  • I mean, there's already apps that are good that were created by reddit app developers. E.g. Boost for Lemmy. The problem isn't the apps, it's the availability of content and people. The /r/orioles on reddit has 85,163 subscribers. 110 people on the page right now. /c/Baltimore_Orioles here has 150 subscribers and no posts in 4 months which was a bot posted game thread with 0 comments on it. The problem is meaningful content and people to interact with, not the UI. There's no reason to join if you want to talk sports because there's no on to talk sports with. I'm not going to sit in game threads by myself and post my thoughts to no one.

  • The tough part for me is that the reason I use Reddit is for bullshitting with people about sports teams I like. Lets look at some of the communities here.

    • Baltimore Orioles -- There's one on lemmy.world with 150 subscribers. The last post is from 4 months ago and it's a game thread posted by a bot with 0 comments. There's also one on fanaticus.social with the last post from 7 months ago.
    • Carolina Panthers -- There's one on fanaticus.social with 3 subscribers.
    • Miami Heat -- There's one on lemmy.world with 10 subscribers.
    • Pittsburgh Penguins -- Again, lemmy.world with 11 subscribers.

    I'd love to get off reddit but until there's actually people to talk with, this place is just never going to meet the needs of sports content that I use Reddit for. I had no interest in Bluesky until some people actually got on it as well. The Shutdown Fullcast for college football brought a bunch of people and fans there so it gave some utility to the site. Without utility, there's no reason to be here.

  • My point is that just going direct for a new car without at least doing some legwork and seriously investigating second hand options is a bad move

    100% agreed there.

  • In that broader sense, IMHO, new cars are generally a bad “investment” versus cars with a year or two because you’re paying a huge premium

    That's where I disagree with you though. There isn't a huge premium vs a car that's a year or two old. If you're financing too, it could be more costly to buy a used car as you'd be paying higher rates on the financing. I agree with the sentiment that buying a used car is better but not one that's just a year or two older. People have long been preaching that buying used is better than buying new and as a result, a lot of prices have crept up to the point that its less beneficial to buy used these days. COVID jacked up prices too and while they've gotten better on used cars, they still haven't fully recovered.

  • buying a brand new car is almost invariably one of the worst investments

    Because it's not an investment. There is nothing wrong with buying a new car if you plan on keeping it. You get the original manufacturer's warranty, no worries about a previous owner having been in an accident or not keeping up with routine maintenance, and often times you can lower your initial cost of ownership via dealer financing that's below market rates because they're willing to take loses there to move vehicles. Just a quick look, 2022 Toyota Corolla SE with 33k miles is selling for roughly ~$23k. A brand new 2025 Corolla SE is selling for ~$26k. If you need to finance it, you're going to get better rates on the new vehicle vs the used. You're getting 3 years worth of improvements and you're getting a full manufacturer's warranty and not just the balance of what's outstanding on a 3 year old vehicle with 33k miles on it.

  • Thanks. I was legitimately confused by Minecraft because I never saw anything negative added to Java edition but I've never played Bedrock. Minecraft keeps pumping out free content updates so they seem like a good example of what to do for a company.

  • The Democratic party refused to understand that courting the right doesn't work, and now it's cost them the election

  • There is no center in the US. If you're okay voting for Donald Trump, you are not in the center. That's entirely the point.

  • Centrism can win in places that aren't America. Too many Republicans are being fed propaganda all day long by Fox "News"...an organization that has argued in court that no one should take them seriously. But that's where they get their news. They're also indoctrinated by their religious upbringing from Evangelicals. There is no such thing as a moderate Republican anymore. They have shown that they will vote every time for the Republican candidate regardless of how flawed they are. Trump is a convicted felon that tried to overthrow the government, has been found in a court to be a rapist, was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein, has had numerous failed businesses and bankruptcies, has denigrated our troops. NONE OF IT MATTERS. Stop trying to appeal to the right and actually get your voting base excited about the policies you want to push.

    Retirement in the USA is a scam

    Jump

  • But every sector has been ravaged by the stock market changes.

    You just don't know what you're talking about. The S&P 500 is up like 25% over the same period. You're just buying into specific sectors. Don't do that. Buy market index funds or target date funds and stop trying to actively manage your retirement account. Also, you haven't lost anything in value because you haven't realized the losses by cashing out. It's better for you currently if things are a lower price because you're buying them at a discount.

  • I could never get along with GNOME. Everything feels too on rails. If you want the workflow that GNOME has, it's fantastic. But if you ever want to go outside of what they have set up, it constantly feels like you're forced back to their style.

  • I used to use it solely for sports news updates. Once Elon bought it, kept constantly getting politics news that I didn't want. Kept adding blocked terms hoping to not see it anymore. Nope. Kept getting pushed right wing bullshit. Deleted and never looked back. It helps that people have actually moved to Bluesky. The biggest issue I have is with Reddit and Lemmy not having the sports communities here. Game threads for Orioles games had 0 comments. I'm not going to just sit there and post to myself.

  • I had tried Plasma 5 in the past and I just don't think I put enough time into figuring out how to customize it. It wasn't as intuitive to set up the desktop layout as Cinnamon was. Wanted to test it out when KDE6 came out and loved it. Switched from Endeavour back to Mint due to some instability on Arch (a couple kernel updates broke bluetooth which my mouse and keyboard are both bluetooth) but wanted to get back with KDE so testing out Tuxedo. It's really nice thus far.
