As with other things in the fediverse, discoverability is pretty ass. It's a bit easier on Lemmy to find something you're looking for than it is, say, to find interesting people to follow on mastodon, but it's still not great. And often, you'll find multiple communities on the same topic and you have to try to figure out which one looks like it will be better down the road (communities are still pretty dead and empty, so you can't tell now which might be better). In addition to that, the interfaces for interacting with Lemmy are pretty rough at the moment, though that's not surprising.

So do I like it? Enh… I'd say it's a 4/10 right now with promise of getting better. Will it? Who knows?

I honestly couldn’t care less. Open source is not and never has been a differentiator for me when it comes to software, much less a requirement.

not only is it like reddit, its better

Enh…

The child in that case is not the user (or at least not the owner). The user is the parent who configures the phone as they choose and loans it to the child. It's no different than Apple allowing a business to configure a MacBook as they choose, including tools to monitor its usage, and then offering that computer to one of their employees. The owner of the device gets to choose the privacy settings, not necessarily the end user.

I scanned through the comments here and I don’t think it’s been mentioned yet, but I would love, love, love to have an option added to settings to open links in a new tab (or possibly windows if some people would prefer that). The current behavior is to open in the current tab, which I am so unaccustomed to I keep closing the tab when I’m done with it rather than hitting the back arrow.

It’s quite jarring to not open in a new tab these days, especially for external links.

A work-around-ish is to quickly scroll to the bottom and hit next to jump to the second page and start browsing from there. Everytime you hit "next" after that, you'll see some repetition from where the new posts loaded and pushed content down, but it's not a live update like on the first page.

But yeah, they really need to push the update out that fixes this problem.

And imagine, if bike commuting was commonplace, we could all be having those kinds of interactions all the time.

Ugh. Now you've got me rethinking bike commuting.

Absolutely! Good luck with the community!

Thanks for the heads-up. Subscribed.

Yeah. I remember my friend and I running out to buy hard drives when the price dropped to $1/MB. We never thought they'd get that cheap.

So did the editors at Awful Announcing write that incredibly nuance-free headline intentionally? Because if not, they should probably reread their own article and do a bit of self-reflection.

Also in today’s announcement, Apple introduced a new section called “Podcasts by Language,” allowing users in the U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia to more easily find podcasts based on language, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Chinese and Korean.

It seems silly that they have so few languages available in the Podcasts by Language section.

Even if they just processed the associated text of their podcasts with NLLanguageRecognizer to get a likely classification that users could search for for likely hits it seems like it would be better than what they have now.

Man, I barely remember what I ate for breakfast…

But it had to be somewhere in the 1988-1992 range. I'm trying to remember if I was still in high school or in college by that point.

Safari, because it never gave me a reason to look for alternatives.
