  • I don’t think it needs to be hidden or anything, but consider your “before the fold” content, it’s what is most important on a web page and what will grab users in the 2-3 seconds you have to capture their attention before many will click off.

    Currently on your site I have to scroll down quite a bit beyond the fold to get to the actual website on my phone, as the top section is taken up by very large text superfluous to the main content.

    I know it sucks to have to build for that sort of user, but it’s a large chunk of users, and the rest are just putting up with the inconvenience haha :-)



  • There is no point, we don’t exist for a reason, we’re just a thing that happened in the universe by random chance.

    That’s not an inherently bad thing though, heck, the concept of “bad” isn’t even “real”, it’s just an invention we came up with.

    But I digress. We must find out own purpose and meaning in life, it won’t be handed to us. Think of the journey as a fun ride with no rules, there are no gods, the universe doesn’t judge you, you are unique and weird and amazing and can interact with the universe in ways no gigantic star or powerful black hole ever could.




  • I use the Boost app for Lemmy so it basically feels exactly like the ideal Reddit experience felt back then, which is fantastic.

    As for being put off, the only thing that really bothers me is the extreme hatred for Windows and the deepthroating of Linux. It’s creepy.

    Like, I love Linux and use it for many things alongside Windows, but I don’t get obsessively weird about it to the point of creating memes or going out of my way to tell people why they’re wrong for using one over the other, you know?

    If that were toned down I’d certainly feel a little more relaxed, but on the whole the Lemmy experience has been lovely <3



  • …You want their security to be bad enough that they get hacked, so that they’d have to face repercussions for having bad security? What?

    How about they just don’t have bad security and people don’t risk having their private data stolen?

    Nice to know you’d sit there with popcorn watching people who just want to play video games suffer, a small price to pay for you to hurt Sony it seems, who I guess you hate for some reason.




  • Obinice@lemmy.worldtoFediverse@lemmy.worldDoes the Fediverse give you hope?

    I don’t live in that country, but while I like Lemmy, no, I don’t have hope any more. I’ve not had that for a long time now.

    It’s interesting though, to see the US slowly turn into our enemy, and to consider that Germany will be one of our strongest democratic, antifascist allies against the new axis of evil when the time comes.

    Thankfully I’m too old to be forced to fight in the next war against fascism, but I suppose poverty and climate change might kill me before then anyway. There truly is no hope left for me.



  • I think when you’re on a ship being sailed suicidally into a storm, arguing they some passengers shouldn’t jump into life boats to escape just because it will only leave the crazy people onboard and “we’re in this together” isn’t particularly compelling.

    Like, surely that’s the point? That state finds it’s people, their way of life and values to have diverged so far from the government and overall culture of the nation they’re currently teamed up with, so they choose to end their union and become a free nation state again, as is their right.

    The alternative to this peaceful split into two countries that can now run themselves the way they want to, would be one side attempting to impose their way of life on the other, to the point of massive crushing oppression or eventual civil war to see which side will dominate and force the other to convert to their ways.

    Surely when we consider the options, peacefully going their separate ways when they’re no longer compatible with each other’s societies and values seems the best result, no?
