Just a spacefaring raccoon that’s eaten all the food onboard. Sorry.

17·1 year agoI’m amazed Spice is still around. I don’t know why; I guess I just hadn’t seen it or heard or thought about it in years.
4·1 year agoI just want them to add precipitation radar. That’s all I really feel like they’re missing.
5·1 year agoMy bad. I somehow misread and misunderstood that was the problem. I see someone else helped you get there. Hopefully the rest is easier. 😅
Run the program. You should start out with Download highlighted at the top. Put in your Lemmy instance and credentials where it asks. Hit the Download button, which will download a JSON file - it’ll pull stuff like subscriptions from your Lemmy account. At the top, tab over to Upload. Put in the new instance and credentials, and hit Upload. It should pull the JSON file it created when you downloaded and “set up” your new account you’re migrating to. You’ll still need to go in and adjust some things, but your subscriptions (for example) should be there.
EDIT: To clarify, Download is for downloading your “old” account info, and Upload is for uploading that info to your “new” account.
7·1 year agoA decade old gaming PC (that was mid-tier at best back then), a PS5 that’s not technically mine, a Switch, and an OG Xbox One. Tell me about it. 😂
37, US, and yes. I prefer manual for keeping my attention actively on the car and driving.
What, you don’t like to install the Web Store through a separate extension crx download, mess around in the settings, and enable dev mode? Wait til you hear what you have to do to get DRM working (Spotify, Netflix, Hulu, etc). Hint: It’s a separate zipped download of Widevine that you have to extract deep in the AppData folder, assuming you’re on Windows.
While I agree with this, it’s kind of a pain in the ass if you use extensions. You have to roundabout install the Web Store through a crx download, tinkering in the settings and enabling dev mode, then use that extension to install other extensions. And may the cosmos grant you mercy if you need to use DRM for Spotify, Netflix, Hulu, etc, and have to download the Widevine DRM stuff separately and unzip it deep in the AppData folder.
It’s not impossible, but I guess I’m just saying that this probably isn’t going to be the answer for the everyday, average person.

I don’t have an answer, but I am interested. That said, apparently Firefox can now import and use Chrome extensions with the new update. I have yet to try it myself and assume your mileage will vary.

I just wish it had a precipitation radar. I’m pretty sure the data is available because I’ve seen another FOSS app that had it, but I can’t remember which now.
I’ve heard Matrix is closer to Discord, but not quite as feature-rich - with the tradeoff being open source. I joined the Matrix room for Jerboa development just to follow along, and then my home Matrix instance has a chat it threw me in when first logging into Element that I let roll but mostly ignore. I have no idea what I’m doing or even why I really joined, other than to check it out for myself to see what it’s all about.
I don’t think I’ve been on IRC since 2006ish. It was the gathering ground for my favorite private torrent tracker at the time. We had internet radio and all kinds of fun stuff.
Before that, like back in the AOL days, there were chat-based filesharing server rooms, where you would get a list of files, then request whatever illicit goods you wanted via chat commands.
I’m not really sure what people use IRC for now, but it’s still active.
Some instances have a 100kb limit, which is understandable, but very inconvenient if you don’t have a way to shrink the filesize down. This is my best estimation as to why you get errors when trying to upload directly to posts, as it’s happened to me bouncing between various instances. There’s usually a statement in the “About this site”/sidebar area on your instance’s main page.
Image uploads are limited to 100kb
So you’ll have to use some alternatives; I’ve seen catbox.moe used a lot on Lemmy.
2·1 year agoNothing broken or nonfunctional or anything. I’ve just been more of a fan of Cinnamon (and Xfce before that). I hadn’t tried Plasma in any real capacity in years, so figured I’d see where it’s at now; it’s fine. So they’re more complaints than issues - “old man yells at cloud”-type stuff because I have to figure out everything again, which is frustrating when you have a workflow.
Fair enough. May your future internet interactions trend more positive. Have a good rest of your night, day, or whatever time it is where you’re at.
You came out aggressively swinging from comment one, pal. Not sure what’s got you at an 11, but I guess I could have been nicer. That’s my bad.
Ok, bud. 😂
I’ll try and keep it short with a bullet list, as I can tend to be long-winded about everything.
There are some reasons to like Windows, but it’s harder to justify with the direction Microsoft is, and has been, moving.
EDIT: To actually answer your question about Steam and Linux… because I have a Steam account that I’ve had for many, many years with 1000 games that predates me moving to Linux in a more serious capacity. While I could move to GOG (and have), I’m not just going to throw away my game library. But also, Steam working to make gaming more mainstream on Linux is a net positive for Linux in general. That was always the reason many people gave for why they wouldn’t switch - that, and proprietary software that won’t run on anything other than Windows or maybe Mac.
