I use PieFed rather than lemmy as my default these days, but the answer is the same for both. I love that they're community driven, community hosted federated spaces that let people find the experience they want, and that they're strongly resistant to corporate takeover and centralisation.

What I don't like so much is the increase in debate bro type folk that are slowly drifting over from reddit. Of course, they're at least partly dealt with by the things I mentioned earlier, but still, I wish we could undo some of the in your face debating attitudes that people have been trained to default to by toxic social media

I don't like there is no way to get notification (subscribe to) a post to see new replies that come in after I've read the post for the first time..

I've moved to PieFed now as my default instance instead of lemmy, and this is one of the main reasons why! And you can do it at the community level as well, to be notified when a new post is made to a given community

I started it, and enjoyed (but didn't love) the first two seasons. But then we hit season 3... And I am trying to force myself to continue watching, but I'm not sure I can...

I love time travel stories too, but I absolutely can't stand time travel stories that create infinite worlds, or branching timelines etc, because all they do is reduce the actions and events of the story to irrelevancy. So, for the first two season, I really enjoyed how the show was a time travel story, but it never really let you know what was happening as a result of the actions in the show. Was the future changed? Or was everything we were seeing how it had always played out?

And then we get to season 3... And suddenly, we have a split timeline the old world is destroyed, and literally everyone those characters knew and cared about is gone, and the future she had been fighting to return to is erased. And none of them really care about that. The sheer trauma of losing an entire universe is brushed over like its nothing. And I just know that now they've done one timeline divergence, there are more of them waiting either in this season or the next...

I was so close to giving up on it, until I read some spoilers in the comments that mentions she joins liber8, and I think that will keep me going, because after all of this, it will be good to see here finally click...

Fair, but the person who submitted this isn't just a random user, they're flaired as part of the packaging team

I mean, people still defend Rowling's work, and use Hyprland, so this shouldn't surprise me, but somehow, it still does...

There are better ways of convincing non involved participants than debate, especially it's an argument around human rights, bigotry, transphobia, racism etc. Getting in to a debate normalises the idea that "both sides" of these arguments have similar validity and value.

I swear by TrainAsOne. It does dynamic plan generation that automatically adapts to your pace, fitness and missed sessions.

Honestly, I like it. I run google and all of its platforms in their own tab containers, without signing in and that's what my Youtube looks like. It's great, I can search for the thing I need, and otherwise interact with google ad spam as little as possible

Thanks to the longer focal lengths and brighter light making narrow apertures more viable, it's not something I've needed for my birds.

But I've definitely felt the pain of the reduced DoF the few times I've tried macro

Millions of people have reviewed you!

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I really should. My cameras all stack in camera, but it's not something I've really tried to play around with much. There's not much use for it taking photos of birds :p

The best tip I can give you is to get rid of windows, and, well, you've already done that :)
