I suppose it would depend on what I get out of it.

Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most visually appealing phone you've had so far?2·1 day agoI really liked the palm pre. Fit well in the band and the slide out keyboard was awesome.
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Any interest in a Lemmy community for Apple users who are fed up with Apple?4·3 days agoLinks to tech news complaining about the tech. It’s a sludge.
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which book(s) left a lasting impression on you?4·4 days agoThe Lord of The Rings. This book changed reading for me. I always enjoyed fantastical themes, but this one really got me. Then, I found out there was more. More background, more world building, more why.
I’ve never turned back. I re read it occasionally and I’ve read much of Tolkien’s other works. Next on the list is to begin working through The History of Middle Earth. I will be starting this in the fall. It may take me quite some time to get through.
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think is the biggest issue with Lemmy?8·7 days agoIt’s just as bad of an echo chamber as other sites. I have to actively “stop” browsing lemmy after a bit because I get annoyed at the repetitive nature of everything.
I’ve very much tried in the last few years to limit social media. I think it’s been a benefit for me. I like social media, but having “stops” makes it more enjoyable and prevents the doom feelings.
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which of your favorite sci-fi tech seems achievable in a reasonable timeframe, say 100 years?2·12 days agoFair. Check this out. The existing stuff is pretty cool https://youtu.be/CP3t8qMHcsM
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some slow paced and minimal plot movies?4·12 days agoI think I like these movies because I’m also juvenile and pretentious.
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which of your favorite sci-fi tech seems achievable in a reasonable timeframe, say 100 years?4·13 days agoThe eye tracking stuff exists already. There are medical device companies that build and sell these things.
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Experts warn mobile sports betting could be gateway to gambling crisis for young men in New YorkEnglish2·14 days agoI agree with most of what you’re saying, but I don’t think gambling should be illegal. That’s the tough thing.
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How has standing or standing-sitting vs sitting while working affected your life?4·1 month agoFor me it’s a difference but I’d say it’s minor as for as what I can truly tell. I’m more comfortable now that I can sit or stand when I want. Sometimes I’m restless so being able to stand and easily move while I work feels good.
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the most unhinged cartoons in your expert opinion?5·2 months agoThe high seas.
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What home-cooked meal do you frequently make and still enjoy?3·2 months agoTostadas. Make them with seasoned ground beef/chicken, chopped lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and salsa if I have it on hand (usually I do). Delicious every time. Easy to make and filling. Will also add beans if I have them.
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which TV show do you watch again and again?13·2 months agoThe Office.
I throw it on in the background constantly.
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a book that you will gladly read again?2·3 months agoJust because this is the first post that I see that mentions LoTR, I’ll throw in
The Silmarillion
Children of Hurin
Beren and Luthien (personal favorite)
The Fall of Gondolin (incomplete, but incredible)
These are all Tolkien works and I could read them over and over.
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I've only used Sync for Lemmy. What am I missing out on?1·3 months agoWell I found something I hate about it. I have two lemmyn accounts and I can’t completely separate them in the app. The settings bleed over across accounts and even the recently viewed area shows things from both accounts.
I don’t like that. I wonder if it’s settings or if it’s something the dev is looking into.
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•"I'm socially liberal but fiscally conservative" - What do you think when you hear that?3·3 months agoLook, I think there is something to it, but you really have to give details. I’m good with free access to healthcare, good with people marrying whoever they want (over the age of 18), transgender rights, etc.
All of that. I love it all. But I’d rather not be taxed to hell and have those funds horribly mis managed. I’m okay with taxes but I know there is so much waste with my funds. That’s where I’d like improvement. I suppose in some eyes that would make me slightly fiscally conservative.
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I've only used Sync for Lemmy. What am I missing out on?2·3 months agoI’ve been using summit since my earlier comment. I have to say this is the closest to my experience with sync yet.
I like it. Just need to work out some of the settings, but it appears this will do for me.
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I've only used Sync for Lemmy. What am I missing out on?2·3 months agoI’ll check it out today!
Lizardking13@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I've only used Sync for Lemmy. What am I missing out on?6·3 months agoI’m a current sync user. I have tried both Voyager and jerboa. I don’t like either one. Neither are as smooth and gestures don’t work as well on either one. I’m clinging onto sync until the features I use break.
Only the LoTR books. In the earlier time periods they’re very much a tool of the “good guys” to communicate.
