I hate it. It even bleeds over into performance reviews. Like you'll never get a perfect score no matter how hard you work because you always have to be improving on something. It's supposed to be the sure fire sign of "success" but all it does is create impossible goals and bring everyone down.

I love it! Even the built in CSS and JavaScript customization goes a long way. I'm not creative enough to figure out anything crazy with Greasemonkey lol

I love RSS! For the longest time I used Miniflux, and I still have an instance running, but lately I've just been using the Unread app on iOS. That's one of the many great things about RSS: you're not tied down to any specific app or platform, you can pack up and take your feeds wherever you want if you wanna try something different.

That's how I feel about it too. Literally nothing I wanted to watch over there anyway. I'm not missing anything.

Almost everyone I know who cancelled their subscription is happily renewing it now that Kimmel is back on the air. I'm sticking with donating to PBS every month instead.

The good thing about the radical right being entirely made up of dipshits is that there will be plenty more infighting to come 🍿

I used to LOVE Boost but now I'm on iOS so I can't use it anymore 😩

It's still invite only for now but I'd imagine it has to be getting close to the public release. If I had any invite codes left I woulda sent you one! We might get more pretty soon though. If so I'll dm you one but idk when they're coming. And piefed is pretty much Lemmy, only it's powered by Python instead of Rust and it has more moderation features. Pretty similar experience though. You're not really missing anything if you're already on Lemmy. Right now, Lemmy/Piefed are definitely more active and mature than Digg. It looks pretty slick but there aren't a whole lot of users yet. I do like it, I just like it here better right now.

Digg.com used to be my absolute favorite. Then it got bought out by a company who turned it into a content farm and it eventually died out. Now it's back and owned by Kevin Rose again, and I do like it a lot better than Reddit, but I still spend more time on Piefed these days.

My partner is hard of hearing so she always uses subtitles. It took a minute to get used to but now I can't watch anything without them! It's like alt text on images; we started doing it on the fediverse for accessibility but a nice side effect is that it can give you better context and a lot of the time you'll catch things you didn't hear right

This was literally the first thing that came to mind. So many people have android phones with cards already linked to google, paying for YouTube premium would do the same thing. But nope, Skynet is the better way to do it

If they would just do that to every ice agent who manhandled their victims unnecessarily we could get rid of the whole organization I bet
