Ooh, I’d never heard of Elk before. Just checked it out and it’s really nice — might have to make it my web client now. Thank for sharing!

Maybe there are a few examples of this, but in general this is just a blatant lie.

I’ve never been much of a Christmas person. But 2020-2022 were the most Christmasy I’ve ever felt (probably because we were at home and decided to embrace with a tree and roast dinner etc it rather than our usual travelling holiday).

Now that we’re fully back to our old lifestyle, I don’t even notice that it’s Christmas/end of year until someone brings it up.

I don’t necessarily miss the memes, and a lot of the jokes would get repeated to death because everyone wanted their chance to say them, but I do find some of the Lemmy communities I follow can be kinda self-serious at times. I guess with a larger audience (Reddit), there was just more room for a joke or meme to land without derailing the thread or annoying people.

Cool, I’ll give that a watch when I get a chance. Thanks for sharing.

Damn, you’re deep into the fediverse. Thanks for sharing.

Haha, unfortunately I’m not much of a Star Trek fan so I can’t answer that one.

What platforms are you on? Anything outside of Mastodon and Lemmy?

I agree on the Twitter-style social media thing. I almost never used Twitter in all the years it existed, so I also don’t really post on Mastodon much. I used Instagram to share photography with friends/family overseas and so Pixelfed could potentially be of value to me, but I understand not using it if you never used Insta in the first place.

As for Lemmy/Reddit, I think the quality of content heavily depends on what your interests are. There’s plenty of good content for certain subjects (e.g. tech stuff) but I find Lemmy is sorely lacking in other areas, and so you tend to lose out on some of the diversity of opinion that made Reddit so good (or at least good to me). That’s largely been my issue with Lemmy overall and I think why I don’t use it as much as I used to use Reddit — a lot of the stuff just isn’t there yet, or if there is a community there might only be like 3 people posting.

So basically anything that not the extreme east or west or south becomes midweast?

I lived in the States for five years and I still don’t really get what Americans mean when they say the midwest. I guess that’s partly because Americans also don’t know, so you never get the same explanation twice.

On the off chance that this isn’t just a troll post, what were you hoping to do that you couldn’t figure out? Macs are incredibly flexible and capable computers that do waaaay more than iOS devices are capable of. The OS and hardware obviously still have their limits, but if you’re running into actual limitations then you’ve likely already far exceeded what your phone can do.

My guess would be that once we start hitting walls with USB C, there’ll likely be a consortium or group of companies that come together to propose a new standard and propose/lobby for govts to add update the existing laws with that as another option of connector.

More difficult for companies than just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, but overall less of a shitty experience for consumers.

Ah, gotcha. I don’t think it would be that hard to change to new connectors. Now that laws are coming in, they can simply update those laws when it’s time for a new standard. USB C still has many years of headroom left, and the benefits of standardising connectors vastly outweigh the problems (at least in my opinion).

Sure, and I’m going to guess they probably did that here. I doubt this is going to cause that much frustration, it’s still a big red button that’s easy to see.

Huh?

And so no buttons should ever be allowed to move? That would be insane.
