  • The loss of Reddit third party apps and the reasons they were giving for them doing it felt like it was going to be a slippery slope of shit. The Reddit app was also shit at the time and still is.

    With Lemmy, I can just go looking for another app if there’s something I don’t like and even if I don’t switch between them, they also seem to be way more configurable too.





  • Yeah that’s mostly what i use it for. A way to search for things that i can’t describe well enough for a traditional search engine so I can find out at a glance what it’s name is and if it’s valid for my situation. If it is then I go look up documentation. Any time I’ve stayed in the LLM past that I eventually go down a rabbit hole of wrong ideas that aren’t always obvious until you get a bit too deep and you’ve wasted an hour with an incorrect solution.





  • They said “humane appointment systems”.

    I see that as being a system where you don’t have to try and ring up as fast as you can in hopes that there’s still time for you to be seen that day etc.

    One of my previous GP surgeries sold only take appointments between 8 and 9am bit appointments for the day would be filled up usually within 15 minutes. And they would never book appointments for other days.

    My current one is much better now and wish other GP surgeries did appointments the same way. Because I know the prior experience is the common one in this country sadly.










  • It wasn’t the majority of us because I don’t even think we barely made it over the majority of people registered to vote, to actually vote.

    Same goes for brexit, (number out of my arse but) I think about 30+% didn’t vote either way, yet they treat it like the majority of the country overall wanted it.

    Plus the current government were only voted in to stop a worse one from continuing, and they seem to be going back on the principals both what they campaigned for as well as what the party has been historically known for.
