Back in my day
  • I remember calling into the radio station and requesting a song. And then sitting around with friends waiting to hit record on our boombox!

  • Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?
  • I just installed Linux two nights ago! I tried Mint but it wouldn't install because of RST being enabled. I didn't feel comfortable trying to disable it, I was afraid I'd break something. I installed OpenSuse Tumbleweed and it went smoothly! It's been fun being on linux. I customized the theme, downloaded some updates and got Steam working. My only issue is booting into it. I have to boot into windows, restart holding shift and then boot to USB SSD from there. My next goal is getting a boot screen that will allow me to pick Linux or Windows drive.

  • Early Access: Become a tester for Boost for Lemmy and share your feedback 🚀
  • Loving the app! I'm having trouble swiping away media. It doesn't feel sensitive enough and usually takes me several swipes. I've enabled the tap to close which works amazingly but muscle memory wants to swipe.

    Recommendation/Hope: it would be amazing to have a media peek where I can tap and hold on a thumbnail and it enlarges the picture. Awesome app, thanks!

  • Rent requirements in the US are nuts
  • Our mortgage is $2600 month. My wife has a much better paying job than me. I make $2200 a month after taxes/deductions. She is currently going through cancer treatments and although everything is looking positive it really got me thinking about what the hell does life look like for my family if something happens to my wife?

    I've had the same bus driving job for 23 years. I'm undereducated. A 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment is $1600 month here. I don't know how I'd ever be able to take care of myself and two kids.

    They want us to have 80k+ in school debt so you can be allowed to have mortgage debt or rent and own nothing. I don't know where I'm going with this but I'm just bummed out about life right now.

  • What is your all time favourite movie?
  • My favorite all time is The Count of Monte Cristo, 2002. My Cousin Vinny is my favorite feel good movie.

  • [WIP][v1.0.0-rc] Release candidate
  • I noticed this too. If you swipe with navigation visible, it temporarily zooms in on image then swipes away. If you single tap on image so navigation goes away and then swipe, it's smooth. - Still loving the swipe feature and it's not a huge deal but I hope it can eventually be addressed.

  • Connect 1.0.75 beta sign up
  • It's also showing me NSFW content that is not blurred. I also am unable to change feed settings, seems it pulls settings from Lemmy profile.

    Thank you for making comments font larger!

  • Connect 1.0.63 Released
  • Loving the app, thank you for making it. Title font size is awesome but I still have trouble with comments font even on largest setting.

    I hope you can find time to add "old man sized" fonts for comments. Thank you!

  • What app is everyone using for Lemmy
  • Jerboa for browsing everything. And then Slide while at work because I disabled NSFW in Slide.

  • What's the best movie you've seen this month?
  • Sisu. I really liked it. A dude with his gold, his dog and he just wants to be left alone but those pesky Germans keep getting in his way.

  • Favorite US based VPS?
  • BuyVM is my go to host! Great stuff.

  • Preview of new OLED Black Theme & Compact View
  • Right thumbnails would be amazing!

  • This is awesome and now my phone's background! Ty for sharing.

  • I really want to like Lemmy
  • I've been happy overall with it. I was lost at first but I set my feed to All severs and New posts. I have found some cool communities this way. I plan to stick around and I hope others do as well!

  • I use OsmAnd for Android. I pay yearly for some extra features. I mainly use it for hiking and 4wheeling but it's street navigation is pretty accurate.

  • Comfort games?
  • The new diablo 4 just released and it's perfectly fine to skip the others and go straight to 4!

  • Thoughts on Diablo 4
  • Yea I miss WW barbs lol. In D4 I'm playing a necro and it definitely feels pretty slow, but I love it. Corpse explosion makes me happy. I'm a D4 fanboy for sure.

  • Comfort games?
  • Diablo games. It's nice being able to slay demons and not put much thought into it.

    GTA, online friends mode, cruise on my motorcycle checking out scenery, ride the coasters.
