What do you secretly judge people for?
  • There’s this dude at the gym who watches netflix on his phone between sets, taking 10+ minute breaks while people wait in line to use the machine.

    I normally try to be charitable about these things. I have no idea if he has some type of fatigue issue or something along those lines justifying the long breaks, right?

    But I need to actively push my thoughts in this direction, in some probably misguided attempt to cultivate kindness within my own life. Truth is there’s just something infuriating about watching a movie while sitting in the building’s only leg extension

  • Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit?
  • Yeah, I love it and actually prefer it to my old reddit experience for general browsing.

    What isn’t quite there yet is the ability to like, sit down all day and scroll and post in a community dedicated to my current hyperfixation of the week. Be it guitar maintenance, some indie game, or whatever.

    But reddit also didn’t have that when I started using it. Excited to hang here and watch the garden grow

  • Is it possible to be comfortable with two desktop OSs (e.g. shortcuts, mouse)
  • I use both at the same desk. I even use the same (windows layout) keyboard on both, and somehow I’m even able to reflexively remember to switch which hotkeys I use, such as win+c and win+v instead of ctrl+c and ctrl+v for copy/paste. I did eventually have to switch the default scroll direction for my mouse wheel though, those being different was just too much lol

  • Injuries at different ages [Extra Fabulous Comics]
  • External* testicles are legit really cool though, they change their distance from your body to regulate temperature

    *they also can and will retract all the way inside your body if it’s cold enough

  • PlayStation Will Use AI and Machine Learning to Speed up Game Development
  • For me personally, the solution I prefer to see for “Our idea for this game is shaping up to be packed full assets that will swamp development” is for them to find some excuse to cut the content. Genuinely. Artistry thrives in the presence of limitations.

    Have an AI naturally grow the forest. Wait, there are plenty of games already doing that

    What games out of curiosity? You don’t just mean normal procedural generation which has been around forever? It’s not the same as using AI to generate a million different haircuts.

  • Don’t Ask AI Which Rocks You Can Lick.
  • Google has been rolling out a thing where an AI result is the first thing that pops up, often taking up the whole screen lol. I’ve personally witnessed tons of people google something normally, then just go with whatever the AI says.

    Makes me shake my head, but it’s not like they were very discerning with their sources before all this nonsense, either. Hopefully they don’t rely on it for any important medical advice down the road

  • how is final fantasy XVI
  • Honestly I’ve done just about everything over the years except ultimates (I play with IRL friends and I’m happy if we can clear a savage tier lol)

    If I had to pick a “main” activity I think it would be parsing tbh, I really enjoy chasing the numbers. I level up all jobs and also try to perfect at least the basic rotation for all of them. I’ll hang out on party finder and jump into extreme farms on off jobs to practice.

    But there’s also been months where I’ve done nothing but like, ocean fishing, diadem, pvp (I love crystal conflict, best part about endwalker to me) and so on. That’s been one of my favorite things about the game; you can get totally wrapped up in a huge project. Almost like you can play the game to take a break from playing the game. Just recently we’ve gotten into treasure maps, super chill

  • How do I question the engineering physics of magnetic fields in a guitar pickup?
  • there should be a subtle difference between the two signals

    Not really. It sounds generally like you’re overvaluing the role of a plane relative to the magnetic poles. The string moves somewhat circularly, like a jump rope. It doesn’t matter how you angularly orient the pickups, all else being equal.

    As for per-string pickips, hey, I’m all for it. Give me 6 output jacks as well so that each string can get its own effects chain.

    Have you ever considered getting into synthesizers? Based on your thoughts I feel like you’d really enjoy making synth patches

  • It's everyone's cake day

    I started seeing cakes appear on people’s usernames, and I realized that it’s been a full year now since the great debacle through which many of us discovered lemmy.

    Seeing them all start to pop up at once has made me a bit nostalgic. Memmy was such an exciting and important project during that time, I believe for many people it is the reason they stuck with lemmy in the long term.

    So, cheers to the devs, and to anyone who still checks on this community from time to time when memmy crosses their mind.

    Were our image links deleted?

    So, I noticed that a couple of my image uploads made using Voyager now just show a “?” graphic. Looking around this community, I’m seeing a lot of other people’s posts are like that too.

    In other apps and via browser, the images are also missing. Is anyone else experiencing this/do we know what’s happening?

    Certain posts causing instability

    I noticed while scrolling All that whenever these posts are displayed, the app lags out significantly, but then returns to normal a few seconds after they’re off screen.

    I suspect it’s actually just the top one because it’s a gif. Running latest test test flight version

    Is anyone else getting really crazy lag after suspending the app then returning to it?

    Behavior started a few updates ago for me. If I go to answer a text or check any other app, when I come back to Memmy the app won’t let me click on posts for 10-20 seconds

    PSA for lemmy.world users

    Lemmy.world was experiencing authentication issues yesterday, making it difficult to comment and vote.

    These issues were resolved some hours ago when lemmy.world updated to 18.02, but you may still be experiencing issues with your account on third party apps such as memmy.

    If so, everything will start working normally if you remove your account from the app and add it again! Possibly just reinstalling will also achieve the same thing, but I haven’t tested that personally.

    Toggle to remove username from top of screen?

    It feels weird having it there in big bold letters all the time. I sometimes want to show someone a post or talk about lemmy in general, but I’m apprehensive about them learning my account name.

    Disable Left/Right swipes?

    In Apollo, there was this really interesting feature that let you disable the gestures for voting/replying/etc. If you did so, then you could use the entire screen to navigate between posts instead of needing to swipe all the way from the side.

    I struggle with a repetitive stress injury and this feature helped me a lot! I managed to grab a screenshot of the exact setting before Apollo shut down. It would be awesome if something similar could be implemented in Memmy

    Do you have any pillow recommendations?

    I’ve been sleeping on the same one for a few years but it’s become really lumpy. I don’t mind spending a little money, but are the modern “high tech” pillows really worth it?

    Is there a way to view saved posts?

    I noticed I can save posts from the app but don’t see where to view the posts I’ve saved
