From comments I’ve read in other threads some lemmy instances show the number of up and down votes respectively.

Yes I use TikTok. I don’t watch short form content on any other platforms. I started on TikTok back in 2019. During the pandemic it was great. In the last year or so it’s become a lot more TikTok Store ads. Which I guess was inevitable for a free platform that doesn’t charge you to sign up or access it. Just like FB or Instagram they make their money off user data and ads. The only other problem I’ve had recently is it seems that they don’t serve up the content of the people I follow as much as they used to.

The TikTok Algorithm is very tailored to what you interact with. So to me it’s always very telling when people spout off what they see when they use TikTok. My For You Page (FYP) is all DIY, woodworking, funny dogs/cats, and married people humor. While my wife’s FYP is dancing, new music/bands, and other funny humor.

I think it’s an amazing advancement and that’s awesome for a quadriplegic person to interact with the world.

The part that I haven’t heard anyone mention is what is the life cycle of these chips. Computers and cell phones all become outdated so quickly. Are recipients guaranteed upgraded chips as they become available?

I was reading an article recently about people who have had implants in their eyes that help them to see become obsolete. One because the company stopped supporting the specific version that was in the patient. The other because the company had gone out of business.

I have the first hammer I bought 20 years ago.

Test a small area of the laptop that you can’t see to make sure the Goo Gone doesn’t haze or discolor the plastic.

Penny Arcade has been around forever so they have a deep backlog of gaming/nerd culture related comics.

If we are together one of us will use the phrase “Is there Lemon in this?” And hold up our drink which is code for get me out if this conversation/situation.

If we aren’t in the same room. We pull out our phone and text Save Me. Then the other person comes and finds you to say that So and So needs them immediately. Yadda, yadda.

I found the option in Connect settings finally. But thanks.

RIP old friend. I loved Joey it was the first and only Reddit app that I used. I’m in Connect for Android hoping that some of the UI customizations come to this app. I would like to put my post titles above the image. Or whatever meta content image is displayed for the post.

I’m really enjoying Lemmy so far though.
