Dnsimple for me. Swapped from GoDaddy like 10 years ago and haven’t really felt the need to explore elsewhere, the costs are pretty good and never had any issues.

Just put the card in your wallet and scan it like a metro pass card.

I’m using Connect on Android and it’s been pretty flawless. Until I see a reason to swap, or a less insane paid version I’ll just keep using this.

The containers are useful for having multiple accounts. Eg I have a work tab that has my work Gmail/PayPal/etc accounts logged in, so I can easily switch contexts without closing all my other tabs/windows

+1 for the Sofle, I love mine, just built a wireless version so I can take it on the go.

I second this, and it has been bugging me since people started talking about the blackout. I think the big issue is that the people organizing the 48hr blackout are the mods. These are the people that have invested the most into reddit, and they dont want to give up that investment into their subreddits. They don’t want to leave reddit, and giving people an agreed upon alternative would be permanently fracturing their little fiefdom. They want to make a statement, and then for things to go back to the way they were, hoping that their tiny act of defiance makes a difference. The migration has to be led by users, but the issue of fractured lemmy communities is going to be hard to navigate unless lemmy introduces a way for communities to link together.

I’ve been unity Unity professionally for 10 or so years now before I went indie, but I generally love FOSS software so I have been trying to learn Godot and plan to swap over after my current project is finished. I will say that the documentation support for Godot Mono isn’t that great. I hate python-esque languages so I will still be using the Mono version, but often it requires a bit more googling or trial and error to make sure something works in the mono version.

Honestly this seems like the biggest downside of federation. It makes sense for like furry_gamedev to have its own community, but having multiple general purpose gamedev communities seems like unnecessarily splintering. I wonder if Lemmy will either add a way to combine them on the user end, or for the community side to be able to link themselves together.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of communities acting as entry points. Each one could act as a “node” which helps for redundancy in case one goes down, and if it only works one way then a community could remain separate if they really wanted to, but the larger community could still have posts from B showing up.

I don’t know if I could focus on work when I am jamming out to a song about drinking Pina Colada’s with my friends :D

Lyrics really mess with me working, although if its in a foreign language I find it a little bit less distracting. I had a friend that had a Pandora channel for instrumental movie scores that he would use when writing novels. But after a while he realized that upon re-reading his stuff he would know what was playing when he wrote certain parts lol. The epic battle scene music from LotR would change how he wrote compared to just flying over the shire.

Just throwing out another one since I remembered it. When I really have to crunch mode, I usually stick on the Vicious Delicious album from Infected Mushroom and just block out the world while its going.

Oh I’ll have to try out the Social Network soundtrack, thanks for the reccomendation!
