billwashere,

I moved to Lemmy because of the 3PA shutdown but very early the native apps and mobile web experience kinda sucked honestly. But I’m really surprised how much the apps have progressed for Lemmy in a very very short time. The experience is getting very close to Apollo and the communities are growing rapidly. This is also very anecdotal but it does seem there was a bit of a brain drain from Reddit given the quality of comments here and the apparent lack of quality posts and comments there since.

billwashere,

So in my opinion the whole point of twitter is for as many people to see tweets as possible. And his solution is to artificially restrict the primary core of his business to keep from paying his bills.

Everyday I swear he bought this company to purposefully destroy it, because of some vendetta. I mean I could understand some C-level guy making boneheaded moves that are misguided, shortsighted, and counterintuitive (cough…cough… Reddit) but this guy… it’s like he bought a house on stilts and keeps cutting out the legs while trying to figure out why the house is leaning about to fall over. How do these guys get to be billionaires?

TIL ethernet is younger than me.

Man Texas becomes more of a fascist shithole everyday.

Is buying a PS3 worth it in 2023?

I never had a PS3 back in the day. I have a PS5 now, and when I was looking at the PS+ packages, I was fascinated by the fact that all the PS3 games have to be streamed. And what’s more, relatively few PS3 games are even on the service. I didn’t realize that the PS3 was such a unique/powerful console, that it still...

billwashere,

I’d say this community is for all gaming including questions like this so you’re fine their in my opinion.

I own a ps1, ps2, ps4, and a ps5 so apparently I don’t like the 3 🤣 so I can’t answer your question about connectivity.

But my answer is if a game system plays games you like, you can find them, and isn’t too expensive I’d say go for it. The library for the ps4 is still huge and I have a psvr so I play it regularly. The older systems were for my younger boys who got into some of the older retro games.

Tl;dr I’d say go for it.

billwashere,

*there.

I really need to figure out how to edit here.

billwashere,

I would trust a google product any further than I could throw a single one of their servers. Well except for gmail. That one has been around a while.

billwashere,

Google wave wasn’t really killed. It’s functionality is pretty much built into google docs.

I don't think "command line hard" is the worst part of self-hosting.

I've seen a lot of people saying things that amount to "those tech nerds need to understand that nobody wants to use the command line!", but I don't actually think that's the hardest part of self-hosting today. I mean, even with a really slick GUI like ASUSTOR NASes provide, getting a reliable, non-NATed connection, with an SSL...

billwashere,

As I can attest after playing with pfsense for years, GUI or not, if you don’t know what you’re doing you’re going to have a bad time.

For me personally, command line gives me a better understanding of what’s really going on. But then again I’m an old Unix nerd. But once I know what’s going on, I prefer the fancy GUI.
