I keep getting this spam as well, from different accounts but the same ‘Nicole’. Different photos as well (of the same person). I’ve just been blocking them but it’s really annoying because blocking them doesn’t stop then from messaging me from different accounts.

I’d highly recommend Kagi! You can customise your search results as well, so you can make sure some websites show up more often than others (or even not at all), or higher up/lower down on the list.

I’m on POP!_OS. I’m sorry to hear it doesn’t fix it. :( I wonder if a recent update caused this.

I’ve been experiencing something similar lately and what I found helps is to go to your audio settings in your OS and change the audio output device to something else and then change it back to the correct one. If it doesn’t work the first try, try again.

I hope that helps. It works for me. I never had this issue until recently. It’s really annoying. :-/

Baldur’s Gate 3, mostly. But I’ve been playing Pathfinder Wrath of The Righteous when the others in the group I play with can’t play.

Oh, and some Cities Skylines II here and there. Works reasonably well with the controller, but it’s not perfect.

The minimum speed requirement is 15Mbps for 720p and 25Mbps for 1080p (at 60 FPS). For higher resolutions/FPS it’s around 45-50Mbps.

See the system requirements on their website.

I’m from Europe, and for years I’d been using WhatsApp because everyone expected me to even though I didn’t feel comfortable using it at all (because I care about my privacy and apparently not all of my friends/family members do). At some point I was forced to accept new terms that basically said it was okay for them to sell my data and that’s where I drew the line and told everyone that I would no longer be using WhatsApp and that if they wanted to reach me they could call me, text me or message me on Telegram. I immediately uninstalled it.

I noticed friends and family found it a bit odd and inconvenient that I’d stopped using WhatsApp. And many companies seem to use WhatsApp to contact their customers (why can’t they just email me instead…) and it seems they automatically assume everyone uses it, which I find a bit annoying. But ever since uninstalling it no one has been able to convince me to reinstall it and I plan to keep it that way.

Thanks so much for everything!

I have an account and never posted anything because it feels intimidating to post my first…post there. (Do people on Mastodon call it post or is there a different word similar to Twitter’s ‘tweets’?).

It looks really good though, but I find it more intimidating than Lemmy / kbin!

But Huffman says the “pure infrastructure costs” of supporting these apps costs Reddit about $10 million each year.

Eh, so although, according to him, the third party apps cost Reddit 10 million per year, he still decided that 20 million a year from a single third party app developer is reasonable? I think he needs to learn some basic math…

Hang on, when I go to the Reddark website now a bunch of subreddits have gone from private to public. Is it because it’s the 14th or because someone intervened with the protest?

Wow! And it was around 11000 last weekend?! This is great!

Actually I accidentally clicked a Reddit link on Google earlier today and (I don’t remember the subreddit) my first thought was: I’m pretty sure this subreddit took part in the blackout so why can I see its posts like nothing happened?

Yeah, I always like to check Reddit just before I go to sleep, to get sleepy, or when I can’t sleep. Or when I’m waiting for something and there’s nothing else to do to pass the time at that moment. So I’ll automatically open Joey and…well, I guess that’s the end of that.

I had to remove the Joey app from my home screen and replace it with the Jerboa app (as in, put it in the same spot) because I kept accidentally opening Joey. -.-

Me too!

I felt kind of bad last night knowing I might not ever be able to see my favourite subreddits again but honestly, I just moved to Lemmy and so far the community seems super nice and it’s nice to be a part of something new and refreshing.

People actually feel like people here, not some randoms, if you know what I mean. Reminds me of the good old days where I had a bunch of forums I frequented instead of just Reddit. I like it!
