I’m curious how big of a dip there was with macOS when they fully dropped 32 bit support. I’m just one person but a lot of the games I played through steam were older 32 bit games. I don’t think I’ve opened steam on my Mac since that update.

It bothers me that people find it out so supremely confusing and it’s definitely an issue that needs to be addressed because it’s definitely keeping people away. The fact of the matter is, you can go to any Lemmy instance and get that front page experience because the r/all equivalent of each instance shows threads from every other instance (minus defederated, etc but that’s beside the point).

Sync helps in that it is a familiar and polished look and feel for those who used third party Reddit apps, but outside of that it’s just another Lemmy app.

Probably the biggest factor in the confusion is fediverse terms being used to describe the fediverse, which is basically speaking nonsense if you don’t already understand it.

There’s this: Lemmy is a federated link aggregator where anyone can start an instance and communities within that instance and all the instances can communicate and share information. Doesn’t it sound amazing?

Then there’s this: Lemmy is like a version of Reddit where there’s a whole bunch of separate reddit dot coms. You can sign up for whichever one you like to be your home “reddit”. The reddits are all connected, so you can subscribe to subreddits on the other reddits while just logged into your home. You can also post to them, comment, and see the posts and comments from your home.

I’m sure there’s some analogy out there that really boils it down well much better than mine, so please share if you think of one.

Loving it so far! I think everyone freaking out about the pricing needs to chill out and just use a different app.

There’s one thing I’m curious about and wasn’t able to find in the settings. Do we have the ability to turn off the red/blue highlighting on the action area for a post we’ve voted? I don’t like how it looks and find that the font color for the vote count is perfectly sufficient for me to know that I’ve upvoted and downvoted.

Haven’t used sync before, but I’m really digging the amount of flexibility in customizing how it looks. Thank you for your hard work in developing this so quickly!

My local store had numerous room temp superconductors right next to the perpetual motion machines.

I’m not sure how reliable eBay in Europe is, but I would suggest finding one available from a highly rated seller on eBay.

This is amazing

Yeah I have the feeling a lot of them are as bad or in some cases worse than bicycles upfitted with gas engines.

Is there something tangible? Slack’s logo is a symbol that suggests clockwise rotation while the version of the swastika that the Nazis used is a symbol that suggests counterclockwise rotation.

Especially given that the Nazis appropriated one version of a symbol that had many other versions/uses/meanings in different cultures, do we really need to equate every symbol or logo that has remote similarities to the swastika with Nazism?

I’m curious to see how streaming services are going to be affected by the strikes. Theoretically down the road they’ll reach a point for a while where they have very little new content to release and will be fighting each other for the rights to existing content.

Same. I cancelled my Netflix a couple years ago and haven’t looked back. They don’t have a lot of content that I’m interested in watching anymore, and when they do it’s easy to find elsewhere. I host my own Plex server now which makes it even more of a seamless transition.

Many English speaking countries use the comma to separate groups of three whole number digits and the period to notate the partial number digits. Most non English-speaking countries do the opposite.

This is one of the worst jokes I’ve ever seen. Thank you!

I like this question, although I don’t think it could work. Someone who campaigns really well, does not necessarily mean they will fulfill their office well. It also penalizes when there are two good candidates running against each other.

I could see it being more viable if the upper term limit is still along the lines of what we have today. Perhaps a presidential candidate winning an election by landslide could get a maximum term of 8 years, whereas someone just barely winning would have a shortened term of 1-2 years. I would definitely still be concerned about the negative ramifications of potentially more and more dirty campaigning to try and capture the highest portion of votes that others have mentioned.

Are they truly able though? I’ll readily admit I’m not very knowledgeable on this, but radio towers have a limited range, right? Satellites have the ability to provide internet and communications to truly remote areas where it may be logistically challenging or impractical to build radio towers.

How is any of the information random? The OP title says vague things like “makes history” and “ruling”. While you can guess that the ruling is positive based on it saying that it makes history, the headline on the article is unambiguous and much better in my opinion.

First South Asian country

This describes the manner in which this ruling was historical.

Recognize same-sex marriage.

This describes what the actual ruling is.

To use a hyperbole to illustrate a point, the OP title could just as well describe a situation where Nepal had ruled that same sex couples who marry must be banished to outer space. Hypothetically, It’s just as much a historical ruling as what actually happened.
