Caught by the Jaffa’s
I have converted over to Linux for a huge portion of my work flow but there is still the 20% I either can’t efficiently replicate or there is just not the software I need.
Where possible I choose to work outside of Microsoft, Google and Apple but to keep a roof over one’s head, I must endure too.
Yes… Melted on anything…
Literally have not been back since I decided to leave before the blackout.
Considering incised to spen hours a day s rolling that place, I haven’t missed it and just moved on. 12years or more I was a regular contributor and viewer and quit cold turkey style :)
It’s good to know I’m not alone… I buy a lot of games and have a huge catalogue over a number of systems. It really is the thing I enjoy most as downtime.
However, I can count on one hand how many title screens I have seen over the last 5 years. I get so far, lose interest, move on. Several months later I will feel like playing again, wipe the save and start over rinse and repeat.
Games that keep calling me back however are Skyrim, Fallout 4 and the Bioshock trilogy.
Gerally it’s decent… I don’t use it anywhere near as much as I used Reddit but I’m not sorry to see the back of that place.
It can be a little buggy sometimes, responses dont post or further posts fail to load. I think the lack of consistency is whynim using it less at the moment but overall, happy chappy :)

The older I get, the more I fucking hate obnoxiously loud cars… It was like a switch that went off in my head when I hit the 35-40yrs old mark.
Pumping base tunes from said vehicle is additional hate.
That a Welsh username by chance?
And yea, thoroughly depressing… I find the situation similar to the old micro transaction / shit game port situation where the masses couldn’t care less and the small minority rebel and have little to no effect.
Sadly those that care about these things are generally grossly outweighed by those that couldn’t give a toss. I haven’t been back to Reddit for 4-5 weeks now and as a very early Reddit adopter I thought the break would be harder than what it has been. I have mentioned in a few posts here that the most surprisong thing to me is how often I was being served subtle ads guised in the form of content on Reddit. In 4 weeks or more I don’t think I have seen a brand as such mentioned on Lemmy yet with Reddit it was legit every dozen posts. I knew this went on, but it took a week or so on Lemmy for me to realise the actual extent of it…
Good riddance to the place, Lemmy feels like the early doors of the internet and I’m quite comfortable here :)
Sweet Jesus is that true?? We really are living in a dystopian nightmare!
I hear you… it’s a killer isn’t it.
The number of times I have made a rod for my own back with clients… “Yea, I’ll add that I’m for you no problem”…
The famous last words.
The can of worms opens and a few rounds of crisis of confidence and tears later, eventually get there and think, I’m keeping my mouth shut from here on in.
Rinse and repeat :)
MSN was a blast… I can’t say I used Gooey or Odigo they don’t ring a bell :)
I remember eventually progressing into IRC relay chat (the app I used to use was called MIRC) and that was a blast.
I remember the first time talking to someone on MSN and they were in America. I’m not exaggerating when I say it blew my mind ! I could reach out and speak to someone that far away almost instantaneously. It was and still is phenomenal to me. So much so I eventually changed careers to become a developer :)
Given the general state of AAA releases this generation, that’s pretty safe money.
They should have by then patched it enough so it plays like it should have on day one and you snag it for half the price.
Patient gaming is the way !
Honestly, I’m really enjoying it and no regrets on making the switch.
Initially took a few moments for the penny to drop with the regards to the different instances etc. But using the Jerboa app is not a million miles away from the app I used to use for Reddit (Boost).
Just incredibly glad to have an alternative.
Ahhh good old Napster I forgot about that one… Waiting hours to download a full track only for someone to answer the phone part way through.
The glory days :)
Ahhh gotcha and understandable.
I’m fortunate that I work for myself and kind of pick and choose the clients and jobs I work with. It’s nothing too taxing and I generally build higher level functionality into websites that sort of thing :)
Keeps the wolves from the door and food on the table !
You can count me in that age group too… I was there for the very first dial up, ICQ, Messenger, Kaza and the rest of it.
Shut my account on Reddit a few days back and have not been back since. Can’t recall how many years I was there but it’s easily 10+.
You left the fold!! What did you move into if you don’t mind me asking :)
Was finding it a little confusing and wasn’t sure if multiples were required.
Thanks for the explanation, much appreciated ;)
Ha ha… Nice ! Image didn’t load without a click, it was risky but a lot better than what I braved myself for :)
They are good times indeed… Good times…
