Sir_Kevin , to nostupidquestions in How do you post Gifs?
@Sir_Kevin@lemmy.world avatar

The GIF file format needs to die. I’m glad lemmy doesn’t support it out of the box. That shit was designed for animated images with a few frames and nothing more.

kd637_mi , to gaming in What game do you think came closest to being "perfect"?

A big one for me is Fallout 1. I only played it for the first time a few years ago and it is one of the only games where as soon as I finished it I wanted to start it again. The only reason I didn’t was to play Fallout 2. There is an extremely valid argument that Fallout 2 is better, but the pacing of 1 is so good. It opened up a whole (niche) genre of games I thought I didn’t like, isometric crpgs, especially ones with turn based combat, relatively low player power, and serious consequences.

The other game I could replay over and over again was Metal Gear Solid 1. In my opinion it is the best in the series relative to its time of release, if that makes sense.

Also obviously Halo CE.

KilgoreTheTrout , to android in Android's devices without Google services, you can use it?

Might be helpful if you have more than one phone so if the learning curve ends up screwing you up you still have some kind of functional phone to use in the interim

MalReynolds , to technology in Would you buy a new battery for a very old laptop?
@MalReynolds@slrpnk.net avatar

You don’t buy a genuine battery, they are indeed too old. There are third party manufacturers making new batteries for old thinkpads, kingsener and greencell are two. I have kingsener in my homelab X230(Arch) and T440p(NixOS/Silverblue) and am very happy, basically better than new(more recent battery tech).

KilgoreTheTrout , to android in Android's devices without Google services, you can use it?

It can be done, there are some challenges of course and some improvements and some downsides.

It’s worth trying if you’re interested.

KilgoreTheTrout , to android in One thing that has made me reluctant to purchase apps is finding some of them delisted in my own account down the road

Yeah I’ve noticed that I can no longer add floating bar for LG v30. I can use it on phones where it’s already downloaded but I can no longer add it to any new phones and if I delete it I can never use it again.

Which is strange cuz it’s still completely functional

aluminium ,

Odd, it still works for me on all my LG phones including the V30. Did you reset your phones recently?

KilgoreTheTrout , to android in One thing that has made me reluctant to purchase apps is finding some of them delisted in my own account down the road

Yeah I’ve had this problem with video games in the era of live service. I bought this game memory from Mars, I never really played it and when I finally went back to play it it was completely dead.

KilgoreTheTrout , to android in What's your email client of choice?

I have recently pivoted to proton…

gribse , to selfhosted in is nextcloud still the best to host a small amount of files that need to be accessible anywhere and backed up? and carddav caldav

There is a bunch of ways to do that, I’d say nextcloud is good if you want to have a multi-device system with syncing and convenience tools

WigglingWalrus ,

Yup, agree with this. I personally use Nextcloud but there are lighter solutions just for file hosting/syncing.

stagen , to nostupidquestions in Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?
@stagen@feddit.dk avatar

I didn't become an avid poster until I started using wefwef.app - it's a great implementation and I use it even on my desktop (in a mobile-sized window).

lunicoDee , to linux in what is the best privacy distro?

The best for privacy are: Tails, that runs on live-cd; Whonix, which you run in vms; Qubes, which is an os that runs all your user programs inside vms (running whonix inside qubes is the most powerful privacy setup).

sheepyowl , to youshouldknow in YSK: If you want faster and less buggy User experience, move to a smaller instance that is hosted close to you.

You still need an extra acc onthebig ones if you want to usethe apps though. Not all instances are supported.

Mythril ,

? On all Lemmy apps I’ve used, you can just type the URL for the Lemmy instance your account is on, even if it’s not on the “default” list.

omgnvq ,

Which app have you been struggling with? Both Jerboa and Connect worked fine with different servers for me, I’m guessing others are fine too

Mihuy , to nostupidquestions in How did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?

I switched to this instance, because lemmy.ml was just too laggy. Also I use mastodon.world so I knew it’s a good instance.

Fractalfarmer , to ukcasual in Aldi! What are you playing at????
@Fractalfarmer@reddthat.com avatar

If you’ve still got an old bottle in your recycling, keep one of each colour cap.

Codandchips OP ,
@Codandchips@lemmy.world avatar

That’s a good shout.

See, at half four this morning I had to concentrate and actively make a decision on what one to grab. It’s too early for that shit…

Fractalfarmer ,
@Fractalfarmer@reddthat.com avatar

I totally agree. I can’t be trusted to make a decent cuppa until I’ve had at least two cuppas. It’s a problem.

Gormadt , to technology in Would you buy a new battery for a very old laptop?
@Gormadt@beehaw.org avatar

Depending on price I might go for it

I did spend like $40 on a battery for a 10 year old laptop a few years ago so that I could keep using it for troubleshooting a remote network I setup up awhile ago because it’s cheaper than a new laptop.

Personally I’d see if you can find a new compatible battery not necessarily an OEM battery though as being new it’s probably going to last awhile.

Mummelpuffin OP ,
@Mummelpuffin@beehaw.org avatar

How would you know if it’s actually new, though? I’d assume even third-party replacements have been sitting on a shelf for years.
It’s really just making me think that laptops are terrifyingly wasteful and I’ve been right to not bother owning one.
