Weird! Can you go into the settings & root around to see where the “participate in Mozilla studies” thing is? That might be what’s doing it

What is your update method? Are you perhaps bouncing back and forth between a beta and a stable release from two different update sources? Happened to me when I forgot some settings in Fdroid after I switched to mostly Obtainium. Also Ironfox hasn’t got this issue but it also doesn’t have tab groups afaik

You can always store stuff on public datacenters for reliability in encrypted form. This also lets you break up the ZIP files into whatever size is most optimal for the connection & whatever they do with it. This might be easier for your family members to unlock since they don’t have to deal with extricating shit from storage devices. You can teach them how to unlock the ZIP files with your password while you’re still alive and shit

Lmao this casts even more doubt on their security incident a while back. Thanks for sharing all this stuff, I do look over it

I guess it’s like telling someone they seem to be coming down with a cold, they probably already know

didn’t even test

Into the trash it goes

Your post here reads like AI funnily enough

Eh try Kimi

Are you sure you were using the actual coding model? There are a number of them

IDK maybe I misunderstood you & took it for saying Bookwyrm can replace Goodreads, which is more like online BarneSS and Noble. We probably have similar ideas about how to use it.

Well maybe once there is a truly giant instance set up, but I think it would be better to curate considering the state of publishing lmao? 95% of new books = slop

Sure but think of those as subsections within a small bookstore. You could make them curated lists of fiction subgenres, or explorations of specific historical periods or authors. I think the detail & specificity gives it an edge over just browsing Goodreads with https://libredirect.io/ or Internet Archive or Anna’s etcetera

Use the same logic we do for the rest of the fediverse. You’re not making “the world’s bookstore” you’re making a collection of books that can’t be found elsewhere. I think it can be useful for people with particular literary or historical tastes

It’s Gunther Fehlinger it has to be there, the lore will gobsmack you. Might kill you

Peace and love among all progressives ❤️‍🩹

It’s pretty inconsistent, depends on what the people running the site are doing. Seems like the Palestine comm and other stuff that is really consistently popular on both sides for years is what works reliably. Plus it depends on Mastodon fork. Misskey would have no problem federating with Lemmy if not for one tiny bug, but the forks like Sharkey and Iceshrimp already solved that. It’s just that nobody except for me and like 37 other people know they exist.

You mentioned K/Mbin and I honestly find it a bit distasteful, as representing what should really be the same kind of post-reply format (the retweet accounts represent comms or rss feeds etc perfectly, I even use them for scraping imageboards and Telegram, these sites may have different UI but they’re almost the same format) in a whole separate thing just feels really clunky and the magazines are weird—sorry if that makes you mad because it really fits your workflow. Wish there was just more basic consistency between the platforms since users could share information regardless of whether they have Twitter or Reddit brain 😁

Mainly I wish stuff like a.gup .pe worked better *lmao this already shut down nevermind RIP it was basically a platform-agnostic way to create groups similar to lemmy’s communities, and they appeared on here that way

Ah thx right right I forgot how it’s all laid out now exactly, it really is a similar way of handling feedback + contributions though. I’ve taken some space from those discussions since they straight up wormhole me back to a bad emotional place 🤣 I wasted so much effort on Mozilla as a kid, it was like a direct transition from video game forums + modding

Hey write this up for them, it’s constructive, I have zero leverage over them & I agree with you that redesign time could be better spent on other stuff (although it’s not as if one dev is necessarily better off reskilling and reorienting for it & this may not cost as much momentum as it appears), it’s overall an issue of the browser being under siege.

I probably went too far in framing misconstructed feedback as the primary culprit when the important issue is how they process it + contributions.

Downvoted for having fun and playing im showing my wife this

That’s nice for them, but I’m using good software now
