I've used Sync for Reddit for years, but I'm struggling a bit with Lemmy. I'm trying not to go back to Reddit except for occasional information gathering. Are these 2 things currently present in Sync for Lemmy?: 1) Searching the only currently active community and 2) Creating a new community from within the app. Finally, can someone link me the manual so I don't ask stupid questions?

There is nothing natural about "natural scrolling".

It's the same experience for me, but I still do a lot of Google searches based on Reddit content since there is a lot of information posted there over the years.

Air conditioner... After moving to Europe I'm amazed by how people are so miserable and complaining every day for 1 to 2 months, then just repeat it over and over every year.

When I was still a Linux noob I used to want to do all of the cool customizations and would often end up rendering the operating system unusable. Eventually I just switched to KDE whoch has a lot of customization built in. Some distros make it harder to shoot yourself in the foot, but I think being able to customize and run the latest software out of the box makes a huge difference.

My primary desktop is Windows 11, but literally no other computer I personally own runs Windows. Part of it is games, part of it is proprietary software (music production, dj, etc). I could probably game on Linux full time, but until the commercial software situation is improved I will always have an additional Windows or Mac computer.

No it's very expensive here, but funding is quite different.

I'm almost 40 and on the verge of buying my first house. Most of it has to do with moving to Europe and funding works a bit different here.

What was your socio-economic background?

I can't stand the Gnome design. Material wins by default for me, but I do like it as well.

For me it's just an unhealthy fascination. Tech is the one place where consumerism got it's dirty claws in me. We didn't have a computer in my household until I was 15 and it was a super slow and old PC my older brother bought for $500. This was back in 1999. I eventually became obsessed with finding the best value for money mobile devices and bought way too many phones, laptops and computers.
