I was gonna say I think I liked reddit more before the digg folks came. Maybe Lemmy is right where it should be.

Spotify supports this already (between any devices you're logged into), and it's suuuuuuuuuuuper nice. This is gonna be an excellent QoL upgrade.

On a related note, does anyone know of cases with a headphone jack built into it? It seems like an obvious thing to make, but I've only seen them mentioned for iPhone.

The main thing for me is simply that the audio connector doesn't pull out nearly as easily as USB-c. Secondary is the fact that I prefer things that don't need to be charged.

I use wireless buds at work, but whenever I'm home, I prefer to use wired headphones. It's definitely a different strokes for different folks situation.

Chicken just isn't gonna need to be that precise. It's not an ingredient that mixes with others in that way. That being said, chicken is an item that most recipes would mention by weight. Nobody is going to actually weigh out the chicken; they'll just go with a close measurement, or use potentially use the packaging it came in for reference.

I think they mean concepts like morning and evening, or day and night would remain. The difference would be that in London, midnight would be 12:00am, but in San Fransisco, midnight would be... 16:00 / 4:00pm. Each timezone would have to adjust the numbers, in the same way the southern hemisphere considers January to be in the summer.

Not at all a solution, but worth mentioning that in a YouTube URL you can replace /shorts/ with /v/ and get the normal player for the same video.

That's a different situation though. A green arrow means you have full right of way to make the turn. Right-on-red is more like a stop sign.

I'm using a set of klipsch 4.1's as we speak, and used to drive them with an Audigy 2.

It also has a light mode now. I know that was a drawback for some folks when it was first being mentioned.

Getting a teeny bit slammed for your comment, but I think the simpler answer is: you probably wouldn't. If instagram is working for you and yours, then I'd imagine you'll stay there. That's totally fine. This is a thread about federated alternatives, though, so the overall subject may not apply to you.

I like pixelfed because a) it doesn't have ads for 2/3 of the content, b) it doesn't have reels (which IMO go against the entire point of instagram to begin with), and c) I'm specifically not looking for pictures of my friends. For me, instagram is a platform for discovering art from other people. It still works for that, but there's so much other stuff on there getting in the way. Pixelfed is "back to basics" for what I'm looking for in an art sharing platform.

 

I gather some server is for some arcane reason censoring naughty words to protect our delicate sensibilities. Is it on my end, on lemmy.ml? Is it the server people are posting from? Is it something happening in the federation? Is it the Romulans?

edit: thanks /u/similideano@sopuli.xyz for the answer
