I’ve had this too. Sometimes when I would stretch to crack my sternum, I would get this wave of heat and eventual pain in my chest. So it was a gamble every time I felt that I had to crack it. It’s been a lot better in recent years but it never really went away completely.

Thanks for this comment. I was about to post about it being 2023 and not understanding why smoking is still a thing. Everyone is different I guess.

The historical movies/shows argument does makes. Live and let live I guess.

The backlash has surprised me a bit. I agree the price is a bit steep but considering the userbase is only a fraction of what Reddit has, it’s understandable that the price would be higher.

I just didn’t expect such negative reactions to either the ad component or the price. A lot have mentioned that it could become a form of gatekeeping for newcomers. I just hope it won’t turn out that way.

Very good point as well.

One thing that worries me about Foss is the eventual lack of updates and potentially become abandonware. Many people mentioned that the Foss apps protects are a side project for most developers. They could easily lose interest or have other things happen in their life that take up more of their time.

These arguments are valid for closed source as well I agree, but this being the devs main focus makes me feel better about updates in the long term.

This is the perfect list for me. Command & conquer was a gem!

I made the jump to Niagara and have enjoyed it so far. I really enjoyed Nova, but there’s no going back at this point.

My wife confirms the “gross dick” status for Ethan Hawke. She was working as a bartender back in college and he sat at the bad one night. He kept creepily propositioning her.

Firefox has always been my go-to. In my opinion more people should use it.

Manipulative/controlling behavior sent through texts with his ex that she saved, shared on twitter and told other women to avoid in their relationships. I don’t remember his ex’s name right now though.

I think this occurs because people haven’t gotten used to linking to communities on other instances properly.

They usually post the direct link like beehaw.org/c/technology . Instead they should start using the federated link which is more instance agnostic like this: /c/technology@beehaw.org . This link will load the community from your instance.

I felt kind of lost when looking for a Reddit alternative. Lemmy feels like the right alternative. It’s not perfect but it’s a better base than what we had with Reddit. I hope it picks up.
