On Instagram

Funny you describe all the annoyances of web vs mobile, but visit this awful site. Instagram wont let me see anything at all, web, mobile or otherwise because I don’t and won’t have an account.

Maybe avoiding social media all together is a better idea.

I hope this doesn’t clog up the feed in your search for admins but I have to say: You are doing something right. I see people say Lemmy is slow, or there are large amounts of downtime. That has not happened on this instance. I have been very happy here.

I really hope you find the admins you are looking for.

I have a uncle with a similar situation. He ended up getting him a smart watch. I don’t remember which, but the search was for the strongest vibrate he could find. The phones vibrate didn’t do the job, but he feels the wrist vibrate.

He also is used to wearing a watch so he feels weird without it and there fore doesn’t forget it.

Maybe that could help you.

Not my experience at all, seems to be just about anyone can be an asshole.

I was in the library for the first time in ages, two of them actually. Mixed group of people, pretty busy. I am happy to say I heard not a single notification or phone ring the whole time. I hadn’t thought about it until you mentioned it. That was kind of refreshing. Unlike waiting rooms, the bus, coffee shop, the quiet lounge at the airport. Maybe I got lucky.

Unless I am actively waiting for something, the phone is on vibrate. But even then my attitude is notifications are what I see when I bother to take a look. There is usually nothing that cant wait until I want to take the time to deal with it.

People are so Pavlovian about their devices, I see it all the time.

For the record, not a boomer, but why are you targeting that group? Everywhere I go it is someone, just as often young as old, that thinks I want to hear their notifications, tiktok, or whatever bullshit of the day they want everyone to hear.

Yes, I think for new users that is very confusing. I find that somewhat confusing and I think I have an idea what’s going on.

Pixelfed is federated, an account can be made with Mastodon to log into different servers. But it seems different from lemmy in that joining one instance doesn’t seem to provide you with a method to view other instances and pick and choose as part of your feed. I think some people find that confusing. Any comments on that?

I don’t think I could eat stoufers, I find that stuff really not good.

Besides its so easy to make. Beans, rice, a rotesserie chicken if you want to get fancy cheese and enchilada sauce. Make in advance and freeze portions of it. Cheaper in the long run and actually tastes good.

My expections would be extremely low based on the brand. The less in the box might be a good thing.

Oh I know they exist… I have thousands of games. Category: games.

maybe the users should shoulder some of that blame. I get working to pay the bills, but their users have no excuse.

After they domesticated themselves I am pretty sure their natural habitat is whatever we decide it should be. We already are deciding if they can breed at all so…

All the cats in my neighborhood that were outdoor cats have been killed within a week. Coyote has had some good eats this week.

Yeah, it sucks. But Look at that map. Those lakes are fairly important. Well either that or do a Robert Evans plan and just nuke them.

I hate so say it, but you should grab Michigan and Wisconsin. Much like a girl I used to know: We can fix her, and she has huge lakes that I find appealing. Or something like that.

Valve has treated linux as a first class citizen for gaming. GOG can’t even be bothered to build a launcher. EPIC pretends and fucks around in the end.

Only Valve has been consistent, keeping their platform available and simple. I am sure one day they will Netflix and go from hero to villain, but as of right now they are still the good guys.

Valve still doesn’t try and stuff anti-cheat into Kernal space, and that says something right there.

I was trying to think of a way to put it, and I think you nailed it.

Valve has made it so I can game entirely on linux. I remember when Steam started and I hated it, I didn’t want an account. But after all these years its been nothing but ways that benefit me.

I like GOG but they can’t be bothered to even create a library tool. Yes third party ones exist, but you would think they could at least try.

And in the end, if it all goes away, it was just games. Not like I couldnt get them back if I really tried, and if you really wanted to do something about it, you CAN archive your steam library.

Steam user since the early days, and no categories here. Why bother. Thousands of games, too much work.

Same thing with profiles, like what do I need that shit for?

Edit: I do want to say, I admire your organization.

… New Years resolution to say something nice a lot more often, we call could use it …

Yea, as people eat out less and restaurants close, the tipping question kind of becomes moot.
