Cool, I'll give that a watch when I get a chance. Thanks for sharing.

Damn, you're deep into the fediverse. Thanks for sharing.

Haha, unfortunately I'm not much of a Star Trek fan so I can't answer that one.

What platforms are you on? Anything outside of Mastodon and Lemmy?

I agree on the Twitter-style social media thing. I almost never used Twitter in all the years it existed, so I also don't really post on Mastodon much. I used Instagram to share photography with friends/family overseas and so Pixelfed could potentially be of value to me, but I understand not using it if you never used Insta in the first place.

As for Lemmy/Reddit, I think the quality of content heavily depends on what your interests are. There's plenty of good content for certain subjects (e.g. tech stuff) but I find Lemmy is sorely lacking in other areas, and so you tend to lose out on some of the diversity of opinion that made Reddit so good (or at least good to me). That's largely been my issue with Lemmy overall and I think why I don't use it as much as I used to use Reddit — a lot of the stuff just isn't there yet, or if there is a community there might only be like 3 people posting.

There are high-schoolers alive today (maybe even in this thread) who were born after Apple stopped charging for updates. Maybe it's time to get some new jokes.

I think saying they can deal with even one issue is pretty generous.

How is this tricking you? If anything it’s tricking Google, but who gives a fuck about Google. This is a business trying to work within a broken system.

While I often have to use Adobe stuff in my line of work (its unfortunately the industry standard) I made the decision a couple of years back that Adobe software isn't allowed to touch my personal devices. On the Mac, Creative Cloud is essentially malware. I use Affinity to replace photoshop and illustrator, while Apple Photos has been enough for me so far to replace Lightroom.

A lot more movies are like 2.5-3 hours these days. An hour movie is exceedingly rare.

Episode pacing is different to movie pacing. More opportunity for story arcs, payoffs, etc than in one 10 hour movie. It's completely logical that someone should be able to more comfortably sit through and digest 10 episodes versus a 10 hour movie.
