You’ve reached lemmy.one!

Tailscale all the way.

Nothing. Haven’t logged on since subs went dark.

ABSOLUTELY THIS. Same. I have to deal with Oracle and their Opera PMS platform which uses Weblogic, 19c, and a variety of other products and it makes me actively want to scream and light things on fire. If I can help it, you won’t catch me using another Oracle product if I can avoid it.

A password manager is an absolute must, in my opinion! I use Bitwarden and love it.

Personal: Signal mostly, for personal chats I do also have Telegram and WhatsApp. I am starting to use Matrix for community chats as I just discovered it.

Work: Microsoft Teams.

I’ve used Pihole and Adguard. Liked them both, but ultimately went back to Pihole.

1 year of salary extra would be unbelievably life-changing. Like…every single stress in life would be eliminated. Shoot, even $10k extra would be HUGELY beneficial.

Been thinking about starting to drive Door dash or another side gig to supplement income.

I’ll give a search on Duck Duck Go, and if I can’t find what I need then I’ll use Google.

But at this point I’m using Google Bard and ChatGPT more and more, at least at work.

Oh, absolutely! I did a lot of consuming on Reddit, and only participated in a couple specific communities.

Here, I feel far more inclined to actively participate.

Oh, man. Getting that kind of stuff in writing is soooo good. * chef’s kiss *

I happen to like the shorts. I only wish your shirts subscriptions were separate from your regular subscriptions. Otherwise I don’t have any issues with it.

However, I do know a lot of people do take issue with it, and that’s okay!

I really don’t get why all these social platforms try so hard to just be copies of each other. I like having diverse and different platforms for different things. Once they all started homogenizing, I really stopped using most social media.

And when LinkedIn added their ripoff of Instagram Stories I was like…aaaaand that’s it for me. Why does a professional site need a stories feature?

The CEO just tripled down and said they are not changing their intended API pricing regardless of how many subs and users go dark.

Even if they did, I think a lot of redditors have been fed up with some things with Reddit (both the company and the first-party app) for a while.

Of course, there will be people who just don’t care and will continue to go about their redditing as usual, and those who will go back. A fair number of my close friends don’t care at all as they use the first-party app, have no complaints, don’t moderate any subreddits, and don’t follow the Internet news.

I would love to see my primary communities move over to federated social platforms. It reminds me of the Web1.0 and earlier Web2.0 days.
