For me, it will start feeling “right” about 15 minutes after I start studying or working. You need a while to get into it, to get warmed up.

One of the main reasons I like using Mastodon for work is the fact that it’s completely separate from the large social networks. It’s only used by people who are committed to creating a new, better place. I don’t think users of Threads (or Xitter, for that matter) would have anything to offer for me.
It allows for more precise content filtering. Say you hate Star Trek but you like the people on the Star Trek instance, you can now solve that in one click
Adding an option “Block all users from this instance” would be a good addition, though.
Yeah, the Runeterra universe is awesome! I played LoR for two years, basically for the lore and the art card. I burnt out on the game, but I still miss those aspects.
The release of Arcane was awesome as well, with all kinds of different media experiences. Looking forward to season two (November 2024 D: ).
My gut says it either has to do with the way shows were filmed, or it’s a leftover from theatrical plays.

Yeah, I noticed that too with that image. It seems like Syncs compresses the image preview and only shows the full resolution if you open it from inside the thread.
I think it’s pretty standard in the EU.
Regarding #3: a way to copy/synchronize subscriptions between accounts.
I use a main account and a backup account on another instance in case the main instance is down, so I want those to have the same subscriptions. Manually synching them would be fine (maybe with options like copy everything, mirror the subscriptions, make sure B does not contain the same as A, etc.).
iIRC it’s just because we’re used to the lower framerate in movies. If you look up some 60 FPS videos on YouTube you’ll notice how much smoother it looks.
Personally, I’d wish sports broadcasts would be in 60 FPS by default. Often the action is so fast that 30 FPS just isn’t enough to capture it all.
Yeah, learning to perform a macro cycle while doing other stuff is really useful. I sometimes play AoE2 with friends, and I’m not very good at it, but if there’s one thing I can do, it’s spamming trash units in the late game.
Yeah, it sounds like a great starting point if you want to work for a local government.
Sorry, didn’t get a notification.
Yeah, it’s basically at high school level, so most of the adult population should be able to understand it without much issue.
In the Netherlands there are plenty of online retailers like Coolblue who are doing well by competing on quality and customer service, despite prices being a bit higher (ironically). Next working day delivery is standard, so that isn’t an issue.
Bol.com is also really successful and much like Amazon, including its problems.
I assume this is because of a first mover advantage; for a long time, Amazon was only available in the UK, Germany and France*, so that created a major disadvantage. I’m guessing this might apply to a lot of smaller European countries.
*maybe other countries too, but at any rate not in the Benelux.
Considering busywork, many online texts are unnecessarily long in order to fit as many ads in between as possible. I’ve encountered texts (even about academic subjects) that are practically unreadable if you don’t skim them, because they’re not meant to be read closely.
Everyone knows what it’s like to look up information on the internet nowadays: most of your time is spent on scrolling or clicking past ads and scanning webpages until you’ve found a source that’s actually useful.
I think a lot of people have been trained to skim online texts because they’re designed explicitly to waste your time.
There’s a difference between simplifying a message and writing at a lower reading comprehension level. I think a lot of accidental incomprehension might just be caused by the reader not being very good at reading English.
In my country (and I think the whole EU), government agencies have to write at a B1 level to make sure official publications and letters are accessible to all citizens. I think that’s a good rule of thumb for online conversations as well. (However, writing pleasant prose at B1 level is a whole different beast. Generally, they’re not very good at it.)
Maybe we should ask spez to come over and help generate engagement :P
You can use lewy.world to make an NSFW account.
The Netherlands please, although I’m more interested in regionalised pricing for the Ultra subscriptions.
