I understand that. You, and you alone have these numerous, numerous (non existent) issues
I don’t think that’s an accurate framing. I have had slow and fast machines on several oses and they all ran it fine. You might have been cursed by a witch or something? Shit’s not remotely normal
Yeah I’ve used Firefox on several platforms and never had these issues. Sounds like a you thing
As long as they don’t link them to those links, thereby confusing them to the point of being completely turned off to the idea
Have you met… Anyone?
Most tracking parameters actually just specify the source the link came from. Like Twitter or an email. I don’t see a lot of tracking parameters that literally are tried to an individual account. But here you seem to be saying that’s the most common type of tracking param
Twitter has always been garbage but now it’s way worse than ever before
TIL lemmy mods are “sensitive”.
‘computers were invented in America’ is rather a stretch.
Which is why no one said that. I read most of the article and I’m still not sure what you were annoyed about. I didn’t see anything US-centric, or even anglocentric really.
Where were computers invented in your mind? You could define computer multiple ways but some of the early things we called computers were indeed invented in the US, at MIT in at least one case.
Bad faith argument
Thank you for doing all of this including writing this post. The haters are binary thinkers who can’t be bothered with pesky things like “context” and “reality”
I’m surprised there even exist 600 communities…
It just feels more solid. I like connect but it has rough edges that I don’t see in boost
Swiping gestures are generally annoying imo. I also find them a lot more prone to accidents
Boost is definitely a little better than connect. It also just has a feeling of being a little more solid and I can’t even say specifically why. That’s worth considering for me
Yeah, this is all fair. I’ve just heard that online dating is bad so many times and so often that it’s become expected. I feel like it typically comes from people who either have never used it, or have only dated that way. Both groups have a less informed opinion than someone who went on a few mortifying “traditional” dates, and then started dating online.
I’m not trying to say I’m an expert but I do think people my age are in a unique position. We saw the world before and after the Internet, and since this change occurred in our youth we had enough awareness to process both versions of the world. If we put some laws into place that protected consumers on a basic level, I sure would drastically prefer the post Internet world. As it stands, some days I don’t feel like the Internet is such a great thing, but most days I do think it’s a better world, on balance.
How I saw this as a different version of the same old stuff is that this comment said essentially “well it used to be good when I used it, but now it’s awful and destructive” which it might be in ways but it’s absolutely a net positive from what I have seen
As someone who online dated for years, up until 2021, I’m very aware of the down sides.
Another version of “online dating is awful!”
Haven’t heard this one before. The world is better with online dating than it was without it
Yeah, I actually think that person is lying honestly
