It was my primary way of accessing Reddit for over 5 years I guess. I'm on android, so I don't think boost is out for lemmy yet for me.

No, definitely not all the time. But if I'm playing age of empires or something, it'd be cool if a friend wants to join me spontaneously. It'd be less cool if they saw me playing super duper furry hentai game #4

The fact that I never really noticed this for over 10 years of being a decently regular steam user speaks to how generally well put together the UI is, maybe not despite this, but because of this

How can I pirate Adobe Lightroom, if it's impossible for me to own it by paying for it?

Honestly, I would pay some decent mulah for a standalone current version of Adobe Lightroom that doesn't try to suck me up into the cloud. It's silly event pirators and cracker teams can put a pretty fully featured yearly version, and Adobe does not.

That's just, like, your Spider-Man

What appears to be the problem chap?

I have never heard of ETA meaning edit to add. I'm guessing FW means forward, I'm not sure if I've actually seen fwiw, and I think people just like IANAL because it has the word anal in it.

I agree with you on the til and eli5. I've seen these terms seeping out of Reddit as well.

One thing that made me honestly irrationally angry or somewhat disgusted is people saying happy cake day, and flopping their stupid emoji in there. My Reddit account was like 13 years old, and I never felt like I was missing anything there.

Honestly, it's like Kleenex versus tissue paper. Maybe one is more on brand, but everyone knows exactly what you mean either way.

My intuition tells me that a direct message is a message directly to my username inbox, and a private message is basically the same thing but maybe encrypted or something.

The biggest issue for me is honestly the no life power mods, as you say. The stereotype of the pale, insulin insensitive, multiple mental health issue, living in their mom's basement, mountain dew enjoyer is there for a reason.

These people are basically the result of kids who grew up on 4chan /r9k/ and decided that they were going to have a job one day.

Power over Ethernet adapters have some serious limitations. MoCa adaptors which use existing coaxial connections, even if you have cable internet, can provide greater speed and better latency than Poe. To be honest though, copper ethernet or fiber ethernet or generally the best way to go.

Drill through the walls or be lazy and run a cable over the roof
