Ok, thanks to tips I’ve installed both summit and thunder. I like both, but they feel both a tad different.
Both will stay and be tested. Thanks for the tips and I’ll continue testing and see what will be my main reader/posting app.
Liftoff alternative
Ok, I admit, I’ve been lazy and kept using liftoff until the last moment, but that is coming soon with lemmy.world moving to 0.19.x soon. I totally like how liftoff feels, very lifghtweigth and dark, so looking for a replacement that can manage multiple accounts, has a dark mode, runs in landscape and isn’t to big. Any tips?
Best/usable free Evernote alternative
Ok, Evernote committed hara-kiri, so time to move on. (no way I’ll pay for ransomware) Any tips for good alternatives? Also, my wife has about 15k of recepies in evernote, is there an option to export them all and recover them? (if not, whe knows most by heart and where she found them) We both run Linux, but I haven’t foudn an evernote application that is still maintained for Linux. (I have a Windows VM somewhere to battle shenanigans like this)
Hmmm, I think I can add ‘buy a guitar stand’ to the list as well, or at least one that’s to small, full.
from left to right:
At least no chance for gas guy to sell me more.
What do you consider your bad decisions when starting?
At the moment I’ve dusted off a guitar and a bass I bought close to 20 years ago, an Ibanez EDB300 bass guitar Ibanez [https://jan.huijsmans.nu/gif/Instrumenten/Gitaar/Ibanez-EDB400/small/Ibanez-EDB400.2023-06-23.000.jpg] and my FrankenFender FrankenFender [https://jan.huijsmans.nu/gif/Instrumenten/Gitaar/Fender-Musicmaster/small/Fender-Musicmaster.2023-06-24.000.jpg] a modified/mutilated Fender MusicMaster. Without more experience then just messing about with a bad accoustic I thought those weren’t to bright purchases, but at least I had a chance on getting to learn to play them, although I just started last month. (after fixing the FrankenFender, the added pickup is dead) When shopping for some useful additions (tuner, neckband, stand) I however found the Fazley FMB218NT fretless [https://static.bax-shop.nl/image/product/781803/3501326/1266936c/164941077020220407-Fazley%20FMV218NT-FL_1.jpg] at a very low cost, so I just added it to the basket before checking out. I think for now, buying a fretless bass tops it (for now), although I hope it manages to force me to concentrate more on the left hand. I guess I’m not the only one that was a tad to enthusiastic when starting, what do you all consider as your (initially) bad decisions and how did they turn out?
RF433 - E27 socket adapter, available for Europe ?
Hi, Now I’ve automated mt lamps that can work via the socket with kaku [https://klikaanklikuit.nl] units (old and new type mixed) and domoticz with rflink unit, I’m looking to add the light in the hall in the same, easy plug’n’play method. However, kaku only has units you have to build into the circuit instead of just place them between the E27 fitting and the lightbulb. Is something like this bukeer unit available for Europe and would it work with domoticz and the rflink (rf433)?
Why would you use a virtual assistant?
As most of the Lemmy users are security/privacy minded, after a question about alternative voices I’m wondering. Why would you allow a virtual assistance to spy on you constantly? (Especially when you don’t need to due to other limitations) And as a side note, is there a way to kill Siri completely on IOS (not just go trough all app settings and disable siri there)? (company phone, so alas not jail broken, Android is rooted and GA has been removed, as is the Google app itself)
Ok, I found how I can influence which instance is opened by default. At the inbox (bel, top left), you can select an account. The instance of that account will be the default which gets opened when entering the app.
So there is a way, but it could be more intuitive.
See subscribers in community as mod
[Feature request] - Configurable opening instance
At the moment you can select which list to open, subscribed, local or all. However, when you have multiple accounts, you can’t pick on which server. I have accounts on lemmy.world, lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] and lemmy.studio configured in that order and selected subscribed as prefered community list. With lemmy.world as top instance in the list I’d expected that to be the 1st to open. However, it’s [email protected] [[email protected]] that’s opened at the start. I’m guessing that’s due to alphabetical ordering. I think it would be useful to be able to select the instance as well as community list. This either by selecting it or ordering the instance list (start with the top one)
