It’s even a magnetized philips driver. The Rambler is great and actually worth it’s price imho!

I used to use this extension a while back, seems to have been forked and Ihaven\t tried it lately but it did it\s thing back when I used it.

Same! I miss being able to use it for swipe actions like I could on my note 9 a few years ago too…

Oh… now this is interesting!

For me it’s mainly a nice backup for when the Xbox or TV is occupied by someone else. I don’t think I’d use it as my prime source of gaming. It works but it’s not quite as good as the actual playing on your own hardware.

Saw that, isn’t it strange to never have seen that from any other app then?

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

Everyone seemed to hype it up as the best sci fi ever so it might just have been the hype that did it.

I thought it was a decent book but nothing really special. It just wasn’t all that interesting to me. It didn’t make me want to read the sequels.

A High Priority for Moving Away from Lemmy

Several months ago Beehaw received a report about CSAM (i.e. Child Sexual Abuse Material). As an admin, I had to investigate this in order to verify and take the next steps. This was the first time in my life that I had ever seen images such as these. Not to go into great detail, but the images were of a very young child...

Sorry to hear that mate! That’s one of the biggest reasons I’ve never wanted to move towards IT forensics even though I think I’d enjoy the actual work. But having to regularly sift through the absolute worst humanity has to offer sounds awful.

Hope the immediate pain of it settles as soon as possible!

This might not be what people want but since beehaw is going to leave Lemmy anyway, couldn’t you just completely defederate and run as an isolated instance? Then you’d have control of what her life gets published without having to deal with federated nastiness?

Yeah, turning off images wouldn’t be too bad either. If people want to post inages you can just as easily upload them somewhere else and link them.

I don’t really know. Too many for me to bother counting them but probably in the high hundreds. In our living room we’ve got four or five meters worth of book shelves that are completely filled up and the overflow has started piling up in other rooms.

So at least a bunch :)

Really looking forward to this… been itching for a new playthrough for quite some time now but saving it for the traverse day.

Beehaw on Lemmy: The long-term conundrum of staying here

Yesterday, you probably saw this informal post by one of our head admins (Chris Remington). This post lamented some of the difficulties we’re running into with the site at this point, and what the future might hold for us. This is a more formal post about those difficulties and the way we currently see things....

I’d rather not see Beehaw split from Lemmy but if you feel you have to then I for one wouldn’t mind seeing it using a phpbb board.

Glory to the old forums! /old grumpy mode

I know I’ve ended up more of a lurker lately. That’s not due to any particular ill feelings about beehaw or lemmy at large though. I think I just entered a bit more passive, consuming phase. Maybe falling back a bit to the old reddit habits? Mostly browsing for interesting new things.

Anyway.

This is probably due to me discovering Beehaw and Lemmy at the same time, but for me they’re probably a lot more connected than I’m guessing they are for you old timers.

For me it’s like… the cozy corner of Lemmy you know? My home base while venturing out to other instances’ communities. I’m definitely most likely to actually post or comment around here just because I like it here (though not exclusively however).

So… now this place will most likely go dark in a while. What then?

This won’t and can’t be my home base by then and that’s making me feel like… should I start looking for a new home already?

Anything I produce with this account will either go go away or at least be locked down. Nor sure what happens to the federated copies of comments and posts on other communities when an instance shuts down.

So… I don’t know. It’s starting to feel a bit like this account is nearing its end of life which makes it feel a bit odd to be actively using it.

A bit like chalk on the sidewalk while watching rain clouds come rolling in.

I… don’t know what my point is really.

I guess it feels a bit like it’s time to start cultivating a new account, mirror my subscriptions and start using that instead, even for posting here. I don’t know.

Anyone else feel something similar?

Looks pretty nice tbh! Probably going to stick to my current phone a few more years until it stops being updated but if I manage to break it this might just be the replacement.

[solved] Any multiline zsh compatible shells? [zsh config]

Some time ago I found xonsh which is a python-based shell. It had really good multiline support, and I am searching for a shell with sameish multiline support as xonsh. Fish shell also has good multiline support, it is around the same level, but it is not posix compatible. I want a shell that has that kind of level of multiline,...

Some tweaks to zsh maybe?

I’ve spent ages on phpBB and I do kind of miss out to be honest.

It might just be nostalgia talking though because I can’t really say exactly what I’m missing about it.

Might just be the old communities that used it.

Midnight commander is a pretty nice alternative!

That sounded scary at first!

You guys are doing great, all of you!

And yeah, that was a risky move, a good one in hindsight, but still has to be scary?

Very nice!

I’ve had similar feelings towards Lemmy as a whole lately too. Maybe I need to play a bit with my sorting settings but it’s starting to feel like the vast majority of posts on all my subscribed communities are linked posts without any extra info added.

Sure the titles themselves might be self explanatory but I’d expect the poster to actually also write something about the link they’ve posted. What did they think about it, what do they want to discuss about it.

Is just feels… hollow? When you see link after link with not even an effort towards discussion from the poster.

It’s starting to feel like I’m using an RSS reader.

Not sure what too do about it though. Require more text to be written for each link post? That might just end up with some copy pasting I suppose but it might be worth a shot?

nlm,
@nlm@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah I wouldn’t need a novel either but just a link and nothing else feels… boring?

nlm,
@nlm@beehaw.org avatar

I guess… i just wish it was more than mostly a link aggregator though.

Got to love the fact that you have credits for all posts so far!

Sorry to hear you’re having a rough time!

My week’s been good. Finally started my four week vacation time. Feels so good, though we don’t seem to be getting any of that heat that the rest of the world is suffering under. It’s been somewhat chilly and absolutely pouring outside almost 24/7 for a while now.

Wish it could be at least dry and somewhat warm. Still so nice to be off work though!
