Yeah, I think this plus the desktop app might be a huge deal

I don't think it's actually been rolled out to the app yet. When I load up the app, I see the old voice feature, not the new mode.

Also on Reddit being a poweruser meant that you could probably sell/loan your account to shady advertisers, which isn't as much of a problem here since the Fediverse isn't monetized by ads.

Additionally, I think power users are a problem if they're just blindly spamming posts without engaging with the community, not so much if they're just organically filling the void with posts.

I <3 lemmy's prolific posters. o7

Thank heavens for your unhealthy posting habits, we need to clone you Stamets

[–] anonymoose@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

Yeah, that's a fair concern. I wish somebody would create a custom ROM you could replace the Meta shit with or something

I was in the same boat as you. I ended up getting the Quest 3, because frankly, it's one of the best headsets on the market right now. While Meta still tries it's best to vacuum my data, I've disabled as many data sharing options as I can find.

I do most of my VR gaming on PCVR through Steam Link, which is outstanding. If you have a PC and a good WiFi 6 router, you can avoid the Meta marketplace for the most part by buying PCVR games on Steam directly. That way Meta doesn't get as much data out of you.

Also, Google is a (the?) major source of funding for Mozilla, so they have a lot of clout with them.

I was never particularly into the cyberpunk genre, so I was largely immune to the Cyberpunk 2077 hype, and subsequent disappointment and anger. I'd seen tons of videos of trailers and gameplay, and never really expected to play the game myself.

I built a beast of a new PC a few days ago and picked up CP2077 on sale to put it through its paces. I loaded up Cyberpunk and my jaw was on the floor. This is the most beautiful game I've ever seen! The gameplay feels smooth and satisfying and I'm really engrossed in the lore and environment. Of course, I'm playing the 2.1 patched version of the game, so I don't know what the experience at launch would have been like. Regardless, so far it's felt like an incredible game!

Great idea! Here's mine:

Agreed. I think it dilutes user engagement, because people will leave comments on these bot threads, never to be seen by anybody else.

I went ahead and blocked it and spend time on HN along with Lemmy instead. HN discussions on those posts are always so much livelier than those sad, but interesting copycat posts.

I've been using LibreOffice as an MS Office replacement for a decade or so, although most of my documents are still on Google docs. The LibreOffice UI seems to have never really improved at all, and even the updating experience is annoying. I don't understand how such a lucrative productivity app has no developer support behind it?

OpenOffice got me really excited, because that UI seems modern and polished. It's really unfortunate that it's mostly we lb based and apparently really slow.

So yeah, 100% agree with you. LibreOffice with the OpenOffice UI would be 🔥
