Nothing. Haven’t logged on since subs went dark.

Personal: Signal mostly, for personal chats I do also have Telegram and WhatsApp. I am starting to use Matrix for community chats as I just discovered it.

Work: Microsoft Teams.

I saw this the other evening and played it. Man, it went from 0-100 real quick. Really wild little game!

1 year of salary extra would be unbelievably life-changing. Like…every single stress in life would be eliminated. Shoot, even $10k extra would be HUGELY beneficial.

Been thinking about starting to drive Door dash or another side gig to supplement income.

I’ll give a search on Duck Duck Go, and if I can’t find what I need then I’ll use Google.

But at this point I’m using Google Bard and ChatGPT more and more, at least at work.

Oh, absolutely! I did a lot of consuming on Reddit, and only participated in a couple specific communities.

Here, I feel far more inclined to actively participate.

Yes! Little Pembroke Welsh Corgi x Chihuahua mix. He’s a cute little bugger!

YouTube Pants™ coming soon to a mobile app near you!

It’s a good point, albeit a highly unfortunate one. No faster way to get me to spend less time in your app than to make it the same as all the others, you know?

I understand the logical concept here but struggle to really get it. As platforms do this homogenization, I lose interest in all of them. I’d far rather have several platforma that do one or two things really, really well instead of a bunch of platforms that do everything, but poorly.

I like your comment about a trend toward mediocrity!

I happen to like the shorts. I only wish your shirts subscriptions were separate from your regular subscriptions. Otherwise I don’t have any issues with it.

However, I do know a lot of people do take issue with it, and that’s okay!

I really don’t get why all these social platforms try so hard to just be copies of each other. I like having diverse and different platforms for different things. Once they all started homogenizing, I really stopped using most social media.

And when LinkedIn added their ripoff of Instagram Stories I was like…aaaaand that’s it for me. Why does a professional site need a stories feature?

I’ve worked the whole time. Just avoided checking r/sysadmin and have been checking !sysadmin@lemmy.ml instead (or however you link/tag a community).

On mobile I’ve habitually reached to tap the Sync Pro icon for Reddit several times, hesitated, and tapped Jerboa for Lemmy or mt kbin icon instead.

Also took our pup to the vet for some of his shots and played with him.

Can confirm I’ve been seeing this as well.

Overall it’s pretty good! With more development on Jerboa and better backend performance and an influx of people, I think it’ll be fantastic. I’m pretty pleased thus far!

Ugh, that kind of makes me want to vomit. What a shame.

This is a great point!

The CEO just tripled down and said they are not changing their intended API pricing regardless of how many subs and users go dark.

Even if they did, I think a lot of redditors have been fed up with some things with Reddit (both the company and the first-party app) for a while.

Of course, there will be people who just don’t care and will continue to go about their redditing as usual, and those who will go back. A fair number of my close friends don’t care at all as they use the first-party app, have no complaints, don’t moderate any subreddits, and don’t follow the Internet news.

I would love to see my primary communities move over to federated social platforms. It reminds me of the Web1.0 and earlier Web2.0 days.

That’s the boat I’m in, so to speak! If you know of any good sysadmin or IT related communities out here, I’d very much so appreciate some recommendations!

I don’t fear for LLMs or AIs taking my job. Just additional tools to learn! Our small team (I’m an IT systems administrator blended with DevOps a little bit) has begun adopting GPT4 and other tools to assist us in being more efficient.
