What do you do with your time after leaving Reddit?
  • I said in my final paragraph that Lemmy is nice but there is so little content here. The communities I frequent here (with very active reddit counterparts) have like a submission every few days. Just check !football@lemmy.world for example.

    What do you do with your time after leaving Reddit?

    I am trying to cut out Reddit from my life but I'm always ending up re-installing it because I simply don't know what do with my time. We have two small kids (1y and 3y) so I can't simply just read more, train more, play games, watch TV, etc.

    It's rather.. Reddit filled those small micro breaks I get throughout the day. When I have a few minutes on my own when my wife has the kids.

    Lemmy is nice but it's just not enough content to fill this need. I have been thinking about Blinkist or reading something lighter on my phone (something which is easy to take a break from whenever).

    Pixel 9/9 Pro/XL leaked
  • I'm on Pixel 7 Pro and after this winter (dry hands) I'm leaning towards iPhone. I'm so sick of failing the fingerprint scanner 3-4 times before having to resort to the pin code.

    FaceID worked so well on the Pixel 4 XL - why isn't any Android manufacturer picking it up??

  • Fedora Linux 40 Cleared For Release Next Week
  • My first gig as a software developer offered Fedora23 I think it was if you wanted Linux. Would be interesting to see how much has changed but I don't really have a machine to just throw fedora on

  • EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy
  • I was close to it. I'm an advocate for paying for services I use. We're way too used to getting everything for free and we should be willing to pay for services we appreciate.

    Which made me realise that Facebook especially I don't appreciate. So I quit instead. It had value to me once but those times are long gone.

  • Reddit wants to raise $748M with IPO, sets value at $6.4B
  • Who cares, we're leaving an economy where no one cared about profitability. Just growth. It's all about whether they can capitalize on that growth now.

    Spotify was the same. Turned a profit the first quarter after shifting the focus towards profitability.

  • Reddit wants to raise $748M with IPO, sets value at $6.4B
  • I've never seen the view of an IPO so heavily affected by bias. Superusers hate Reddit but so what - what matters is whether soccer moms are scrolling and being shown ads. No one cares that the most costly users are unsatisfied. You and me both are nothing to investors.

    Is there some objective analysis of this IPO? All I'm seeing is "I'm a superuser who spent a lot of time on Reddit in 2007 and it was far superior back then. The stock will tank."

  • [Man Utd] Club statement on Mason Greenwood
  • Most likely he played it off as rape fantasy role play or something? If he tells the police that what it was and he manages to get her to tell the same story and she drops the charges - there's not much the police can do.

    Ofc it's bullshit but that's my guess how it played out at least.

  • [Match Thread] Spurs vs Manchester United
  • When ETH is inevitably let go in the future, he will go on and win the CL with Dortmund or something. Meanwhile, United will appoint the next manager to fail at getting this bunch of players to care for more than 45 minutes at the time.

  • [ManUtd] Update on Mason Greenwood
  • Oh come on, his girlfriend didn't give him another chance. It's either a financial situation where she realises she's much better off financially if she "forgives" him or there's too much pressure from people to not be the person who "ruined" Greenwood's career.

    Mason Greenwood is a monster, a horrible human being and thrash. He shouldn't be anywhere near this club. Rich people shouldn't be able to get away with this shit just because they are rich or good at kicking a ball.

  • 🍻 The Lounge: Daily Discussion Thread
  • Yesterday, I tried to think of ways I could accept Greenwood back into the team. Like what if he issued a public apology, donated all his wages to charities for preventing domestic violance, and committed himself to changing?

    But even then I couldn't get myself to think that I could cheer for him in the team. I don't think he wants to change and I don't think he can change. Any "change" or effort would just be a PR stunt.

    Nah fuck him. I don't want to watch him. I'll skip matches when he's in the squad.

  • Varför är Riksbankens främsta vapen mot inflation något som gynnar storbankerna?

    Rätta mig om jag har fel men Riksbanken ökar styrräntan vilket leder till att folk betalar mer ränta på sina bolån vilket betyder att de inte längre har råd att konsumera vilket leder till att priserna sjunker vilket leder till att inflationen är inbromsad?

    Och vinnarna i detta är storbankerna som täljer guld med smörkniv.

    Det känns som att samma effekt borde gå att uppnå men med något medel där pengarna används till något nyttigt? Typ en inflationsskatt och sen stoppas pengarna in i välfärden eller något istället?

    Eller missar jag någon aspekt som gör att det är oundvikligt att behöva stoppa mer och mer pengar i storbankernas fickor?

    Browsers with digital wellbeing features built in?

    Hi!

    I have some serious smartphone addiction I'm trying to get on top of. I've tried to uninstall all time consuming apps from my phone but have realised I tend to start using the web version when I don't have the app.

    So far I haven't found any browsers where I can either block certain websites or limit the time I'm allowed to spend on them.

    Anyone know if those browsers exist?
