It's very unlikely that Lemmy will ever be as big as Reddit, but this influx might have it reach a tipping point where it can start to grow users organically.

Yeah, you're right. The actual quote is subscriptions, not subscribers.

“We are happy to report that we had an all-time revenue record in Services during the June quarter, driven by over 1 billion paid subscriptions, and we saw continued strength in emerging markets thanks to robust sales of iPhone,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.

I was just trying to be helpful. Some people might not know you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard to the device.

I don't know of any system that does a better job of typing with a controller than the Steam Deck with the touch pads. Granted, I'm not a console gamer so I have no idea what typing on the current gen Xbox or PlayStation is like, but I can't imagine it's better than the Steam Deck.

ITT: people that don't know what completely harmless means

Oh fuck, is PoE supposed to be free? I've spent like $1000 on it in the last 10 years in cosmetics, stash tabs, and character slots.

Umm... No? There is no correlation between quality of user and their willingness to trudge through a bad UX.

my options are either to buy my own laptop and work somewhere else when I need to get work done or make a partition/new user on my desktop that's strictly for work

1000% option 1. You need to have a work space that is only for work and nothing else. Get the laptop and set it up in a room far away from any other devices(TV, desktop, etc).

It better be! I spent millions on jpgs of monkeys! /s

Test comment. Everyone please reply.

Players say what they want to do. DM tells them to roll dice. DM tells them what happens depending on the dice roll.

Replying from Lemmy. 👋 Not the norm over here either. I wonder if there is just some weird sync issue happening?

Lemmy communities have public Mod Logs so even if a thread was removed I don't think it's gone forever.

Honestly, for me, Lemmy just feels better than Reddit. It has more content that I am actually interested and community seems better.

I lurked on Reddit. I think I have posted here more in the last 2 weeks than I even did on Reddit

Maybe to 3 or 4, but I don't think their brains are developed enough for more than that.

I made an account for memes and stuff. Then a more professional account. I'll probably make a porn account at some point, but not while the big porn instances are allowing loli and shit on their instance.

I worked for several years in IT fields from help desk to sysadmin. I'm now a Sr. Software Engineer.

I somewhat disagree. With containerization like Docker our system is pretty simple. However, there are lot more bootcamp developers that learned to code in 12 weeks which are going to know a lot less than those with a Bachelors or higher in the field.

I have tried so many times to use Twitter(before Musk) and it never clicked with me. I have been on Reddit for over a decade. I like the idea of the fediverse but will it be able to hit the critical mass needed to actually replace Twitter and Reddit?

You can gleen some(or a lot) from using a packet analysis tool like Wireshark(it's been a decade since I've done anything like that, there may be better tools on the market).

Most kids TV is just mindless repetitive garbage. Bluey is actually just genuinely, good, well-written TV. I've heard people say that it's not really a kid's show that parents like to watch, it's a parent show that kids also like to watch.

Honestly surprised it lasted as long as it did, especially during the release of TotK

I'm sexually attracted to steam.
