  • I'm happy to see someone else pushing back against the inevitability line I see so much around this tech. It's still incredibly new and there's no guarantee it will continue to improve. Could it? Sure, but I think it's equally likely it could start to degrade instead due to ai inbreeding or power consumption becoming too big of an issue with larger adoption. No one actually knows the future and it's hardly inevitable.

  • It warms my heart to see all the Adobe hate and people switching to other things more and more. And I say that as a professional designer who has to pay my adobe tax every year to stay employed. Every person I see switch increases the chance I'll get to kick them to the curb someday myself.

    Is there no way to delete dms, or am I just missing it?

    What can I expect migrating my gmail setup to proton mail?

    I've seen a lot of people on Lemmy singing the praises of proton mail and I've been considering making the switch. I was hoping those of you who use it might be able to give me a sense of the difficulty (or ease) of migrating my current setup to it.

    Please keep things simple if you can. I'm not a very tech savvy person and don't understand a lot of the lingo and shorthand about this stuff.

    Right now I have a single gmail inbox where I am forwarding several different accounts to it, some from gmail, others from different hosts. I really like this centralized setup, and I have it configured so I can also reply from any of these forwarded email addresses as well (it also automatically replies from whichever email the sender sent to).

    Would any of this be hard or impossible to replicate in proton mail? My goal would be to slowly move away from gmail, but it will be a slow transition and I would need my current email addresses to forward to the new inbox as I do so.

    Thanks for any insig

    French mayo in the states?

    I was recently on a vacation in Marseille, and I was really taken by the mayo there. This was often served with frites. Does anyone know a brand I could get in the west coast US that would be similar?

    The main difference I noticed was a slight tang to it? Not sure how to describe it better. Hopefully someone has had it. 😅

    Instance appreciation post

    I originally chose this instance because it seemed to be aimed at people who don't really want to join a specific community. All I can say is I barely ever think about this instance and I mean that as a huge compliment. You guys run a tight ship with almost no hiccups or issues so far. Thanks for keeping the lights on.

    Looking for new search engine

    I've been using duckduckgo for years now with no issues, but today I opened it and realized there were no longer any search results before scrolling. It was all ads/info cards. So I guess I'm looking for a replacement. Any suggestions?

    Related: anyone know if there's a way in the Adnauseum Firefox extension to hide ads on a specific trusted site? I like their goal of not punishing ads following the do not track standard, but DDG has crossed a threshold and I now want to blacklist them specifically.

    (opinion) Lowland Shore has the best events since Grothmar

    I'm so impressed with the regular events in Lowland Shore so far. I think they're the best in the game excepting maybe Grothmar. Just like that zone they managed to make almost all of them have some little gameplay twist or gimmick that makes them more interesting than bog standard versions we've seen a hundred times before.

    I'm honestly having so much fun exploring this map and just taking it in as it comes. Such a great feeling after years of repetitive meta events that all boil down to the same zerg rush gameplay.

    Janthir actually makes me want to log in and get lost in the world in a way I haven't felt for a while.

    What android keyboard app do you use and why?

    I use Gboard.

    The main things I like about it are:

    • Very customizable (I like having number row always visible, and having long press for symbols on each letter).
    • Has gif support built in.

    My biggest pain point is:

    • It auto corrects words that are spelled correctly to other words. I type "our" and it changes to "out", I recently typed "purpose" and it changed it to "purple". Autocorrect is awesome and necessary, but I hate that it corrects words to other words and not just typos. I wish I could find a keyboard that has the things I like without this annoyance.

    Is this just a news community now?

    I made a comment to this effect the other day. Scrolling through this community, out of about the 10 most recent posts, I see one that is borderline oniony and the rest are just straight up news, mostly US politics-related.

    Is this OK? Is this what this community is for? I ask because I want to see can't-believe-it's-real headlines, but if this is going to be another doom scroll bad news sub I'm going to leave and look elsewhere. Just curious to hear people's feelings on this before I do.

    Content creators who highlight small indie games?

    What are some of your favorite content creators that highlight small indie games? Can be big or small, I'm just looking to find some lesser known games for a change.

    Edit: I'm checking all of these out, thanks everyone!

    Is CCleaner still people's preferred computer cleaning app?

    Has something new come along? It's been so long since I've needed to do this that I assume CCleaner has enshittified by now.

    (Spoilers for new patch) feeling disconnected from my character

    I haven't been following the general reactions to the new patch, but fair warning going into this that I personally was pretty disappointed in it from a story standpoint.

    I was very pleased with Soto overall, and I think they seriously improved on many of the issues I've had with the writing over the years, but I can't help but feel that somehow it has regressed in the newest patch.

    The crux of my issue is that I want to distrust peitha and keep her at arms length, but it really feels like the story is making it crystal clear that I'm not allowed to feel that way. The speed at which not just my character, but even the astral ward, an organization dedicated to stopping her kind for thousands of years, is happy to not only help her, but to frequently espouse how much they trust her completely. I don't think I've ever felt less connected to my character.

    I was hoping for the story to keep her in a suspicious and interesting place, where we're helping her for now but no one is sure what

    Search isn't global?

    I've been trying to get the app setup today, and I'm struggling to find communities through search. It seems like the search is only checking communities on my instance, not everywhere? Not sure if I'm missing something but I can't find a way to search the broader fediverse.
