You either spend your life really well or you have way too much time on your hands.

Either way I read your post with happy curiosity. 🙂

I love Vivaldi. Am sad it’s Chromium. Wish Firefox would take a page out of Vivaldi’s features book and innovation approach.

Mastodon struggles a bit to pick up pace.

Found this:

It explains some pain points.

Agreed. Horrible news.

Hoping Syncthing-Fork will continue.

I just installed that on your recommendation.

Hoping for the best.

Here the link for anyone who wants to check it out.

Which search results or which queries could one show the average user to make that point?

This!

Good I’m on Tumbleweed then. 😁

Seriously, I will test it in a virtual machine.

Good point. Which distros handle it well?

Interesting. Gotta try that.

I have P2Play installed. It only supports 1 instance at a time. 🤷

Are there any clients that support multiple instances? It would improve my feed if I would see content from several instances at once.

You can. That’s what I meant with folders. But I cannot position these icons and folders freely on a grid like the Win10 Start menu allows. Still, Gnome comes quite close.

Thank you. I might just have to switch to KDE for that. Will install KDE on my current GNOME environment. Will give it a test drive.

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at it. It is basically a simplified Windows 7 menu. Decent, but it doesn’t go far enough for me.

Gnome itself is actually not bad. It has a full screen menu and arrangeable application icons and folders, but I cannot group them the way I want, let alone resize them. I wish there was something for Gnome, but I don’t see it.

Perhaps I am asking for an edge case. Even Microsoft has dumbed down its Start menu in 11 to essentially a mobile launcher. Too few people seem to want that.

This looks great.

Suggestion: a step-by-step “howto” with an example or three to make it more useful for beginners.

Eternity just released a new version. 🤩

Good catch. I will keep an eye out for it. Let’s see what the dev does with that and how much dedication will go into it.

It definitely had potential. Was my main driver for Lemmy. It had the best layout of posts, modern and sleek handling, etc. Markdown worked just fine for me. The minor bugs I noticed didn’t bother me much. Am sad to see it implode like this… hope the dev will change his mind or someone will pick up the pieces.

I always keep Jerboa on as well. A solid “alternative” (1) and the client most unlikely to get abandoned.

1. it is the original client and is still actively developed

That’s concerning. I’m typing this through Raccoon right now. Awesome client.
