Probably something that makes it even harder and more confusing to understand in context, so I'm gonna say he calls them "texts"

Just ordered a 6a. Any idea how that works with the esim? I've never done esim or graphene, so although I'm familiar with different roms I have no idea what the setup experience is like on graphene with a pixel 6a

Took a peek and it doesn't look like there's any recent posts on /r/gifs ? Like, sort by new and everything other that 5 reddit is killing itself posts is at least 19 days old. What's up with that?

 

I find it incredible how different I feel about certain books/series now vs how I felt about them 15 or 20 years ago. What sort of major changes have happened to your tastes during your fantasy journey?

I used to own every single Wheel of Time book and spent all my time on wotmania.com, but I have zero desire to read them ever again. Honestly, classic epic fantasy just doesn't do it for me in general anymore.

I don't tend to get excited about the next Brandon Sanderson novel, but I was a huge proponent of him when he was signing copies of Elantris in my tiny Idaho mall.

It'd be great if Rothfuss, Lynch or Martin finished their series, but I used to rant and rave about wanting them and now I just move on to things that are done. I can wait, and in the case of Rothfuss I'm not 100% sure those books are going to finish nearly as strongly as I first thought.

I haven't had this problem yet, to be honest. I did have a free library go down recently that I'd had for years (sad days), but the one that I'm giving about $7/month to is working just fine.

This is the one. You honestly won't need another.

Be sure to remove as much as you can and heavily encourage heavy contributors to delete their comment history. They have no value without our data.

Here I am! Deleted all 1700+ comments from my account today and I'll check back to make sure Reddit doesn't try to reinstate them.

Totally correct. It'll take a while, but the quality will absolutely drop. And even though 3rd party apps represent a small percentage of Reddit users, I'd bet that people who are engaged and participate enough to get a third party app for their phone (many of which required payment to block ads) are the same people providing a lot of the quality content that makes Reddit successful. When the people who produce the good content leave, then it's only a matter of time before everyone else follows.

It's digg all over again, for those of us pioneers old enough to remember our first migration.

[–] theusualuser@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

By and large I don't feel the need to go back to reddit, as I can get the news and other things either here or in different places. There are a few very specific subs that I'll probably visit from time to time on desktop, but I'll never use that garbage reddit app.

Under the sink water filtration system. We spent maybe $300 on ours and couldn't be happier. Clear, clean tasting water where before it was sketchy at best (farm country) and no more need to fill up the Brita pitcher every single day. Took maybe an hour to set up.

 

It'd be nice to start a thread that has a lot of info for people who are looking for reviews or recommendations.

For instance, https://sff180.com/ does a solid job, particularly with their youtube channel, of keeping me informed about books that are coming out. Where do you go for your info?
