I guess a weak jobs report here is also part of it?

Maybe I can help!

But… It’s your post taking about negativity, so you’re saying your post about negativity on Lemmy is evidence of negativity on Lemmy? Or the fact the current vote count is negative?

Huh. Maybe it’s the communities/posts I’ve visited but I wouldn’t agree with your assessment of an inherent negativity/hatefulness. Do you have examples we can discuss?

The Glass Menagerie. Introduction of sad, boring characters. Nothing happens. The end.

I don’t know the answer to that, exactly, but I see shit loads of people with Android phones using air pods.

Fuck yeah. What’s your preferred place to get from? Johnnies is the one I’m most familiar with and enjoy.

Beeper Mini, I can agree the reason for existing is stupid. Not Beeper as a whole. I greatly like having a one stop shop for all of my messaging platforms. It’s a straight up fucking pain in the ass to have Messages, Messenger, Whatsapp, Discord, Telegram, LinkedIn, and more all having their own specific applications with separate lists of people in them. Gaim/Pidgin/Trillian/Adium had the right idea back in the day and if it isn’t done at an application level like Beeper, then I would really like it done at an OS level where all apps of a communication/chat type have their notifications and interactivity bundled. There’s going to be platform exclusive features that don’t have parity that wouldn’t be able to be part through or presented the same, but communications are such a base level function of these devices and the generally one-application-at-a-time type of display of phones makes the balkanization of communication mediums even more annoying.

Yeah, unfortunately been a thing since the gesture navigation was implemented. Somewhat recently I’ve gone back to the three button navigation so I could use Nova but I’m using Pie navigation so I can have the swiping to go back and also gives me some customisability to do some additional actions while swiping.

I found the mind share that Apple enjoys makes this kind of inverted when things don’t run right on OSX or iOS whereas android is more in the Windows boat.

Excellent choice. The dubbed version, done of course by first year theater actors, would make it even worse.

I could be wrong but I think at one point the outside sources toggle was just a one time thing and affected all applications.

Well, there existed phones that were kind of what smartphones became. Blackberries and Palms get a lot of the attention as they were what executives used, but there were also PocketPC devices that were usually white label manufactured HTC devices that were branded after carriers or some other company like HP. They generally were much larger screened devices with a few buttons at the bottom. They were resistive touchscreens so using your fingers was pretty meh for responsiveness, and the UI was just not designed in a way that was pleasant to navigate. Picture a shrunk down desktop interface. I’d say the UI was the biggest shakeup that they did in the product category, followed by steadily raising the bar for hardware in a space that often would have cheap plastic components. Don’t get me wrong, I think too much glass and aluminum is actually poorer than something like kevlar especially for dents and dings, but it doesn’t look nearly as sexy.

Super Ted! My wife and I loved that when each of us were little. It’s one of those things that we’ve found that most people here in the States don’t know about but we have in common.

They’re totally, definitely, absolutely not Jessica!

Called half splitting in troubleshooting terms when I was in the Navy.

Which wouldn’t have necessarily been a death knell, except by the point Microsoft had gotten their eggs into the Windows Phone basket, major platforms had already started shutting down functionality that could be accessed through third party applications so the App Store/Play Store official versions were the clearly superior ways to use the platforms.

In many cases, like with reddit even, third party applications are how many people have preferred to access these platforms, so long as the platform doesn’t lock down the API to kneecap them.

The migration from Play Music wasn’t great for me. There are multiple songs that for whatever reason used a random YouTube upload for the match rather than an existing official one.

Final fantasy 6! The renditions of the victory fanfare and chocobo theme are terrific and multiple other songs are dramatic, exciting, enthralling. And there are some legit jams on the soundtrack, too. The Veldt, Magitek Factory, and Zozo all are amazing.

Other games music that are great are Tropico, Frostpunk, and RimWorld.

lol you better not be dead in the next month or so!

I think Adium was, or now that I’m looking at Wikipedia became the OSX(as it was named at the time) implementation of Gaim/Pidgin. Was its own thing but started getting Gaim/Pidgin stuff implemented in it. Trillian, I think, was distinct because it was a closed source commercial product whereas the Gaim/Pidgin/Adium has always been an open source free kind of deal.
