Heavy Edit: Just finished watching this documentary after reading this article. Truly a heartwarming story, but is definitely a tearjerker at times. Great watch.

I created my account a couple years before any of the recent reddit migrations. I am always interested in alternatives to the status quo and simply searched in DDG "reddit alternatives" one day and bam, Lemmy came up.

I signed up, but honestly I barely used it back then as the traffic was miniscule.

I kind of just hung onto this account and it ended up being my main social media outlet now that there's more people here. I'm hoping Lemmy thrives and attracts more users. It is objectively better than Reddit, it just needs more users and communities imho.

Oh Hooty 🙂... Are you talking to the invisible audience in the room again? lol. 🦉🦗

It's in it's user profile.

Not sure if these count, but:

• Some More News
• Behind The Bastards
• It Could Happen Here
• Knowledge Fight
• Citation Needed (with Molly White)
• Tech Won't Save Us
• Better Offline

The fantastic animated show, Pantheon explores that very idea at the very end of its second and final season.

Given a long enough time frame, the vast majority of an immortal life would be spent buried beneath something or floating in the void of space. Think about it, you outlast planets and stars. When those go dark, but you don't die...nothing to do but float in space.

You might counter that with, "well yeah, but eventually I'd find other sentient life forms and/or people again.” And sure, maybe, but that wouldn't last as long as you...and then you're just alone floating in space again, for the vast majority of your life. The only thing to look forward to, since you will outlast everything, is the end of time itself.

This. Sorry but I'm a web developer and one of my colleagues obviously uses it without checking if it is correct, then bugs me or others when he doesn't understand why it doesn't work as expected. It is frustrating as hell and I've explained it to him multiple times:

• Over prompt the AI if you are going to use it. Long lengthy prompts that are very succinct but give as much context as possible.

• It is highly preferable to check other sources first like Stack Overflow. Even Medium articles can be better than using AI sometimes.

• Type out what the AI output rather than just copy and paste. As you type line by line, explain to yourself what is happening.

• Question everything. Do you think this code will work. Why will it work?

• Test the code. If it doesn't work as expected, trouble shoot it.

• Don't be afraid to scrap the whole thing and start over. Even open another prompt and try again if you really think the AI can answer the question (there are many cases where your problem is just too specific and the AI can't).

He does none of these things. I swear he is the laziest developer I've ever met, and I've met my fair share.

Because it's not a bad thing to ask another person about their experiences in life. And putting it within the context of a particular life choice adds a layer of focus to the conversation.

Given your logic, no one should ever ask anyone else any question about their personal experiences other than to retrieve information.

Lemmy should be the replacement for reddit IMHO.

Don't get me wrong. I'm enjoying the recent influx since the recent reddit migrations, while still staying niche. And I'm appreciating being amongst like minded, generally leftist communities here.

But if it requires opening up the floodgates to idiots, fascists, and trolls in order to kill reddit, so be it. As long as there are no algorithms, advertisers, and spez's, I'm all for more lemmings.

I use Thunder currently. My first Android Lemmy client was Jerboa, which was fine.

I've tried Voyager, and I can't remember right now why I didn't stick with it, but I ended up just gravitating towards Thunder. It's UI strikes the right balance between feature full and minimal imho.

Agreed. I mean, to each their own, but I've been open and tried the gamut of butt stuff more than a few times with a few partners, and I've gotta say...just not a fan of either giving or receiving anal. Oral, on the other hand...
