The only real issue I have is that searching for communities I know exist on other instances often fails, and opening them in their home instances doesn't offer a subscribe button to my host instance.
Coldest was -44°C when I was working as a northern lights guide in Norway. We'd always take our tour groups to areas with a high likelihood of polar activity, and once the whole coast was widely overcast so that we had to drive almost to the Finnish border. Camped out along the road towards Kilpisjärvi coming from Skibotn (company was based in Tromso).
Hottest was +45°C in Lagos, Nigeria. Used to work there as well for a good while.
I've read some things online about it all but I'm not a total IT boff. Is it really true that Brave browser won't be able to block ads once the changes are made next year?...
Fennec is even better than Firefox, it's the same source but recompiled to allow all add-ons in the main app. So basically a stable Firefox nightly, if you wish.
It's maintained by the folks behind the f-droid app store themselves, so arguably a highly trusted source.
Sync to Firefox desktop fully implemented and working.
Is there anything you’d like to talk about or share but haven’t found a place to do so? What communities (or “subreddits” for all Reddit refugees) would you like to see?...
I greatly respect when an app developer takes the care to design their app to follow their OS Human Interface Guidelines. Apps like Apollo (and wefwef/Voyager for Lemmy) for example rose to popularity partly due to looking and feeling like native iOS apps...
I forgot the name, was on a 8086 machine. You controlled a little diamond shaped character and have to squish enemies shaped like the letter H (on higher levels with double outlines) between moveable and immovable blocks. Later they also lay eggs that would hatch faster and faster.
I’m reading a lot papers after I switched positions in my job. I felt reading on my display annoying. I can’t draw on the PDF easily nor able to read while I code (not without switching windows). And printing papers is annoying too. I can’t search and the physical paper pile up quickly....
I absolutely and utterly swear by my reMarkable 2.
Large enough to display pdf's without having to scale down (which always messes up the page readability), can take notes right on the pages, even in multiple layers if I want, can draw on top, include overlays, export my notes as text or even save them within the pdf itself, etc. etc. etc.
There's a companion app (Android and iOS) and a client software (Windows and Mac). They sync the reading progress as well as notes, so you can always take the version from your PC and print it with all your notes in place if needed.
The software only works as a reader though, so you can't edit anything there. If you do use it to read on, it syncs the current page you're on back to the device though, so at least you can read continuously.
I don’t understand people who say they can’t figure out Lemmy or KBin
Does federation have a bit of a learning curve? No doubt....
What's the benefit of using Kbin over Lemmy?
I see a very small minority of people using Kbin, but I don’t understand why....
What series did you rewatch most often?
Movies are great, but now on to the real deal. Honestly? Who has time to rewatch a series??...
do you guys shop on places like aliexpress/Temu and if you do what items have pleasantly surprised you?
I’m curious what sorta finds you guys have had
What's the hottest and coldest temperature you've ever been in?
Indoor temperatures don’t count. I’m talking about the weather....
Homebrew insulin or diy 3D printed meat?
Which do you think we’re getting first?
What will happen to Brave browser after the manifest change?
I've read some things online about it all but I'm not a total IT boff. Is it really true that Brave browser won't be able to block ads once the changes are made next year?...
Does anyone else feel extremely annoyed when things are even slightly imperfect?
Specifically about technology, like are bugs on your device's OS, a program, app or game having issues, or a website/platform....
I see lots of talk about Memmy, but what are some Android compatible apps for Lemmy?
I've just joined Lemmy and I need something to fill that RIF shaped hole.
What movie did you rewatch most often?
For me, it’s either the Matrix or Pulp Fiction. I have seen both a lot of times but certainly not more often than say a dozen times.
Do Japanese toilets live up to the hype?
Not having to use toilet paper sounds pretty convenient.
What communities ("subreddits") would you like to see?
Is there anything you’d like to talk about or share but haven’t found a place to do so? What communities (or “subreddits” for all Reddit refugees) would you like to see?...
What's your favorite third-party app that integrates beautifully design-wise with your native iOS/Android apps?
I greatly respect when an app developer takes the care to design their app to follow their OS Human Interface Guidelines. Apps like Apollo (and wefwef/Voyager for Lemmy) for example rose to popularity partly due to looking and feeling like native iOS apps...
what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?
mine was snafu on intellivision. i think i liked it because it reminded me of the light cycles from tron.
