Pretty cool to start seeing Lemmy posts in search results

Agree. It is a stupid and antiquated idea. Two things I'd like to say though:

One: you can probably set up some form of auto-type from your password manager to get around this issue.

Two: blocking pasting is probably because password managers and operating systems must be secure when it comes to the clipboard, and clipboard management. Because if that's not safe, your passwords you are copying and pasting are not safe.

I still miss Google Reader

And the internet as a whole moving away from RSS feeds in general is also not helpful

Even if you know windows and all those settings, windows pushed updates that add popups and bloatware.

So you don't have a choice even if you do disable it uninstall things

You can tell a shitpost is a shitpost when it is entirely wrong

Using Infinity for Lemmy right now to reply to your comment. Infinity WAS my Reddit app. And really happy to have it again for Lemmy.

I don't think the feature should be removed. Perhaps it can be reworked or improved for selecting text, but I personally appreciate the click to collapse. Very convenient to skip forward to the next item.

as someone who uses protonamil as my main email, this is very disappointing

I buy on Bandcamp and pirate through Soulseek (specifically Nicotine+).

I also buy Vinyls.

Torrenting music has been pretty trash for me so I haven't bothered in ages.

To add on to what others are saying, install Firefox+uBlock Origin

Personally seems like an almost insurmountable hill to become popular and mainstream. It's not that I don't think it's possible, I just don't think that there is a significant push for it to do so. There's no corporate advertising to help push it.

Is that a problem though? Does it need to become popular and mainstream?

I've found this to be a pretty good resource for abandoned video games: https://www.myabandonware.com/

It's too soon. All the current forks for both yuzu and Citra are being done by people with the means and willingness to fork the original projects.

Let the dust settle, and let's see which project has the devs willing to actually continue development where things left off.

Almost looks half way to becoming a pancake

Torx screws and threaded inserts is not really that much effort engineering side.

It has more significant impact on the cost. Millions of torx screws and threaded inserts cost more than self tapping Phillips into plastic.

SyncThing - to sync my files between devices and avoid the big corporations cloud (use it for notes, Keepass database, photos, etc)

Logseq - super advanced note taking with tagging and relationships between notes (all store locally)

Authpass - opening my Keepass password database on my phone

GrapheneOS Camera - just to avoid the Google camera app as I have Google Photos disabled on my phone and needrd a good app that doesn't break when going to view the gallery (since it tries to open Google Photos)

Simple Gallery - to view my photos on my phone

Signal - I have it but I have very few friends that use it unfortunately

AntennaPod - for podcasts, I'm thinking of self hosting a podcast tracker to sync my listening habits across my devices, we'll see if that happens

Vinyl Music Player - to play my local mp3 files and playlists (I use MusicBee to manage what I sync to the phone as my mp3 library is quite large, and SyncThing to actually copy stuff over)

Depends where you are located. Where I am, I'd have to prove to the government that all the parts are certified with traceability reports. Which you cannot get with your at home printer?

Arr service that links with SoulSeek, automatically downloads music, passes it through beets, calculates ReplayGain values and the rest of the missing metadata and then organizes and renames it

Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas are well known for high quality dialogue and plot. The Bethesda games on the other hand...

Not interested in something that supports ads or subscriptions. It definitely doesn't fit the ethos or average desires of most lemmy users from what I understand.

The free and open source applications for lemmy are working out for me, so I really have no need for something like this that goes against what I believe lemmy stands for

Actually had a conversation the other day on Lemmy with another user where we disagreed on a topic.

We did not attack each other or were agressive. So I'll take that as a win

Of all the comparisons you could make, you compared it to a website you can buy the files, and download them DRM free?

This is the one example where you can actually keep the files even if the band deleted their account.

So all is just Microsoft and Sony blaming each other of being more anti-competitive

Also this doesn't have to be drug related. Making the effort to observe your thoughts is a cool therapy technique

Yes, I can't live without it

Doesn't have exactly the same features but I've simply been using Logseq syncing my notes with Syncthing

I like Logseq. It doesn't meet your first requirement, where the image is in the title. But I do insert images in-line in my notes. But it has tagging, can be synced with syncthing or whatever application of your choice, and is cross platform.

I tried buying the BluRay to one of the recent Spider-Man movies. Unfortunately, due to DRM, I could not play it in my BluRay drive on my PC? I might have had to download some proprietary video playback software or something.

I realized that this too was such a hassle compared to the files that I could potentially download. As great as physical media is, the convenience factor plays an impact for me. I want to own my media, but I have to put in work and have a non-ideal setup to watch it.

On top of everything, with all the intros, and piracy warnings, just so many layers of non-comvenience.

People are using AI tools to do crazy stuff with music right now. It's pretty great

Nice. Looking forward to all the fresh content and discussion in this community

Firefox on Desktop doesn't support PWAs

Apparently Firefox on Android does

We already did Elon Musk, now we're on Taylor Swift, the next one? Who knows

It's legal if it's in the sales contract. Usually there is a timeframe.

You should look into Ferrari and their rules. They are even crazier than Tesla for things like this.

I went back into Reddit a couple times during the blackout as it's so easy to click the Infinity icon on my homescreen. And I've got to say, the quality of posts on my feed were so much worse. Zero text posts, only images. I started unsubscribing from a bunch of those subreddits. Starting to realize how little value most of Reddit gives me. The only things of actual value are behind subreddits that have gone dark. I've been enjoying Lemmy so much more and having more meaningful conversation. It's so much better

If true. This is awesome. Definitely concerned me enough to think about avoiding buying this.

You are not in a normal situation so how can it be normal? Normal activity if you're awake. And you're awake.

I do not browse Reddit casually anymore. Google takes me there occasionally because there is still useful specific information there.

But otherwise I'm all onboard with Lemmy now.

You can use Chrome for those websites if they completely break, and Firefox for everything else.

Banks and government websites don't tend to have adverts.
