It's B all day. Close the polls because it ain't even close.

They absolutely did. So much more room for air/sound to flow through those speakers in CRTs. That's why most people resort to sound bars at a minimum to get halfway decent sound for today's flat panel televisions. You just can't fit powerful speakers into them.

I've tried them all, and as of right now Connect feels the most polished and feature rich. So that's my recommendation.

Another hot tip: don't refer to people as "normies."

Nostalgia is really interesting in that it's inherently bittersweet. It's nice because it grounds us in a shared timeline and focuses on mostly positive aspects of some past point in time, but it's also sad because it means thinking back fondly on a time that will never be again.

So maybe it's the bitter half of that bittersweet feeling that you're subconsciously averse to? Either that or maybe your past/childhood was mostly negative or even traumatic? I'm no psychologist, so really I don't know what I'm talking about.

An empire that we lived in and got to experience when it was thriving. That's why dead malls in particular have a distinctly bittersweet feeling to them. Those of us who frequented malls in the 80's and 90's can vividly remember when they were filled with people, commerce, and social activity. They were such lively social spaces back then, so seeing them slowly succumb to the ravages of time and fade into irrelevancy is both sad and fascinating.

Nah. It's morbidly interesting IMO.

 

Do you like paying hundreds of dollars for a huge controller that you only use for a small handful of gaming genres? You do? Then this is the community for you!

Arcade Sticks/Fightsticks Community (Lemmy.World)

!arcadesticks@lemmy.world

After subscribing, feel free to drop a pic of your arcade stick(s), custom artwork, mods, etc. Customization is half the fun with arcade sticks, so show them off.

Yep. Still have my black one with AmberElec installed. I love everything about it other than the display's somewhat muted colors and mediocre battery life.

We're so fucking cool, aren't we?

Lol. I read this in an entirely different context, like you were implying that they'd go to hell for this.

This is exactly what I was going to say. The feed on Threads is absolutely abysmal. Just an endless stream of bullshit that I don't want to see. That might improve in the future as they continue to update the app and its feed algorithms, but as of right now it's pretty terrible at showing the user content that they're interested in.

 

Another Lemmy newbie question here.

I have subscribed to a small handful of Communities that live outside of Lemmy.world, and that worked easily enough. But I notice that when accessing them here rather than on their own servers they aren't quite in sync. Posts are in a different order or delayed when viewing them from Lemmy.world through my subscriptions, thumbnail images don't load, and the subscriber count in the sidebar is often much lower here than when viewing the Community on its host instance.

Is this intended behavior, a known issue with Lemmy, or something on my end?

 

This is my first day in the Fediverse, and I'm building out my sub list in Lemmy right now. I noticed that searching for Communities only looks within the instance that I'm logged into. Is there any easy way to search across all available Lemmy servers for Communities?
