He has so many judgment faces its ridiculous. For instance, here's a mild variation of "what the fuck is wrong with you?"
And "you are so full of shit" 'you are so full of shit'.

Bear's got her own set, though they tend to lean more towards "idiot peasant."

Ncis episode Tim traced ThE mOsT dAnGeRoUs HaCkEr iN tHe WoRlD to an internal 192.168.something. I do not remember how it was resolved because I was laughing too hard.
(the whole two person keyboard thi g early in the series was an intentional gag, so it doesn't count)

my usage tanked a lot when he took over, but it's more or less done for good when tweetdeck went premium. I check in on one account now, and occasionally still bitch at customer service accounts. Other than that, Im at mastodon and bluesky.

Current Device: Pixel 7 Pro Previous: Galaxy S4, LGG4, S8, S10e.
Got the Pixel because there was a sale plus a really good trade value on the s10e

It's fine.
Im not a heavy phone user. Im not doing a whole lot of gaming or videos or developing or whatever power users do, and it suits my needs. There are a few things I miss from Samsung, but overall the UI is fine and the battery is normally loads better than anything Ive had in a couple of years.

Pixel 7 Pro and a Samsung Gear S3 watch (that I hope to upgrade to Galaxy 6 Classic)
The only thing I really miss about my samsung phones (s4, s8, s10e) is that the screen was a whole lot brighter (could see just fine at 50% brightness most of the time, whereas my Pixel requires it to be 80 and up) and that while I prefer dark themes, I really don't like the 'white print on black' because the contrast bothers me. Samsung Themes had all kinds of different colors. Also the size was a lot to get used to, but thats common on just about all flagships now

I thought they were introducing something new among all this other bullshit but as soon as I saw it I realized that yeah, thats been around awhile.
As a fellow old.reddit user, none of this does me any good. My adblockers are sufficient, half the time I completely forget I have an avatar, and....i have no idea what the rest of that is. So thanks, but no.

Got a Pixel 7 Pro back in February. Came from a Samsun-g s10e when the google store said they'd give me a whopping $280 for it (compared 25-50 on average). Between that and the $150 off sale, it was a no-brainer.

For the most part yes, the camera is fantastic and the 'now playing' thing is really neat. While I know a lot of power users apparently complain about the battery, Ive had little to no issues with it. Only time Ive come close is when Ive been outside a good chunk of the day and've had it on full bright.

There are two minor downsides. one is the screen brightness. It's so dim compared to my samsung. on the s10e, everything was great at around half brightness, and i rarely had to have it maxed out, even outside. On the Pixel, 3/4 barely cuts it and if im outside anything under max is impossible to see.
I also really miss samsung themes. I generally prefer dark, but not 'completely black with white text' dark. That contrast bothers me, but thats what many things are nowadays, including the default android themes. With my samsung, I could make the system stuff whatever i wanted and it was great. I think i had a dark teal/light grey thing going. I miss that.

My first smart phone was a Galaxy S4, Then an LGG4 (there might have been an s5 or 6 in there but i honestly don't remember). After the second bootloop I got an S8. Then my mother got that one (still uses it) and I got an S10e.

Ive usually kept them for several years until they just become unusable/slow/bad battery. I might look at the P8P when it comes out, though, especially if its actually flat.

I also have a samsung galaxy a tablet that my dad hijacked for his ereader after his ipad died. he now has a new ipad, but still uses the tablet to read on. I have no idea why, libby works the same on both.
Have a Gear S3 watch, will probably upgrade when the Galaxy 6 classic comes out.

have an ipad, but don't use it that much.

so. um. my question is, in mastadon even though you have an account with one instance you can still see/follow/whatever people from different ones (unless the admins made it private) is this the case with lemmy or am i stuck here and would need to go make some other places? thanks
edit: NOW i see the tab switching from 'local' to 'all'. Derp
