It's because they're still in the early stage of enshittification, "first, they are good to their users."

I hope my pessimistic ass is wrong; only time will tell. I just feel like some part of Proton's marketing strategy doesn't do it for me.

I appreciate the plot twist. 👍

Persona 5's title screen, feels like the characters are all waiting for the player to start the game and do some shenanigans.

Respect 👍

More people need to learn how to gracefully accept mistake like you did, even myself.

I left r/popular and r/all but lemmy still not yet an adequate replacement for non-tech niche hobbies and interests.

It's my first time hearing about JPEG-XL. What's the file format name? '*.jpeg-xl'?

Can I create it with Adobe Photoshop?

I know you're just being hyperbolic, but there was a time when using Chrome was a smart choice.

Wait really? Is it on the stable version or do I need to install beta/nightly?

I use both Firefox and Opera on my Android phone, the PWA shortcuts from both of these browsers always disappear sooner or late from my home screen. Any alternative or fix for my problem?

Edit: I use Poco F3 with Android 11, MIUI 12.5.8, and Lawnchair launcher. Auto-update my browsers.

Old Bioware stuff, aka action RPG games that put importance to story, lore, companions, and my not-so-guilty pleasure: romance.

I have a lot of emotions about the upcoming DA: Dreadwold.

It would take times, the more informative content we have (even the what's your top 5 thing posts) that common people use search engine to look up for and find, the more we will get exposure, just like how reddit find its audience. Imo, as long as lemmy doesn't get into front page of search engine, I'm afraid the number of lemmyverse users that migrate from reddit won't sharply increase unless reddit does more fuckups. This might also mean, there will be inevitably one or a select few big lemmy instances that will get more exposure.

In any case, it's not necessarily a bad thing; Lemmy (and kbin) needs a lot of improvement to be accessible to most people. Let people that are tech-savvy and those who are passionate in open-source projects improve it first. Otherwise, others will try and find lemmy too complicated to use as it is right now and not interested in using it later down the road.

Just my 0.02

Okay, I'm OOTL. Are the other comments being serious or just sarcastic? Why does this game garner so much hype?

I wonder if this source of mental health decline i.e. anxiety and depression:

The researchers posit that social comparison with peers is behind those results

means that social media such as reddit (ugh) or lemmy have less negative effect or a different one? I don’t think I have problem with social comparison by browsing lemmy but I do feel like I still spend more time than necessary. Some kind of FOMO I guess.
