According to some people on the fediverse, the Kagi forum thread that is linked in the toots I posted above and seemingly nowhere else.
From a non political standpoint: I tried Kagi last year and it was ok but I didn’t get the big deal. And because I’m not in the US but the UK if you try searching where’s my nearest garage or stay the nearest result came up as 150 miles away. So it’s one of those things I’ll maybe return to it once it’s developed a bit more
The sources I find are solely from mastodon threads, and date from this month and the Brave thing. This is the best thing I’ve found
Find the nearest English Civil War reenactment and go watch it
It depends on the game, character etc. I mean I suppose it adds to the escapism slightly?
I play all sorts of different games though, some where you’re not given the choice (Life Is Strange for example) and I don’t feel like it’s that big a deal
I mean yeah, I’ve been unemployed for a significant part of my working life. I guess you can also add to my list being the last generation encouraged to get a degree by well meaning parents and teachers at school ‘because it will guarantee you getting a job for life’.
Definitely as a millennial I’m of the last generation that will remember arranging to meet up somewhere in advance and sticking to that plan (or rearranging over landline with more than a day’s notice…)
But something I’ve noticed when I ask people in my team what their dream jobs are the younger people tend to say ‘run their own businesses’, ‘work for themselves’ etc. Whereas in our generation (in my circles anyway) that definitely wasn’t so prominent. Maybe a side effect of seeing influencers making it big?
Yeah it’s a real shame because from what I saw of the Artemis app it looked good as well. I hope the dev is ok.
Kbin definitely needs a decent app. The web app does the job but it can be a bit irritating as you say
So because I play a lot of games and read a lot of eBooks then I would say getting my first tablet was pretty great, even though it was a midrange one that was just thrown in to the deal when I was upgrading my phone and I probably wouldn’t have bothered otherwise
It was a Samsung A8 from 2019, had about an 8" screen and I used it mainly as a kindle and games device. The games I play are mainly strategy or board games, but there were certainly some games that you wouldn’t necessarily think would cause a problem (Wingspan?) that would lag or crash. Since I review games it helped to have a second device to check things on, and a bigger screen is better.
Last year I upgraded it to a Samsung S8 which is a flagship. It’s a 10 or 11 inch screen which felt more unwieldy though I’m used to it now. It can run more things. It’s a really nice device. The screen isn’t actually OLED but feels like it, the quality is amazing. It actually came with a stylus which was a neat touch. The screen is good enough that yes I have found myself watching more TV on it.
However, when people say ‘productivity’, I don’t know really know what they mean by that tbh. I’ve got a work laptop for work. I’ve got my own laptop for other stuff. Do people mean drawing and things on tablets but that?
2 made mine - ‘Hey Bulldog’ and ‘Cry Baby Cry’.
Yeah I get that too now you’ve said it!
It looks like a shady dealer in an orange hoodie.
Top Artist - The Beatles (I relistened to their remaster of Revolver a lot this year, it’s really very good!)
Top Song - ‘Give It Up’ by Public Enemy
What if this is the afterlife of a religion we don’t know about from our previous existence?
I don’t think you can have a rational reply to your question - it’s all head canon
It’s not really that surprising that the average user wants the most popular search engine instead of yahoo (of all things) baked in, whatever your views on Google.
(I’m assuming we’re talking about this as a hypothetical talking point!)
I don’t think it would be beneficial particularly no because this place is developing its own sort of culture and way of working and Reddit is over there doing its thing.
If Reddit came and federated, I think most places would defederate from Reddit on principle at this point anyway, as they’ve clearly shown that they wouldn’t be making that move out of an interest in the philosophy behind the ‘fediverse’ (we’ve got to think of a better name btw - Febb? Febby? Febbster? Feddy? Freddy?)
But assuming they were let in and were integrated, the increase in trolls, toxic comments, inane communities, would be too much for Febby to cope with and I’d end up leaving, probably asking with everyone else currently here. Reddit is there for people who want it, Febbster is here for people who want it and if people want both they know where to find both.
That’s great! Since most of the people I play with are scattered geographically we play with the app and I actually learned via the app before getting a chance to play it on the table. It’s definitely a game where a lot of thought has been put into the tutorials
