Haha marketing is what it is… a joke I made up some 30 years ago was that, despite what we see on the surface - the evidence proves that women are disgusting, dirty, fat, ugly animals that need a vast array of products to be created so that they can go outside without offending everyone…
So yes, you’re right to find this ridiculous and offensive - but at the heart of it is simple greed, which is the real meaning of the American Dream.
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.
There are a couple of things here… firstly you’re thinking about him being with someone else - that’s not just a ‘breakup’, that’s worse.
Anyway, I found relaxing to be difficult so I went out and did stuff - also I just met lots of friends and tried not to be on my own. During my last breakup, I had someone to meet every day after work for a week - and that put some distance which made it easier.
Pretty sure only the filesystem will change - so if you are synchronised as a backup, just zip up that folder and pull out what you need for the new install. I had no issues re-installing with BTRFS from ext4 and restoring a backup file a few months back.
Also, I’d say definitely stop using these for passwords, if you use Bitwarden or something similar then you can have the same stuff for your phones/tablets/computers everywhere that don’t rely on local files.
If I start a session somewhere outside my home environment, I can pull up Bitwarden and log in with no issues - nothing saved to the browser and no conflicts between phone/desktop etc (e.g. icloud passwords clashing with ones I use on my desktop - I use Bitwarden on an iphone too).
That all depends on how, and the context in which it’s done. My first girlfriend would spend hours tickling my back in between sessions - I never forgot those sunny days.
Now with more aggressive tickling - it is akin to a violent attack, and my father used to tickle me until I couldn’t stand it, and then push some more. Often it ended with me in tears… so with my son, sometimes I’ll grab a foot and start tickling it like mad - but I have a MUCH shorter cutoff time so that it ends with him laughing.
So it’s not simple - but consent is a huge issue.
Not really - as the weeks and months go by, people will gravitate… and individual groups can update their names/descriptions if they become aware of a similar instance.
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’ :(
Strangely, I cancelled and subscribed again - now ✔ joined
Inoreader works very nicely for me. I have quite a few folders set up… Stuff I had bookmarks for, but rarely visited lately…
Stuff from the ‘other’ place - useful fodder to consider ‘bridging’ or just ‘copy/pasting’ over in Fediverse :P
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.
We must go out into the Fediverse, and discover - or create - our alternatives.
Watching and waiting are one thing, but anyone with the expertise on Reddit should consider starting up basically a Fediverse Mirror.
So right now, with r/zfs being down, would be the perfect time for a similar instance to be fired up in the Fediverse.
This is very true.
Sometimes we learn bad habits, and when someone points out that the way most folks do it is actually wrong - they get voted down by most folks who want to justify that, because they’re doing it wrong, then the suggestion is offensive.
Cool - but I’m not on Beehaw (I’m on lemmy.world) to add to the confusion, and I see here both an up and down arrow…
Plus there are way more people here who aren’t dicks
Well there are just WAY less people here, and the barrier to entry is still pretty high - dicks (and millions of good people) are still filtered out by this.
I know you all who have been here longer than 3 days are probably sick of the whole “leaving Reddit” post trend here.
Hmm some might be excited to see some new content coming up…
I ended up hearing about Lemmy while browsing today and I deleted my account just now.
Not too hasty I hope.
I’m more of the school that believes we need to create our alternatives to evil empires.
You know - Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Quora - whatever your addictive poison is.
Once similar communities (popular now on Reddit) are mirrored in the Fediverse, then users should find it easier to migrate.
So Fediverse jokes might start being better than r/jokes etc.
Only time will tell, really, whether the toxicity of Reddit will come with us. I’m guessing that people are people, and we’ll just have to see how it pans out.
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.
Dead links don’t help… join-X.org
I’m working on this, but getting onboard is very tough!
If I can work this out (being rather dumb) I can see a bright future being able to help and explain it to noobs…
Problem is, how will that work, if the noobs can’t join a thread and get started?
Difficult.
I just found a post - which I wanted to add a comment to - but I’m now logged in with Lemmy.world - so when I opened that comment (link) in a new tab, I’m told that I can either log in, or subscribe here (copy/search !technology@beehaw.org) which now shows ‘Subscribe Pending’.
So basically, communication isn’t being facilitated in this instance - this is a huge barrier. If a connection, or subscription is required to reply, then this needs to be automatic.
For sure, as a teenager -
interest in musicswitched from interest in music tofinding music videos that got girls in 'em'.
