I use it to see the occasional post of family and very old friends from school for example. Or to see what my old band mates are up to who live in the other countries after I left for a new country.

There is no other platform any of those people post.

How do you know they don’t refer to Alpine Linux?

So I’m posting in !korea@lemmy.funami.tech but most of the posts there are by me, I wish more people in Korea would post but it seems we are very few here on the Threadyverse.

Go to https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/wiki/FAQ search for Multilingual typing and follow how to set it up.

If the language doesn’t use the Latin alphabet then it won’t work, like for me with Korean.

You set up which languages you want to have there and then it switches between them when you just start writing automatically.

I use HeliBoard because I have to switch between 5 languages (German, Polish, English, Swedish and Korean) constantly and it does it for the most part (other than the korean) automatically for me.

I didn’t think of clipboard history yet, but I know that Keepass2Android deletes the copied passwords after a while, that’s kind of good enough for me.

I’ve come to understand that being alone isn’t necessarily being lonely

I hope more people can realize that.

Ah back in the day I also joined a group of friends doing board games like once a month and became a regular in that group. That’s really cool and like you say really something to look forward too.

Ah so you’re not doing night shift at work or something so you’re asleep during the day. What’s the reason you’re not awake during the day? Wouldn’t that be a good first step to synchronize the time you’re awake with others?

A couple of years ago I worked from home during summer leave from university and slowly shifted to night work and day sleep. That had the same effect as for you, totally out of sync with everyone so I couldn’t meet with anyone, couldn’t call anyone, etc. I was so happy that summer leave was over and I was forced to sync up with the rest of the country and meet everyone again.

Oh, back in Sweden I also had regular movie nights with two or three friends. What was cool and made it less awkward was that we restricted it to only old classic movies from before 2000. That way we could say we’re very sophisticated movie enthusiasts and we also learned a lot about classic movies which none of us would usually watch ourselves at home. That was great fun.

Just coincidence, mostly because I followed love and first time because I am a late repatriate.

I like their UX, the button doesn’t say “Share screen” but “Make Selection”. On Element my dad every time has such a hard time to share the screen because even though he did it already a hundred times, he presses the share screen button and then waits, without choosing which window or screen to share.

For me it was/is exactly the same. I’ve not been using reddit a lot anyway but once I heard about Lemmy I was very quick to move around the API disaster. I also don’t know anyone from reddit so I didn’t have a desire to convince anyone.

I spread the news around in my other networks and I think 2 people joined lemmy, but they would have joined without me advocating for it anyway probably.

I think it does not make it less funny, everyone believes it because it’s so in character.

The idiot son of an asshole

significant portion of the content in my feeds appears to be AI-generated

On which platforms? For me it seems to be true on the big ones I still kind of use because of some other reasons like Facebook and Instagram, but the niche ones like Lemmy and Mastodon don’t.

One exception of the big ones is YouTube, there seems to still be enough humans creating content so it still out weights the AI generated one.

1. They are to far away to reach us
2. If they have technology which would make it possible for them to travel faster than light, they have such high intelligence that they don’t recognize us as intelligent beings like we don’t recognize viruses as having any intelligence, so they would never think of visiting us and communicating with us.

Just FYI; Twitter and Reddit had API usage available free of charge for more than a decade too.

Honestly I thought it was a fake story because of how they presented themselves while doing in on a very niche fediverse platform like Lemmy where practically only people end up who are very interested in technology, politics, freedom, etc. All topics which require quite a degree of abstract thinking and knowledge.

So even if this IQ number were correct, which I have a hard time to believe because if how eloquent they use language and how analytic they see their life, it probably has no base in reality but was a test fluke.
