Don’t worry, your pessimism isn’t totally misplaced. See that big “natural gas” line?
Natural gas is just a more palatable word for methane, and burning methane is still putting an enormous amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. But methane by itself is like 10x worse than CO2 and the EPA estimates as much as 10% of all methane for domestic use ends up in the atmosphere. Fun!
That’s not run down, that’s a warehouse. Is it falling apart? Is the flooring worn? Are the walls cracking? Ceilings leaking? That’s what run down means, not whatever your weird complaint is about the decor and color scheme is.
Elden Ring. Been on a souls like kick, so decided to do another playthrough. Haven’t played in over a year I don’t think so it’s time!
Okay but FR wtf is usenet. I’ve never known, and I’m old enough to be able to say that I should
I’m sure plenty of people would understand it, but I’m struggling with a project at work where I’ve got an operator giving me bad data, and the project appears unsafe and I need to decide and convince my management if we’re going to object to it or not.
Thanks, I’m downloading it now!
Newsblur right now. I don’t want ads, and I like the f-droid disabled the intrusive options from the playstore.
Any other reader recs? Not married to it by any means, I like it well enough. I don’t like that I can’t browse by folder or by everything without a premium subscription though. $99/year is extreme for my uses, wish there was a more palatable option for intermediate users. Still, it’s easy enough to jump between topics.
Thanks! Yeah I figured I would ask in each of the communities in looking for content in vs mass asking in a larger forum. Thanks for the recs, I added several! Krebs, techspot, anandtech seem great!
Speak of the Devil the ROCKET SHIP HAS LANDED MY DUDE!!!
Okay, I gave it a solid six hour test drive. There’s a lot to like, but I gotta abe honest I’m still not loving it. I don’t like that the nav bar is permanently stickied to the bottom, and I can’t find a way to move it. Even on the android beta mode, I don’t like that the icons are still iPhone themed, and I wish the color theming was more pronounced. I also wish you could re-tap to blur NSFW like you can in connect/thunder/eternity (probably my favorite feature in social scrolling apps). I do like that you can block communities with a long press but in my short testing I found it to be buggy - sometimes it works and sometimes it just vibrates but nothing happens - and I wish it was just an option in the three dots menu instead.
Despite the gripes, it is very slick though and I can see why people like it. I really like the sync-esque (though much less aggressive) use of negative space between posts, and the layout has a nice subtly to it that I think looks much nicer than Connect, on par with eternity. I’ll be the first to admit that of the major apps Ive used (Thunder, Connect, Jerboa, Voyager, Eternity, sync) Connect’s post layout is bottom three, but in terms of ease of use, quick navigation, and feature density it’s my favorite, which is why I prefer it. I also like that in voyager, some lesser used options are a little shrunk/out of the way (like post sorting). It can be harder to find at first but options you won’t touch often should be less pronounced IMO, and voyager does that really well. I didn’t get any push notifications so I can’t weigh on on how well that stuff works. Also the icon choices are FUCKING SWEET. I legit might steal one to use on my homepage.
I’m also waiting for boost! Really hoping they haven’t abandoned ship on it, feels like they might’ve given up. That last UI update for boost before the shutoff was SO DOPE, and it always was my favorite Reddit App. Honestly I think I like connect because it’s the most like boost. Nowhere near as polished, but almost every UI/interactive option is in the same spot or executed the same as it was on boost, so it feels the most intuitive to me.
“I’m kinda horny”
“Should we bone tonight?”
“When do you wanna have sex”
“Hold on let me brush my teeth”

Seek therapy.
Return all that shit, sell your keyboard, and buy one with USB instead.
I didn’t like iPhone layout and UI which was the only option during the initial release, and never went back to it. I heard they added an android skin from another user but I haven’t found time to try it yet.
You lost me at lemmitors
Well that’s why I shouldn’t comment while trying to go to sleep then, isn’t it?
Oh I see. Okay then yes this is unpopular - people got sick of rounded backs because you can’t use them flat, they wobble.
I have no fucking idea what anyone in this thread is talking about. The iPhone has and has always had rounded corners. Fucking everyone phone has round corners. The only phones I can even think of that didn’t have rounded corners were a Windows phone from like a decade ago and the LG V30 that nobody bought.
What are they talking about anyone know?
Same. The meme overload on the /all/ sort can be kind of obnoxious but it’s so easy to block communities that it’s a minor nuisance.
YES, methane stays in the atmosphere a shorter duration as methane, but most of it naturally breaks down into CO2 which then stays in the atmosphere just as long as all the other CO2. It is much worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas.
