I'm not super familiar with Bacon reader nowadays, but Sync has a list view and a compact view that cram quite a few posts onto the screen. Hopefully its comparable.

Reddit never produced any content. The users did.

Users move. Content moves.

Which is exactly why I don't understand why a certain flagship academic sub is sticking with reddit. You'd think they'd want to own their own work.

I mostly prefer to play FPS on the PC, but the Switch having gyro controls on a number of FPSes is the next best thing. Sticks alone feels tedious and/or like auto-aim BS most of the time, but stick gyro does a decent job of replicating the feel of aiming with a mouse in a different form factor. IMO, Sticks+gyro is the future. It's just a shame people dismiss it without trying because of experiences back on the Wii.

It's weird they are touting their sign up process.

I tried to sign up on Beehaw multiple times on multiple days and could never complete the process despite manually typing out answers to their inane questions several times. Some of the times it would just time out. When it would go through, I'd never get a response on my account.

So I ended up on lemmy.world.

And let's be honest, it's not like ChatGPT couldn't generate responses to those questions. In a certain sense, maybe them self-quarentining is a good thing for this and other reasons. I guess that's also part of the point of federation vs a single entity in control of everything.

For me it's been pretty great. Lemmy and the fediverse kinda remind me of reddit circa 2007 or 2008 before the eternal September. I'm going to enjoy this for as long as it lasts.

I may be missing something, but the article completely loses the thread when it starts grousing over "why won't the 3Ps pay up? " Because even if they pay, NSFW content is still not available for users. Reddit is attempting to force third party devs to charge for an inferior product, which is obviously untenable for all parties.

It's a crime that more deves don't implement gyro aiming. It feels natural and, if necessary, can really level the playing field with m/kb

PCs as hybrid consoles really appeals to me. I love the switch form factor but I hate the walled garden. More competition in the space is a good thing for us. I almost can't wait for the switch 2 so I can upgrade to a PC-based hybrid console.
