I've always referred to Reddit and other forum type sites as "anti-social media".
Nobody's here to gain clout. Nobody's here to get more followers. Nobody's here to try and be famous.
We're here because it's anonymous (if you want it to be), and because it's fundamentally different from mainstream social networking sites.
Not really. Baldur's Gate is a Dungeons and Dragons based isometric game (camera like Diablo) from the late 90s-early 00s. You control multiple characters at a time and issue orders to attack, use magic, use items, etc. It's much more RPG oriented than Skyrim or other fast-paced ARPGs of today.
I WISH we had taxpayer funded healthcare in the USA. Sadly, we do not so I'm not sure your point is valid.
A shorter than 40 hour work week would be the biggest draw.
According to a study conducted by Zippia.com (1,000 full-time workers), the average worker is only productive for a little over 4 hours per day, with productivity capping out at 6 hours. This article on studyfinds.org references another 2,000 employee study done by OnePoll (no link given) that says "A new survey finds office workers are at their most productive by 10:22 a.m. each morning — but start to slump by 1:27 p.m."
Letting employees who commute to the office every day work 30 hours per week instead of 40 would be a HUGE draw for a lot of people. Less traffic on the commute, less "fluff" time where you're not doing anything, time to take care of personal errands during the week while businesses are still open, and I'm sure other benefits.
I thought the same, but it looks like there's actually quite a few nicer options for cheaper
I think I've seen news rumors that they're testing an ad-free YouTube-only plan that doesn't include YouTube Music. (edit: https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/2/22605455/youtube-premium-lite-pilot-benelux-nordics-experiment-ad-free-subscription)
But the reason you're seeing $18.99/mo is because of the Apple tax. Go to https://www.youtube.com/premium to see the actual price.
Brother, the general population in Arkansas is not even smart enough to change their Wi-Fi password, let alone use a VPN.
It was an event where one user can change the color of a single pixel at a time, choosing from a predefined color palette. There was a cooldown on how often you were allowed to color a pixel, 5 minutes or something, I don't remember.
It was a fun way for communities to band together and draw pixel art over the course of a week or so. It was fun the first time because it was spontaneous and there weren't very many bots, if any. After that, it was just a competition of who paid for the most bot accounts so they could camp a space to keep a clear picture. Completely lost its draw IMO (no pun intended).
Gaben will die at some point
I won't allow it.
I look forward to reading many posts here.
Sorry didn't mean to make it sound like you HAVE to do it. You only need to complete around 75% of each chapter's objectives for it to be considered "completed". 9/11, 9/12, 6/8, etc.
The 10,000 seeds objective in the last part is definitely going to be easier than reaching level 100 or killing Uber Lilith though.
This is my problem. I want to use Lemmy over Reddit, but there's just not a diverse enough population to find the content I want about niche topics. Bundle that with the same 3-4 "tech company bad", "CEO bad", or "USA bad" topics on the top of my feed every day and it's pushing me away from Lemmy tbh. I signed back into my Reddit account for the first time in months yesterday.
