There’s a big difference which is that clients have minimal lock in. Reddit has a monopoly over the community while you can easily switch clients with little lost.

Have you tried using descriptive layer names like layer 1, later 2, later 3?

That means that detection was added explicitly because this prank was done enough that it was worth it to add.

Theoretically yes, but I’m having a very hard time even finding peripherals with male lightning ports when I searched out of curiosity, and the few I saw were the same price as this adapter or cheaper. Every single peripheral I found that has a male lightning port uses it for the purpose of making it sit flush against the phone, otherwise it would have made more sense to simply buy a USB-C accessory and use a C to lightning cable. This adapter removes the streamlined nature of those peripherals.

I’m sure there’s some rare use case where this adapter makes sense, so I don’t literally mean nobody would ever need this in any circumstance, but since the need for it would be so small I think the heightened price makes sense since there would be very little demand.

Why would anyone ever need this?

I don’t remember the last time I needed to look for a driver on Linux

One of my classes had us design our own 8 bit processor and assembly language. It was a lot of fun designing it. It was like a little puzzle to figure out how to get features into those limitations

After experiencing struts everything else looks great in comparison

I think Java’s verbosity has more to do with the culture than the language itself

I’d be fine with ads and even paying if the creators weren’t treated like trash and the number of ads weren’t ridiculously obtrusive.

Since the fediverse is protocol and standards based it has potential. Email is ubiquitous.

There’s an appeal to having limitless content, but it does become addictive. Having a slower pace is a good thing.

I left Reddit shortly after the spez’s AMA before I found Lemmy and for a week I did feel a little out of touch since I didn’t like the feeds on other social networks or sites. Lemmy gives me that feeling of being up to date with the internet without being endless which I think is much healthier.

I would much rather have fewer more engaging conversations than the circus Reddit was. Sure it had more conversation but sometimes that felt more isolating since every comment became transactional noise. Really hoping I can find the sweet spot on Lemmy!
