That happens to me regularly. Plus it will have different read statuses in the channel list, pins, and notifications.

Physical controls were a primary reason I went with a 2023 Mazda 3. I didn’t want a touch screen as the primary input device. The rotary dials for menus and volume have been great. I find the screen is just in a better position too; it doesn’t need to be within reach so it just blends into the dash better and is at an easier angle to see.

Before I updated my car I used the headphone jack regularly for playing music there. Otherwise it was relegated to a couple situations a year like air travel.

Now that I’ve got a newer vehicle I just have all my music on USB there.

I only go for one community surrounding a book series, and only on Mondays when there are weekly discussion threads for new chapters. I found reddit pretty easy to cut out when I just stopped using it on mobile entirely.

Good way to play victim too.

Less engagement is exactly what I would want. Show me my new chronological content and then I’ll get the hell out of there.

Not having a touch screen was a pretty sizeable component of my decision making process when I bought my 3.

This is one of my favorite GDC talks and it’s about this subject with a sizeable segment devoted to the second paragraph in this article comparing Video Games to the availability of classic Movies.

Just to pose these in a similar thread, I have a few questions as a casual observer, some of which I’m unclear if they’re handled at the protocol or Lemmy level.

• As I understand it servers subscribe to other servers and everything is then push based?
• I assume ordering is not a guarantee. So there’s probably no concept of offset tracking on subscriptions or replaying a time range?
• If ordering is not a requirement how do likes/comments handle out of order receipt? Everything seems to have a local ID, so can content get pre-liked before the root message arrives? Unclear if ID generation is based on any identifiers you’d have to work with or not - or whether remote content retains its origin IDs?
• Lemmy at least appears to have some retry mechanism, but I’m unclear the behavior on that - seems annoying with 1000+ subscribing servers.
• I seem to recall reading ActivityPub has some pattern for batching, but reading the spec again I’m not seeing it. Is that a thing?
