yeah i know, sorry about that :P i was using boost to post this and didn't know it would automatically host it using imgur

any recommendations for alternatives these days? i would've gone for something like catbox.moe or 0x0.st but I think those delete uploads after a certain amount of time

+1 for RSS but it doesn't really replace the comments. granted on reddit the quality of discussion has for sure declined and lemmy is still a little dead sometimes. but it still provides value (to me)

someone should build a distributed comment system that works with plain old RSS feeds

mpv has an integration with ytdl (and forks), which should let you just open the url and stream it directly

nice. i didn't know about the lemmy equivalents of mtv!

do you know why i can't subscribe to the community on lemmy.world?

systemd is great, but being disingenious isn't helping anyone:

chrony -> sd-timesyncd [...] one less daemon

just because it ships with systemd doesn't mean it magically runs without it's own process

what's the app? looks like it could be discord? running in flatpak? do you find the emoji font with fc-list | grep emoji? do other apps show emoji?

couldn't agree with you more. it can't be that hard to give us an opt-out of podcasts altogether. there's been an item for that on their feature request forum for as long as podcasts in spotify are a thing

they just don't want to

you can configure mako to not show notifications and it will keep a history of them as well. not to discredit your project but makes me wonder if something like this can be built with some bash scripting :)

hemingway's debut the sun also rises, i went in blind and didn't expect it to be about bull fighting. i enjoyed the vibe of the 1920s travel through spain and france, the aimless plot and the character interactions.

i learned that bullfighting is terrible and cringed at the casual anti-semitism all over the book

unless we're talking about my main machine, which runs gentoo, i'll always default to alpine. super solid base system and packages. super accessible when it comes to upstreaming packages. I only wish they had s6 as an option for init/service manager

managed to shift my idle browsing here. though i was kind of weening off reddit slowly over the past years. with lemmy exploding it has brought back some of that feeling of exploring and looking for communities i was missing on reddit haha

sadly nebula.tv sends you to reddit for comments on their exclusives, that is one holdover that is also unlikely to go away...
