Thank you for the transparancy!

I really like that name. Way better than Earthporn. Thank you for sharing, I subscribed!

Those are great names! I would subscribe to more communities with names like that.

Wait, so you're telling me that there are no vending machines in the ocean that are preying on people swimming in the water?

You can't login on another instance, but you can interact with them from your own instance.

See it as email: I could be using Gmail and you could be using Outlook, but we can still interact with eachother. We cab send emails to eachother. But when I want to send you an email I'm not going to use the Outlook website because you happen to use Outlook. I use Gmail and so my account is on the Gmail servers. So I login on the Gmail website to send you that email.

It's a reference to an old reddit post. In the post, the OP explained they had a knife at their toilet for poop that got stuck, hence the poopknife. It was only later in life when they asked a friend for their "poop knife", when they discovered that nobody else has a knife like that and how weird it is.

No, karma is a big contributer to the lesser experience that Reddit offers, while giving nothing useful in return

I think your respons was very good. You put them into the same position as they did to you, without actually being an asshole about it. The "friend" that knew about your autism, yet says these kind of things about autism while you're there and gets mad when you try to tell them how it made you feel, doesn't sound like a friend to me. They sound like a self-obsessed asshole that wants empathy from others, but isn't empathic to others. I could be wrong, I don't know them. They could have had a heavy reaction because theg freaked out becausr they got called out in a relatable way. That wouldn't make their response okay, but could be forgivable if they genuinly apologized. If not, fuck them.

About the other friend: if you're close with them you could try to explain how it made you feel and what you struggle with. See how they repond. They might just be uneducated. But if they don't respond undersranding/apologetic, you might want to rethink your relationship with them.

As they should. The earlier you start with scripting, the more time you can save by spending hours on writing a script that saves 2 seconds of time.

Thunder had been my favorite Lemmy app for a while now. I've tried others and some have a lot of potential, but Thunder is the app that does most things the way I like it. Congrats on the launch!

I keep switching apps all the time. Right now, I'm trying out Wefwef vs Thunder. They are very similar and I really like both. However, I think I slightly prefer Thunder. It feels a little bit more fluent to me, as it is a native app and it comes with a few more options, like being able to put the thumbnail on the right. I really like that because now I can open pictures without opening the comments. It also does a few things a little bit more sensible in my opinion, esspecially the back button. For instance, in Thunder the back button does what I expect it to do. But in Wefwef It is a bit buggy as it often goes back on the background, without closing a full screen image first. The theming also feels a but more at home on Android, while still being very similar.

Both are great options though and both have it's pro's and cons. I'm also trying out Pulse for Squabbles (so not Lemmy), which is also very neat and very similar. Makes the experiences a bit more consistent.

I'm also waiting for both Sync and Boost. I'm really curious in how both of those Ferdiverse versions turn out.

Yes, it does have a microSD card slot. The website isn't the most clear website ever, but if you click on "Specifications" and then "See all specifications" everything will be shown, including a MicroSD card slot

I think being categorized as an alternative to a platform is based on it's functionality, not the way you pay for it. It's about what purpose it has to the user.

Besides that, you pay for Youtube as well, but with your data and maybe YT Premium.

I wish for AP to have RSS feeds, but they don't. I think they and Reuters are aome of the better outlets out there and I've been (re)discovering RSS lately, but AP is one of the few news outlets that don't seem to support it :(

I would love a Sync for Lemmy!

You're scaring me! Just the thought of having a swim and then suddenly hearing a bag of chips getting stuck behind a glass panel sends shivers down my spine.

That's completely normal, and a large portion of people here in Europe would do the same as you do. There is this saying where "people in North America life to work, people in Europe work to life". Because who cares if you make more money if you barely have the time to actually enjoy it?

Not trying to say one continent is better than the other, but it is a very clear difference in work-life balance mentality.

I think a LoRaWAN based tracker might be perfect for you. I've been keeping an eye on the Loko myself:

It looks great! How much were the total costs? I'm considering building something similar

I don't think it's particular the main stream of Reddit that is protesting, it is indeed a small percentage. However, I think the discussion in the recent Waveform Podcast hits the nail on the head:

That small percentage that left Reddit are the people that care most about Reddit. Those are the powerusers. The users that generally contribute most to the platform, be that in the form of content, informative comments, moderation, writing tools or other stuff. It's the people that are most valueble to the website. When those people leave there might others might not notice it instantly, but after a while the overall experience will deteriate somehow.

It is somewhat comparable to if when many of the big youtubers were to leave Youtube after bad management. They might be only 1% of the people uaing Youtube, but they are also the people that are important to the website for the experience of the other 99%.
