We never referred to them as bell bottoms but by their brand name; Jncos. And they were rather popular for a subsect of teenage/young adult culture in the late 90s/early 2000s.

Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

It really is clutch. I’ve taken to propping a pillow on my lap and using the kick stand to support it upright while playing. It’s really handy.

I ended up buying the Killswitch case from Dbrand. It’s sturdy, the lip of the case rises up to cover the screen edges and it has a hard face cover while traveling. I normally leave it with its kickstand on various locations to charge for when I need it. It was an added weight but I don’t notice it anymore, and I enjoy the textured feel of the case.

Sync.

There’s no year listed. Just a month and a day.

I was always a fan of: ᒣᒥப߹/ΔП

Having used both, Sync is better. Liftoff felt light years behind Sync. I will also note as a purely anecdotal, I saw more duplicates on Liftoff than I do now on Sync… I still see a lot of duplicates but not nearly as much as before… Grabbed, I was using Liftoff when the Reddit migration was occurring so that could be the reason I dare more duplication with it.

Whelp, color me embarrassed. Don’t mind me as I go to edit my comment.

reading through the comment and nodding along peacefully… Then we get to the pizza comment…

I mean, Avenue Q said it best.

I find I’m involved in a combination of doom scrolling and reading through my digital books. They’re not academic in nature but they bring me joy… I also leverage my device for googling the answer to any one of the thousand questions my offspring will ask daily.

I don’t know if the Internet has made folks dumber per se. What we may be experiencing is the visibility of semi anonymous unfiltered thought. I’ve had conversations with individuals online who have made claims that are egregiously incorrect and will defend those claims to the death but when discussed in person, they are amenable to discourse and can change their opinions.

I’m not saying this is true for all cases but I think the is a lot more going on here in our digital age.

Edit: removed an embarrassing typo.

Well played…

I’m just going to steal the response I read years ago.

“I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man. I use it to look at pictures of cats and get into arguments with strangers.”

That fixed my issue. Thank you very much!

I’ve been using Liftoff on Android. It’s way better than mobile browsing but no where near the same level as Sync. Biggest pain points are searching and subscribing to new instances as well as an insane amount of cache builds up and never clears on its own.

Currently I can’t load my subscribed instances but I think that’s a temporary bug…

I am eagerly and patiently awaiting Sync for Lemmy release.

A few months ago I was having issues using Remote Play over WiFi to my Steam Deck.

These are the steps I took to troubleshoot the issue and overall I ended up with a much superior Steam Link experience as well.

My Steam Link is hard wired but my computer is wireless. I recommend trying to adjust some of the settings I listed in my Steam post.

Best of luck, and I’ll happily answer any questions that I didn’t address in my original post.
