These shit-quality shitposts are like the spaz kid at lunchtime showing you his "meme collection" against your will. I get serious secondhand embarrassment from seeing them. It's sad seeing Lemmy's shitpost community devolve into 9gag/ifunny.
For real. They weren't even funny the first time they came around in 2018. Shitposts used to be quality
I actually just had this problem a couple weeks back. I was using revanced spotify but I had to keep re-patching it because it kept breaking. Eventually, I became so frustrated I said fuck spotify and found ViTune which is a fork of ViMusic (which is now defunct).
It workes exactly how I would want a music app to work. No accounts, no algorithms, just search for the song you want. You might get a playback error if you're using a VPN, but that's literally the only complaint I have about it.
Love Rashomon, it was so good. Definitely make it your next watch. Pioneered ambiguous endings in movies. It gives the audience a reason to keep thinking about it after watching because it allows them the freedom to determine their own canon version of the story.
I love the idea, but wouldn't it be one of those old web indices (like a site or book that was just a list of other sites) with a keyword search function? Like a centralized webring with user submissions?
People don't talk about this enough. It's one thing to be an arrogant prick with self-esteem that's way too high, but the same thing goes for people with self-esteem that's way too low. In either case you're walking on eggshells around them trying to make sure you don't say the wrong thing and send them into a temper tantrum or self-pity spiral. I have a little more sympathy for the latter, but both forms are incredibly toxic imo.
it's just hard for some people to appreciate the good things in life. that's valid considering the state of the world right now, but we still need to celebrate victories where they appear. overt pessimism does no good for anyone
turns out a lot of people didn't pay attention in 6th grade social studies.
is it me or does this guy's eyelids look upside down like one of those optical illusion pictures?
i love that the article keeps reiterating how cutting edge the methodology they used is, but used a thumbnail of some shark models imported into blender. this inadvertently implies that blender is the "cutting-edge" technology lmao
The lack of continuous and backlogged content. For some this is a benefit because it gives them a reason to stop scrolling, but for others who come here to look for answers, find entertainment, or anonymously voice their opinions, this can be something of a downside.
Of course this platform is as anonymous as you make it, but I've seen some people say they refrain from commenting more often because they don't want to be known as a regular, instead wanting to "blend in to the crowd" as one would on more populous sites like Reddit or Twitter.
