I keep hearing about people switching, but is it just registering a new account at another instance? I joined world but would gladly jump instances to something more stable.

In the process of deGoogling, but the phone is something that I'm saving for another year or three. My 6 Pro is doing just fine.

Slowly transitioning myself into more FOSS and self hosting. Linux is tough because I'm fairly dependent on software that, to the best of my knowledge, wouldn't work on it. Dual booting doesn't sound fun

Lemmy instance for me as well. I have a specific community I miss from reddit that I want to replicate, I even have a domain sitting around that'd be good...I just don't want to store data coming from complete strangers. I also have zero interest in any sort of admin/moderating. So I'll just go without it and get over it lol

(Midjourney, obvi)

Would love to own, but they're so expensive 😔 maybe someday

They are defederating /c/fediverse/comments/2475933 (sorry, on mobile and don't know how to effectively format the link atm)

Idk Hisense recently updated their TVs and it's been fucking with my Shields pretty bad. Going to try downgrading to the oldest, dumbest OS the TV will allow and keeping it disconnected from the internet. Still love the Shield

I tested all of the top options listed on the FOSS photo galleries list. I settled on Immich, and so as of earlier today I currently have everything from GPhotos in Immich, with my phone backing up to both while I get my off-site backup set up. Immich has two drawbacks I consider minor enough for it to come out ahead, but major enough for it to still fall short of truly competing with GP. First, you can jnky select multiple things by tapping them one by one. No tap, hold, drag on mobile. No shift clicking on PC. Next, they have pretty good face recognition, but you can't...do anything with it? You can't set albums to auto add certain faces. You can't assign those people to contacts and auto share with them.

I've been using a small Paperwhite one for awhile, no issues.

Same. I firmly think if Tildes had opened up more, it would have risen fast as a viable reddit alternative. That ship has likely sailed, but it's aiight cus it's still got great communities.

Dog breeders HATE this one simple trick!

I love just about everything Joel makes, but something about this one just elevates it to another level. I've watched it probably a dozen times. Such a strange, thoughtful video.

When I add it via Firefox, it just opens FF, and I end up with a dozen wefwef tabs. I can't get it to 'install' as a web app.

Got a lifetime key for Enpass something like a decade ago and it's been as good as I could ever need. I still rely heavily on autofill via Android & Firefox, but I treat Enpass as the backup to the backup, the one with every last password. I'm meticulous about updating it with every account, every updated password, etc. I also manage all of my wife's passwords as a separate vault.

For real! Finding a new sub and putting it to the All Time test was always a treat.

Windows 11, but I always liked the idea of ditching it for Linux. I could make it work for gaming and casual use, but unfortunately I'm locked in by proprietary software for work (Adobe & Autodesk). A dual boot or VM seems like an unnecessary hurdle to add to my workflow. So in the meantime, I am taking baby steps to de-Google and de-MS.

Ah, heard. So then once I get my shit together the trick then becomes weaseling my way into a private tracker and maintaining that sweet sweet ratio. Thank you!

In the process of setting up a media server using Unraid instead of just a HDD in my main PC. Seems like seeding regularly may become more viable - is the trick to just stay hooked up to a VPN continuously?

Yeah that does make sense now that you've laid it out, but at the same time I couldn't care less about seeing the instance info once I'm subbed to something. Even showing my profile as being @lemmy.world is just cumbersome, lame looking, and ultimately unnecssary for so many users. Could be a useful sorting tool for sure, but it would be cleaner to have the option to hide them altogether, y'know? I'm excited to see what all of the devs do with this new platform!

Such a mess of a URL. I sincerely hope something else comes up to surpass Lemmy/kbin, or that the apps in development hide those kinds of messy bits.

Yep! Liftoff is the choice until Sync comes out! It does the trick.
