When Firefox announced that a ton of their add-ons/extensions were coming to the mobile app, it got me to switch from chrome after almost 15 years.

You can still be hyper critical of a product you use. I rely on tons of Google services and also use a pixel, but that doesn't stop me from being disappointed in their behavior at large when it seems like the leadership is allergic to making the easy winning decisions.

The realistic alternative is Apple and frankly fuck that.

Extra Punctuation was the slower, slightly longer format videos that were more musing about broad industry trends and gaming history. It was great.

That's incorrect. The administration worked with that union to meet their demands after the initial pause of the strike. That part didn't get nearly as much news traffic as the first part though.

I am down for politics returning to being boring.

This is really fascinating to me. It would be interesting to see each country set up their own Mastodon/Lemmy/Kbin/other federated systems and have those instances constantly talk to each other. Like others have commented, It seems like a great way to keep the communication style and interaction of twitter/facebook, while also protecting the validity of the information through private instances. Really smart decision.

I've had mine for 5 years. I wanted an EV and at that time (in the US) there really was no option even remotely close with the combination of range, charging convenience and technology.

Elons downfall sometimes makes me slightly embarrassed to be associated to it in any way, but its still a great car, not perfect but great. 5 years and I've had to replace a set of tires, wiper blades and fluid, and 2 sets of cabin air filters. That's it.

Its popular to hate on Elon and its rightly deserved but come the fuck on.

A little intimidating at first but after finding a decent mobile app (connect) and following a few communities I think I'm getting it. The whole federation and indexing is really interesting to me and eventually I could see myself hosting a small instance.

As someone who is currently tutoring computer science courses for college, I think you greatly over estimate the average computer users ability to navigate a place like Reddit, let alone Lemmy. Most people I tutor for intro classes struggle to understand a file browser. Even for me Lemmy was slightly intimidating with how it jumps to the whole open source/ chose an instance thing before I could make an account.

Lemmy will need a basic app before it really jumps to the main stream.

The absolutely childish gaming default posts of "hidden gems" that aren't hidden, "ain't much but it's mine" and stale ass memes. Stuff like that makes my eyes roll. Not just the default gaming sub but it started to creep into most places.
