Different backgrounds will draw different conclusions. Being in the medical field and not ham radio (had to look up what you’ve mentioned) it would never have occurred to me.

I didn’t mean to offend. Nazi ideology can be like a virus and so is what I stated in my comment. A poorly made joke I guess.

Sounds like a virus. Herpes SimpleX? Have fun with that.

This is like when Dr Evil asks for $1 million dollars after being unfrozen. These courts need to get with the times.

Too much optimism and hype may lead to the premature use of technologies that are not ready for prime time.

This is atrocious. Coincidentally Disney is planing to open a park themed with villains. Seems like they can save time and money by renaming the whole place Villain’s World.

I’ve been a few times in my younger years but have zero desire as an adult. Sure they have some nice rides and attractions but the Disney culture is a huge turnoff to me, as are the very high prices of everything there. If I were to take a vacation that costs similar I’m off to a national park or maybe international travel. I prefer real culture over fantasy land.

The Lounge is where you were given access. That subreddit was ok on its own but really it was a good place to hang out, be friendly and helpful which sometimes resulted in being invited to other private sections of Reddit.

Some of those private subs have a true sense of community who are truly kind, respect each other and fun to interact with. Before the awards went away there were many games with prizes and multi-day parties with lots of engagement and fun. Not anything like the regular Reddit.

Those places still exist but activity has declined since most third party apps and the awards/coin system were taken away. That decision not only damaged the public Reddit subs but also the private ones.

I’m not one to praise Google often but I think their Popular Times feature can be handy to see how busy a place might be. This live feed video stuff is way over the top and invasive.

The child from the article got the phone in sixth grade. If she bought a large bag of candy with her own money is it right to let her eat as much as she wants without boundaries?

Setting healthy boundaries and discipline at a young age is a good move. From how she was behaving with the phone I would have done the same.

That’s a good one, thanks!

Woosta! :)

I’m a very light user but so far so good. My usage has been mostly browsing photos.

The official app is nice. It’s Instagram like in layout and works well for my uses.

I prefer a third-party app called Vernissage because photos are the main feature. You don’t see any titles, descriptions, votes, comments unless you tap into the photo. My one dislike is how the feed updates.

When you open the app and new photos are ready you’ll see a number in the top right but nothing new is displayed. In order to see new posts you need to pull down to refresh. This takes you to the top and then allows you to scroll down until you see the “You’re all caught up” notice. To me it would be nice for the new posts to load automatically. Not a huge deal but something I think about while using it.

A very nice write-up. Thanks for sharing your insights! You’re right, these new platforms need time and experience to grow and thrive.

For how new some of these platforms are I think things are going well, recent dramas included.

In that case, nice choice!

Your theme looks great! Nice design chrisbit.

Is he saying we should all X communicate?

You’re welcome. I pasted Kbin links but I’m logged into a lemmy account right now. It’s all still new and wild for me…lol
