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.

My spice tolerance definitely increased after living in Sichuan Province for 6 months.

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’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 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 had one of the original nanos, but I don’t remember this.

Bash on Terminator with powerline theme from Oh-My-Bash. I think the colors are the generic Linux colors in Terminator.

Hiding was also my favorite feature from Apollo. I’d just go through the feed swiping to hide posts, because if I didn’t then when I refreshed I’d be scrolling through the same posts over and over again.

I’m sad that Apollo is gone, but Memmy for Lemmy fills the hole left in my Home Screen just fine. The app has already progressed so far, it’s licensed under the GPL, and it has made my transition from Reddit to Lemmy flawless.

Man, I guess I’m lucky mine connected without any issues right after installing F38.

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.

Salutations friend, and welcome! :D I’m excited to see so many people joining Lemmy.

👍 Can the keyboard fit in your pocket?

Nice! I also deleted mine yesterday after wiping out my comments and posts.

I have my local library on my computer, and then use iTunes Match to stream it to all of my devices. I had originally subscribed to Apple Music when it came out, but realized that I only really listened to music that I already had purchased.

When I found out about iTunes Match, and that it cost $25 / year instead of a monthly subscription, I switched to that and I’ve been happy ever since.

I really miss swiping on a post to be able to hide it. It seems like whenever I refresh my feed on Lemmy, I am seeing the same posts over and over again.

Well, I loved Lamy Dark Lilac enough to buy a scalped bottle of it on eBay when it was $120. :D

It’s one of my favorite inks in my collection. I’m just now starting to use it more. My second favorite ink is also a purple one; Diamine Imperial Purple.

I don’t need another pen… But a fully transparent Parker 51-style piston filler? HMMMM…
