Always hated the ads and thought it would make sense for different fandoms to have their own instances.

Specific apps, sites, frontends, features, etc. Like the what you would like to see post, but instead I want to hear about what already exists that you like.

What apps/sites are yall using lately that you weren't in the past 2 years? Any features you like?

Are there new lemmy frontends or ones that are your goto? I remember that being a thing that felt superior to the regular front end but I don't remember which were good or how to access them.

Has Friendica, Mastodon or any other service got signicant or interesting updates in the last year or 2? Any Linux clients? Does a fully interconnected app or one meant for crossposting exist? Saw that openvibe switched to a subscription model recently and you can only log in to 2 profiles. I've always liked the idea of publish on your own site, syndicate everywhere and the activityhub seems built for that, yet it doesn't seem possible across it? Does anything actually support that here yet in a usable way. (I always found making crossposts to mastadon from lemmy and vice versa confusing.)

I just feel out of the loop and don't see much discussion about what's new here. Wouldn't mind anyone doing self promo, since I never see that here.

Some things I'm aware of that weren't around when I got interested in the fediverse

• Loops on both appstores (Tiktok Alternative)
• Intersteller on ios appstore (Mbin client, lets you reply in feed and scroll around instead of opening a full screen popup)

Whenever my main pc is running some heavy game that requires all resources, I throw my handheld on the 2nd monitor, just swapping inputs between bluetooth and wireless to go back and forth when necessary. Works great for multitasking. Think it's nice when my handheld is being used for gaming, my pc is in productivity mode, and when I want to play something heavier my handheld becomes the productivity pc (I sometimes do remote work and keep games running on my main pc for when I take breaks so I don't have to reload the game.)

Obviously a benefit that can come from any mini pc, backup laptop, etc. but in the case of handhelds, mine is never just sitting around collecting dust, if I'm gaming on my PC, it is doing my regular pc tasks like webbrowsing, streaming, etc. and if I'm using my main pc for productivity it becomes my gaming break device again. Just not something I considered as I was worried if I got back into heavier gaming on my pc it would become a waste of money.

Wallstreetbets got taken away from this user and handed to the reddit community owner.

Could be a hero, concept, series, team, etc. any company. I really like the h dial from dc and wish it was used more.

I just binged millarworld, ngl I hated most of it, superior, starlight and huck were the main standout exceptions. I did like big game, felt like it retroactively made his previous books better and had a good ending. Not the biggest fan of the new huck (huck gets cucked) and nemesis books that have come after.

Not sure what to start next, was nice to have a reading order. Read the valiant universe 2012 reboot before this. Probably going to do marvel/dc next, tried to start with greenlantern after kickass to read something light at emerald city. A few issues later I hit the fridge and had to stop reading, not sure what's worse, that or what happens to katie in kickass.

Going for real id, I think I can go in the appointment line since it says to do that, I preverified the documents. I went to madera years ago and my parents have always went there because they say it's the fastest, tho that is just an assumption at this point since it has been many years since they tried elsewhere.

What's the one with the most tolerable wait? Like seating area or ability to wait outside and come back? Do they all have appointment lines, and I just want to make sure I can enter that line without an appointment.

If you tried it in the past and had issues, try it again. It's the best ui for using lemmy imo. I had been using arctic for a while but was getting bugs with clicking on notifications not leading me to the correct comment.

The testflight has experimental piefed support, don't think notifications work there yet.

Voyager also has piefed support, and is my second favorite right now. Mlem is also stable, but i'm not a fan of the look no matter how I customize it.

The fk is clara supposed to be now? I thought she the impossible girl, the girl who is somehow alive but shouldnt be, the surviving impossible girl, this episode makes her the dead and forever forgotten girl, the girl who wasn't remembered. The only companion the doctor forgets, who jumps into a timestream to save him throughout history but just loses her life out of it.

The doctor implies humans came after and descended from timelords, but what if far in the future humans that generically modified themseleves to survive a harsh empty planet ( two hearts for whatever reason) they had settled on after thousands/millions of years of humans migrating out in the world, like the doctor loves to mention, found a time vortex on accident or settled there on purpose.

Regenerations solve death, give people extra chances can descend from the concept of reincarnation. No age, gender, or race discrimination since you can die and become any. They lived near a time vortex and that couldve sent the whole dome encased city back millions of years back in time leading to an event where they later create humans. The whole fry is his own grandpa situation.

I think they are both descendants of humans and that they created humans.

I feel like I'm googling the wrong thing since I'm mostly getting start menu replacements and not a supplement. I want to click the ps button or a keyboard button and have a grid pop up over my apps that displays pinned apps/games that I can scroll through and launch with my controller or keyboard. Does something like that this exist?

Been using the CLI more and more and for whatever reason it gives me more dopamine than using apps with a GUI and I'm curious about what else is out there since I was a windows user til 6 months ago.

Discovering ish and the ability to use alpine linux on my iphone, also has me curious if there is anything useful/fun out there that isn't openssh, ranger, and ffmpeg. (a-shell is still updated and comes with those two by default but doesn't have access to alpine repo and apk, uses its own iphone based thing) Tho im curious about cli tools/apps in general to use on my pc or over ssh, not just those that could be installed on my phone

I mostly use ffmpeg to convert video and compress stuff for size limits (so I can convert before sftp when away from my pc after the render finishes) Ranger file manager on phone since it can easily exit at a path, and yazi with the shell script that lets it exit at whatever path your on on pc.

Will update this list as people comment.

• Conversion/Compression: ffmpeg
• Email: mutt, neomut
• File management: mc, nnn, ranger, yazi, sfm
• File editor: vim, neovim
• Git: lazygit
• Piracy: ani-cli (anime) rip (music)
• Pdf Management: pdftk (pdftk-idk, or stapler)
• Python: rich, pythondialog, textual
• Docker management : lazydocker
• Performance monitor: btop, nvtop (nvidia), ncdu (disk usage)
• Network management: nmtui
• Web browser : browsh (firefox backend)
• Video downloader: yt-dlp
• Shell scripts: dialog, whiptail
• Misc: netpbm (plaintext image creation) If you can't comment this post seems to be bugged for me at least, says I've deleted it and I can't reply to anyone.

Like the window thumbnails gnome extension? Prob the main thing keeping me on gnome right now.

How accurate are the dates for upcoming releases typically?

I think ar might be a dead dream in its current state, I always thought wed have proper ar glasses by now because I fell for Magic Leaps Marketting, not sure if it'll come anytime soon.

What I do believe is coming is the resurgence of computers through mobile phones. Everyone has a powerful computer in their pockets but isn't able to use them to their full potential. I wouldn't be suprised if android pushed out a proper android desktop experience letting android users get the full linux desktop experience when plugged into a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

Phone performance is stronger than the average laptops/netbooks from 10 years age and they run linux fine for everyday use. Feels like a missed opportunity if someone doesn't drop a phone or os that lets you take advantage of modern hardwares capability. They could advertise it to families, mo more buying a pc for school, just get them hardware for their existing device, it can already do everything. Schools could use lapdocks, or tabletdocks, that could force school parental controls on devices while at school and still let them use it for their education while in class.

(obviously not everyone has a phone but that frees up resources for the kids that dont, if the kids that do can use cheaper docks with their exisitnt hardware)

For those who don't know, basic premise is robocop type from 2077 gets sent back in time with a bunch of prisoners during a failed execution (a lot more revealed about that as time goes on) and is stuck in 2012 trying to catch them and get back, the plot changes/evolves a lot as the show goes on. Another main point is a young tech genius who later becomes overlord bezos is helping her. (minor spoiler) I feel like I could write paragraphs about the plot with fullon spoilers that would only really spoil 1% of what goes on in this show.

I always liked time travel concepts and watched every show/movie and read a lot of books/manga/comics related to it, but somehow never heard of continuum. This show was solid, nothing too crazy, but it was consistent with the twists and the plot stayed fresh keeping the show entertaining, I was able to binge it pretty fast without the usual headache that comes from a long show where it just starts to blend together.

They do thematic changes a lot that definitely helps. Season 1 was like buddy cop, man in the chair, almost superhero like. The later seasons switch more to being about branching realities, different timelines, how small changes effect people, and I like how they approach time travel in multiple forms. I wish it kept the cheesiness tho, felt like it got way more serious in tone by the end.

The show also kinda hits extra right now since the politics and the world people are trying to change are basically the direction we are going rnow with corporations, corrupt government, etc.

Had a green battery icon and was confused because I was nowhere near a charger, in battery settings it said slow charger. Went away on reboot, but my battery on reboot climbed up from 85-87 as i watched lol. Mildly alarming since I've had phones inflate in the past. (been many many yeaes)
