There was a time when the Google apps just worked, the applications were optimised for UX. Maybe I've just only noticed it now but the directions (and assistant in general) aren't as useful, reliable, and filled with sponsored stuff.
what do you use for navigation and how does it compare?
My first thought was literally "man, what are they going to do when they run out of numbers?!"...
Only started running relatively recently so it's not first thing in the morning but it's a habit. I needed a way to "warm up" for the day and be physically active.
Aside from the general hype of "it feels great" "healthy" yada yada, it gets to a point where you feel uneasy not running. Like after training my legs, they want to go for a run and be used.
You need to account for having time (sleeping early and getting up early with naps during the day) and slowly conditioning but the most important thing is consistency. Only evaluating based on your previous efforts rather than comparing to others.

The creators expect the wooden material will burn up completely when the device re-enters the atmosphere—potentially providing a way to avoid the generation of metal particles when a retired satellite returns to Earth.
These metal particles could have a negative impact on the environment and telecommunications, the developers said as they announced the satellite's completion on Tuesday.
be warned, it'll give you unearned optimism about how responsible you are to revisit the tabs you saved but will never see the light of day again.

For the sake of the meme, I will out myself and say that I've been confusing Napoleon and Neapolitan for all my life. I feel seen.
After the following years, I've quietly taken the whole "this is when we diverged into the darkest timeline" schtick an iota more seriously. It's been a strange 8 years.
then what's stopping people from just going/staying on reddit?
Content isn't an issue, the internet is filled with AI generators and bots. Meaningful content and engaged communities are what we should be encouraging.
Reposts and directly referencing reddit is counter to that imo but I appreciate the intent.
*Should clarify i have no problem with reposts but diaagreed we have a "content problem" but more an activitg issue/opportunity to make a unique fediverse-lemmy internet culture and copy-pasting reddit is not the way to go.
but because Kevin Conroy, I got it anyways.
Corporate greed ruins yet another thing I love.
I admire the late Conroy as much as the next guy but my brother in christ this mindset is exactly what fuels this level of quality by directly justifying it via your purchase.
You can't solely blame these corporation if you continue to behave in ways that to support and incentivises them to utilise these strategies.
Made me have a healthier relationship with social media, my smartphone usage, and overall thinking. I almost exclusively used RiF and curated it enough that I could readily get lost in it for hours in threads and/or following drama.
I knew what I liked about reddit was the mods, the 3rd party apps, and the communities, and the company behind the website was the least appealing ineffectual part of the experience. They were slow in every sense of the word and consistently made out-of-touch decisions.
Lemmy was a great transition point for me. At first I was trying to treat it as a clone. Instead, I found a place (and the fediverse in general) where there wasn't a mass amount of resources spent to keeping me engaged - it's just content of the day, no strings attached.
I found a space that was indifferent to the amount of time I spent on it, passionate communities that were more responsive and literate, and just felt more respected as a person.
Encyclopedia [Medium: Success]: A solar eclipse, an astronomical phenomenon, occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking all or a portion of the Sun's rays from reaching the Earth's surface. This event captivates observers worldwide, blending science with awe-inspiring spectacle.

exactly, not everyone has time to stop everything and watch a random 20 minute video from a thread based on essentially "trust me bro"
especially with a vague and borderline clickbait title. To prove a point, I'm going to watch it at some point and I can almost guarantee i can either summarise it or provide a synopsis.
