What is better, offering that skin for a one-time price or putting it in a random box and selling a chance at getting the skin? Let’s say the regular price is $20. Now if the gambling gave a guarantee at around $25, it might be ethical because you could get the skin much earlier and “save” some money. But these companies aren’t doing that (at least not to my knowledge) because they are predatory and not ethical by nature. If they were, they would offer items for a one-time price AND the opportunity to gamble for it with a chance to get it much cheaper.
Do you use your phone a lot? I use mine for work a lot but I really want to try the new beta. I’m so worried something will break at the worst time while I’m working.
Past week was hella busy for me work-wise. I chickened out, didn’t want to risk anything when I’m so busy and so reliant on my phone.
My wife has an old SE or (maybe SE2?) laying around that I might try first. That’s probably the smartest thing for me to try right now. I hate being so reliant on a phone for work but it can’t be avoided.
I’m not sure if you’ve tried this PWA called Wefwef but it feels like a fully featured Apollo client for Lemmy already. You just go to the site and add it to your home screen. No beta to sign up for. No TestFlight link. Just add the PWA....
The only thing missing for me after testing for 2 days is the swipe to go back a screen. You need to reach ALLLLLL the way across to the left edge of the screen and drag it ALLLLLL the way to the right to go back to your feed from a post. In Apollo I had it configured to only need a swipe from about the middle of the screen to the right edge. It’s very hard for me to reach that far comfortably and my muscle memory is all messed up right now. I keep doing the short swipe and I upvote someone’s post instead. If they can add this I will be extremely happy.
Edit: Also, I just realized after posting this comment that Apollo also had a feature where you go forward and backward a screen by swiping left or right on the bottom section. Extremely useful as well.
I see a lot of comments from bootlickers on how the protests are dumb and stupid and dont work and engagement metrics are still holding but the quality of posts and comments has noticeably depreciated imo. So much so that whenever I visit the site Im actually shocked at how bad it is.
If you are usually a reddit lurker and are on here, it would be cool if you can try and engage with communities for a bit, just to try and get the ball rolling :)
Same, I’ve switched to Memmy almost entirely. Seems like a very active and driven dev. Lots of features and very polished in like 5 days or something crazy.

[OC] Bourbon aging under an art glass exhibit
Barrels of Maker’s Mark age under a gloriously colorful blown glass ceiling installation. From my trip to Kentucky this week.

18+ Would you take a cheap and effective once-a-day anti-aging pill? What if it were a suppository?
You can assume that for every day you take the pill you don’t age that day - if you skip it for a day you age by a day.
I weathered my skull mask and it came out great! Might do some more work to it later, but for now I am halpy with it. (lemmy.world)
The mask is going to be part of an undead king costume I am putting together! Can’t wait until it’s all done!
What would happen if caffeine was made illegal?
Caffeine must be one of, if not the, most used drug. It is vital to the operation of more or less every industry.
Change my view: loot boxes aren't as bad as people claim they are.
Inb4 “sense of accomplishment” I’m not taking about obviously predatory practices here, more of the basic stuff....

Eye glasses wearers in the US, where do you buy your glasses from these days?
I’ve been going to VisionWorks but I want to shop around this time. I don’t want to go to any Luxottica store....
My experience so far on Lemmy. (lemmy.world)
A technical disaster, but sure, I’ll keep coming back. Can’t wait to reminisce about the days when it was a technical disaster, though....

What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?
i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!

Does anybody feel like the quality of reddit has already dropped massively?

What makes Lemmy feel like home (lemmy.world)
I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?
Please don't ask why I need this....
I'd like to encourage people on the fediverse to comment/upvote/post more than when reddit

Working on a native iOS app for Lemmy. Finally far enough along to share some teasers. Post your feature requests!

What do you all use for password management?
I'm using KeePass currently, since I don't really want to use anything publicly hosted. But I was curious to see what other people have been using!
It's great to see this community again !

It can go one of a few ways....
