This really is a good answer.

Sometimes I think headlines try to find any excuse to put the word “trump” in. Ya know for various reasons…

I somewhat agree. The world isn’t black and white. And as a society we are very much still untwined with our primitive groupthink.

The world is very complex.

I think there’s value in providing 10x even apart from photography. I think 10x would also open up for capabilities beyond just simple everyday photography.

That said if the aperture suffers, then that’s a good enough reason to avoid it for now.

If it’s got a good single player then what does it matter?

There are plenty of good games out there that fewer people have played.

I’ve gotten around it by just getting more into reading. It’s also healthier and more enjoyable.

That said I sometimes visit Reddit to see more obscure topics or to get first hand research. That said the user interface is so horrible I usually don’t stick around anymore. I just can’t get over how horrible the interface is and it’s a genuine reason for why I can’t use the site as much anymore.

That makes sense. But sounds like the lemmy or fediverse standard itself needs some enhancements. For your email example, usually when you send an email and it doesn’t exist you get an error back usually saying the email doesn’t exist or was not delivered or something. Which is different than “please check your internet” or something.

I just feel things of this nature could be handled better. Though I’m not sure exactly where in the stack the enhancement lies.

Not to mention this has far reaching effects past Reddit. Such as for lemmy instances.

 

Love the native swift app as well as the Apollo-like look and feel. However, I still feel that a lot of these lemmy apps (including this one), still seem modeled on a monolithic backend. Which isn't the case with the fediverse.

For example, if a kbin or lemmy.world instance is down then I get a singular networking error ("Error sending request, please check your internet"; or something like that). If there was a way to show an instance as offline and gracefully communicate that to the user, that would improve the experience quite a bit!

And its also difficult to check which community I should check more often then others. For example, I'm subscribed to at least two games communities. But one has 51 people online with 1200 posts and the other has 250 online with 460 posts. Checking whose online is probably not the best way to gauge community health, but Memmy does that and its better then nothing. "Nothing" being the word for what it is right now.

So it would be nice to move the UI away from a monolithic reddit like client and more into a fediverse multi-serviced backend. Starting with these two issues I've noticed.

I can’t speak for everyone but when I was younger (and a lot less confident) I got a job at the DoD and couldn’t get it because I couldn’t get through the polygraph. Background check (talked to everyone I have ever engaged with) was fine but I was way too unconfident / insecure to pass the polygraph. They say the polygraph is a lie detector test. It isn’t. It’s a nervousness detector test. And you lie if you're nervous.

For ts clearance it also needs to be renewed every few years. Which means going through the motions again:

Some skids may make it through. But it would be surprising if there is a ufo cult running the DoD in the leadership. Which is why this should be investigated.

The DoD top secret clearance requires a polygraph and an extensive background check. They really don’t let just anyone join.

Because we rely on them for our military and infrastructure. And yes the DoD is known to mentally screen people before hiring them.

Yeah but he said that under oath and will go to prison if he’s found to be lying. This is a bit different from schoolyard hearsay.

I like how Rubio put it. Either we have crazy people in the DoD or we don’t and something else is going on. Either way it should be investigated.
