  • Yup, I still visit Reddit daily because of the small subreddits for games I’m playing, which are barely active on Lemmy.

    I mostly stay away from everything else on Reddit, but then again I already usually did that even before the recent API changes and removal of third party apps.

    You could say I can try to contribute more to those communities here on Lemmy, but even on Reddit I never posted much and would just comment on random stuff once in a while. So it’s hard to go from that to actively posting and commenting here on Lemmy…






  • Integration with Google Assistant smart speakers is the main reason I would want to use Google Tasks instead of other Todo solutions. In particular, asking Google to add groceries to my shopping list while I’m cooking, so that I don’t need to bring out my phone and tap it in manually since my hands are occupied or dirty.

    But the integration has sucked for so long that I had pretty much given it up. Maybe if it really actually works now (instead of putting my tasks into various other Google services), I will give Google Tasks another shot.






  • Man, that reminds me of an art installation that I saw many years ago, where an artist set up a bunch of home electronics in a completely dark room so that their LED lights looked like star constellations.

    It was kinda beautiful and yet a reminder about all the “light pollution” we get from these devices, basically what you are talking about.

    I tried to look up the name of the artist and that art installation, but couldn’t find it.
