Cool. Since you believe they'll figure it out, I guess that means you don't have to spam.

I've never owned any Apple product whatsoever - and yet I'm in a similar position to you. Their standings have risen in my eyes simply by keeping their badness level relatively stable while Microsoft and Google rapidly get worse.

It will outlast bs. Mastodon has been around for many years now. It already outlasted Google+, which was bigger and had more funding. And since it has a broad base of support it's unlikely that it will all just fall apart. Unlike the commercial social networks, no single person can pull the plug the fediverse. (Lemmy is younger, but it also seems very strong right now. I just hope lemmy still gets some exposure on the outside now that the major drama at reddit has died down.)

Fair enough. Thanks for the additional context.

So you got this survey in an email. Was the link intended to be shared like this? Can I find the survey link somewhere on Mozilla's own websites?

I guess I'm not totally convinced that this is an official Mozilla survey, or even if it is - I'm not sure who their target survey audience is.

I was totally fine playing HL1, and HL2, and HL2 episode 1.... but I never finished episode 2 because of motion sickness. The problem isn't really with episode 2 though. The problem is just that I got old, and now I get motion sickness from FPS games that didn't affect me before.

But I do know that not every FPS makes me sick. I think mouse-look smoothing helps. I'm not certain what else, but I'd try messing with the field-of-view angle and stuff like that.

Just mention lemmy from time to time on other platforms; not to say "please come here", but rather just to let people know that lemmy exists and has interesting stuff on it. People will check it out if they are interested.

As in "we are the knights who say jif"

I thought it was a old animated image file type.

That does sound pretty bad. I guess it really highlights the power of a monopoly. Businesses may rely on each other, but if one relies more, then they pay all costs due to necessity while the other pays nothing because they can easily outlast the pain.

Unless I've misunderstood the law, it doesn't hurt small engines, because small search engines don't have to pay.

I've never see anyone respond with hostility to any 'how to' question on mastodon. What you've described sounds totally unlike anything I've seen there. So if you have a link to your discussion, I'd be interested in seeing how that happened.
