It definitely is. First two episodes are a bit rough. But then you’ll see some wonderful Star Trek unfold.
They remotely installed a Mr Robot addon (US only), because they thought their user base also liked the show. It was a puzzle/game or something, an unpaid promotion.
Actually, the mobile browser had a major overhaul a few years ago. I had switched to mobile Firefox just a few months before the new version and performance has vastly improved. Usability is okay (sometimes I wonder if these folks use their own software). But otherwise not much has changed since then.
Interesting article, that’s exactly what I’ve been thinking about Firefox for many many years now. I hate anything that makes Firefox look and behave like Chrome. And I do everything just to revert these looks and changes.
Will there be an extension that restores the old Firefox reopen tab feature?

That’s good to see. :) What’s a good and reliable brand/model to look out for? I don’t trust many of those unknown (to me at least) manufacturers with the cheapest prices.
Lemmy.world is just the (only) pre-configured Lemmy instance. But you can add more yourself, e. g. your home instance where your main account lives.
You can add more instances, but don’t have need to sign up on each. Now the cool thing, that makes LiftOff special. You can switch to one of those instances and browse them to view only their local communities or all that are available on that instance. You don’t need an account for this, but you can’t vote or reply directly. However, Liftoff offers to switch to the copy of the same post/comment you’re viewing, that lives on your home instance, where you’re signed up, so you can vote or reply.
You could (but don’t have to) sign up on these other instances. Usually you pick an instance you like most to sign up, then browse the copies (= federation) of other instances that are on your home instances.
But LiftOff allows you to easily browse other instances directly (no copies), like some travel mode. Sign up on these other instances and you have a holiday home there. By this you can e. g. keep your personas separate from each other.
The switch feature is also very handy if you simply want to browse an instance that’s defederated (= no copies of posts/comments are shared) from your home instance.
Slide feels like coming home! When it slowly died, I tried ALL available apps for Reddit. First all open source, then free apps from the playstore. Only Joey was similar to Slide and had the same unique gallery mode (it’s even better because it’s remember the position of the last post shown).
So I’m happy and excited to see Slide coming back for Lemmy. Gallery mode is currently crashing the app, but I’m sure it’ll be working soon. 😊
I miss /r/opensuse and an active Java community. There are a few Java communities on several servers, but they are all basically dead.
Those guys are a little late to the parade.
Did reformat the drive recently to ext4? there’s a background process running that’s doing deferred stuff which keeps the drive busy. try to unmount the drive to ensure it’s idle.
Checkout smartctl. You can either force shutdown immediately or after some idle time. Command is something like this:
smartctl -n -s standby,VALUE /dev/sda with value either “now” or something between 0 and 255. From the manpage:
Values from 1 to 240 specify timeouts from 5 seconds to 20 minutes in 5 second increments. Values from 241 to 251 specify timeouts from 30 minutes to 330 minutes in 30 minute increments. Value 252 specifies 21 minutes. Value 253 specifies a vendor specific time between 8 and 12 hours. Value 255 specifies 21 minutes and 15 seconds.
The concept of swiping was used everywhere. Makes it quick and easy to use. You could just swipe right to close a thread, or the video/image. No need to use the back button, or reach for the tiny X in the corner.
And the seamless galley mode was awesome. Very unique (only found it quite similar in Joey).
When Slide died slowly I eventually switched to Joey, which ie very close to Slide regarding usability. One thing Joey did better was zoomable videos. How cool is that!?
I really hope for a comeback of Slide as an Lemmy app!
Netflix will show the already produced second season, but I’m not sure if they will order more seasons. Maybe if it wins an Emmy and view count is really high. Let’s hope so!
