I'm pretty fond of these little Velcro straps I got from Amazon that are like 10cm x 30cm, you use them to push all your computer cables into them so you can neaten them up. I've got several of them strapped back to back and it's a pretty decent solution (and being Velcro you can just pull it apart later on)

Always good to see more people looking into platforms besides Twitter, plenty of great places out there

Gonna be so much YouTube drama from this one down the track, love watching a shit show unfold 🍿

I thought the selling point behind most Twitter like services is that it’s focused on negative positioning. E.g. things that are negative focused get more attention and engagement

Yeah that’s the most brazen part. They’re more than happy to pull in a dozen set of fees, but cry when they have to clearly list them so people aren’t taken advantage of. This is the type of rubbish that the “free market” produces and why there needs to be some level of government oversight.

Lots of upcoming bug fixes and improvements for kbin. It’s been a slow process but super keen to get them out finally

The vast majority of comments in here seem to be focused on the attitude of “why you trying to start shit”

But legitimately from an outside presiding perspective, which instances have people found to be decent, there seems to be a heap of Lemmy instances, each with their own rules and vibes, so what’s the go?

The sentiment feels on point however, that this users experience with Firefox has been poor and issues flagged have not resolved in an eternity. I’ve definitely felt similar exhaustion with other systems.

PayPal can just up and freeze your account at any moment, keeping all of your money locked away. I’ve read of several ebay sellers who’ve used PayPal before and ran into Issues when trying to withdraw. If I wouldn’t trust them with regular payments, why would they be anymore appealing as a crypto coin?

I’d also say the brand reputation has taken a pretty decent hit with their awful handling of the situation. With an upcoming IPO you think they would have handled it carefully but they just seemingly YOLO’d it

Reddit was always going to rebound eventually, it’s got a massive userbase and can pull through a fair number of people leaving. I’m pretty happy with the amount of free time I’ve won back since I’ve stopped doom scrolling Reddit.

Pretty keen to see how the fediverse improves over time.

The reasoning is so clear and obvious that it doesn’t require any sources apparently. Just go ask these people yourself who are doing this to find out why 🙄

It’s one of the newest D&D like games out there, so UI wise it’s probably one of the best to start on. But there are other similar games (e.g. Pathfinder Kingmaker / Pathfinder Wrath of the righteous) that I’d start on first.

Both of those last two we’re a great overall introduction into what TRPGs can be like

Great to see baulders gate 3 doing well. A perfect storm of development conditions and we get rewarded at the end of it with a fantastic game. Hopefully heaps of extra extra content down the track to keep it going

For 99 bucks there better be a great bed, amenities and other hotel like services. What a joke

That’s not a helpful statement, just a deflection to a legitimate question. Where are the parents and why are they not here also making the crossing

What are these buoys and how are they used to deter migrants?

People hear from others that Lemmy is the place you go and when searched for you end up here. Having registrations closed doesn’t sound like a great idea when most people have no idea about the fediverse

Perfectly fair. People coming from Reddit specifically need to be eased into the fediverse and saying “whoops sorry we’re full / closed” isn’t great.

Ideally if we want things balanced people should be on multiple instances but I’d rather several slower, bigger instances in the meantime until the community expands.

Cheers for the work you guys do!

Typical for Australia though tbh, getting the shit end of the deal
