It’s true, at least for me. I can actually control the focus now instead of digging down a rabbithole of <random topic here> for 6 hours at 3am.

If I’m going down that rabbithole now, it’s because I want to.

Man, the code in that project is really something else. Looks like something hacked together in a weekend

I think I’m going to fork it and make it… not that.

The stock Pixel phone app has this. If you don’t use the stock phone app, you can’t use this feature.

Just added it to the massive Google graveyard next to Stadia, wave, hangouts, plus, music, etc etc

I am shocked and appalled that Google Reader didn’t get called out in this list and is relegated to the “etc” category.

It deserves more than “etc.”

Gotcha. I’m actually in the process of moving away from Namecheap because of an experience I just had with them. I tried to register a domain about a month ago (the domain my Lemmy instance is on) and it stopped the registration process immediately after I hit the Pay/Checkout/whatever button and told me to contact their support team to register it.

The error message said it was because the domain name was too similar to something that already existed, and that the support team would have to decide whether I’d be allowed to register it or not. So I went to another registrar and registered it with no issue. I really didn’t like that, and it’s enough to make them lose me as a decade+ long customer. I already use Route53 for DNS for all my domains, so it’s not like I was using them for anything else other than a registrar, so untangling that shouldn’t be too much of a pain.

It only costs $6 a month plus the $35/yr for the domain name

My man, you are getting absolutely bent over a barrel by your registrar. You could get that domain significantly cheaper at a place like Porkbun or Namecheap.

just raise awareness about tools like this one https://lemmyverse.net/

I also think that something like LCS or Lemmony should be recommended and/or included in the default Lemmy docker compose file.

That way, when new Lemmy servers get spun up, they will automatically get seeded with content and communities from other existing Lemmy servers.

I still haven’t found a replacement for it.

Oh man, this takes me back…

It’s a decade later, and I’m still bitter about Google Reader’s unceremonious execution.

“No, I can’t come out tonight, I’m optimizing my CONFIG.SYS file so I can have a mouse AND my Soundblaster work at the same time!”

docker (while you don’t need it to host things, it makes your life 10x easier)

…until you have a single extra space character hiding 20 lines into your compose file and the whole thing falls over the next time you try to bring the containers up.

Lint your code and configs every time!
