Since the seeing ordeal someone went through here in Canada and his Telsa, I wouldn’t own one if given to me.

Water condensation dripping from the AC compressor on top of the batteries is just bad design and lack of foresight.

Transport Canada said that was awful and the reason for his faulty battery/batteries and Teslsa still said, nah you on your own.

Forget that noise.

When the fuck did a mobile hotspot become something you have to pay extra for?

It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone...

It’s been like this in Canada for years. I’m not sure making our phones a wifi hotspot was ever free come to think of it.

This perfectly explains the demise of BlackBerry phones too.

Connect is much like Sync. In fact, I uninstalled Sync and went back to Connect.

I love the concept and idea of them and could see myself utilizing the ones that unfold into a tablet with the S-Pen. But the durability of those screens made me nervous.

When did saying Reddit become the equivalent of saying Voldemort?

I saw this earlier. I felt so bad for him. At least he was only around level 30.

I’ll never try a hardcore character. I wouldn’t be able to keep my patience. 😆

So, would it be wise and helpful for a mod or bot per instance to subscribe to as many communities as possible to help the instance’s feed?

Knightfall,
@Knightfall@lemmy.ca avatar

How does that “help” their feed? What possible benefit could there be in using a bot to subscribe willy-nilly to every community out there, no matter how shitty it is?

I don’t know… You made it sound like the only way for me to have more communities show up in my All feed on lemmy.ca would be if a volunteer on lemmy.ca, be it a bot or mod, subscribed to all the communities they could find. Hense seeing top posts from All communities. And I only meant for a bot or mod to just subscribe. Not to repost everything.

If that isn’t how it works, sorry. It is why I asked if that would work or not.

I was on Reddit a lot to see chatter about games I enjoy. The presence of Destiny 2 or Diablo 4 players seems pretty quiet on Lemmy. A lot of game devs are on Reddit and I don’t know how many of them have or will move to another platform.

They have over a billion monthly users, so I’m not sure they’re dead. Unless you were being sarcastic.

But… You reminded me I’ve been wanting to look into using PixelFed.

Knightfall,
@Knightfall@lemmy.ca avatar

They all appear to be in development, but yes.

I don’t mean this comment to be facetious towards OP.

Seeing reports that interest died down on a newly released item, be it a game, social media, or tv series, is just to be expected. May as well report that water is still wet.

YSK that a lot of common questions/complaints about Lemmy are presently answered by kbin (kbin.social)

This is not an attempt to convert Lemmy users, nor is it a slight on Lemmy. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why Lemmy works better for some, and I love the fact that we not only have multiple choices, but multiple choices that allow us to interact with each other regardless! It's amazing. Lemmy is great, no shade....

Knightfall,
@Knightfall@lemmy.ca avatar

I saw in the comments here there are no apps yet for Kbin. So are Kbin users just using the website on their devices for now?

I’m enjoying Connect for Lemmy and awaiting Sync for Lemmy to be released. Can or will those work for me if I made a Kbin account and will I gain these Kbin perks you speak of?

I watched the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie so many times as a kid I can still lip sync most of the film to this day.

I’ve also watched Space Balls and Monty Python and the Holy Grail more times than I can count.

It’s because of those Facebook surveys I never choose those questions.

Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I...

I haven’t been back on Reddit since shortly before July 1. I enjoy the vibe here right and the novelty of something new hasn’t worn off yet.

Some subreddits I was more into like Destiny 2’s and Diablo 4 don’t seem as busy here so I have a feeling I may need to lurk over there still from time to time.

I’ve had a Galaxy Note 10+ for 3 years and I’ve now had an S23 Ultra since around February. Not once have I had random apps installed.

I’m with Rogers Wireless in Canada.

Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone? (kbin.social)

Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I've never had an iPhone so I don't even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.

Knightfall,
@Knightfall@lemmy.ca avatar

I do. Not exclusively, but more often than not.

Did lemmy.ca already defederate? I clicked the link to the link to block the bot it but it shows nothing there. Yet if I sign out, I can see it.

Thanks. I tried again today on my desktop this time and managed to figure it out.

There are 1 billion active users on Instagram and those users were invited to Threads using an existing account. Celebrities, businesses, streamers, etc. all popped up on Threads within the first few hours of public release.

I’m a big nerd and just learned about the fediverse within recent months. Everyone else I know who uses Twitter and Threads have no clue what Mastodon is.

What's the point of buying new phones every years?

Other than your carrier give it for free or cheap, I don’t really see the reason why should you buy new phone. I’ve been using Redmi Note 9 for past 3 years and recently got my had on Poco F5. I don’t see the point of my ‘upgrade’. I sold it and come back to my Note 9. Gaming? Most of them are p2w or microtransaction...

In Canada, for years, you were almost a fool for not upgrading your device every two years. The “regular” plans we all had involved a 2-yr contract in which time your phone would be paid off. But after that term was up, the monthly bill remained exactly the same. It was stupid, but a lot of Canadians just said, “Welp. Might as well upgrade then.” Then the CRTC here stepped up and told the big three carriers here to knock it off.

I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ that I held onto for three and a half years. That was the longest I’d ever kept a smartphone. It was going strong too. Alas, I found out security updates were knocked down to quarterly from monthly. And after this year, it would receive nothing more. I reluctantly looked into the Galaxy S23 Ultra as a replacement and thanks to a good deal, I have that phone now. It’s an amazing device too and I hope it carries me for another 3+ years.

Correct, RCS is only for Android. Right now it’s limited to Google Messages app and Samsung’s default texting app.

My wife has an iPhone and I run Android. Been that way for a decade or more now. Never an issue for her what colour my texts were.

And these days we use Telegram. Signal, FB Messenger, WhatsApp… There are dozens of chat apps out there that work cross-platform easily.

Make sure you keep an eye out for when Sync for Lemmy is released!

Good idea! Here’s my comment to do the same.

It’s a game to me to find other users from the same instance. Hello fellow lemmy.ca user!

What are you using now? I’m using Connect for Lemmy and it feels very close to Sync because of gestures. I’ll be torn when Sync comes out because I’m enjoying this so much. (And Connect is Canadian like me. Haha)

Knightfall,
@Knightfall@lemmy.ca avatar

This just makes too much sense.

Knightfall,

I’m loving Connect for Lemmy right now, but certainly curious to see how this turns out! Sync was my go-to app for Reddit.

Knightfall,
@Knightfall@lemmy.ca avatar

You know… It’s seeing this type of stuff I’m so happy I found my wife the old fashioned way before dating apps existed.

I had to zoom in on my phone just to be able to read that!

Connect for Lemmy is my go to. The dev just released an update too with a ton more features. It’s working great and I like it more than WefWef.

I'm completing all the side quests

I had a low day and thought I'd do some D4 when it hit me, these are depressing stories! Everyone I look for is dead! Even some I speak to in begining end up dead by the time I get back! They're well written, just sad. I reunited a guy and his goat. A goat passed out after eating too much salt. Salt made from AN ENTIRE VILLAGE!!...

Not sure if you’re new to the series, but Diablo isn’t really a go-to for pick me-up-story telling.

I’m experiencing the same problem right now. Whenever I got to my main page, for the past three days I just keep seeing the same top post. My subscriptions aren’t coming through.

And today, I see a post from PC Master Race on lemmy.world with 1303 upvotes. But once I sign in and use Lemmy.ca, the number drops to 339.

The number of comments drop dramatically too.

Wow. This app is really nice at first glance. I like the gesture to swipe left on a comment to upvote. Reminds me of Sync for Reddit!
