The old outlook was just perfect, the new one is positively abhorrent. I swear if they force one more app to me I’m going to purposefully stop using it altogether

A couple of things help me:

1. Having bigger hands for a start
2. Native gestures
3. Extra gestures using specific apps

That last one is the best deal

Thanks Alot, for sharing this, it was a great fun read

Yes, but not in the way you’d think.

I think lemmy won’t be easy enough to use for a vast majority of users, they’ll stick to the traditional platforms.

However, I think if the hype continues for a while, and the little kinks are ironed out soon enough, it will give rise to a new, different kind of platform.

People have this idea that lemmy will replace reddit and just become Reddit 2.0. I think lemmy is still a place similar to a phoenix burning. The new bird has yet to take it’s first breath, and it’ll be quiet different from what we imagine or what we are used to today

After battling with depression for 6 years, my life turned around. In just under a year, I went from having suicidal thoughts to graduating and landing one of the best jobs in my entire country.

It took me a while to fully accept that good things can happen to me, I think it was almost an entire year before I was in a normal mental state.

Take a deep breath, understand what is the minimum required from you on your new job, do not fall below that, and just let the blissful feelings come in. Enjoy this moment, perhaps years down the line, on a really tough day, you’ll remember your current mood and be happy even in face of hardships.

Congrats on finally it to your dream :)
