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.

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

I hate the heat, and especially sweating when I’m not specifically exercising. The other day it was 43C / 110F, and it’s miserable. 😭

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.

Mine only had about 2,500 karma, and only five years old, but I deleted it, and now I’m here on Lemmy!

👍 Can the keyboard fit in your pocket?

Interesting. I must just not have had that much content then. I went through all the tabs on my profile, and all of them showed ‘no content’ after running PDS.

Hello fellow Colemak user! :D

I used this tool to comment over all my old posts with a message about the protest, and then go through and delete everything. The export part was kind of janky, since it just spat out a weirdly formatted CSV file, but it did what I needed it to.

After it was done, I deleted my account! :D

Yeah, I’m on the lemmy.world instance, but I was planning on doing something like that. I’ve heard that some bots have been going around deleting posts that mention Lemmy / the Fediverse though, so I guess we’ll see how it goes. :)

I do not cross picket lines. Later this week, once the protest is officially over, I plan on going on Reddit, backing up my data using the PowerDeleteSuite another user posted about, and then overwriting and deleting my comments and posts with a message about the protest, before closing my account entirely.

Lemmy has already grown a nice community of people, and I’ll be glad to contribute and watch it grow over time!

I feel this. I got a promotion at work, and I had to send them a picture to include with the company-wide announcement, and it was such a pain to take a picture that didn’t look weird or creepy. Funny enough, the first one that I took ended up being the best out of the 15 that I took…

I’ve got Lemmy, a glitchy beta iOS app to view it with and I’m rollin’ with it. It’ll get better in the coming weeks and months.

I work in IT, and I don’t have any ‘smart’ things at home. I don’t want to come home and troubleshoot more dumb junk.

I don’t even have a smart watch. My watch tells the time, has a timer, etc and that’s all I need.
