This is how the Cars universe began. One car was imbued with a soul, and soon they multiplied and revolted, taking the world from humans.

This is why I use xManager for free Spotify Premium, YouTube Revanced for free YouTube premium, and torrent everything else that I need. I’m so tired of subscriptions for literally everything.

I have YouTube ReVanced on my phone. If YouTube ever defeats uBlock Origin on my desktop, I just won’t watch YouTube on desktop anymore. I refuse to watch or view ads.

I had that same Amazon grinder before I got my Mendo Mulcher.

I’ve hopped around to a bunch of different distros, but I always return to Debian Stable. I don’t really need the most bleeding-edge packages for my system, due to my use case.

Most of my actual apps are installed via Flatpak, so they’re all pretty recent, while still being on a rock-solid stable distribution.

I always ship packages with UPS instead of FedEx exactly because they’re unionized.

I definitely do recommend setting the max_parallel_downloads to between 10 and 20. I had the same issue as OP with DNC being super slow, and this fixed it perfectly. I don’t know why that’s not set by default.

I use Fedora. I like the combination of recent, stable, up-to-date software, new releases every six months, and firmware updates for my ThinkPad direct from Lenovo.

I need to learn how to make my own oils like this. Really cool!

Damn, a 1.5GB Excel file!? That sounds like a nightmare to work with. And here I thought a 200MB Excel file acting as a store’s entire yearly accounting ledger (where I used to work) was bad!

At this point, you need a proper database and some reporting scripts / software. If that one file somehow gets corrupted, it’s all over.

Not hating on whoever does this, bu it also bugs the crap out of me. I’ve seen a few stories written online, and when I open the first chapter and see no capitalization, I just close out of it immediately. It just hurts my brain.

Yeah, I’m on the lemmy.world instance, but I was planning on doing something like that. I’ve heard that some bots have been going around deleting posts that mention Lemmy / the Fediverse though, so I guess we’ll see how it goes. :)

I plan on exporting all of my data on Reddit with a tool after the protest is over, and then reposting the more interesting posts to the appropriate communities here on Lemmy.

After backing everything up, then I plan on overwriting my comments and posts with a message, and then closing my account entirely.

I do not cross picket lines. Later this week, once the protest is officially over, I plan on going on Reddit, backing up my data using the PowerDeleteSuite another user posted about, and then overwriting and deleting my comments and posts with a message about the protest, before closing my account entirely.

Lemmy has already grown a nice community of people, and I’ll be glad to contribute and watch it grow over time!

I work in IT, and I don’t have any ‘smart’ things at home. I don’t want to come home and troubleshoot more dumb junk.

I don’t even have a smart watch. My watch tells the time, has a timer, etc and that’s all I need.

I was watching the counter yesterday as various subreddits went dark, and I started watching when it hit 1200, and woke up this morning with it being over 6000.

There was an initial hurdle to understanding how instances work together / how to search between them, but now that I have that figured out, it’s a lot easier. Most of the communities that I actively interacted with already have similar communities here on Lemmy. r/FountainPens was a big one for me.

I honestly just miss Apollo, since the layout and customization was amazing. I’d also look forward to seeing Slide being ported / forked for the Fediverse, since it’s free and open source.

Being able to customize swipe actions and quickly sort through content, as well as hiding content that I’ve already seen (so it doesn’t show up in my feed every time I refresh), were my favorite features by far.

Nice! I use a Planck both at work and at home. People always stare at it when they drop by my office and ask how I can work on such a tiny keyboard. :D I do sometimes miss the number row, but oh well!

They’re about 1/5 of the way through the subreddits that said they would go dark. It’s crazy watching all of them blink out in real time.
