For me Seattle will always mean grunge and I’m stuck in the 90s.

Oh, gonna try them too. Thanks for the tip!

That’s my music player too.

Both (Sync and Boost) are, in my opinion, the best Lemmy apps. An extensive set of features and customisation, lovely interface, they are 5 star products.

Back in time, a long time ago, when I was 19 and spent about a year traveling abroad, I learned that a bidet in the bathroom isn’t a standard everywhere. Couldn’t understand why.

Same with F for Facebook!

Don’t remember right now. Been reading a couple of Israeli news sites in English, al-Jazeera, and some other news sites, so whatever I say to you now might be misguided. Anyway, as far as I recall right now it wasn’t speculation.

Well, the fact that most of them went back to Gaza makes me doubt that previously quoted number.

In any case, I hope Hamas gets an obliterating hit and can’t recover, and that Israel remembers that not all Gaza is Hamas, so this is over as soon as possible with no more innocent lives lost.

Just answering to the first question: As of today, according to Israeli media, that number is quite off.

Yep. I never use sms nor other messaging systems save for WhatsApp. Not that I’m a fan of it since it was bought by Facebook, but it is what everybody here uses, and it works quite well, reliably, and has an interesting set of features.

I somehow envy your optimism.

Thanks a lot for that link. I am a hardcore science fiction nerd, yet I had never crossed paths with that one. Indeed relevant in this debate, too.

Only n00bs build their own kernel, OS, compiler, and coding language, and they already have that program built in. Cool people create their own universe, with different laws of physics and constants, then they make it act as a whole computing entity capable of anything, it then creates a simulation in which we discuss this stuff.

Same principle as with cassettes/music tapes.

There still are. I bought mine a year and a couple of months ago and it has FM radio and a 3.5 mm jack. And it’s a great phone.

I had an old Moto phone with an FM radio that worked without headphones, although it was stated that with headphones plugged in reception would be much better (which was true). My current phone (a Moto one too) has FM radio, and I use it.

I never had a phone without FM radio. It’s one of the features I actually want in my phone.

Have you clicked to see the VIP services?

Not that I like it, and I really do like certain Linux distros, but in my case I have to use some software that runs well on Windows and isn’t available under Linux. Alternatives aren’t as good, and the versions I need don’t run well (or not at all) on WINE. As far as proprietary OSs go, I find Mac OS much better than windows, both in general user interface, integration and how smooth it runs and feels, but as a choice it’s even more expensive than Windows. Better, yes, but more expensive.

When/if the software I need find runs under Linux I’ll stop using windows, I guess.

This one is just one answer to your question. I’m sure there might be some more.

Edit: runs

Same for me. But I don’t use Reddit’s own app on mobile. I use Boost, because it’s still allowed for moderators, since Reddit’s app is shit for that. Doesn’t matter if you aren’t yet a moderator. Go there on a browser on a PC or Mac. Create a new subreddit. Great, now you’re its moderator. Then enter with Boost (on Android), and that’s it.

Anyway, the more people leave Reddit to cross the pond and get to Lemmy, the best.
