Eh, I don't think I should use my phone more while in bed...

I said in my final paragraph that Lemmy is nice but there is so little content here. The communities I frequent here (with very active reddit counterparts) have like a submission every few days. Just check [email protected] for example.

 

I am trying to cut out Reddit from my life but I'm always ending up re-installing it because I simply don't know what do with my time. We have two small kids (1y and 3y) so I can't simply just read more, train more, play games, watch TV, etc.

It's rather.. Reddit filled those small micro breaks I get throughout the day. When I have a few minutes on my own when my wife has the kids.

Lemmy is nice but it's just not enough content to fill this need. I have been thinking about Blinkist or reading something lighter on my phone (something which is easy to take a break from whenever).

I'm on Pixel 7 Pro and after this winter (dry hands) I'm leaning towards iPhone. I'm so sick of failing the fingerprint scanner 3-4 times before having to resort to the pin code.

FaceID worked so well on the Pixel 4 XL - why isn't any Android manufacturer picking it up??

My first gig as a software developer offered Fedora23 I think it was if you wanted Linux. Would be interesting to see how much has changed but I don't really have a machine to just throw fedora on

I was close to it. I'm an advocate for paying for services I use. We're way too used to getting everything for free and we should be willing to pay for services we appreciate.

Which made me realise that Facebook especially I don't appreciate. So I quit instead. It had value to me once but those times are long gone.

 

Svenska miljonärer är rikare än någonsin. Det visar lyxtidningen Connoisseurs undersökning av sina läsare, där en tredjedel av miljonärerna har över 20 miljoner i värdepapper och hela 7 procent av miljonärerna besitter över 100 miljoner kronor. Att jämföra med fjolåret då samma kategori utgjorde 3 procent.

  • Det är helt unikt. Vi har aldrig sett något liknande, det finns väldigt mycket pengar i landet, säger Susanne Ytterskog. Hon är chef på Connoisseur som hon även grundade 1998. En tidning som delas ut tre gånger per år och skickas ut till de vars årliga inkomst landar på 2,6 miljoner kronor eller mer, det vill säga en bra bit över medianinkomsten för svenskar som ligger på 371 500 kronor per år enligt Statistiska centralbyrån.

Feels like something that can be very frustrating unless they get it perfectly right

Who cares, we're leaving an economy where no one cared about profitability. Just growth. It's all about whether they can capitalize on that growth now.

Spotify was the same. Turned a profit the first quarter after shifting the focus towards profitability.

I've never seen the view of an IPO so heavily affected by bias. Superusers hate Reddit but so what - what matters is whether soccer moms are scrolling and being shown ads. No one cares that the most costly users are unsatisfied. You and me both are nothing to investors.

Is there some objective analysis of this IPO? All I'm seeing is "I'm a superuser who spent a lot of time on Reddit in 2007 and it was far superior back then. The stock will tank."

Ironically, people who have managed to do this would not see your question
