I mean, that’s fair and i mostly agree, but i think it’ll stay around (for the better or worse) as regular vr headsets have, with them also being (somewhat less) expensive and not that useful beyond a handful of niches. Although to a lesser extent since it’ll be stuck inside apple’s ecosystem.

Oh shit, so that’s what it was…

Amen! I’m tired of these skinnies telling us what to do. Smh.

Using Jerboa at the moment! Not sure about moderation tools, but it feels pretty responsive and the overall layout looks quite nice in the dark theme.

Although it gets a tad confused when I’m logged in in occasion, so it sometimes thinks I’m not?

Still, you can use it without logging in, so it’s a pretty good experience that just needs some polishing.

you like boobs? smh

gonna downvote you, darn boob-lover

(If i’m not wrong, green-ish user here) When you click on “Communities” that’d be only the communities inside the instance that you made your account in.

I generally use this to look for specific communities: https://browse.feddit.de/ It should look across all lemmy instances to find the one you wanted

That does sounds nice, but on the other hand… i do like free stuff, instead of paying for subscriptions…

That does work to lower the strain in your eyes (coming a person that has had one in their phone for years now) but as far as i know, that is mostly meant to lower the amount of blue light coming from your display, as to not affect your sleep cycle

That’s fair, i’ve had used a few apps for long periods of time with light mode and it is pretty nice, although i’m biased towards dark mode. Maybe it also has to do with the enviroment around you? Since a dark theme while outside in a sunny day would surely put some strain in your eyes?

(Not to be that guy, the post just got me curious about it, so i looked up some more details) (Also, i rant a bit, so feel free to not read this)

Although in the article i checked, the American Academy of Opthalmology (AAO) doesn’t specifically mention Dark Mode as something that reduces or increases eye strain, it does mention that lowering the brightness (or setting dark mode in your devices) does lower the amount of blue light that the screen displays, allowing you to sleep better, by not confusing your brain into thinking that it’s still daytime. (Feel free to correct me on this, other places i saw about this mostly cite anecdotes about how well it worked for them, regarding their sleep cycle.)

It does later say that one of the ways to possibly reduce eye strain when using a screen for a long time is by lowering the glare and brightness, by dimming the screen or the like.

So my take would be that maybe a full pitch black/AMOLED theme could start putting more strain into your eyes, the regular dark grey-ish should be right, but eyes differ from person to person so it’d boil down to: Find a middle ground that works for you and doesn’t make your eyes hurt? (Also take some time to let your eyes rest, lookup the 20-20-20 rule in the 2nd article)

(Sorry about the wall of text, i might’ve gotten a bit too into this)

We’ve been living a lie…

Welp… time to move everything from authy to bitwarden looks like

Oh, didn’t know bitwarden also managed 2FA, could’ve saved the space from using authy. Is that a (somewhat) new feature or is it just me being blind and missing it?

Thanks a lot for the update and for the awesome instance! Signing up here was one of the better decisions I’ve made in a while.

Here’s to many more weekly updates!

Not as hard as the pedo man would, I’d imagine

By the time it’s in a playable state we’d probably be getting a PC port lol

Something I forgot to mention was that about a week ago, when I checked on a Lemmy instance (I believe it was lemmy, not sure which one though) I found out that I was blacklisted by some kind of service that protects websites from spam, bots, etc.

After a quick trip to their main website and putting my IP in, I learned that it was apparently flagged as not secure as it had a history of spamming and maybe something else that I’m forgetting.

So yeah, I’d think they just got mention of my IP being shady from somewhere and just blocked it, as it had worked flawlessly before this.

Both valid choices, I’m even using syncthing already, but I don’t think all the messing around and setting up a whole new system is worth it atm being honest, moreso since I can just botch this and use a VPN so it works.

For now I’ll put a pin on it, so I’ll work on this on the future.

Tried a bit over a week ago already with no response, might try again tomorrow and see if I get lucky.

As far as I saw, this issue is pretty common, being mentioned a lot, but when it’s brought up, devs ignore it

Even found posts several years old having the exact same problems as me
