I remember the first time I encountered the Ogg Vorbis (.ogg) media type which ultimately lead me to downloading VLC as it was the only player that could handle it at the time

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?
0·3 years agoRunning.
Was supposed to be the cheapest way to get exercise. You can do it right from your front door, no gym subscriptions, no specialized equipment (some people will tell you you don’t even need shoes), and it’s far and away the best time-value exercise I’ve ever found. You can get away with like 20 minutes 3-4 times a week and be doing great.
Well, turns out I love running and I love distance running so I’m now putting up enough miles to need new shoes 2-3 times a year, a nice Garmin smart watch and heart rate monitor to track my progress, sign-ups for several long-distance races each year, shorts, socks, you get the picture.
Could I do it cheaper? Yeah. But at the end of the day it’s a hobby and I like it

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is Lemmy THE reddit alternative for you? Are you thinking about moving somewhere else?English
0·3 years agoI don’t know where else to go.
The best thing about reddit for me was an endless stream of information and news propped up by user discussion. I rarely just scrolled endlessly through posts; I loved delving into comments on posts which didn’t even interest me at face value to see what I could learn from niche communities.
It was, hands down, the best, most information dense landscape I’ve ever seen and frankly I feel a little lost without it. I hope that some day, some where I can find something similar.

Technology@lemmy.world•You Can't Look at Porn on Any Reddit Third-Party App NowEnglish
0·3 years agoNot just porn! Since reddit only has one such tag you can apply to posts, many subreddits were using the NSFW tag for a wider variety of reasons such as spoilers, content which may contain unsettling material (aka “triggers”), and more!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?
0·3 years agoI saw a post about a community created here called “pixel passport” which I thought was a hell of a lot better that “earth porn.”

But who taught her to load the dish washer?
