Agreed. I like the positive vibe of beehaw, but I'm really here for the Reddit alternative and for the fediverse. I don't want a walled garden, I want to be exposed to other communities, I just want them to be civil is all.
I already have accounts on other instances, so I'll likely switch to an alternative instance and be very sad for it. But I respect the admin's right to do it.
Just downloaded it to give it a try! So far missing autocorrect a little bit, but, honestly, I'm optimistic about how the keyboard can improve my typing (and diction). Much slower but also more well thought out. Auto lets you type fast, maybe too fast.
I will have to get used to typing apostrophes again though...
I refused to give up my headphone jack, so for my latest phone I switched to the Moto 5g Stylus
It's an OK phone. It often has performance issues, but the battery life is massive and I expanded to storage to nearly 500Gb. The phone is long though - they increased the screen size and avoided increasing the width, so it's just comically tall. That's good for scenarios when you want to see more of the screen while keeping the keyboard out and for split screen apps and games, but mostly it's a burden because you can't effectively use the phone one handed. For its price, I'd say it's probably worth at least a year or two of service, but I find myself wanting more power again like the Pixel 3a (my last phone).
I'm interested in a couple of the phones they listed in the article, but definitely will have to double check performance in the future. It's the most annoying part of this phone
Oh one pro tip for the 5g stylus - the camera is good, but only when using their "Ultra-rez" mode instead of the default mode, and the preview looks a lot worse than the actual picture. The picture will preview as blurry and pixelated while you're taking it, but once processed it will look great
I guess you could look at it like "I'd rather have a vote than no vote at all" but seems weird
I wish the article had more detail, like statements from the organizations or judges. Two paragraphs hardly seems enough
That's very subjective, so it's hard to say! I find Sync to be the best, but I enjoy the look and feel of Thunder.
I'd say give them a whirl, they're all free and most run without signing in just fine
Yeah the post is an interesting question because the "official" app isn't as polished as you might expect it to be.
Lemmy apps are interesting in that they are all so different that you need to just try a few and find one you like.
Me personally, I like Sync, but I've also tried Thunder, Jerboa, and Liftoff. Each has their pros and cons, and you've just got to try them out and can't really rely on "most official" as a good metric
I was thinking about this earlier this week, in a sense. Not quite insurance but throwing away money.
The federal government is going to be providing aid and assistance during and after the hurricane, and I couldn't help but think about how the more mild, less disaster-prone parts of the country are effectively subsidizing people to continue to move to Florida, despite how unlivable it really is. As Florida grows more the rest of the country has to pay too, it doesn't just affect Floridians
Plex has a random button for movies and TV so often my friends/family and I will play a game I like to call the random game.
Everyone gets 1 veto, and any movie can be skipped by majority vote. Just keep hitting the random button until something sticks. Eventually you'll hit a movie to watch, and it's never failed to be a good time.
Bonus game is try to guess the movie first - unfortunately I usually win because I put the movies on there so I know the approximate list of options.
I came to suggest this one as well. I think about this book from time to time and it's another one that they force on US high school students before they're really ready to understand the themes within. I read it in high school and the only thing I remembered was the last chapter because something odd occurs, and I didn't remember it because of any emotional or philosophical part but because "ew gross".
I re-read it as a an adult and I loved the book. It's depressing but truly I think it's a great insight into the cause of the depression and the migration West. It may not be the most in depth explanation and doesn't address the issues in the stock market, but it covers the western experience very well.
Beyond that, I haven't read any other books on the topic but I can recommend the American History Tellers episodes if you are OK with listening. I love the series and if nothing else they will list a series of sources at the end of their episodes that you could reference. You can get it for free from most podcast sources

On PS5 it's still a little janky. I'm hoping the update will stabilize some of the issues
It's playable, justice not immersive
There's a lot of Brave plugging in the post, which is off to me. Also the post itself is super barebones. It doesn't cover each suggestion in depth - it doesn't even go through their whole list at the top - and it provides no guidance on actually switching. The "article" is more akin to a Buzzfeed list
From the perspective of someone who uses Visual Studio Code, but also knows how to exit
vim, there are a couple reasons that most developers who prefer one of the three, at least those I've spoken to.vimkeybindings" specifically for this reason. You'll find that it's a very popular method of working.Really it comes down to personal preferences and what you "grew up" using. It's really hard to transition into something like
vimand it takes a concerted effort to switch by most users. You have to want to switch, otherwise you'll find it too difficult a learning curve or find yourself wandering back to more "featured" applications.There are likely more reasons out there, but these are, in my experience, the primary reasons.
