RexWrexWrecks@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was something that you thought was overhyped that actually lived up to the hype?12·8 days agoPop sockets.
I saw so many people use them and hated the sight of them. They look weird and make your phone fit awkwardly in your pocket and you can just lean your phone against something heavy if you want to watch a video or whatever.
But I decided to try it and it is single-handedly the thing that allows me to use my Android phone pretty much one-handed. With gesture controls and the ability to shrink the keyboard to one side for one-hand typing, I’m able to use my 6" phone with one hand 90% of the time.

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t understand genres, but I feel like early Soundgarden albums sounded very close to Nirvana’s sound, but later albums became more rock?
RexWrexWrecks@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you never understood the hype for?1·8 days agoNot putting any of this on their feet. Maybe they wanted to be mid but that’s not how history seems to remember them.
Nirvana is still hyped as one of the greatest bands ever. Maybe it was revisionism after Kurt’s death? But whatever it is, I feel like their music doesn’t deserve the hype it gets today.

RexWrexWrecks@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you never understood the hype for?5·10 days agoAs someone who never understood multiple monitors, one day I just got a second one and now I feel working without a second monitor is limiting.
Having said that, I can’t see a use for a third monitor at all (not to say it’s completely useless. I’m sure some people find it useful).

RexWrexWrecks@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you never understood the hype for?133·10 days agoNirvana. The band.
I missed the grunge movement in its peak but I got into Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Just couldn’t get into Nirvana beyond a few songs that I do like. Musically, I feel like both Pearl Jam and Soundgarden dwarf Nirvana.

The Shawshank Redemption
RexWrexWrecks@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you judge people for buying stuff that you're boycotting?5·14 days agoIt’s nice to see there’s still space for nuanced opinions on the internet.
RexWrexWrecks@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why is Lemmy so US-centric? The largest instances are in Europe, aren't they? So why does it have to be US news trolling as if it were Reddit?491·14 days agoBecause the Europeans post in their weirdo languages.
RexWrexWrecks@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube might slow down your videos if you block adsEnglish6·2 months agoFWIW, I’ve been using ublock origin, too, and it’s mostly worked fine.
Until a few days ago, when Youtube started detecting it and showing down the site and telling me I can only watch 3 more videos before it cuts me off. That hasn’t happened yet, but I definitely feel the slowdown. I’m hoping a ublock upgrade will fix it soon.
Russia, India, and China don’t have a “nazi” or “neo-nazi” problem. It looks like the resolution was specifically against that, so stop "whatabout"ing this shit and acknowledge the western countries have fucked up on this vote.
I always buy cheap ones because they keep coming off
