I'm definitely going to be using it more often. The official Reddit app is so bad that Sync being for something else is enough to make me move.
It has ads unless you pay to remove the ads, which is a perfectly reasonable model for an app to use.
Personally, I'm stoked for the graphical update. It doesn't seem massive, but it's firmly in "makes the game look like your imagination thinks it does" territory, which'll help a lot with screenshots and - I think - the way that they direct their cutscenes. Being able to actually do close-ups without losing all fidelity will be a boon.
You know when you see a game that doesn't interest you in the slightest but you know will make a billion dollars? I'm feeling that.
I really appreciate how you structured these rules. Simple enough to remember, sensible enough to keep the conversation clean. Moderator discretion can be frustrating, but it's a lot better than finding out that your post got deleted because it didn't fit some arcane law that was hidden away on a sixth-layer wiki page.
No, of course not. If you're using Lemmy as a "protest" instead of thinking that it's a better platform, it's totally ineffectual and you'll go back to using Reddit sooner or later. Personally, I think that the fediverse is a more compelling idea than the traditional internet, so I'm sticking with Lemmy for a bit in one form or another.
Cool. Great, even. Man, we're fucked.
I'm not opposed to this, though I generally think that the move towards awards overcomplicated the site. It was better when it was just Gold and there was a simple tracker to say how many days of server time had been paid for.
That's exciting. The larger these unions get, the easier it'll be for other other workers to feel encouraged to unionize themselves. It seems like this is the biggest one yet, at least in terms of cache - I hope this makes waves.
I have a similar complaint about almost all "gamer gear" having RGB lighting. Why would I want that? I'm not even opposed to the "gamer" aesthetic of a lot of sharp lines and strong colors, I think that can look really good, but when my mousepad has RGB it's time to blow the whistle and stop all manufacturing until we can figure out what's going on.
I have high hopes for Lemmy, but I don't think that having a lot of users is going to be a super positive thing in the long term. It'd be great if it could feel like younger Reddit for longer than younger Reddit did, you know? Stay at least a little under the radar.
You can still say that about AI. What people are calling "AI" now is closer to Cleverbot than true AGI.
