Reddit.

Assuming you’re talking about America, before 2000 votes were never closely scrutinized or thought of as fraudulent. In Florida there was the hanging chads thing in 2000, and a fringe clings to the idea that there was chicanery in 2004, perhaps in Ohio. But the 2008, 2012, and 2016 elections weren’t seized on as needing to be “investigated,” although the Republican candidate in 2016 declared that if he didn’t win the forthcoming election, it’d be due to widespread fraud and he might not accept the result. In 2020, that came to pass, with a clear and validated loss and he didn’t accept the result, infusing his supporters with the idea that there was massive fraud despite the lack of any evidence or verifiable documentation of it. Now, of course, we do have one party that seems perpetually trapped in a cycle of questioning all election outcomes that don’t align with their political goals, and it seems likely to only get worse.

Hopefully one happy side effect of this is that it won’t become a cultural thing on the Fediverse to put a typo in your post title and then have a comment section full of people all calling attention to the typo instead of the actual question/topic of the post.

I’ve been doing just that. If you’re a fan of The Office, get on over to m/DunderMifflin. Although I’ve never been a fan of the name. It’d be better if it was m/PaperGreat. Where Great Paper is our Passion.
