My favorite thing is when I notice the chain is emailing people who don’t need to see it and Reply All after moving them to BCC (I add a note saying “moved X to BCC” for transparency).

People love me :-)

The default iPhone app and sign-up process for the main instance is pretty darn straight-forward. I’ve never been a Twitter guy so I can’t speak to functionality, but it seems fine to me already.

Sports journalists in particular — so annoying that all breaking NFL news goes through Xitter.

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times? You stupid monkey!

How do you get better at playing the guitar without actually playing the guitar?

That’s pretty funny since manually searching some keywords can usually provide helpful data. Should be pretty straight-forward to automate even without LLM.

I mean, it wouldn’t stop them from continuing to post to Xitter. They can do both!

They do keep adding garbage that nobody wants, but the core product still works great. I plan on getting a jellyfin docker running in parallel though so I’m prepared in the event they piss me off too much.

Look, I agree they suck, but video games being slightly worse isn’t the worst thing about the 21st century.

Nuclear weapons are dangerous. More at 11.

I’m all for holding robber barons accountable, but not a fan of state sanctioned murder.

Why would you trust random people on lemmy over a basic resource like Wikipedia?
