So often I've pulled up my phone while it's connected just to try looking up a destination while I'm parked. Being forced to use only the car interface for Maps while plugged in has always been awkward.
Shame that my single USB port that supports Auto is wearing out! Soon I'll be reduced to Bluetooth only, and maybe a mount for the phone to keep the screen in arm's reach without having to look away from the road.
I love that a service that isn't making a buck off of us gets levels of engagement that for-profit social networks would kill for.
This is happening because:
Therefore, I expect engagement will go down over time, but I am hopeful it will reach a higher point of stability because the fediverse design seems better at getting more varied content seen by its users, and it makes it harder for a small group of people or posts to dominate the discussion space.
PS: Anybody know how to add a space after the last bullet in a list?
It is annoying, but at least it makes sense considering the few orders of magnitude growth they've experienced in two days and given that we are not the customer nor the product. Nobody is making money from this. Instead, we are benefiting from the generosity of those who host the service, much like Wikipedia.
As someone who has lived in the plains all his life, the idea of hills being a real thing that actually exists outside of movies seems strange.
Absolutely magical!
I swear there's at least one of these ladies in every restaurant I've attended in recent memory. Now I'm going to be imagining what their salad just told them.
Somewhat, but it's just the "how's the weather?" of this community because most everyone is here from Reddit, so it's a starting point to me. I don't think Lemmy exists just to spite Reddit, and I participate in discussions having nothing to do with the subject.
QED, I think this response completely addresses my concerns. I often miss the social aspect of systems that involve people. I can't think of any further questions.
I reverse native binaries across a few different platforms for a living, but I'm just getting into Android. I will definitely take a look at those systems!
I have a love/hate relationship with desktop web apps on Linux. They are a great blessing in some ways because I get to run apps that just wouldn't be available to me otherwise because Linux typically isn't a priority for consumer-focused services. Often support exists as a convenient bonus because it came with the web app platform choice.
On the other hand, you get a web app, which looks nice (hopefully) but gobbles down your resources.
