similar thing happened to me. i think it's important to remember it's literally easier to can't do something than choose not to do something.

I knew there'd be growing pains for lemmy, thoroughly enjoying going nostalgia lane, but now I see every delight has a sinister cost

If you want to travel fast, go alone; but if you want to travel far, go together.

It's one of those African proverbs with an unknown origin but their emphasis on community has always been a guiding principle for me.

Usually it appears that way (like I was surprised some posts had 0 likes/favourites), but when I click on the post or go to the original source - it shows a higher number.

I just assumed that instances don't automatically gather likes as readily as boosts.

Design is a cycle between 3D/gradients/sharp edges to 2D/flat colors/rounded corners.

Sorry to break it to you but it's no longer viable to just have 3-4 passwords to memorize or simply add small changes. With the exponential rise in computing power and data breaches, brute-forcing and rainbow tables are increasingly viable.

Just memorize a ridiculously strong password (I recommend a combination of a quote/passphrase and made up words in addition the standard best password practices) and use that for your password manager. Bitwarden and many others have a password generator where you can generate 30+ character passwords

It's a bit of a chicken-egg problem. But I'm leaning towards Google in this case.

Google is an advertising company. They get paid to show certain results higher, while balancing relevant results by the number of visits and matching key phrases. This is essentially what SEO is.

There are reports of people having to create a separate website designed for SEO, filled with buzzwords and useless fluff, just to show up on searches. It's a combination of bots, LLM, SEO, and '00s/'10s tech companies actually needing to make money that leads to screwing over the user and their experience to squeeze more profits.

Design preferences has a tendency to be "cyclical" appearing to be tiresome. That's fine and an encouraged strength of customisablility.

The issue is unified design language across android devices. Material You attempts to solve this to limited success. But it's better than the alternatives I've seen in the past.

The over-padding (especially default widgets) is something I take issue with but it's a preference and can easily be adjusted.
