What nostalgic thing do you think should stay in the past?
  • Honestly I really miss being able to record live TV with a VCR. I still watch tv with an antenna, mainly for football games, and it would be really nice if there was a way I could record them. Whenever I've looked into making my own DVR it just seems too expensive and confusing.

  • Email is still great for DMs if you only use it for talking to individuals, and not to sign up to things
  • That's a good point. I guess if I'm in the situation where I have a lot to say; I'd rather just talk on the phone with someone. Now that I think of it, I feel like the telephone replaced physical letters before email even came along. But, I do highly respect the long-form communication of letters and email. It's just kind of rare these days.

  • Not logged into lemmy.world when entering from google

    When I open Firefox and go to lemmy.world, I am logged in. But if I click a lemmy.world link from Google, I am not logged in on that page. This is annoying because logging in from that page then requires 2-factor authentication. In general this makes upvoting or commenting on posts needlessly cumbersome.

    (Note that I am clicking on a lemmy.world link, not another instance like lemmy.ml -- although, it would be really cool if it could somehow route me to lemmy.world's instance of that lemmy community -- I'm not sure if a workaround for that exists).

  • I don't remember the last time I actually emailed someone I knew as a form of communication. I forward newsletters to my wife sometimes. The culture of texting, where you can take your time to respond (within a day or two), has kind of made email obsolete.

  • Exclusive: Sony is in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring'
  • I hope this doesn't happen. From Soft games are too prominent on Xbox and Switch; I would feel bad for those fans. I don't mind them having a second party relationship every now and then like Demons Souls and Bloodborne, but to outright own them seems unnecessary.
