A game has never made me cry, but movies and shows make me cry all the time. Even the most emotional game just doesn’t come close to other mediums.

ChatGPT is most useful when you may not know the right answer, but you know a wrong answer when you see one. It’s very useful for technical issues. Much quicker for troubleshooting than searching page after page for a solution.

Can we please stop building everything around Discord? It has its place as a chat app, but it’s become like a web parallel to our own, except owned and operated by a single company. It’s an information black hole, completely closed off from the rest of the web, unscrapeable, uncrawlable, unarchiveable, and borderline unsearchable.

Side-issue: the OP was posted from my desktop. It had 3 embedded images in the body, but I can’t see them from Sync. I only see the text.

Is there currently a way to unhide an individual post once I’ve clicked “hide”? I want “keep posts hidden” on, but if I hide a post by accident I want to be able to unhide it.

If you want an instance that almost definitely won’t go under, sdf.org has existed since 1986 1987 and has an instance at lemmy.sdf.org

I paid the ~$3 for a month of pro, so no ads, and it still eats up my battery. I’ll have to stop using it until it’s resolved.
