That portmanteu is horrific

Gamers are a bit more tech savvy than average people tho

The other option is that anybody who recommends Lemmy, actually just recommends an instance. Make an account on examplelemmyserver.org and download the app XYZ should be the go-to recommendation. Not ”there are so many cool options”.

Well, you never actually addressed the points. But if expecting that is “being a dick”, well, whatever…

Reply point by point:

Also, who’s doing the strawmanning here? I said that “phones are useful devices that people rely on, while [smart glasses] are not”. Then, you went on a tirade how I said that smart glasses are “marginally convenient” instead of “literally useless”.

Did I say that they are literally useless? Or rather, implied that they are something along the lines of “marginally convenient”, thus not being “useful devices that people rely on”?

Also, I did not say anything about equivalence. I said “more akin to”. Which you took as literal equivalence.

Can you read? If yes, read my previous comment.

See my previous comment about strawmanning, mr. “I learned about logical fallacies 5 days ago”

EDIT: So mad you come and check the replies within 5 minutes just to downvote?

If it makes you happy you can think you won the argument

Yeah, sure, you just claimed that I strawmanned their argument… Cmon.

This is the wildest pedantry I’ve witnessed in a while.

It’s really no different

Was the initial claim

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats&months=48 The monthly stats don’t look too bad to me. The yearly stats are meaningless.

I’m not sure if the centralization is worse than the large portion of users on the large servers who joining copies of established communities on their own instances. Also, from my other reply:

It would force you to write a more descriptive name. Maybe we want to hide by community title and not the handle though.

Say you want to have a community for memes. It is terrible UX if you just see seven different “memes@domainname.ending” in the result. So with an opinionated search, you instead name your community Sopuli Memes, Solarpunk Memes, Programming Memes etc., or just Funny Memes Archive, and they would not be hidden.

By that logic, its equal to a phone is an equal strawman. It is a way less vital device than a phone.

IMO, a more opionate search would fix this. Just recommend the most active community and show the others in gray.

It is quite different, phones are useful devices that people rely on, this is not. More akin to breaking some useless annoying gadget like a toy siren or something

I just keep checking if it’s done every 1-2 minutes by tasting it

Mostly standardized? Maybe. What I know is that float summation is not associative, which means that things that are supposed to be equal (x + y + z = y + z + x) are not necessarily that for floats.

Aggressively spreading misinformation on important topics is bad. Not too complicated
