I can manage to skip FB altogether, but 99% of my friends and family are on Messenger

Libre Office then?

True

Definitely feels emptier than it was a few months earlier, but so far I enjoy the “I’m not just a pawn in an ocean of users” feel that Lemmy gives vs Reddit

Not taking any sides here, but this could be faked so easily

I remember buying concert tickets for me and my gf for under $20. For both.

Fuck Ticketmaster.

Fuck these guys.

Please God no. I cannot fathom how people manage to hear my real voice.

I sound so much better inside my skull

Sid Meier’s Civilisation. Got me hooked like what I imagine crack cocaine and meth would do to you.

As much as I would love that to happen, this is basically a death wish

What now? Will he be replaced by one of Putin’s token? Seems like his men were respecting him

Fucked around and found out.

Many people pointed this out in the link but yeah, it’s much harder to make edits / entries in wikipedia nowadays.

The rules are more strict and you have to respect an increasing number of rules, etc.

I remember when Wikipedia started to get some steam, it was basically a text editor with very basic hyperlink-style formatting.

Minor changes / typos are still easy to do, but frankly I wouldn’t know how to start anymore if I wanted to create a new entry.

I personally post relevant information to the communities I’ve created and moderate, but I’m not here to be an entertainer. I get a handful of upvotes so I guess it’s useful to some people.

If Reddit fucks up even more I might have a bigger role, but so far it pretty feels like that Milhouse GIF playing frisbee with himself, and I’m sort of okay with that.

I’m surprised it hasn’t sunk sooner

Longform YT content has never been better IMO.

I feel like sub-10min videos have basically been Hello Fresh or similar advertisements with padding content to barely reach the 10 min mark.

But 1+hour video essays often have incredible research and production value on a wide range of topics.

I tried so many YT frontends and I found ReVanced to be the best, imo.

The fact that you can you can keep your account AND customize you frond end to your liking is pretty awesome.

SmartTube if you have an Android TV / Chromecast etc

Could be worse: I was all for the .ARJ church back then. LHA was also considered

I remember visiting Reddit and StumbledUpon and thinking to myself how ugly these sites were compared to my beloved Digg
