Glad I made the switch back to FireFox a year or two ago. As a Dev, I was entrenched in Chrome and it wasn’t an easy move but with the path Google are currently treading around ad serving, blocking the ad blocks etc. I feel I made the right choice…

They are good times indeed… Good times…

Caught by the Jaffa’s

I have converted over to Linux for a huge portion of my work flow but there is still the 20% I either can’t efficiently replicate or there is just not the software I need.

Where possible I choose to work outside of Microsoft, Google and Apple but to keep a roof over one’s head, I must endure too.

Yes… Melted on anything…

Literally have not been back since I decided to leave before the blackout.

Considering incised to spen hours a day s rolling that place, I haven’t missed it and just moved on. 12years or more I was a regular contributor and viewer and quit cold turkey style :)

I technically started with Steam Deck and finally took the plunge of partitioning my daily driver to install Linux Mint back a few weeks ago.

No regrets…

I’m a developer (web app predominantly ) and find I can use it for about 80% - 85% of my daily workflow. Things I miss and can’t substitute are mainly around image editing / vector editing where GIMP and InkScape are just not there for the way I work.

Loving my time with it and would highly recommend anyone on the fence take the dive and give Mint a go. It’s incredibly familiar the moment you boot it :)

It’s good to know I’m not alone… I buy a lot of games and have a huge catalogue over a number of systems. It really is the thing I enjoy most as downtime.

However, I can count on one hand how many title screens I have seen over the last 5 years. I get so far, lose interest, move on. Several months later I will feel like playing again, wipe the save and start over rinse and repeat.

Games that keep calling me back however are Skyrim, Fallout 4 and the Bioshock trilogy.

Kudos… It’s very much appreciated and a refreshing change to not be let down by something you enjoy online.

Gerally it’s decent… I don’t use it anywhere near as much as I used Reddit but I’m not sorry to see the back of that place.

It can be a little buggy sometimes, responses dont post or further posts fail to load. I think the lack of consistency is whynim using it less at the moment but overall, happy chappy :)

The older I get, the more I fucking hate obnoxiously loud cars… It was like a switch that went off in my head when I hit the 35-40yrs old mark.

Pumping base tunes from said vehicle is additional hate.

Jerboa’s last update or so has become really buggy for me and doesn’t work the vast majority of the time. I have since dropped it and moved to connect which seems a lot more stable :)

Good old Google, never, ever fails to fucking disappoint !

I have never understood people’s lack of ability to just move on.

Don’t like something, like seriously just move on, don’t like a post / comment, move on rinse and repeat.

You’re not going to like everything and you’re not going to agree with everyone, and you know what… That’s alright, it’s being human !

That a Welsh username by chance?

And yea, thoroughly depressing… I find the situation similar to the old micro transaction / shit game port situation where the masses couldn’t care less and the small minority rebel and have little to no effect.

Sadly those that care about these things are generally grossly outweighed by those that couldn’t give a toss. I haven’t been back to Reddit for 4-5 weeks now and as a very early Reddit adopter I thought the break would be harder than what it has been. I have mentioned in a few posts here that the most surprisong thing to me is how often I was being served subtle ads guised in the form of content on Reddit. In 4 weeks or more I don’t think I have seen a brand as such mentioned on Lemmy yet with Reddit it was legit every dozen posts. I knew this went on, but it took a week or so on Lemmy for me to realise the actual extent of it…

Good riddance to the place, Lemmy feels like the early doors of the internet and I’m quite comfortable here :)

This would seriously make my day if true… I was a Boost junky until I decided to leave Reedit a few weeks back. Would love to have the same (or very similar UI and features) here for Lemmy !

Sweet Jesus is that true?? We really are living in a dystopian nightmare!

I didn’t know they were planing a tablet and my Samsung has just about had it’s day… This could work out quite nicely!!

This is seriously impressive… I love it! I’m the director of a design agency as my day job and work with branding often. If someone hit me this as a client refresh or new brand option, I would be pumped. It’s clever, memorable, current and fresh.

I don’t know if it’s the look Beehaw are going for (I don’t know enough about the instance :) but this is strong enough to stand as primary brand mark for sure.

Only thing I would mention (which I think I have seen on the thread) is there may be some web accessibility issues on the colour contrast side of things, I would look to touch these up if it went into production.

You may be on the product side of things, but this is legit very accomplished work!

Kudos my dude… An epic job ;)
