I’m referring to Reddit: niche subreddits didn’t get a lot of traffic, and prolific posters wouldn’t see money for their efforts.

I have nothing but respect for the users who are posting stuff into otherwise dead communities for months on end. Sadly, I don’t have that kind of dedication.

The subreddits that I’m part of are too small for monetization. There are prolific posters (like our pugjesus), but nobody is making money from it.

I also care that there is very little content. I’ve tried getting conversations going on niche topics. My posts get upvotes, but no responses. It’s discouraging.

Is this new? Aren’t most tracks already available in torrents?

DigiPaws looks great! Thanks for the link!

This is huge. With a couple of kids, a spouse, and everyday responsibilities, it’s easy to get stressed and be a dick.

I find it takes conscious effort to switch away from whatever is under my skin to deal appropriately with the folks I love.

What about Sexmas instead?

Aren’t memes generally fair use (depending on your jurisdiction)?

That’s fun! I didn’t know if I’d play a lot, but it’s nice and smooth on my P8P.

“most” is a bit strong. Many open source projects never get users or any kind of traction, they’re just a passion project for the author. The lucky few fill a need and take off. Review the package usage count on npm or the GitHub stars for projects - there’s a tiny fraction that make it big.

I didn’t know that was a standard until I started working in UIs. It’s great when you know, but it’s a clear sign that the standard isn’t clear enough when everyday users don’t realize.

Insufferable on Lemmy?

Everything you said is spot on.

I had kids older. I don’t agree with OPs advice for not having kids in your twenties. I’d argue a planned pregnancy in your twenties is the way to go.

No love for acid rain?

We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

lol

I generally listen and compare it to what I do.

If it’s useless, I silently feel smug and superior. If there’s something good, then I try to take it onboard.

Go for it!

I do something similar a couple days a week. It looks just as good as a similar cut I’d get from a barber.

Sorry - I don’t think I worded that well. I’d try dates with folks who I didn’t feel chemistry. When I say chemistry, I mean social - not sexual. There are a handful of people that I click with socially, and then the vast majority that I don’t.

I ended up marrying one of the few people I do click with socially.

I’ve never really considered sexual chemistry before. In my experience, sex is an activity like many others: you need to practice to make it work; when you’re doing it with someone else, there’s a learning curve to get it right for both of you; and sometimes one or both of you don’t get it right, so it kinda sucks.

Asexual is a tag that came around long after I’d left the dating pool. I’m not really familiar with what it means.

Nope. I thought maybe I could find chemistry with people if I got to know them better, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. At least for me.
