Glad I made the switch back to FireFox a year or two ago. As a Dev, I was entrenched in Chrome and it wasn’t an easy move but with the path Google are currently treading around ad serving, blocking the ad blocks etc. I feel I made the right choice…

They are good times indeed… Good times…

Caught by the Jaffa’s

I have converted over to Linux for a huge portion of my work flow but there is still the 20% I either can’t efficiently replicate or there is just not the software I need.

Where possible I choose to work outside of Microsoft, Google and Apple but to keep a roof over one’s head, I must endure too.

Gerally it’s decent… I don’t use it anywhere near as much as I used Reddit but I’m not sorry to see the back of that place.

It can be a little buggy sometimes, responses dont post or further posts fail to load. I think the lack of consistency is whynim using it less at the moment but overall, happy chappy :)

Good old Google, never, ever fails to fucking disappoint !

That a Welsh username by chance?

And yea, thoroughly depressing… I find the situation similar to the old micro transaction / shit game port situation where the masses couldn’t care less and the small minority rebel and have little to no effect.

Sadly those that care about these things are generally grossly outweighed by those that couldn’t give a toss. I haven’t been back to Reddit for 4-5 weeks now and as a very early Reddit adopter I thought the break would be harder than what it has been. I have mentioned in a few posts here that the most surprisong thing to me is how often I was being served subtle ads guised in the form of content on Reddit. In 4 weeks or more I don’t think I have seen a brand as such mentioned on Lemmy yet with Reddit it was legit every dozen posts. I knew this went on, but it took a week or so on Lemmy for me to realise the actual extent of it…

Good riddance to the place, Lemmy feels like the early doors of the internet and I’m quite comfortable here :)
