oranges,

Glad I made the switch back to FireFox a year or two ago. As a Dev, I was entrenched in Chrome and it wasn’t an easy move but with the path Google are currently treading around ad serving, blocking the ad blocks etc. I feel I made the right choice…

Caught by the Jaffa’s

I have converted over to Linux for a huge portion of my work flow but there is still the 20% I either can’t efficiently replicate or there is just not the software I need.

Where possible I choose to work outside of Microsoft, Google and Apple but to keep a roof over one’s head, I must endure too.

oranges,

They are good times indeed… Good times…

Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I...

oranges,

Literally have not been back since I decided to leave before the blackout.

Considering incised to spen hours a day s rolling that place, I haven’t missed it and just moved on. 12years or more I was a regular contributor and viewer and quit cold turkey style :)

oranges,

I technically started with Steam Deck and finally took the plunge of partitioning my daily driver to install Linux Mint back a few weeks ago.

No regrets…

I’m a developer (web app predominantly ) and find I can use it for about 80% - 85% of my daily workflow. Things I miss and can’t substitute are mainly around image editing / vector editing where GIMP and InkScape are just not there for the way I work.

Loving my time with it and would highly recommend anyone on the fence take the dive and give Mint a go. It’s incredibly familiar the moment you boot it :)

oranges,

I’m currently using Libre Office and It honestly covers the full gamut for me. I haven’t once felt “man, where’s that option”.

It’s really solid and come a long way since I first used it !

oranges,

This hits the nail on the head… I can get by with GIMP or InkScape or Photopea but they don’t quite cut it when I have job going out worth a few grand I want all the tools, checks peace of mind of the locally installed app. I also find GIMP convoluted to achieve basic tasks. Even things like resizing images to canvas etc. Feels clunky by comparison to say Affinity Photo.

Either way, I can never get 100% away from the big boys as ultimately I have to test natively in Windows and Mac OS so it’s not the end of the World having to boot into Windows or Mac OS occassionally to undertake the tasks required :)

oranges,

Good old Google, never, ever fails to fucking disappoint !

oranges,

I have never understood people’s lack of ability to just move on.

Don’t like something, like seriously just move on, don’t like a post / comment, move on rinse and repeat.

You’re not going to like everything and you’re not going to agree with everyone, and you know what… That’s alright, it’s being human !

oranges,

This would seriously make my day if true.... I was a Boost junky until I decided to leave Reedit a few weeks back. Would love to have the same (or very similar UI and features) here for Lemmy !

oranges,

I didn't know they were planing a tablet and my Samsung has just about had it's day.... This could work out quite nicely!!

oranges,

This is seriously impressive...... I love it! I'm the director of a design agency as my day job and work with branding often. If someone hit me this as a client refresh or new brand option, I would be pumped. It's clever, memorable, current and fresh.

I don't know if it's the look Beehaw are going for (I don't know enough about the instance :) but this is strong enough to stand as primary brand mark for sure.

Only thing I would mention (which I think I have seen on the thread) is there may be some web accessibility issues on the colour contrast side of things, I would look to touch these up if it went into production.

You may be on the product side of things, but this is legit very accomplished work!

Kudos my dude..... An epic job ;)

oranges,

I genuinely love the internet some times ... Like what are you doing to protest again? You can hear the Reddit HQ - "Another sub has gone John Oliver guys !".

Seriously amusing stuff......

oranges,

Aye.... We're all on the Lemmy train now for sure :)

oranges,

I don't have an answer but I'm also quite interested to find out what kind of server specs are we talking to get off the ground? Would love to hear from someone that has recently started their own....

How much of an impact is the protest really having on Reddit?

I read The Verge's latest interview with Steve Huffman here and it seems as though the Reddit blackout is having little to no effect. It also seems as though the communities at large don't really care and will probably just use the official app or don't really know there are 3rd party ones. So it seems this will pass and be...

oranges,

Having been on Lemmy now for a few weeks it's really brought home to me how brand and bot driven Reddit had become.

I spend a few hours here a day and have yet to see a single post which subtly (or non subtly) includes branding.

It's really quite refreshing to just be among other people, our thoughts and opinions without being sold to.

Like the Reddit of yester year for sure......

oranges,

Thanks for this... I honestly thought it was a bug of sorts and commented as such somewhere below.

This is a pretty poor usability design decision and hope they reverse it.

oranges,

It's crazy that some people in these enormous subs pretty much run moderation as a full time job for nothing. Like I totally understand hobbies or contributing to something for the greater good, even I contribute where I can in the open source arena! But to religiously undertake a role like this daily just for the title of MOD is insane to me....

oranges,

This is the way I approach it too.... Enough hearts not to be one shot and down and that second stamina wheel is so welcome ! It's enough to do almost anything I need to paraglider wise / climbing wise etc.

oranges,

Choo Choo my friend, Choo Goddamn Choo!!!! :)

oranges,

Ha ha... Someone internally really needs to be like "dude, seriously shut up at this point you're just making it worse" .

There is nothing more amusing than someone with an enormouse ego making a complete cluster fuck of a situation.

oranges,

I have given up on Logic when dealing with clients.... Trying to figure out what they actually mean is never what they actually mean.

It seriously blows my mind that some of these people are like CEO status of huge companies. How they even function in every day society and remember to breath is beyond me.

oranges,

It needs to go straight back to Big Ben..... Great episode :)

oranges,

Seriously, this is epic...... Great work and thank you very much for sharing.

oranges,

I'm a fellow Sim Racer..... I used to frequent the sub daily prior to nuking my account a week or so ago. Would you mind sharing the new community you found? I'm yet to find a replacement on Lemmy :)
