Onboarding is a nightmare

Advice is always “first make a series of crucial yet obtuse choices based on vibes” and then immediately pivots to “get good”

New platforms, launchers, apps, etc are hailed as perfect alts one day and decried as abandoned buggy corpo trash 3 days later


I switched from you-know-who to Tidal and while I appreciate the sound quality the UI kinda sticks. How are you finding Qobuz?



It’s shit. It’s really really shit. I’m so sorry.

I was by my mother’s side as she passed. No one tells you about the noises and sounds, how the way they hold their face changes, how their breath becomes a wheeze, and becomes a really quite unusually loud gasp, so loud and uncomfortable that you’re amazed it doesn’t wake them, and then shallows further and further until it stops. No one tells you how quickly we lose our heat. There are so many tiny yet striking new experiences that you somehow have to fold into your broader lifelong experience of them as a person, as your mother, that it takes time to process. Their death is such a tiny fragment of who they were, time can help contextualise that

Until then, it’s shit.

UK folk, Silent Night have a model that you put underneath your bottom bedsheet. I have one in the bed and one on the sofa with a blanket on top and they have been going strong for years if you’re looking for one that will last


That’s fair, hyperbolic word choice on my part due to frustration

Onboarding is a nightmare. Any other changes we make are pointless until we address onboarding.

I barely managed to work out How To Do Lemmy.

I’m perfectly comfortably accepting that I’m an idiot, but I really do think that the fedi onboarding issue is still completely unaddressed

I’m not proud, I’ll admit I ignored the meme because I had to immediately image search the hottie. His name is Rodney A. Grant.

For whoever else silently wondered, you’re welcome


love these, especially Siouxsie. I had added a later song and forgot about this one entirely.

this Nym track is an inspired addition, you nailed the vibe









The controls will not click with my head. 6 times I’ve picked up this game and tried for several hours a piece

Yeah but it lets people feel like they've boycotted. Which isn't coddling/faux activism so much as it is starter-activism.
We don't want activism to seem hard... even though we know that effective activism pretty much requires meaningful changes to behaviour which often brings discomfort.
People are really out of practice and our goal is getting people into the habit
