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.

I remember Best. Basically the same as Service Merchandise. Write the item number down, go to a old 3270 terminal (think green screen crt), order the item, and wait for it to come down the conveyor thingy… good times.

Well shit… it seems the recent rash of enshittification continues. I didn’t realize Plex was doing this so I guess an exit strategy is required. Thanks for the heads up.

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?

Well I can’t “give up” on gmail. I work for a university and they use it. But to say gmail was a zillion times better than groupwise is an understatement.

TIL ethernet is younger than me.

I wouldn’t 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.
