What a terrible app to clone…

The author of this excellent article mentioned that we and by extension, our friends, all hate being on TwiXter etc. but cant figure out a day to leave or place to go. While I believe the ‘place’ should be figured out amongst yourselves and there are many excellent options getting better by the day, I will do the hard thing and choose a time to make it easier for you/us…

Please be sure to have you destination decided ahead of time. Just like voting, I suggest you do it early and feel free to be a part of the advance team that straddles between the new location while still using the former ahead of the 28th.

I believe in you and know you can do it. Tell your friends. …and you’re welcome :)

edit: RSS is a great tool that will make the move easier

Nice

Does anyone have any good alternatives to my hometown, due to all the problems my hometown has? I dont want to get involved and help with my hometown, just stand in the town square and ask where a better town is. Oh, and don’t suggest the neighboring towns either.

Bezels…?

Auto correct is dumb

Howdy. Great App!

I appreciate that Thunder has a “Tablet Mode” so i can run two stacks of tiles to navigate Lemmy. My daily driver is a zFold 4 and because of the aspect ratio when open, single tile feeds aren’t as good.

Unfortunately, as of the new update, the thumbnail views of the pictures associated with the posts are often squeezed or stretched. The tile isn’t respecting the picture’s ratio when building the tile. It’s certainly a QoL thing, but it would be cool if it was corrected.

Thank you for all your hard work. The app is really solid.

Ahhh. That is good to know. Well, my most down-voted post will at least have taught me something. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Huh, when i started in on Lemmy it seemed that emptying overgrown caches was the first step in troubleshooting app woes. Have they gotten to a place where this isn’t the case? Was i misinformed? Thunder seems to be more snappy now that i cleared it.

You’re one of the smart ones then. This message is for the rest of us

Fair enough. It was meant to be more, "hey everyone, I’m an idiot and thought my app was misbehaving then remembered that i needed to clear the cache. After deleting 3 and a half gigs it’s working very well again. The bit about regularly scheduled programming was probably more projection than anything else. :) Sorry if i came off sounding like a prick, if you heard me say it out loud, it would have been dripping with self depreciation. edit for spelling

… Is technology the wrong channel for cache-clear messages, are we not reminding to clear cache anymore, or is my tone being misinterpreted…? Truely interested

In the future, when this is wildly successful, please develop a plugin for my smart watch so i don’t have too keep my phone in my pocket. /stuffthatsnotrelevantnow

… Realest comment so far

I don’t know… Sounds like I’d have to trust another extension to do the user agent stuff in the background… I’m sure that’s a solid solution for a lot of use cases, but i might just keep my method for now.

How do you mean?

That’s pretty neat… I’ll look in to it. Than you for the info.

Good advice, but for how i have my workflow set up, it makes more sense for me to have it set on full amnesia. Vivaldi is what i use if i need persistence.

Tracking mostly. If i need to visit a site that i want to know the absolute minimum about me or my accounts, i use Firefox. Vivaldi is secured well, but I’m logged in to various accounts for convenience there. I have a 3 monitor set up so it’s easy to just have it open on a separate screen.

Daily Driver - Vivaldi with any applicable EFF plugins and custom settings aimed at security and privacy.

2nd Daily Driver (usually on a separate screen) - Firefox configured with any applicable EFF plugins and settings put at the most restrictive and forgetful to facilitate privacy and security.

Mobile - Literally the same as above to the extent i have the ability to ^^
