Is this thread intended for 1. Android/mobile users 2. iOS/mobile users 3. People with computers/mouse/keyboard or what? It seems most Lemmy threads are pretty exclusively aimed at mobile users.

You’re joking, right?

My computer is set to 1. Warn me at 9.25 to accept or cancel suspension at 9.30. 2. Set volume to 10% and suspend at 9.30 (just in case it gets woken up, I once woke it up at 4am and had a radio application wake up the family). 3. RTC Wake set to 5.59 4. 6.25am my wakeup music plays.

I have suspend, also hybrid - where it will suspend, and after a certain time (useful for laptops, mine’s set for 12 hours so I never hit this unless I go on holiday) it’ll hibernate.

Fundamental error - as usual with Windows news.

These ‘Start Menu Ads’ aren’t rolling out to everyone, I have zero ‘Start Menu Ads’. In fact, I have Zero Ads in my operating system.

Why must Windows news always assume that everyone runs Windows? Isn’t this the main bug with all operating systems?

I was under the impression that ALL websites are basically a kind of webapp. Some (like Lazada) are what you’d call ‘Progressive Web Applications’.

I use Webapp-Manager on Linux, which will set up a shortcut to launch any website/url as a Webapp… at the time of creation, you can choose Firefox or some other browser as the backend (works well for sites that dont work in Firefox).

So for me, the BBC Radio website is a webapp, Overseerr and Sonarr are webapps too.

So really, it’s not just me that found him to be producing smarmy and careless content? My first views were of his various challenges - where they consistently ‘proved’ that people can’t do things in an OS that they don’t have experience with, which means they’d be better off doing it in a much worse OS that they used since they were kids - and therefore it’s better.

I really liked Nexus’s video - though it didn’t help me as I wouldn’t waste time on LTT. I don’t like or trust these coroporate video mills, any more than I trust Google/Youtube - they don’t give a toss as long as the money flows and they didn’t get sued.

Old news - she was taking Omega 3 capsules. Omega 3 comes from fish oil, and helps your brain develop, thus enhancing your intelligence and possibly making you more ‘arty’.

The competition refuses to accept photos enhanced by arty fish-oil intelligence.

Yes, the tree - around the roof and guttering… Drove me batty!!!

6/8 colours used so far.

On the left…

The best thing about comments is that they draw pretty coloured nesting lines.

I am the cat in this image.

Can you find the cat? Maybe circle the cat and re-up to a comment to help your Lemmie friends.

This sub stands out on Reddit for me, but I have no idea where it’s content comes from. I actually found it via a Digg RSS link…

So I remain largely a lurker.

Haha this is stunning - that someone will choose something so they are not forced to use a terminal.

Please tell us how you can install and use SearXNG, or Prowlarr, or Overseerr with your superb GUI tools?

Let’s face it. For anyone who ever used and is knowledgable about Windows, we must admit that the road to make Linux really useable from GUI alone is a very long one (and one that most of us just get bored with).

YMMV

I run Manjaro with KDE on X11… I use a lot of mouse gestures, so I can’t sit with Wayland.

• I found the SYSTEM is extremely stable for ME. It is important to say this every time…

• I find KDE is often less stable… I had at least 2 issues I couldn’t explain/understand and just fixed with restoring contents of .config from snapshots.

This is one area where Manjaro ‘held back’ and did actually save us from a lot of the bleeding edge (5.26 was a rough ride)… but that’s not an ‘Arch’ issue, that’s a ‘KDE’ issue.

But the USER likes to tip the boat until it does a barrel roll, or sinks entirely… and this is mostly what divides the happy users. Sometimes it’s just basic hardware, sometimes it’s the USER habits/modus operandi.

So we have Snapshots, and we have rsync backups to a mounted drive… Then it matters not - a quick restart fixes most issues, and a reinstall takes only 6 minutes with no data lost -> in backups.

That’s stable enough for me.

BTW, I use AUR quite a lot - and it never actually caused me an issue, other than some stuff needing rebuilds.

RSS is one of the oldest protocols existing. Basically it’s like a feed with links to things posted…

I’d suggest you start with Feedly or Inoreader, make an account and take a look.

For me, it means that I can see notifications (Inoreader) telling me how many unread items have occurred across the 79 websites I added as feeds.

• I have a folder for ‘Fediverse’ with feeds like Lemmy - ukraine (also Reddit’s r/ukraine).

• I have a ‘Linux’ folder, containing a few interesting blogs - like Niccolo’s KDE developer blog, a few news sites, plus announcements from my OS forum.

• I have a ‘News’ folder with various sources (one is a journalist I know with a Facebook page - as I don’t use Facebook).

• I have a ‘Video’ folder

• I have a ‘Time Waster’ folder which has things like Digg, WindowSwap, Drive & Listen

Basically, any time you make an account and request updates from a website, the same can be done with NO account and simply copying the RSS link.

It gives you updates on things you don’t need to bother bookmarking or opening to follow.

Ah, when I do that, I see ‘Subscribe Pending’ :(

Inoreader works very nicely for me. I have quite a few folders set up… Stuff I had bookmarks for, but rarely visited lately…

• Digg Top Stories (43 unread) if I get bored - at least a dozen of those will keep me entertained.

Stuff from the ‘other’ place - useful fodder to consider ‘bridging’ or just ‘copy/pasting’ over in Fediverse :P

• Reddits (e.g. Dad Jokes)
• Fediverse (https://lemmy.world/c/dadjokes)

I added the Firefox extension, so if I visit Youtube - for example (open this in a PRIVATE window, not logged in) Insights from Ukraine and Russia then I can Easily add the RSS by searching in Inoreader.

Here’s Daily Dose of Internet

The beauty being that you can quickly go through all this stuff - great keyboard accessibility (90% covered with Shift J-K to go to the next/previous feed, Shift-X to toggle expansion of the folder, J - K to go (and mark read) the next/previous item (but you can ALWAYS view all articles in a thread)… all without visiting the sites.

Feedly and Inoreader are both awesome - and you can (and should regularly) export a list of your feeds as a backup/migration strategy.

How do we get to the ‘megathread’ ? I never knew one existed.

WTheRtRevKaiser - you didn’t post a link to the ‘megathread’ - I’m not sure I know where that is. Sorry… I need a tutorial for every suggested action ;)

Well, despite the difficulties translating to Federated platforms, I will certainly be working on alternative social platforms.

I no longer use Quora or Facebook…

I unsubscribed my ‘YouTube’ channels and added them as RSS feeds, so there’s no need for me to be signed in there to consume content from creators I follow.

I hope that a month or two with the Fediverse will allow me to understand it better. I’m sure that many Fediverse users will also remain on Reddit and be able to advise folks on what to do.

If anyone on, for example, r/firefox announced activity over here, I’d follow them here. So whatever the ‘bots’ say, I know what’s occurring in my corner.
