He was plenty famous before the meme.

I came across in the big Reddit migration and while I loved the idea, it felt like every third post was about the meta or Reddit. I ended up dropping all social media. A few months ago I started passively reading Reddit again and as many predicted, the whole vibe is just off. So I began checking back here a bit and it’s a bit closer to what I want now. It feels like there is a bit less going on than back then, and I’m totally okay with that.

Be active and be what you want to see. This is a community driven system and you will get a lot more out of a community by participating over just observing.

It’s not big in an overall area sense but it’s so dense that it can feel massive. Kamurocho from the Yakuza/Like a Dragon games. Seeing it evolve over 20 years in real time and about 35 years in game time has gotten me quite attached too. Each new game I do a loop to check what has changed and see if old friends are still there.

Correct. GTA3 had Liberty City which was spread over 3 islands. It was essentially New York so no real countryside but there was one part that was a bit greener.

I’ve never been in that situation but I wouldn’t rule it out on principle.

If they want reviews on any service that relies on an algorithm it is to improve their rating and therefore visibility. Advertising essentially.

They’ve certainly picked the right time to peak.

There is the classic advice of “listen to understand, don’t listen to respond”. You are a lot more likely to understand what the other party is saying when you’re paying attention and aren’t preoccupied with formulating your own response.

Also, remember why you are having the talk. You aren’t trying to “win”.

Hopefully this leads to a lot more development of and for Ubuntu Touch. Biggest issues it faces are lack of compatibility and lack of apps. I think the core is solid though. I used it for a week when switching from iOS (so no Android background) and enjoyed it, but a few too many minor issues built up and I ended up going to Calyx.
