when it’s your main place to see friends photos, and where all your friends already are its difficult to just not use it.

you don’t use it and never have, so naturally you won’t feel left out. but those that use it frequently absolutely will.

the old curmudgeon “These dern kids and thur instagrams!” isn’t really all that helpful, I feel.

Would you kindly…

oh it’s a relief that we have recently changed it. the bastard roku is completely locked out.

my roku TV felt my wrath because it dared to show me a banner ad while I was in the middle of a game.

i promptly disabled internet on it completely. now it’s a dumb TV. and my life is much better.

nice. but for now I will stick to freetube and newpipe. as all my subscriptions and content creators I watch are all on youtube.

but thank you for the suggestion

i tried to do this but finding an instance and actual content that appealed to me seemed to be difficult.

there are a lot of kneejerk, tinfoil hat individuals on lemmy that seem to get rather dramatic over bluesky.

bluesky adds new fonts in webapp

“THIS IS WHAT THE CORPORATE OVERLORDS WANT. THESE FONTS ARE JUST LIKE TWITTER. WAKE UP SHEEPLE! IF YOU DON’T USE MASTODON, YOURE GOING TO GET MEASLES AND YOUR CHILDREN WILL PERISH!”

(/s but you get what I mean)

you can get a fairly decent simple android device for like 70 bucks. so the gimmick seems to prey on those that wish to have an “experience” and not a functional device.

600 dollars

this is a joke, right?

I’m so sick of online publications being the sketchiest places imaginable. it makes me skip articles that might otherwise interest me.

oh my word. i love you. thank you so very very much 🙏

edit: duuuuude! everything runs perfectly! double thank you! this is great.

i meant the all-in-one nature of it. ive used retroarch but honestly that ui is an exercise in patience.

i was wondering if there was an android version of that software, but I did some searching and came up short.

yo that emulator. does anyone know if there’s an emulator like that for android?

healthy? what do you mean by healthy. healthy for whom? the life of the app itself? because it won’t survive without dedicated users.

if there is no algorithm to keep track of what users want to see vs don’t want to see, they’ll stop using the app in favor of apps that cater to their interests.

watching a random video of something I’m not interested in isn’t particularly all that fun.

if an app learns I like anime and video games or specific types of content, then I’m more likely to use the app.

the issue with loops is there’s no algorithm. so I get 10 random videos that don’t interest me and just one that does, almost.

that’s not going to work long term for engagement. i already get bored on loops after like a minute.

Golly I loved these things when I was a kid. I still do.

the same level of toxicity that I left reddit for seems to be permeating Lemmy, now.

America is a lot of people from different places settling in one continent. lots of people care about what their family history is. I’m not sure what’s weird about that.

there’s a lot of people with bloodlines from different parts of the world in every country. it means something to some people. not everyone, but quite a few.

that particular phenomenon is everywhere.

One guy writes an article. literally just one dude.
