That’s metal as hell- I mean, heaven!

For a time in the early 2000s I used IE via AvantBrowser. It had some cool features at the time! 😅

What she’s describing is incredibly awful. That’s not your average toxic workplace… I hope she’s doing better now.

I would love to think that this stuff isn’t true, but considering the red flags given off by Linus in recent weeks and months (his anti-union comments, for example), as well as the allegations made by Naomi Wu, the leaked employee handbook with its questionable contents, as well as the anonymous (ex-)employee describing a hostile work environment on the LTT subreddit some time ago… it kinda just fits, you know?

In any case, let’s wait and see how this plays out, but right now it’s not looking good for LMG. I don’t think they will shut down in any case, but surely something is going to happen.

The trickiest part will be having users pick an instance, but once past that hurdle, the federation aspect doesn’t need to be a complicating factor.

Yep, that’s the thing. When Mastodon was hot for a while, most complaints I saw were about people not getting that they can pick almost whichever instance and/or having trouble deciding because they didn’t fully understand that it usually matters very little.

Oh. I guess that’s why a few subs I submitted to some communities there have been pending for days now?

I was using Jerboa but it seems a little unstable, had it crash on me a number of times.

Currently I’m using wefwef as a Chrome app thing.

While I plan on using this platform for the forseeable future - I don’t have too high hopes.

I think it will probably go the way Mastodon is going. A few weeks of being “hot”, then dropping off until it’s pretty much business as usual, as it was before being the hot new thing. Don’t get me wrong, I want Lemmy to succeed and replace reddit, but I wouldn’t bet money on it.

I’m happy to be here. Lemmy seems like a good place so far. I’m not sure if it will take off in the long term (I think a lot of people don’t “get” the whole federated thing, just like with Mastodon), but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Probably kinda likely, I think?

Manufacturing, storing, shipping and supporting two different models of basically the same phone is probably more expensive than just deploying the one model with the removable battery everywhere.
