This one is probably out of date now with smart TVs and few people using cable, but one of those jumbo TV remotes for people with poor eyesight/motor difficulties.

Spoken like someone who hasn’t had to use both!

I miss that ringtone though.

It’s like email! You know email?

Especially when sites like Reddit/StackExchange use admin to mean employee and moderator to mean volunteer community leader.

I could’ve sworn Proton used e2e encryption (with other proton users I suppose) and that was part of why it didn’t integrate well with third party tools. But yes, even if it is, the majority of people/services that you email aren’t e2e encrypted so it’s very important to remember.

I feel you, but Mastodon has about 9 million users and BlueSky has 15 million (if the first results from a search index are to be trusted), but I could not find anywhere even close to 60% of the people in this hobby on Mastodon as I have on BlueSky.

There was a very concentrated push recently of artists (I think it was artists originally) to go to BlueSky and it’s sort of echoed into similarish hobbies. So that’s probably why the user makeup is a little different.

It doesn’t ruin the analogy at all because you’d still need to plant apple trees to make an orchard! It’s just that apples aren’t true to seed so apple trees you plant give nasty apples. It’s more of a fun fact about apples lol.

I’m on Lemmy essentially 99% of the time. When I’m on Reddit it’s because of niche hobbies that have more presence there. It’s very rare. (Or search index results.)

I never use Mastodon. I was only on Twitter for very niche and interactive hobbies that do not have enough people to engage with on Mastodon. I mostly use BlueSky now but still use Twitter on occasion. It’s like 50/50 at the moment, but that’s a lot considering my BlueSky account is only like two weeks old.

Lemmy has enough content to keep me entertained for general browsing and most of my hobbies.

I’m pretty sure you get warnings trying to delete system32.

Edit: And I mean beyond the standard UAC pop-up.

Don’t even get me started on planking.

As if people stopped saying cis het would somehow reduce bigotry.

In the example you give in the OP, it’s relying on the guess that it would be unlikely that Kamala wins and Tesla goes up OR that Kamala loses and Tesla goes down. Those were still possible outcomes though.

Me reading this like “Noooo, if you plant Awesome Amy Apples you won’t get Awesome Amy Apples, you have to graft Awesome Amy Apples branches onto existing apple trees to get Awesome Amy Apples!”

Options trading is very much more like gambling than traditional buying/selling stocks.

Not enough people on Mastodon are into the things I was using Twitter/use BlueSky for.

For me there weren’t enough people on Mastodon in my hobby to make it worthwhile.

I use(d) Twitter for niche interactive hobbies that didn’t have enough people on Mastodon to engage with.

I really dislike it. Maybe the newer versions are better but there were some very confusing details about the actions and you can’t really ask without letting people know your secret objective. Plus, if a newer player is randomly assigned betrayer mid game? Good luck helping them without reading their rules.

Some professors are just so wack… Like, if I copy your notes verbatim I’m also “stealing” your intellectual property just as much as taking a photo.
