100%. I use a third party app called Nintype which actually lets you two-thumb swipe type - to my knowledge the only one that has this as a feature. It’s so so much faster than single thumb swiping and peck typing once you get used to it. Sadly it’s been abandoned by the dev, so I’ll be gutted when whatever iOS version decides Nintype is too old and no longer supported

<whispers> it’s in the walls

That’s what it seemed like! Thanks!

Thank you for mentioning Libraries! As a librarian, I’m always getting shocked faces when I tell patrons what is accessible with their library card

I used to pirate a lot of stuff, when I couldn’t afford it. Now I only pirate things that I a) already paid for (and want a more convenient way of using it or to ensure it can’t be taken away) b) can’t obtain any other way, or c) don’t know if I will like it, so I use the pirated version as a demo of sorts

That’s what’s nice about getting older though, you stop giving a shit lol

Some memes you can hear

I’ve been naturally gravitating towards lemmy the last few days, it’s really refreshing. I’ve not had to check myself as I’m reaching to open Apollo at all recently

Yeah I joined in… 2013? When AMAs were already a thing, and like you said became a place for the same jokes and downvotes for innocuous comments. That’s why I lurked for several years before commenting at all - and even then I got made fun of (and downvotes) for not getting a ‘magnets, how do they even work?’ meme

There were a few niche subreddits that I visited a lot and had actual good discussions / got to know people, but yeah it was otherwise just another place to consume content when bored

This makes loads more sense than anything else. Everything they’ve said has always been a little too on the nose trying to be ‘’ ‘‘woke’’ ‘’ (is double quoting a thing? Hopefully my meaning comes across as intended)

Yeah I find myself missing reddit when I’m bored too, I don’t miss the ‘community’ at all. I much prefer here for that

Honestly this will probably be a good exercise for me to reduce my screen time, try to be more present, and try to be content with just being

Ooo nice nice, though I’ve heard the microtransactions are awful (gotta love Blizzard, eh?)

Patient gaming is the best - the bugs have (mostly) been fixed, DLC is available, and when you get stuck on something chances are there’s info online about it
