How’s everyone liking this so far?
  • I've had a lot of issues trying to subscribe as well. Even searching in Jerboa has been a bit of an issue, I've had to go onto my computer and search for a community I know that exists and subscribe that way. It won't otherwise even show up in the app.

    All things I'm sure will get ironed out soon enough. I quite like this whole thing, if I'm being honest. Doesnt have angsty reddit bullshit yet either, but I'm sure that will soon follow when the problematic mods start showing up.

  • Welcome to Calgary on lemmy.ca
  • Please don't give it to the Calgary mods. Let's start something new. It's time to stop giving them so much attention, and power (if you will).

    Pretty please, let's start something new, without the amount of censorship that goes on at r/calgary. It doesn't really need modded yet anyways. If something offends anyone, I implore them, move past it and move on with your day. If you don't like the conversation, don't participate.

  • The deed is done!
  • Jerboa as well, on android. I actually just figured it out, I have to long press on the comment and the option to reply will drop down. I feel like my father using this app, but I sort of love it. I'm figuring it out!

  • Planning on building a PC, anything I should know?
  • For sure, I run an 5800x3d and a 4070ti on a 850, but I had to replace the 650 that I built with in 2020 to do that. Two power supplies in three years could have been averted if I had just bought a bit more than I needed the first time. It sucks having to completely rewire an already built computer too.

  • Reddit Wave and the Threadiverse
  • I disagree. Going public hasn't served any tech company, except the founders, well. The changes announced thus far, are only the icing on the cake for what's to come. They pretty clearly don't have good management, or good decision making capabilities either. I think Reddit's on a rather fast descent to it's nadir.

  • Planning on building a PC, anything I should know?
  • To echo everyone else, make sure to use PCpartpicker. It's actually a fairly simple thing to do, I was surprised by how few problems I had my first time. Watch lots of youtube first, like how do I install the processor into the motherboard, how do I wire everything up. Definitely watch a few assemblies before attempting your own. If you do your homework, it's like a 2 beer activity honestly. I started about 4pm and was eating supper with the family while Windows updated.

  • Will we see mass adoption of Apple Vision?
  • VR hasn't caught on as much as I thought it would. Using VR/Augmented reality is a hard thing to do for a long period of time. I get really motion sick from my PSVR after about 20 minutes. I know the tech has come a long way since then, but there's some pretty significant hurdles to overcome between here and mass adoption. That's even ignoring the buy in factor, which is a non-starter north of say $1k (maybe $1,500 if it's more like an actual standalone computer).

  • Reddit experimenting with blocking mobile browsers
  • I think social media is a dead stick. I can't put in words what's next, but it's both scarier and more amazing. Whatever it is. But we are basically in 2006/2007 all over again, where everything we are used to is being snatched away from us.
