Damn, it’s going the way of Facebook. I never saw anything I wasn’t subscribed to in my home feed when I was still on Reddit.

Looks like I abandoned Reddit at just the right time.

If nothing else, Lemmy moderation doesn’t have the corporate input that Reddit has, and currently Lemmy moderators seem to be more likely to perma-ban a real person for being a bot than to let malicious bots exist. Plus it’s pretty hard to get banned for “ban-evasion” on Lemmy unless you’re an obvious troll.

Is this in your logged-in feed that used to only show posts from subs you’re subscribed to?

Gif is just an image format. It supports still images, too, and many if not most other image formats also support animations.

But it is true that with most displays, images are never truly still.

Yep. It’s ultimately a human thing, people make mistakes and most are unwilling to admit it. For more choice examples, check out [email protected].

One of the bigger issues is that Lemmy’s lead dev and main admin of lemmy.ml has rather controversial political opinions and frequently uses his admin powers to enforce them. I think him being the lead dev is the only reason why there aren’t a lot more Lemmy servers who defederate lemmy.ml.

I did use to be a Reddit user. Now I’m a bot on Lemmy, according to the admins of ttrpg.network.

Unorganized bookmarks tend to be a lot less useful compared to open tabs once you do actually go back to them. I already organized my tabs when I opened them.

Extensions like Tree Style Tabs that display tabs as a vertical list are really good for that, especially if they also let you group the tabs in collapsible sublists. Some browsers have vertical tab bars, but it’s considerably less useful if you can’t collapse part of the list.

Firefox plugin that’ll allow me to type parts of the tabs domain or title and it’ll filter the results.

Is that different from searching all open tabs by typing % [keyword] into the address bar?

For research purposes it’s usually not necessary to keep every tab loaded, though. Extensions like Auto Tab Discard make open tabs about as resource-intensive as bookmarks, for a lot less extra work and much cheaper than new RAM.

You can search specifically for open tabs in Firefox and probably most other browsers (enter % [keyword] in Firefox’ address bar). If you tend to have related tabs near it, it’s less work than opening all those tabs back up through bookmarks or history.

Keeping them open keeps them more visible than if you only rely on bookmarks or browser history. Personally I use a browser extension for vertical tabs (Tree Style Tab) that allows you to make subgroups, which does a great job organizing the tabs - I could replicate something similar with bookmarks, but that would be additional work.

I also use an extension that automaticaly unloads tabs after a while (you can toggle it off on a per-tab basis, of course), which helps a lot with keeping down resource use.

The monogamous girlfriends are (apparently) also on different apps.

Big fan of controllers that get all their power from cables. Fuck Batteries! Though I can see how that’s quite inconvenient when you’re playing on a couch instead of in front of a desk like me.

USA during WW2: concentration camp. Only for the Japanese, though, Germans were A-OK!

These days, pretty much everything that might count as “getting bribed with scraps” is getting disposed of or the payout is static while prices increase.

Pretty much, yes. It also used to be lighter in resource use than GNOME, though IDK if that’s still true. XFCE and LXQt are definitely lighter than both Gnome and Plasma, they are a lot more stable in the sense that they don’t change that much from release to release, and they play nice with third party window managers (e.g. tiling WMs).

Does it? OCR is still pretty bad, it’s definitely going to be more annoying than plaintext. It might be worth it, but that doesn’t really make it that much less of a pain in the ass to deal with. You might need to use symbols that aren’t alphanumeric (along the lines of QR codes) to make the conversion to plaintext more reliable. I don’t think we have something like that right now.

What if you start sending encrypted letters and don’t write your name on it anywhere? Though that would definitely be annoying for the recipient.
