• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your opinion about Discord?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  I find myself comparing Discord to Element/Matrix. In terms of features and in some cases usability Discord is light years ahead. However is lack of federation and it's closed source nature make it an unappealing option.

  The way it handles screen sharing and video chat is really nice. I hope that's something that element or even Jitsi could eventually replicate.

  NewPipe does a great job. It uses YouTube's library which includes YouTube music.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android Native Lemmy Client for Android⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemur is a bit more mature at this point. Still excited to see this grow.

  My name is Arthur IRL.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the reason that you joined lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  I think federated networks are the future. Lemmy is a shining example of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think Technology makes us more lonely...?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  I always think of this question is a bit of a scapegoat.

  Technology doesn't dictate our happiness, we just imprint our own feelings of loneliness on to the technology to relieve ourselves of any responsibility.

  When I find myself hesitant to reach out to my loved ones it's not because I have too many choices and how is a contact them it's because I am hesitant to take away time with myself.

  We kill time with video games or social media but before that it was books and other dead tree media. It's not the technology it's ourselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the weirdest thing you are afraid of?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a fear of heights. That itself is not weird but the way it manifests. Step ladders, escalators, parking structures are nightmares for me. Ironically I'm fine flying. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like we're too small to care about. A lot of us use the Fediverse but also use traditional social media so they capture from there (and though their partners).

  I've been donating to Ardour for years. Recorded my terrible songs on it. Worth the cost of donation knowing that others can make terrible songs too.
