It’s good at automating basic things, it can really help be a tool but it’s extremely lacking and while it will lead us to new places, I think it will go hand in hand with how we regulate and evolve alongside it.

primordial time! radical

In college, I focused a lot of my time on working in a laboratory and studying with a difficult major. I also did have a close group of friends but I was far too committed to school.

It ends up working out, most people grow apart from college. It is a special time in your life, you are learning about who you are and what you like to do. Ultimately, in my opinion, it was far more important to me to learn how to work hard, solve complex problems and be resourceful than the social aspects.

If it is your last year, I would heavily recommend focusing on connections with staff, career services, other people who will be useful for getting a job, figuring out how to best apply all these skills you’ve learned into a career.

I was able to use a connection from a class to get into a job that led to the role I’ve been at happily for over a decade. So, definitely I would think about the future, connect with those around you, try to trust yourself that you’ll figure it out.

Of the original Dark Souls? Vaati’s series is very illuminating but the story itself is mostly told through the item descriptions and NPC interactions.

This summary on the wiki covers the overarching story!

wow, this is actually amazing.

You’d think a rapidly developing service like Lemmy might face restrictions like that due to resources but Twitter? Mismanagement beyond belief.

It was very satisfying flipping and sliding phones like this. I wonder how it would be to transfer back to a tactile physical keyboard after all this time. I’m not sure if it’s just nostalgia but I almost feel like it would be better

super interesting inside look

Seconded

ah ha, my clients company will have outages with the servers every couple of months, this one was a lot longer.

I have a feeling they’ll find it’s a lot of people getting frustrated haha. I think some of my highest levels of frustration come with digital assistances.

I agree with everything you’ve said and that it is disappointing. I do think there is merit in continuing to protest and send a message.

However, I don’t think there’s anything that can move the Reddit leadership team back. Because even if they went back on this API issue, the continued process of the degradation of reddit as a service has been a long term thing. It seems to me that the Fidelity downgrade of their evaluation has pushed them even further down this path.

I truly am done with them. Even if they come back from all this, what’s left there? Somebody else pointed out that over the year, generally interactions became more unfriendly on reddit, spam and changes to the algorithm increasingly pushed away from the platform we all loved.

I see this situation and how it was so exacerbated by Spez and the leaderships absolute failure as a blessing. There’s a lot of alternative ways to spend time on the internet, to connect and learn. Beehaw has been really good to me the last couple days, I am excited for a future here and ready to not contribute toward the mess that reddit has become anymore.

This situation made very clear what writing is on the wall for reddit. I don’t care if people go back, it hasn’t been the reddit I knew and cared about for a long time.

To all the people saying “oh well this won’t replace reddit,” I wouldn’t want it to. Reddit has changed.

Here’s to new beginnings

I agree completely. I don’t care if people go back to reddit, I don’t care if they even reverse some of their decisions, the damage is done for me. I’ll look forward to a new future here and elsewhere on the internet.

get mlem and put it in the same spot as where your apollo app for is today

I replaced the location on my phone with Mlem! It’s been helping

Mlem is awesome, been really fun to engage and grow with this new community

I agree. At this point, even if Reddit backed down for everything it seems like the future there is doomed no matter what. I got a lot of joy out of connecting with people and getting content out of Lemmy this weekend. Looking forward to seeing what this site grows into.

This is a really poignant article that hit the nail on the head for exactly how I feel.

thank you, this comment made my day
