Its been ages for me, so I may be incorrect now. I think the chat is not persistent and I am pretty sure there is no channels. Its most definitely not set up how discord is where its more of a chat client that has voice rather than a voice client that has chat.

man I wish mumble had a better interface and a chat function, it could real FOSS competition with Discord, but the lack of a chat feature is holding it back

I’m still new but enjoying dbzer0. I heard of it because someone said that lemmy.world blocks its pirate community, so of course I had to sign up there immediately.

Welp, it worked we got em. The nation is now safe from this Midwestern mom who smoked pot once. Good job everyone

God forbid you offer to PAY for access to works that people create like everyone else has to. University students have to pay out the nose for their books that they “train” on, why can’t billion dollar AI companies?

Think of your instance you signed up as as your email provider. Using that email you can send messages to anyone else who has an email. You do not have to pick a specific email provider to use email, gmail, hotmail etc they can all talk to each other. Lemmy works in a similar way except it not limited to DMs, the instance you sign up for allows you to talk to people across all Lemmy instances and see posts from other instances. When you go to “All” on Lemmy you are seeing all posts across all instances. When you go to Local, you are only seeing your home instance.

Happened to my mom IRL too, way back before I was born, in like 1970 her sister gave her a set of three elephants that she displayed on a shelf by the front door. People coming over thought she liked elephants so people started gifting her elephants. By the time I was born she had a full fledged elephant collection, multiple shelves worth. I even added to it when I was a kid because I thought the same thing until she told me one day that she doesn’t really have any type of interest in elephants, it was a collection that other people made for her.

My friend, you are in luck. I happen to have not one but two Motorola droids with slide out keyboards. The keyboard is a full plastic sheet that has raised buttons for the keys, so no dirt can get under the keys, but as you can see here although dirt can accumulate on the keyboard itself, this doesn’t effect the sliding. https://streamable.com/9g509h

You can get the same feeling with a Xbox controller and a phone mount for the controller. its not quite as cool looking but for $10 is the same experience. I have this one that I got like 2 years ago, it works great. Good money saver if you already have a controller that supports bluetooth. They have them for PS controllers too.

honestly, I’m all for buttons on phones too, I miss my sideout keyboard.

It’s not the people living in the city that are the free ones. It’s the owners

Been checking and commenting on Lemmy everyday since I made my account. Its my new first opened app of the day now

80% chance is going to be a crypto scam. 20% chance it’s going to be a right wing cespool

Rose not listening to users is what killed he platform before, I seriously doubt he has gotten over that ego.

Nevermind the group who took credit, he’s trying to drum up excuses to shut off Starlink in Ukraine.

it’s likely an extremely low percentage of users

its not, its actually a pretty high percentage, the conversion rate of pop up email form to static forms in the footer or header are like night and day. Static email sign up forms are lucky to see a 1% conversion. The average pop up conversion rate for emails pop up with incentive (like a discount code) in 2024 was 7%.

If people stopped filling out the pop up forms they would go away, but people still continue to bite so they live on.

I work in web dev and it kills me every time to set up this stupid UX.

Honestly, this biggest problem is these damn pop ups actually work for conversions. If people would stop filling the pop up forms on the sites they would fade to obscurity but for every annoyed dev who closes the pop up asking for an email, there is 10 normies who give up their email or create an account or complete a purchase.

Static email sign up forms in the header or footer of a site are lucky to see a 1% conversion. The average pop up conversion rate in 2024 was 11%.. The highest preforming pop ups in this analysis had a 43% conversion rate, that is INSANE for web conversions. And those stupid gamification spin the wheel pop ups that I personally hate the most, have a 13% conversion.

Adults. I expect this number to skyrocket as gen A becomes adults. Considering they are the kids carrying bullet proof backpacks and doing active shooter drills in school.

Good thing we fired all those park rangers making minimum wage so we can pay for this

Still, Graugnard said he does not regret voting for Trump.

All I need to know

If you think the current batch of democrats will do this even if they have control of congress, be ready for disappointment. The dem establishment is too busy trying to preserve the status quo to actually stand up for the right of the people.
