So this really doesn’t alleviate any concerns for Steam. They too might be just 2 CEO changes away from sending their users to hell.

I’m in the same boat: Hollow Knight frustrated me so much that I never finished it, even though I really liked the lore and the world and the non-boss fights. Celeste on the other hand might be even “harder”, but as you respawn on every screen literally instantly, you can fail and retry hard parts a hundred times until you make it.

When you do a rewrite you want to create the same product as before just with better code / architecture. That’s not what Wayland tries to do.

Absolutely, Outlook.com is by far the worst in this regard. I stopped running my own mail server a few years ago because it was just unbearable.

But there is a separator between the numbers: the same one that also very reliably separates the words in this comment

I envy you for not having played Disco Elysium yet. Hope you find the time soon :)

So it was all just a marketing stunt to get in the news? Look how much our employees LOVE the Game pass, you should get one, too!

I generally like awards, but on Reddit I’ve completely ignored them on posts. It was just too many of them.

I liked the awards for comments though, as they helped pick out comments from the bottomless pit. Not really a problem on Lemmy yet…

Yeah, such a weird editorialization - it’s a huge trade-off, making such a feature completely unacceptable for me personally.

I subscribed to YouTube Premium a few days ago, after being a long-time Spotify subscriber. It really does seem like a viable alternative… except for the lack of something like Spotify connect. I can’t even control the playback on my computer or TV from my phone. It’s like every YouTube Music device is on their own, knowing nothing about the others. With Spotify I could seamlessly continue the playback of the song I was listening to in my car on my phone and later on the smart speaker in my apartment.

I cannot decide on an adequate message to overwrite my comments with…

Very nice! I’m currently on chromium so I can’t use it – but it’s one more reason to switch back to Firefox :)

It’s just an ideological thing or out of fear what the future brings. The new owner is a data mining company, so I was expecting updates with ads or tracking any day. Glad to hear it hasn’t happened though!

That sounds super useful! Does it also change www.reddit.com/… to the archived OLD.reddit.com version? Those seem to work much better, yet most Google results are to the new interface.

I’ve switched from Nova Launcher (after their aquisition) to lawnchair launcher and it’s been a good replacement for me. Similar feature set and I’m not really missing much, so I’m fine with the slow development.

Hey RickyRigatoni, nice to meet you :)

This is exactly why I think many comments on Reddit miss the point when they state that “Lemmy will fail because it’s way too complicated for mass adoption”. Maybe not every Reddit participant has to join Lemmy. Maybe it’s good that there is a (small!) hurdle to overcome, that does not exclude or discriminate against anyone, but simply requires a tiny bit of effort.

I think it’s quite good, but the hierarchy of information needs improvement.

E.g. while reading a post and its comments, for me the most important information on the whole site are the post title, content and maybe author/upvotes. For the comments it would be the comment itself, the author and the upvotes (very helpful to see if it’s worthwhile to read a long comment). Yet currently my eye is constantly drawn to bright HUGE green and red buttons (subscribe, create a post, sorting, random network stats, …). The upvote count of comments is not only in a smaller font, but also in a lighter gray. It’s also far away from the actual upvote buttons, so it’s really hard to discover their meaning.

I don’t think it would need huge changes, much less a ‘redesign’ to improve on those points :)

I personally see the small userbase of lemmy as an advantage as well. Reddit is too popular now, it’s full of karma-farming bots and commercialized, mass-appealing content. Those things are worthwhile on sites with millions of users, but not here. We just need enough active users to get things going. The app devs of Reddit clients might be of great help.
