I'd say, just go in to any nursing home, and say you want to adopt s grandma. They propably assing you multiple ones; unfortunately in msny cseses there are loads of elderly people who don't get visited by anyone, so they are very happy to have "volunteer visitors".

I would so much like to love peertube, but I have yet to find any instance that hosts the trash reevant to my interests. Mostly they either are filled with reuploads from YouTube, or are full of radicalized conspiracy theories (which I encounter very rarely on any other form of fediverse).

And then there is the "dumploads", which makes the instances seem like they only have one active contributor, as they dump like 60 videos right after another, resulting the frontpages to have just one note content. This, however, could be gixed by otion to group conecutive uploads as "[latest video] and [n] other videos from [user]", which would help to find more diverse content, as well as discourage dumping.

Then again, that is only my opinion, and if PeerTube is fine for others, who am I to complain. It just doesn't seem to be for me :/

Well, it might be some weird russian naming convention. I've understood that people have hard time reading Tolstoi and Dostojevsky and kind, because a single character in those books have up to seven names, because it's part of russian culture. And apparently those nsmes are completely logical to every other character in the stories.

Then again, I'm not sophisticated enough to have read anything from them, but that's what I've gathered from how other people speak about those books.

Dark souls, but instead of estus flasks, you watch ads.

Now the question is: Will this have the lifespan closer to Stadia, or Google+

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Well, if you avoid the games with ads, it reflects poorly on profits, and maybe someone might mention to the shareholders that the reason people won't play their game is the invasive ads.

The reason why they still have their poopy launcher is that people adapted them, because tolerating the launcher was the requirement for them to (legally) play their games. Putting games behind a launcher did not teduce the profits enough to not continue doing so.

So yes, the way to combat this is to avoid their games thst implement ads.

There is also "Owncast", but it seems to suffer from the same issue that peertube does; there is no integrated revenue system for the streamer, so there is little reason to put effort in to the quality, as well as it being fairly unknown, so even if you set up donos etc. the audience isn't there.

The discoverability don't help, since there isn't really s good way to filter out all the "24/7 radio" -streams, so even if you actively follow the frontpage, or a category, you have to skim trough them manually. Also, there is no proper language filter (at least if you don't have an account), and it seems it's more popular with non-english speaking streamers.

Considering that the term "computer engineering" was created by a woman, programming is based on maths solved by a woman, and the push for graphics in adventure games was started by a woman, I don't think PC Gamers list is worth even checking, as I know that many notable leaps in gaming I don't know about have since been pushed by women.

 

Yeah, I understand that everything can't be loaded at the sam time, but this is not the solution. The reason to browse by chronological order, from oldest to newest, is so that I don't miss posts. But on everey single microblogging app, decentralized or ran by a lunatic wit too much money, there is the barrier between the last few new posts, and where you last left reading.

The eorst part: this loads the newest first, and prefers to push you to the top, requiring you to search where you actually left off.

How about we just have a button to "go to the newest" that throws you to whatever has been published within the 5 minutes, and assume if you're browsing from bottom to top, you want more to be shown, but properly chronologically.

 

So, past few days, the instance I have my account in, seems to crash and burn every morning, when I would like to browse it. I wouldn't otherwise mind waiting fir the few minutes it takes to the issue being fixed, but Jerbia decides it's a great idea to PURGE EVERYTHING if there is any sort of hitch in the login.

Now, I do notice I get a some sort of javascript error every time this happens, and I suppose it's a null reference error, but I also imagine the issue is not isolated to a situation where the instance itself is down, but can probably be replicated by a local network outage. And an easy solytion is to add a variable that tells the app that the logins used has been valit, with an option to change the password, rather than just lose everything. Zure, it might be cool if there was a tiny check to see if the instance exist, when loging in with a saved credentials, and notify about not being able to reach it, but the most important feature would be to have a "newly invalid login" to still exists within the app.

[EDIT]: To clarify: even if the logins on the app would still be there after the instance comes back up and the app has been restarted, the issue still presists, because there is no excuse for displaying the credentials as forgotten, and defaulting to anonymous, where you could simply display an error that implies the logins are still ther, but not reachable. Tint the username red, and add [login error] at the namespace. Or better yet, add a tiny ⚠️ icon in front of the handle, that will provide information aboit the error.

I am not looking how to solve this for myself, I am reporting a bug/oversight that will affect peoples retention rate with not just Jerboa, but with Lemmy as a whole. Now, I know Jerboa isn't the only client out there, but I'd rather see it get better than try and find an alternative, but if the welcome for suggesting an improvement is "it's not really a problem to me, so I don't even care if it's a good suggestion, you should just get over it too", I'm rather tempted to jump ship if an alternative pops up.

While some people might consider this "just a quality of life thing, L2B, noob", I'd say this is one of the things why open source centric apps rarely take off properly: the UX sucks because it's dismissed as "unimportant, because I coded it, and I know how to use it and whst it does under the hood".
