I pay for yt family premium and Netflix but use neither of them on a regular basis.

My nephews grew up with a pretty shitty life. They don’t have a lot of fun things they can do in their situation. I figured the least I could do is give them YouTube music and some access to watch TV and movies on Netflix wherever they happen to be.

It’s the same reason my steam family is chock full of games I’ll never play.

Has strawberry gotten any easier to theme? I tried a few years back and just couldn’t handle the aesthetics, and theming it seemed to only do some parts properly.

People said the exact same thing about reddit being only good for technology enthusiasts and porn in the early days.

In my experience that is just how it goes on the internet. Nerds, furries, and porn collectors, are the early adopters for most places. The normies follow along years later.

Oooh. Yup. I need coffee. Thanks.

Sorry to fork the conversation, but I noticed nobody mentioned connect. Are these other apps really a lot better?.

In which way am I complaining? I am explaining why calling a valid solution a bandaid might be construed as belittling their very real knowledge of this process. And how that is a regular pattern in a lot technical fields.

And don’t give me this shit about ‘I’m not the person you were talking to’ This is an open forum not a direct/private message.

You can’t expect people who are knowledgeable about this stuff to just forever accept that someone asks for advice, gets told the solution, and then ignores/belittles the person with knowledge.

This is our daily life experience. We get hired to be experts, and get told by non-experts that our solutions are not tenable every single day. Only for that solution to eventually be accepted when the user in question figures out their idea was not useful and the expert was correct.

We have to put up with it at work, we are not obliged to accept it here.

I will carry this sacred knowledge for the remainder of my fleeting time on this rock.

And giggle.

This photo makes me angry. Why is the syrup not spilling over the edges of the pancake? One slice of bacon? And what is that yellow stuff? A hummingbird egg?

Looks tasty. And the portion probably makes much more sense than the monstrosity I make when we do brinner.

I have never had a comment make me feel this old.

Toasted banana bread and a quad espresso in the forest for me.

Its a great day for toast!

Agree to disagree. I’m usually in bed by like 9:00 these days, but I was up till 1:00 a.m. playing. Sure, some of that is nostalgia. Some is just that it’s also a very good game.

Respectable!

That would also be amazing!

I mean… I’m not the OP but I don’t think people against meta/threads fear their idiot userbase. We just don’t want to deal with them. At all. Anywhere.

Or we’d have joined threads.

I don’t think I was confusing the defed from blocking, I was confused about what you meant. Thanks for the clarification.

I am given to understand that I will still see the comments from threads users on lemmy. Just not the posts from threads.

Like I said, I don’t care what others do. But for me the correct answer is to not interact with users from that platform.

When I start seeing threads users in .world lemmy comment sections I will block .world.

My pleasure. TMYK!

I’m not comfortable with assuming the dregs of Facebook will leave Lemmy alone. I’ll stick to instances that have defederated and I’ll actively block instances that don’t.

I’m not out here trying to stop you from being on federated instances or anyone else. But I will not personally support instances that allow that monster into the ecosystem.
