When I moved to lemmy (Don’t know if was last year or this year already) all the other apps I tested was really bad at discoverability. On Sync you can open and instance and see the list of communities in there for example.

Me too but I believe Sync for some time now has a Pro+ that has more features and is subscription based.

River is really good. It is a detective show and is aa limited series which I like because there is no fillers. Also it stars Stellan Skarsgård which is always great.

The Fall is also great. Also detective, this one Gillian Anderson going after a serial killer. I think her character is really good.

Dark is super famous, at least in my corner of the woods. IIt as all the rage if anything it is kinda overrated.

I also recommend It Follows. It is so different. And the characters don’t act dumb. And everything makes sense in the context. Like why they dont get a car or catch a plane, because they are broke teenagers.

I update only when I reboot the machine or I have to. So it is normal for me to go 3, 6 months without updates. So it is always like 1 to 5 GB of updates. And that is because I decided to not install texlive again.

Is that a reference to that tweeter thread about it?

I started with Firefox when I was a teenager yet, and when the first chrome version dropped it was awesome so I migrated. I think I was at uni at the time and Google was seem as a good thing. Gmail was just a couple of years old and was awesome. Webmails at the time was rought.

But chrome changed, and goodle changed. But many years into it was hard to move away. For me the biggest single problem with Firefox was that I could not kill tabs in the tabs “process manager”. I keep a lot of tabs open and no browser really solved the problem of many open tabs and tabs that keept open for many weeks. A lot of websites have “memory leak” and slowly but surely grow and grow with memory usage (YouTube is one of them). So that and a bunch of tabs made the usage of the kill tab a must. Over the years I looked for extensions to both organize the tabs better and also not have to keep só much of them opened. But nothing really helped me change my bad habits. I almost migrated back to Firefox when they had the tab groups feature. But they removed and also removed some functionality that made easy to change the whole browser but was a security nightmare.

Anyway, things have changed and I am in the process of migrating. I can kill tabs in Firefox now. I was missing the group tabs feature from chrome, because I got used to it but I think Sideberry can do that and also help manage a lot of tabs/windows and also snapshots. I use session buddy in chrome. But that fucker failed me many times and I had to recovered the lost saved sessions. That kinda leave worried with Sideberry and use more of the advanced tab management stuff. But at least I noticed today that it can auto-export the snapshots to the external FS and then no matter what happens with the extension DB I can always recover it.

So Yeah. Took a minute but I think I am almost ready to really migrate.

TL;DR: Getting too comfy with a closed platform is a bitch.

That is the worst when it happens. Like the calories sure are there how they make this pizza/burguer/soda/whatever tastes so bland?

“I like my coffee bitter, like life”

“If it tastes good It is not healthy”

Just to clarify, I am not a super healthy eater. I like to use this expression when the topic comes up to point out that there is no magic and is a miserable experience to lose weight and eat better, better to come to terms with it.

Yeah. I am not a super positive person.

I used to always say that to myself in my native language. Seems to be a pretty common saying it seems. In this days I some times still say it. But I don’t think I believe in it anymore.

Are you heating your plastic piercings?

There is a Brazilian Rock Band with a great song named “Santa Claus son of a bitch” (or maybe motherfucker) here is the Google translate (with light editing) of the first couple verses:

Santa Claus motherfucker
Reject the wretched
I want to kill him!
That capitalist pig

Give gifts to the rich
And spits on the poor
Give gifts to the rich
And spits on the poor
