I’m digging it so far. My only things of initial note are the account switch button and logout button are pretty close together and, while I appreciate an option to enlarge content text, I think there needs to be an option to enlarge UI text. Some of the stuff, like the subscription list in the drawer, is tiny for my old eyes (and fat fingers). Oh, and maybe a way to tell you’ve up/downvoted something at a glance other than the vote number changing. I’ve added the app on Obtainium to continue following along. 😊

My personal favorite is the theory that it’s coming ahead of the planned EMP on October 11. 🙄

Glad you’re enjoying it. I haven’t messed with Endevour much myself, as Arch-based stuff is a little more hands on than I want to be, personally, most of the time. I think the switch to Linux is easier than a lot of people think. It really just takes some patience, knowing that it’ll be an adjustment, and accepting that you’ll need to find alternatives to some apps.

I made the mistake of fucking around and finding out with the AUR on Manjaro (before all the major drama). Broke it - though, it did make it 2 years beforehand, amazingly. But yeah, totally about Fedora. Fedora made me stop distrohopping.

Cool deal. Thanks. It was just a convenient time, as I got a new SSD. So I could either clone the old drive or try something new, so I just decided to give Tumbleweed an honest go. I ended up liking it. But Fedora was truly the OS that finally got me to stop hopping every so often. I’d definitely be down to revisit at some point.

What’d you end up on, out of curiosity? I was on Fedora for a couple years, but with the whole Red Hat thing (that I don’t fully understand the implications of), I switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed. Still have love for Mint, though, after all these years.

People have been saying “the year of the Linux desktop” for 20 years now. I definitely think it’s closer than ever now that gaming (aside from some anticheat stuff) is mostly there thanks to Valve putting in the work, for sure. Once Win 10 hits EOL, this being the last Windows holdout I have, it’ll get Linux like the rest of them.

I’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.

I use 1337 for PSA torrents, which are a little behind what’s on the official site. Otherwise, I don’t think I’d want to use their site directly. Pahe definitely seems more straightforward. I’ll check out a few of their releases and see if it works for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

Every time I reboot or Jackett updates, it doesn’t work anymore. I have to reinstall. Then it’ll work until the next update and/or reboot. Repeat. No idea what’s up with it. On Windows 10.

For movies, PSA slotted right in the quality/size hole RARBG left for x265 movies. There’s groups with better quality at higher filesizes (like QxR), but the ~2GB 1080p stuff PSA puts out suits my needs well.

TV is a little eh. XEN0N is where I ended up, but definitely isn’t on par with ION10/ION265. I haven’t found a great catch-all replacement. But I haven’t had to grab a ton of TV lately, to be honest.

I like sites that are aggregators of content (no one site, necessarily). I think the best move is to find release groups you like the quality of and trust. From there, find out where they upload. I was a big fan of RARBG remuxes (x265) and RARBG-affiliated TV release groups, so it took a bit to find acceptable and consistent replacements. It’s worth the effort.

Wow, ed2k is still alive and kicking? I don’t think I’ve used them since like 2005.

Meta is killing off Messenger Lite soon. I don’t know that they’re embracing the Lite route as much anymore.

My 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.

The line you quoted as “editorializing” (“how the children obtained guns”) is literally a line pulled directly from the article subheader. In other words, there’s no editorialization from OP. Like, you do realize that… right? By your replies, I can’t tell if you’re just trolling hard or that oblivious.

Thank you so much for finding it! This is it. It really sucks that it has to come to that.

I wish I could find the post/comment from a small instance admin that said it quickly became a nightmare trying to moderate without a team, and people were filling their drive storage with white noise files and crap, needing to be purged twice. I believe they even mentioned they were shutting down the instance and it being a cautionary tale of why not to join a smaller instance.

EDIT: waveform.social

Not sure why people are downvoting you, since that’s exactly what happened. It’s Bungiefan_ak, a troll that admins are playing wackamole with, as the person keeps appearing on new instances and pulling the same shit.
