Wow I didn’t know that. Good thing I switched to a different instance (although it was mostly due to poor performance on lemmy.ml at the time).

The hack on reddit used to be to hijack a top comment. Post something vaguely related to that comment, then add whatever you wanna add. It's silly that this was required at all.

It’s a terrible tale of oppression if you read between the blocks.

I never understood why „video-podcasts“ never cought on. Everybody would host their own videos or provides peer-to-peer links and it can be presented basically like a YouTube feed in compatible apps.

As a cherry on top, a compatible app could also support YouTube and download videos from there liked piped or invidious.

I switched from Adobe to Affinity a few years back. The interfaces of the Affinity apps are way better and the apps work much smoother and even have fully fledged iPad versions. There was not really a learning curve for me other than googling very specific stuff every now and then.

The biggest issue is probably that there’s no feature parity between the Affinity and Adobe apps yet. So every once in a while a feature might just be missing.

I’d suggest to just check out the trial versions or even buy the apps right away if your financial situation allows it.

Huge fan of Tantacrul. His Sibelius video is still amazing and this one was super informative and interesting. I never thought about different modern or ancient styles of musical notation (since I'm not a musician) and the way he explains it is simply great.

No friends there either.

Well to be fair I'm still enjoying Mastodon a lot and Pixelfed too (which is the better Instagram replacement) but pretty much everyone I follow is somebody I don't know in real life. Instagram is great to see what your extended circle of friends is doing.

Eh, I‘d do it if it meant the services respected privacy and actually put the users first.

Paying for what these big services currently are? Hell no.

I wasn’t looking into paying for it. This popped up upon opening the app.

I‘d suggest a used M1 MacBook Air with 16 GB of RAM. They should be relatively cheap now and they’re still great machines.

Two main reasons I think:

  • it’s easier to make a big phone as there’s more space for all the components
  • the average consumer doesn’t use computers as much anymore, so people start using their phone for all kinds of things where they benefit from the bigger screen

But how would I flex my wealth to the peasants then? /s
