As a ‘front page of the internet’ it has been a pretty great replacement for me as it’s where I go each day to just see what’s going on. However, due to the smaller size you do lose a lot of the activity in more niche communities and the sheer volume of posts/comments compared to Reddit. That’s the biggest downside. Still, you also lose the incessant ads/bad UI/UX decisions and ever accelerating late stage capitalism driven enshittification so that’s a big plus.

I think the point about the 3 year upgrade cycle being optimal unless you are a real enthusiast is right on the money. I’d say I’m moderately interested in tech improvements in this space and it seems ideal for me as I will be considering an upgrade from an iPhone 13 Pro (likely informed by how gimmicky or actually useful the Apple Intelligence stuff becomes and if I can offload my ChatGPT Pro subscription). If you’re really not a huge phone tech person or looking for the best camera quality then every 4 years is probably completely reasonable as well. At that point, the battery life is probably starting to suffer as well…

What a well-timed and interesting video. I just saw my doctor earlier today and we discussed medications to address my anxiety which appears to be exacerbated or induced by ADHD. He told me about the difficulties getting stimulant drugs and ended up prescribing bupropion (Wellbutrin) instead partly due to this issue. He did not make any mention of the role that the DEA or the profiteering of drug companies has apparently played in this situation.

Tend to start with top (day) for my subs and then switch to scaled once I get down to posts that are below 100 upvotes or so to see more posts from smaller communities that can’t make that ‘top’ cut.

Or you already use Proton Mail / Drive etc and want to save a bit of money with Proton Unlimited at 9.99 EUR/USD / mo. That’s why I switched from Mullvad. I do agree that overall though Mullvad is the best in terms of trustworthiness (so far as we know anyway)

Furiously hammers X to doubt

Not exactly what I was thinking of but still worth a sub!

TBH This might be a good enough idea to merit a whole community of people just posting singular cool screenshots of games they are playing. Could be a cool low-effort visual way to document what folks are into at the moment. Kind of like a visual version of those ‘what are you playing’ weekly threads that used to be everywhere.

Maybe 1-3 times a day. I find that the newest version of ChatGPT (4o) typically returns answers that are faster and better quality than a search engine inquiry, especially for inquiries that have a bit more conceptualization required or are more bespoke (i.e give me recipes to use up these 3 ingredients etc) so it has replaced search engines for me in those cases.

It looks like it will support DLSS3 (frame generation) so if you have a 40 series card (or almost any card with a bit of time to install that DLSS to FSR3 mod) that should be a nice boost.

I wonder what the reason was for dropping the wheel cover display idea. Too gimmicky? Too much weight? Too complicated/costly to implement?

Not sure. I’ve never heard of that one. I’ll check it out though.

That would also be great

Yeah I’d love one for how restaurants and companies treat their workers. There was a group that made something like that for the NYC area years back I think but I don’t believe it ever took off. I believe it was released by ROC.

Yeah, that is a truly god awful name. Not just because of the stupid sponsors in the name, but also it will almost certainly need to be shortened in order to actually make it less of a mouthful. I’m guessing people will just call them Racing Bulls, except that is kind of close to Red Bull’s main team name and could be confusing. VCARB?

Thanks for all the ongoing development work. If you all haven’t you should definitely consider an ongoing donation to support the project. I joined Lemmy a few years ago but ever since Reddit imploded and went full greed-mode in preparation for the IPO it has been my primary social link aggregator. Been on a monthly ongoing donation since then.

I there a changelog available?

I had a similar issue on watchOS 9 and apple after many attempts would not help me revert the update which seems to have caused the issue. I ended up having to pay for Apple care and get a replacement watch, which I refuse to let update. Pretty annoying. I definitely won’t be allowing my current one to update to version 10 now. It’s sad that the bar is this low, but at least Apple doesn’t force you to update in this case (at least so far)

Looks great! Any recommended recipes? Never tried it but love Thai generally.

AMD only and not Nvidia? That’s what I was seeing based on a quick search. Unfortunately, I don’t have an AMD GPU.
