Probably my favorite realization in life was that I might be wrong. Always, no matter how confident, we are all wrong sometimes. Even about the most basic facts, we could be wrong because brains are weird. So, I just try and minimize that while recognizing it.

I respect your view. A few weeks back I was complaining that I hated reading the Dune series. I enjoy the story and having read it, but I really hate reading it. Somebody told me they felt the same way but about the Dark Tower. Different strokes and all that, but I loved every moment of the whole series including how the tone changed after his accident.

I also think of The Ultimate Showdown too when I see this.

I had forgotten about Macromedia. I liked Dreamweaver before Adobe got its hands on it.

I absolutely loved the entire series. I miss Eddie and Susannah, and I want to reread it again now.

Ah the ol’ defenestration uninstallation.

Seems currently up for me, but it is on vercel and I have seen it down a few times.

My hopes are high but I’m trying to keep my expectations low. Just one guy and some contributors is a much different context than a bunch of venture capital. But I agree.

[-] theherk@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

It does indeed. There is a button in the top left for it by default.

Definitely as already answered, but I'll also add they have a "theme store" which is kind of a bespoke userChrome.css tool. It isn't just themes, but it is in addition to, not in lieu of Firefox extensions.

[-] theherk@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

The profile switching is just that of Firefox, but with a button that makes it a bit more accessible. And there is the concept of workspaces within a given profile, but I haven't quite figured out how to set it up best for my workflow yet.

This has gotten some attention, especially about a week ago, but I really hope more people will continue to try it and, if interested, support it. It is Firefox, but heavily modified to please a different audience that prefers a slightly different UI than Firefox. It has some of the appeal of Arc, Vivaldi, and the Sidebery extension.

In my view, it is very promising, and all competition in this space is good. Here it is on Github, also.

I am especially interested in the initial migrations into the Americas 15,000+ years ago, but our community is small and my interests large, so... any great documentaries are welcome.

Please, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, allow us to disable this chapter skipping feature (the one where tapping left or right to bring up the scrubber, then double tapping the other direction because 100% of people want to skip that direction some unit time - 10 seconds by default). This ends up feeling random and is just vexing.

It is the worst feature added to any software, maybe ever in the history of computing. How many hours are wasted trying to figure out where one was in this video? How much power and network bandwidth is consumed fighting this feature that I’ve not seen a single comment online of anybody benefitting from ever.

This feature is adding to human suffering by wasting energy and damaging people psychologically. Go please, look online, and consider castigating the creator of this feature in the public square. And then take a good hard look at yourself for not stopping this evil from ever being added in the first place.

Yours aye, Sane People

There are currently several applications available for iOS to access Lemmy instances. Each of which has its own benefits and drawbacks. I love Voyager (or wefwef as I still like to call it), but even the installed app is I believe just a repackaged PWA. So I’ve been looking at alternatives that vary from PWA to native Swift implementations. The list I’ve checked out so far are.

  • Avelon
  • Bean
  • Mlem
  • Memmy
  • Voyager / vger.app

I know Lemma is forthcoming, also.

I’m wondering what others current preferences are including values like price, license, governance, and features.

It feels to me like the days before Apollo arose where there were many great Reddit apps, but none that stood head and shoulders above the rest. Does anybody feel there is an app shining to that degree yet as Apollo did once it hit the scene?
