I’d say it’s the intention.

Lemm.ee was my first fedi home. It will never be forgotten.

I suffer in these summers, but I still prefer this suffering to the winter. Winter is too depressing. Christmas is about all that is nice about Winter.

I was not aware how long the sync was in beta. Damn.

It actually can sync, using Nextcloud. But when I tried to use it it the sync acted up every once in a while.

Everyone has whatsapp and not signal is pretty much the gist of it

Interesting question! I think if you go to the core ideas, escape and imagination.

Never really thought about it, but I guess it takes me to the time when I played as a kid, thinking up these worlds and stuff.

Wow, well, with such a property at your disposal that doesn’t sound as bad as it first did.

Are there activities with which you compensate this? What do you do for fun?

I went with Mint and it is great. Gives me Windows 98 vibes, inca good way. It is really intuitive.

You will need the terminal only for some more advanced stuff and maybe some setup steps, like getting Proton VPN. You really just copy and paste the commands Proton has in their instructions, that’s it. Mint is not officially supported but works fine - only issue I have is that while it launches on startup just fine, I have to connect manually. Support wouldn’t help as Mint is “not officially supported” but that’s about it.

Switching to Linux looks like a monumental task at first, but once you establish a beginer friendly distro you’d like to use it’s really straightforward. I can vouch for Mint in this regard.

It’s not that I try to ne hardcore. Reddit was alright, but I felt subconciously it is going to shit for some time. But I liked the format, so I stayed. The API fiasco just showed the really bad face of it (mainly how it was handled) and made an opportunity for people to talk more about alternatives. Sure, Lemmy doesn’t have as much stuff as Reddit, especially for more niche topics but I enjoy my stay much more.

I peeked in a couple of times but not for long.

You can use the export feature via the web, as others said. It will also carry over your saved posts and comments in addition to what the other guys said. But not your post and comment history. If you have some you’d like ti return to I’d recommend saving those and then exporting.

Yes, but what isnthe prize? Is the prize real? Or is it just a construct that we imagine because we expect it? Can you even truly experience the prize?

There were also cases of people adopting gods. Just going “hey, this god you worship is cool, going to worship the god as well”

I do hope you forgot to include the /s…

Rats are awesome pets. If only they lived longer.

Though I will concede, surprise wild rats would be problematic.

As a child, has to be Diablo 2. I had no idea what I was doing but I had fun. And it got me into reading, actually. I read some books now and then, but wasn’t an avid reader. But when I played Diablo 2, I found out there are books from the Diablo world and got one. I remember when I got home I was like “ok, since I got the book I will read one chapter and then go to playing” - well I didn’t turn on the PC for 3 days until I have finished the book. And then went to get more.

Another was World of Warcraft (though I was not exactly a kid by then). It made me fall in love with MMOs, a genre which I still love (though no game holds me today quite as WoW did - still hope for one though). And thanks to it I got to know people I’m friends with to this day.

Applies to a certain region? I see it full price…

Thunder too
