Came from Reddit after the API pricing fiasco. IT systems administrator, lover of card, board, dice, tabletop, and video games, anime and manga, mechanical keyboards, and organizational development.

A password manager is an absolute must, in my opinion! I use Bitwarden and love it.

On a <5 minute video?

DP has embedded, can be carried over USB-C, allowing for everything to be handled over a single cable, is handled on connector instead of device-internal interface allowing for smaller/thinner devices, DP daisy-chaining, licensing/royalty differences, etc.

I'm here giving it a try since I was using Sync Premium for Reddit for a long time before leaving Reddit. I was initially using the Voyager (WefWef) PWA and liked it a lot but definitely giving this a solid shot since I liked the Reddit one a ton. If I end up sticking around in the Fediverse and in Sync I might drop the $20 USD to remove adds and support the devs.

• git
• vim
• openssh
• openssl
• fail2ban
• curl
• byobu
• webmin (to give limited access to non-Linux help desk technicians)

Nothing. Haven't logged on since subs went dark.

I am super excited to have a Sync client for Lemmy. In the meantime the PWA WefWef is pretty dang good.

If you haven't already, check out this PWA that is extremely Apollo-like!

I ran into it out in the wild at one of the grocers and was like.....heyyyyyy that's where that comes from!

ABSOLUTELY THIS. Same. I have to deal with Oracle and their Opera PMS platform which uses Weblogic, 19c, and a variety of other products and it makes me actively want to scream and light things on fire. If I can help it, you won't catch me using another Oracle product if I can avoid it.

Oh, absolutely! I did a lot of consuming on Reddit, and only participated in a couple specific communities.

Here, I feel far more inclined to actively participate.

Oh, man. Getting that kind of stuff in writing is soooo good. * chef's kiss *

I love the iPhone hardware. Especially the mini.

But I really don't like iOS. Or the lightning connector.

Same thing with Macs.

Overall I think Apple makes gorgeous hardware but the software just isn't for me.

I always tell people the best phone (or best one iPhone vs Android) is whatever is best for them.

My wife loves her iPhone and everything about it, and that's okay!

YouTube Premium, Hulu, Spotify. I pay for these family plans. My wife and I use two seats, and our closest friends are on them as well. In turn, we get their Prime Video, Audible, Netflix, Crunchyroll, Funimation, etc. We all just split the cost.

I've used Pihole and Adguard. Liked them both, but ultimately went back to Pihole.

Personal: Signal mostly, for personal chats I do also have Telegram and WhatsApp. I am starting to use Matrix for community chats as I just discovered it.

Work: Microsoft Teams.

Tailscale all the way.

Yeah it's definitely a chore to get anyone to use anything other than iMessage. A few friends and I use Signal even though they have iMessage and loved it. But everyone else is hooked to iMessage. Convenience is King in terms of adoption, unfortunately.

I wish. Both at home and in the office, we rely on too many Windows-dependent applications that do not work on Linux.

I run Ubuntu as my main OS since I can kinda do what I want with my laptop at work and obviously control my personal laptop as well, but everything production-wise at work is Windows on the client side, and I still have a Windows PC for gaming for games that require anti cheat that isn't supported on Linux.

I vastly prefer Linux but Windows is a far lower friction/barrier to entry for most.

You've reached lemmy.one!

I'll give a search on Duck Duck Go, and if I can't find what I need then I'll use Google.

But at this point I'm using Google Bard and ChatGPT more and more, at least at work.

I saw this the other evening and played it. Man, it went from 0-100 real quick. Really wild little game!

Haha that would be most the people on our team's response for sure.

Most welcome!

but i kinda want a native app tho. but oh well, most “native” apps these days are just PWAs in an electron powered trench coat so id maybe it wont be as bad as im imagining rn

I also want a native app, and have had a similar experience with many PWAs, however this one feels pretty dang good. So at least there's that!

Anecdotally, I have to say iPhone seems to have terrible battery life. My wife and several friends all have had the last few iPhones and they seem to be charging their phones all the time. At least every night but often during the day as well. My Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ was amazing. Like 1.5 days of battery. Then I got my Google Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro and it blew my mind. I go 2+ days on a charge no problem.

I suppose to be fair I use my phone more like I did my BlackBerry back in the day, whereas they all use TikTok and stuff fairly frequently.

Thanks for sharing! I'm very tempted to give Bookstack a go.

Why? Because I was on Proton personally for a long time but got frustrated with the lack of features and also my wife and I rely heavily on shared groupware stuff like calendars and reminders, so we switched back to Google Mail. Once Proton is a bit more feature-rich, we'll take a look at it again.

I've had some intermittent issue switch this behavior and have just chalked it up to the influx of users and constrained Infrastructure.

The CEO just tripled down and said they are not changing their intended API pricing regardless of how many subs and users go dark.

Even if they did, I think a lot of redditors have been fed up with some things with Reddit (both the company and the first-party app) for a while.

Of course, there will be people who just don't care and will continue to go about their redditing as usual, and those who will go back. A fair number of my close friends don't care at all as they use the first-party app, have no complaints, don't moderate any subreddits, and don't follow the Internet news.

I would love to see my primary communities move over to federated social platforms. It reminds me of the Web1.0 and earlier Web2.0 days.

That's the same response I always get. But once I show them how much easier it is, it's so much easier. I can't believe there was a time I didn't use one.

You are most welcome! Yeah it's pretty much a rip of Apollo. I'm hoping the Apollo dev might look into a Lemmy app down the road, kind of the like Sync Pro developers are, but in any case, this PWA has been pretty good to me thus far!

1 year of salary extra would be unbelievably life-changing. Like.....every single stress in life would be eliminated. Shoot, even $10k extra would be HUGELY beneficial.

Been thinking about starting to drive Door dash or another side gig to supplement income.
