I installed Sync, threw $16 LJ's way for putting in the work to convert it to work with Lemmy, and then uninstalled lol (commenting from Thunder). I plan on continuing to use FOSS clients for Fediverse stuff, but am happy there's a healthy variety of open and closed source clients for everyone to pick and choose from.

If you're using Android, check out xmanager. It's basically a free cracked version of Spotify Premium.

Have you tried Andor yet? It's probably the best series (don't hate me Grogu fans).

wefwef has this feature!

You rockin' Hannah Montana Linux?

If you're on Android, search up xManager. It basically lets you install a Premium version of Spotify while having a free account.

😂 I gotta get the fuck off here and go to bed, I've been upvoting beans for like two hours. Someone else take over!

I like your grandpa.

To add to this, it can even be as simple as reporting bugs you find, whether that be with the Lemmy code itself or a client you're using.

My freshman year of high school, my AP English teacher made sure to point out all the sexual stuff in Shakespeare, much to our chagrin.

I'll literally at Dairy Queen eating ice cream right now, while my gym across the street is looking on disappointed. I should really work out.

I'm posting from my secondary account on lemm.ee , which is a another nice general purpose server that's very responsive performance wise.

Probably heroin..../s

Your memoji game is strong.

lemmy.world is being crushed by a metric fuckton of beans right now.

The best thing to do is sign up on a smaller Lemmy instance such as lemm.ee (that's where I'm posting from). lemmy.world is completely overrun by new users right now, and it's doing its best to keep up, but having a bad time with performance. This results in posts not loading, duplicate comments, and random errors. You'll have a better Lemmy experience heeding my advice, go beans!

Thanks for these updates on the timelines of the investigations, it's hard to keep track.

You could smell her house a block away.

Those are the best, you feel more tired when you wake up.

Agreed, and starred.

I waited months for Google to release a firmware patch to unlock Bluetooth. Eventually, I got tired of 4 mostly bricked (could still use them wired) controllers laying around and tossed 3 of them. I wish I would have kept them all now, Stadia controllers are some of the best, I may have to pick up another one online.

There was an attempt haha

Have you tried out Firefish? It's another micro-blogging site like Mastodon, but the UI looks better in my opinion. You can follow Mastodon users on there and a bunch of other Fediverse content as well. They're still working on an official app, but the PWA works quite nicely.

A mini PC is the way to go if you want to self host a media server such as Jellyfin. You have to do a little research, but you can find mini PCs with Intel chips that have Quick Sync for transcoding for around $100 on Amazon.

Do you have any issues with Spaces rooms not loading on yours or federated homeservers? I tried reinstalling a couple times and could never get them to load in Element, so I ended up just spinning up Synapse which has been working fine.

I went ahead and switched to the SAVE plan. You can actually go through the application process and near the end of it, they'll provide you a list of plan options and how much you'll have to pay, if any. If you would have to start paying, you can quit the application and no changes will be made to your current plan / certification and at least you won't get "sticker shock" down the road and can start planning.

Fuckkkkkkk....

I got a 4 CPU / 24Gb RAM Ubuntu 22.04 ARM VPS running on Oracle's "always free" tier. The Synapse and Postgres containers are using about 2% CPU and 1.2Gb of RAM combined. If your strapped for resources, check them out.

Yeah, I like the Firefish interface a lot more. I was able to follow the handful of people I followed on Mastodon seamlessly. Everything just looks better IMO.

My dumb brain read "brand names" (I guess that still makes sense, since a band's name is their brand) and I was thoroughly confused.
