Not that I’m aware of. The Lemmy APIs provide access to that data but I don’t know of any existing tool that uses it for the purpose of exporting posts or comments.

All your old stuff will stay visible even after lemm.ee goes down, but it won’t be linked with whatever new user you create on another instance.

If export and import of posts and comments was possible it would result in “duplicating” your posts and comments to your new account, which as you might imagine would be an absolute mess (not to mention technically infeasible - how would comment chains with other users work?) so you can presumably understand why it isn’t.

It’s quite annoying for sure (and I’m a lemm.ee user too, so I’m also annoyed with everything I’m losing) but this is the trade-off we accept with federation that allows Lemmy as a whole to be robust and keep going even without lemm.ee

Back in the early 2000s I was a teen on a 56k dial-up modem. There would be frequent connection drops, or if not that, my dad would simply kick me off the Internet so he could make a phone call. Trying to download large files through the browser would only end in tears, so a download manager that supported resume was absolutely essential.

I used something called FlashGet (I was a Windows user back then) which looking it up now apparently turned into a malware-riddled mess towards the end of its life, as did so many things. But it was an absolute lifesaver at the time.

I like fresh spinach in this or that too, but yeah the bags are big if you just want to graze a few leaves here and there.

I normally use it up by cooking it. Spinach is one of those veggies that seems like a “lot” fresh, but when you cook it, it wilts to absolutely nothing.

Pan wilted spinach with some soy sauce and garlic powder makes an excellent breakfast-time toast topping along with a fried egg.

Creamed spinach with parmesan is a delicious and quite decadent dinner side that can pair with just about anything.

Now in hungry for spinach lol

I was in Rome recently and saw smart cars and other types of micro-car doing this everywhere. Which makes complete sense given how busy yet small Rome is.

Tension, mostly

VSCode is by far and away the best thing Microsoft has ever done. (I’m sure therefore they will ruin it eventually, but that’s a separate issue)

Its good for two main reasons IMO:

1. It is plugin-based

2. It is (therefore) language-agnostic

Plugins mean the DE starts as a very lightweight thing that is basically nothing more than a text editor. You can then add as much or as little as you want to get the level of features you are comfortable with but without being too bloated.

And then, because it’s all plugins, you can work with any language and still stay within the same editor. Divine.

I personally love how lightweight it is compared to a full IDE because I don’t like it when IDEs hide the magic behind UI. Press the button and it compiles huh? But how? What’s going on there? What toolchain and commands are being executed?

I much prefer a good MAKEFILE where you know what your entry points are and what is going on, because it makes everything so much more portable and also improves your own knowledge and understanding.

Wireguard doesn’t necessarily need to have those limitations, but it will depend in part how your VPN profile is set up.

If you configured your wireguard profile to always route all traffic over the VPN then yeah, you won’t be able to access local networks. And maybe that’s what you want, in which case fine :)

But you can also set the profile to only route traffic that is destined for an address on the target network (I.e your home network) and the rest will route as normal.

This second type of routing only works properly however when there are no address conflicts between the network you are on (i.e. someone else’s WiFi) and your home network.

For this reason if you want to do this it’s best to avoid on your own home network the common ranges almost everyone uses as default, i.e. 192.168.0.* and 10.0.0.*

I reconfigured my home network to 192.168.22.* for that reason. Now I never hit conflicts and VPN can stay on all the time but only traversed when needed :)

Don’t wait. Do it now before your hand is forced.

And you can say no if you want to!

Tough one. I’d probably end up being the person who just kept politely listening while trying to shut down the conversation amicably like “well anyway” and “I must get cooking dinner now” and “my plants need moisturising” or something.

Neighbours are extremely high on the list of people I want to avoid pissing off, because a neighbour with a grudge against you could be an absolute nightmare (especially when you live in a townhouse and share walls)

The same people who complain on Amazon reviews that the cable broke for “no reason”

OP specifically said they don’t want to dual boot, and I honestly understand why they would say that.

When you dual boot you need to worry about what bootloader is in use and how it is set up. You might find yourself in a situation where you later decide to move fully to Linux and use the old Windows drive as storage but you can’t because if you wipe it then everything stops working.

Windows has even been known to destroy dual boot setups occasionally during Windows updates.

All very solveable if you have the right knowledge, but if you want to keep your life simple then swapping hardware has guaranteed safety (nothing can go wrong with the contents if a drive if it’s not plugged in, after all) and it’s very predictable and understandable.

Maybe it’s a really really small book

Personally I feel what it gave them - primarily - was the ability to be independent of Microsoft, not beholden to them in any way whatsoever, and not having to pay them any license fees.

The fact that after putting so much work into making Proton and that whole toolchain amazing it actually turned out faster than Windows, well, that’s juat the delicious icing on the cake, from a commercial perspective.

Its not, but you can’t just keep a passenger on your plane who is flipping out and might try something else crazy apart from that.

“The squeaky wheel gets the grease” is an adage that is unfortunately true, and I find it absolutely infuriating.

I would much prefer that we can all be polite and courteous to each other, so when being polite fails but having a screaming tantrum gets results it really makes me annoyed at the unfairness.

The way 2. is written is basically a death sentence.

What they presumably meant is “never exceed your ideal weight no matter how much you eat”

Just for clarity, Graphene doesn’t provide a “neutered” version of play services - the version of play services which runs is the same code as provided by Google, with the only difference being that it runs in a sandbox which only grants it the same level of permission as normal apps (which you can choose to grant or not) rather than running as effectively root on your device like it does on most android phones.
