  • This is my problem. I want to use Lemmy over Reddit, but there's just not a diverse enough population to find the content I want about niche topics. Bundle that with the same 3-4 "tech company bad", "CEO bad", or "USA bad" topics on the top of my feed every day and it's pushing me away from Lemmy tbh. I signed back into my Reddit account for the first time in months yesterday.

  • I was with you on the software compatibility point, but then you completely lost me with "failed desktop OS"...

  • There is a drop in monthly active Lemmy users (from 65k to 57k)

    Jump

  • I'm getting pretty tired of the obvious "Big tech company bad, Twitter dead, Linux good" bias that Lemmy seems to have. It's definitely decreased my usage over the last week or two. I guess it kind of comes with the territory given Lemmy is a more complicated platform that will naturally attract more tech-oriented users, but it's still getting super old seeing the same flavor posts every single day.

  • All smartphones, including iPhones, must have replaceable batteries by 2027 in the EU

    Jump

  • A portable battery should be considered to be removable by the end-user when it can be removed with the use of commercially available tools and without requiring the use of specialised tools, unless they are provided free of charge, or proprietary tools, thermal energy or solvents to disassemble it. Commercially available tools are considered to be tools available on the market to all end users without the need for them to provide evidence of any proprietary rights and that can be used with no restriction, except health and safety-related restrictions.

    I'm glad they got specific. I wonder where Apple's self-service battery replacement program falls under this? AFAIK it's not free. They charge a fee to rent the specialized tools, which are also proprietary.

    This gives Apple a few choices:

    1. Make the tools commercially available, but at an astronomical price in typical Apple fashion
    2. Make the tools commercially available at a normal consumer price (unlikely)
    3. Make the self-service battery replacement program free (most likely, but will require a significant revision to the tools used since they are industrial-grade)

  • I'm not sure if English is your first language, but that's not the exact wording from the document.

    Emphasis mine:

    To ensure the safety of end-users, this Regulation should provide for a limited derogation for portable batteries from the removability and replaceability requirements set for portable batteries concerning appliances that incorporate portable batteries and that are specifically designed to be used, for the majority of the active service of the appliance, in an environment that is regularly subject to splashing water, water streams or water immersion and that are intended to be washable or rinseable.

    To me this would be things meant to be used in and around water (underwater cameras, water sensors, etc.), not water-resistant devices like smartphones that aren't specifically designed to be used in that kind of environment.

  • Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas are usually at the bottom of the rankings when it comes to the metrics you mentioned, especially education. Other southern states aren't much better.

    Seeing as how modern conservatism has become nothing more than a culture war against the things that improve the general well-being of a population, yes it will continue to be that way.

  • What is an addiction many people don’t realize they have?

    Jump

  • I've always referred to Reddit and other forum type sites as "anti-social media".

    Nobody's here to gain clout. Nobody's here to get more followers. Nobody's here to try and be famous.

    We're here because it's anonymous (if you want it to be), and because it's fundamentally different from mainstream social networking sites.

  • Comments and Posts both seem to be on the rise

    I think this trend will continue for a bit as more mobile apps get created and become more popular.

  • ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Prepared for 100k Concurrent Players, They’ve Gotten 700K

    Jump

  • Not really. Baldur's Gate is a Dungeons and Dragons based isometric game (camera like Diablo) from the late 90s-early 00s. You control multiple characters at a time and issue orders to attack, use magic, use items, etc. It's much more RPG oriented than Skyrim or other fast-paced ARPGs of today.

  • Here's my build. Ignore the empty slots as I only filled in the stuff that I think matters for fury generation.

    • The most important thing I've noticed is that it feels MUCH better when you fill up on fury, push Rend, do 2-3 generators, push Rend, do 2-3 generators... This playstyle combined with the Expectant and Limitless Rage aspects mean you don't really "waste" fury by going over your cap and your Rends do more damage while you keep your fury up.
    • I take the +24% shout duration (Booming Voice passive) combined with Echoing Fury and Bold Chieftan aspects to get massive fury from shouts.
    • I'm wearing 100,000 Steps boots that generate 40 fury when I push Iron Maelstrom.
    • I use the Rapid aspect on a 2H weapon to get +50% attack speed on basic skills. This is HUGE when it comes to generating fury with Lunging Strike a couple times between Rends.
    • I'm wearing Ramaladni's sword and it generates big fury when combined with the fairly high Lucky Hit % on Lunging Strike. It also makes Lunging Strike do big damages when you're close to full fury.
    • Rage of Harrogath chest reduces the cooldown on shouts by a lot, so it's a must since more shouts = more fury per second.
    • Using 2H mace expertise for more fury

  • A shorter than 40 hour work week would be the biggest draw.

    According to a study conducted by Zippia.com (1,000 full-time workers), the average worker is only productive for a little over 4 hours per day, with productivity capping out at 6 hours. This article on studyfinds.org references another 2,000 employee study done by OnePoll (no link given) that says "A new survey finds office workers are at their most productive by 10:22 a.m. each morning — but start to slump by 1:27 p.m."

    Letting employees who commute to the office every day work 30 hours per week instead of 40 would be a HUGE draw for a lot of people. Less traffic on the commute, less "fluff" time where you're not doing anything, time to take care of personal errands during the week while businesses are still open, and I'm sure other benefits.

  • The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.

    Jump

  • That's kinda what happens when you say "we're gonna protest for 2 whole days then go back to normal" lol. All Reddit execs and admins had to do was sit on their hands for 2 days and not say anything.

    It's hilarious that whoever came up with the 2 day blackout thing thought that would make any bit of difference.
