Discord is VERY different from link/thread aggregators/forums such as Reddit and Lemmy. I just don't understand subreddits that move to Discord.

/r/buildapcsales/ has an official Discord server now, and it just sucks compared to Reddit's format.

Also, Discord doesn't show up in search results for if people are trying to find an answer for something. And the search in the Discord servers sucks for this kind of thing as well.

Elaborating on /r/buildapcsales specifically with earlier comment:

Using the search in the subreddit lets you see what the price is usually on sale at, and around what time of year. Sometimes the current sale isn’t worth buying. People would comment in the threads mentioning that.

You can also read everyone’s comments on that specific product in either the current thread or the old ones to see if it’s worth buying or not for yourself.

Do note that a lot of these have 30-100 comments that are helpful for users to read.

Started? Been having that issue for months now. It only works on VPN if you're logged on.

Certain VPN servers can go through it they haven't implemented a block for it yet. AirVPN launched some new servers that worked for a bit, but Reddit blocked them a few weeks later.

I really don't understand why schools have this rule (at least in many places in the US). Are they trying to teach you to not practice self defense and just let it happen? Doesn't sound like a great thing to teach.

I wish there were more non-gendered restrooms.

The one's I've been to usually has shared sinks and has stalls that fully enclosed, as in you can't look under the stall. Most restrooms in the US, you can see under the stall in front and from an adjacent stall.

And the urinals is usually in a separate area of the restrooms.

No issues with:

• Firefox+ uBlock Origin (PC)
• Freetube (PC)
• NewPipe (Android)
• SmartTube (Android/Google TV)

"Think of the children" is such a dumb excuse that people keep using in the US to pass laws that restricts citizens and are anti-privacy.

It's a conspiracy theory regarding the internet being mainly bots

Defrosting my windows so that I can actually see to drive

Also, connecting my phone via bluetooth to play music or podcasts

Ever since the Reddit exodus, so many people joined Lemmy who just assumes everyone lives in the US.

"My rent is only $----/mo". In what currency? A lot of countries use $.

I noticed that sometimes comments asking "What currency?" or "What country?" gets downvoted even though the original post / comment isn't obvious that they are talking specifically about US :(

And on that note, I condemn in the harshest terms the response from communities like /r/linux on the subject. The vile harassment and hate directed at the FDO officer in question is obscene and completely unjustifiable. I don’t care what window manager or desktop environment you use – this kind of behavior is completely uncalled for. I expect better.

Oh wow. That community is just hateful

Isn't this a separate package not part of the Linux kernel? I don't see why Linus would have to get involved.

I love RSS.

I run FreshRSS as my server via docker and connect to it via Read You on Android and NewsFlash on Linux

I also run RSS-Bridge in docker. It has been really useful as it can generate RSS feeds for many websites that don't natively have them.

They get the traffic data from some third party, not by following their users like gmaps.

Do you share data with third parties?

We send position data to our traffic provider to generate real-time traffic information. The data is anonymized on the phone, using a changing key (so it's not linked to you), and it is deleted after 5 minutes.

They have a good privacy policy though. I haven't really had many issues with their app.

Guess that depends on where you live

If you want a comparison for at my current company:

Insurance through what my union negotiated with my company is about $90/mo for dental/vision/medical. $200 annual deductible on medical.

Insurance from my company if I had a non-union position here is $300-400/mo. $1000 annual deductible on medical

This is for a single person btw.

There is also ddns-updater which I like to use in docker

Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection

It's available on Linux, Windows, Android, iOS, and the web.

I play them on my phone to pass time.

You can use:

Revanced

• https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager
• https://revanced.app/

This patches the official YouTube app with a lot of different options including removing those ads.

NewPipe

• https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe
• https://newpipe.net/
• https://f-droid.org/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/

This scrapes the website, and is my preferred YouTube app. You cannot log into an account though, which isn't an issue for me. You can also import/export your subscriptions. They are still working on getting comment replies into the app though.

LibreTube

• https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube
• https://f-droid.org/...

This uses Piped API, and you can choose with instances you want to use. This has comment replies in the app.

You can check this compilation of Lemmy apps.

I personally prefer Jerboa and Thunder. I think I like Jerboa more currently. Neither are perfect. Missing some features, missing more customization, and has bugs here and there. They are getting better and better though!

I am waiting to see if the Slide fork really happens as I used to love that for Reddit before it got abandoned.
