He’s here… why does it matter?
I came here because my favorite app, Sync for Reddit, died like the other 3rd party apps. I still use reddit some because the groups I was a part of there don’t really exist here, or not with much volume anyway. Ketorecipes for instance… if I want to see new recipes frequently, I gotta go to reddit, but I wouldn’t if their content was being x-posted. If I post a recipe it’ll be here but in a recipes forum, like many other subject types, you’re more commonly a reader than a content maker. I have no doubt the small community here will grow eventually but for now it’s limited by the low subscriber/contributer count.
Can Lemmy be more/different than reddit? Sure. Can Lemmy be similar to, a replacement for and yet better than reddit? Absolutely.
She trusted me as a friend and really loved the asshole. I knew him a lot longer than she did and really couldn’t stand the guy, and I don’t think he liked me either, but she didn’t know that. I was dating someone else too, but my gf didn’t compare to her.
Funny thing is she’d tell me about their arguments and disputes and 90% of the time, she was in the wrong and I’d tell her that. I couldn’t believe I was defending him but I was honest and she appreciated my sharing a dude’s perspective. He followed her to college, and I don’t think he’d have even went if not for her, and they got married after. Still married now 30+ years later. I can only believe he grew into a much better man than he seemed to be as a kid, and I’m glad I didn’t interfere with their relationship. I eventually found my soul-mate and best friend so wouldn’t change a thing, but I can’t help but wonder how things might have played out in some alternate universe.
I’m a developer with 30 years experience in lots of languages and honestly PowerShell one of my favorite. Of course anything is an improvement over batch file scripting but it’s so much better than bash. An object-oriented command line is amazing - such a huge improvment over having to use text-processing tools to parse output. Built-in support for virtually every text file format, easy access to web and rest services, and now that it’s cross-platform and open-source I’m using it consistently on Linux and Macs. I’ve been using it for almost 15 years and it’s sad how few people outside of the Windows eco-system are familiar with it, and even more resistant just because it’s from MS.
Lol… no worries. I have no doubt I’m with the woman I was made for. 14 years of marriage and we’ve never even had a harsh word between us and we love each other’s company. It’s a rare match and both of us, having been in bad marriages the first time around, know just how fortunate we are to have found each other. As I said, I wouldn’t go back in time and change a thing.
Besides, my wife and I both know there’s no such thing as coffee that’s too strong. It’d be a fight every morning! 🙂
