What a terrible app to clone…

The author of this excellent article mentioned that we and by extension, our friends, all hate being on TwiXter etc. but cant figure out a day to leave or place to go. While I believe the ‘place’ should be figured out amongst yourselves and there are many excellent options getting better by the day, I will do the hard thing and choose a time to make it easier for you/us…

Please be sure to have you destination decided ahead of time. Just like voting, I suggest you do it early and feel free to be a part of the advance team that straddles between the new location while still using the former ahead of the 28th.

I believe in you and know you can do it. Tell your friends. …and you’re welcome :)

edit: RSS is a great tool that will make the move easier

Nice

Fast food roast beef sandwiches. Exactly what they are when fresh, nightmares an hour later

It was, “Which side do you dress to?” around here. Especially if i was a woman doing the measurements for the tailoring.

Ahhh. That is good to know. Well, my most down-voted post will at least have taught me something. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Huh, when i started in on Lemmy it seemed that emptying overgrown caches was the first step in troubleshooting app woes. Have they gotten to a place where this isn’t the case? Was i misinformed? Thunder seems to be more snappy now that i cleared it.

You’re one of the smart ones then. This message is for the rest of us

Fair enough. It was meant to be more, "hey everyone, I’m an idiot and thought my app was misbehaving then remembered that i needed to clear the cache. After deleting 3 and a half gigs it’s working very well again. The bit about regularly scheduled programming was probably more projection than anything else. :) Sorry if i came off sounding like a prick, if you heard me say it out loud, it would have been dripping with self depreciation. edit for spelling

… Is technology the wrong channel for cache-clear messages, are we not reminding to clear cache anymore, or is my tone being misinterpreted…? Truely interested

… Realest comment so far

How do you mean?

That’s pretty neat… I’ll look in to it. Than you for the info.

Good advice, but for how i have my workflow set up, it makes more sense for me to have it set on full amnesia. Vivaldi is what i use if i need persistence.

Tracking mostly. If i need to visit a site that i want to know the absolute minimum about me or my accounts, i use Firefox. Vivaldi is secured well, but I’m logged in to various accounts for convenience there. I have a 3 monitor set up so it’s easy to just have it open on a separate screen.

Daily Driver - Vivaldi with any applicable EFF plugins and custom settings aimed at security and privacy.

2nd Daily Driver (usually on a separate screen) - Firefox configured with any applicable EFF plugins and settings put at the most restrictive and forgetful to facilitate privacy and security.

Mobile - Literally the same as above to the extent i have the ability to ^^

You unbelievable hero. Instead of sleeping, Ive been configuring HeliBoard. Its all I’ve ever wanted (all most) and was completely off my radar. Thank you very much!

My daily driver is a zFold 4. The device itself has as much to do with a keyboard being useful as anything else. I put up with Swype not handling a foldable well because of it’s other features. I can say that Samsung’s native keyboard (obviously) handles being used between two different screens well, but if Swype began magically working again, i’d drop the native keyboard immediately.

• Phone - Samsung zFold 4
• Primary-use Keyboard - Samsung Keyboard
• Preferred Input Style - Swipe, Gesture
• Preferred number of hands involved in typing - One (mostly have to use two with Samsung keyboard)

I agree with this sentiment completely. Not sure if they still do it or not, but YTM started out letting you upload your own music and then being able to access it across any device through the app. YTM doesn’t have the best catalog now, let alone when they started so i think the upload feature was a way of acknowledging that. I uploaded both local bands that are defunct and literally nowhere online and artists that didn’t embrace the internet age and restricted their catalogs. I can still listen to the music i uploaded back then through the app or a browser. That feature set it apart from the other options available at the time. I guess I’m trying to say that i also want to own my own music, but i dont hate the convenience of some of it floating in the cloud waiting for me to pull it down. Speaking of… ownCloud is dope and what i’m transitioning to for my media. When in doubt, roll your own solution.
