    decentralizing tech

    Using a digital clock and a watch reduce my frequency of checking my phone for the time. I think a big part of time usage on phones stems from, "what time is it" and then you open your phone to check, to then "while i'm logged in let me check for a few notifications on some apps." I found that...

    decentralizing tech

    If you don't want to go back to like DVD players for media, getting a separate offline media server dedicated device (that only does that thing) or maybe with limited online features for seem less video file transfers. The idea of it is that you have a device that can't be touched by apple or...

    The end of Discord?

    Could forums provide an alternative? I would say it depends. It gets legally tricky even in the u.s. . because even if some states had ruled age verification unconstitutional this hasn't exactly made it to the supreme court so this is a state by state basis. You could just bank on your site...

    decentralizing tech

    recently I started decentralizing my tech so not everything I do is on an only device with age verification requirements. Do I want to play so basic video games, play my offline Nintendo DS lite (which I got for 55$ which is honestly kinda of unreal when you look at how much consoles now a days...

    The end of Discord?

    In the u.s there is some hope against age verification. In some states like Ohio the courts had actually ruled that social media age verification to be blocked as unconstitutional. However this likely doesn't apply to every single state in the u.s. The worst of these laws were actually made in...

    How do people make friends on fedi?

    You could try commenting on more peoples posts. It might just be as simple as branching out. I would try to avoid spam commenting on like- every post you see, instead if you see someone posting something you are interested in, comment. like, boost etc.

    Trying to use the forum site on lower end browsers. (could spawn into multiple posts over time trying other browsers.)

    I wanted to post some detail of ram usage in various browsers that I brought up in the post. Firefox can use around 900 mb or ram while Midori even using the some browser engines as Firefox (gecko) uses less ram. By not having as much extension support, and lack of features. Chrome can easily...

    Why are forums not as popular as they used to be?

    Ok. What you could try is google searching for an online anime forums, there's a few of those around. idk how active they are now a days. but I assume they are around. You might have to do some digging in Google results in scrolling. My specific reference to Lemmy was because that it was...

    Why are forums not as popular as they used to be?

    Some people blame centralized social media. Which to an extent, yes. But actually, I think it has to do with everything being centralized on app stores. The modern forums would be say apps like kik, or dare I say, Amino apps (which has gone downhill ever since they quite letting users make new...

    ok so the Nintendo Switch 2 is the first Nintendo console i'm not buying. steam deck all I'll need for the next 10 years or 5.

    I like Nintendo's intellectual property history. Mario on the NES was cool. Mario World on the Gameboy advance was cool. (cause I liked the vivid colors of the game over the original SNES game.) Mario kart, Super Smash Bros. Splatoon. Kid icarus NES edition. To sum up what i'm actually trying...

    The irony of trying to advertise the Fediverse to the outside - some ideas about the fediverse I had beyond just micro-blogging

    Try advertising Lemmy to Reddit users (not tech savvy users), who already have a grasp on communities. They might also get confused. "Why is there another server for the same platform Lemmy/Mastodon?" "why is it so complicated,I need to first find a server to join, how does this work?" The...
