Simple Gallery from Simple Mobile. Why? Because Simple makes apps that are exactly what they need to be with sensible features that are usable without being bloated. And maybe use Dropbox for cloud syncing if you don't want to set up your own thing or use Google Photos.

On Android, I like Spotube. You can sign into Spotify if you want, and the app will interact with it, but uses YouTube as the source for streaming the audio. This is good if, say, you have a free Spotify account and aren't at your PC to use the web player + uBlock.

I honestly don't know how it should be. I'll leave that up to you. I wasn't logged in when I was going through communities. So that might be a way to filter them out easily - if you can pull a list of blocked instances from users' home instances once they log in.

Pretty good. It's kind of like Stumbleupon for Lemmy communities. The only "issue" I saw is it includes the forbidden no-no instances that are defederated by a lot of the bigger instances for being... troublesome.

Everyone's said qBittorrent, and I agree. I found myself using an old build of uTorrent for a very long time (2.2.1, I believe). I finally realized it was probably a risk being so far behind. qBittorrent feels like old uTorrent, before it got extra bloated and scummier. It also adds a lot of features. Truly, qBittorrent is the answer you're looking for coming from uTorrent.

As an Xbox owner since the OG in the early 2000s, I'd almost suggest against an Xbox One / Series controller too. I know the Xbox One is fairly old now, but it's the first one I had to get a new controller for due to stick drift. Original controller that came with it has the right stick set to full sky mode, completely unusable. The replacement has right stick drift as well, only slightly to the left at the moment. Manageable, but annoying. I would almost suggest a wired 360 controller (if you can find one these days). I'm an adult gamer, only user, and not hard on controllers, but maybe I've just had bad luck with my controllers.

LASIM can copy your current subs to another instance, as others have said. I wish there was a way to migrate posts/comments over. I guess you could just link to your old account in your bio though.

Jurassic Park 3 vibes.

I wonder if it has to do with preloading images and stuff to make the scrolling smoother. This could be a negative for people on mobile data that don't have unlimited data plans. If that's the case, being able to toggle preloading on wifi only might be something other apps would want to implement.

I tried removing it so I wouldn't be tempted to click it, but I like seeing the comment count as well.

The comment button is to leave a comment. To read comments on a post, you have to click the body of the post. The comment button works as intended; it's just counterintuitive and not what you expect it's going to do.

 

The World Is Quiet Here's album, Zon, is currently sitting at the top of my list for AOTY this year. Highly recommend a listen!

A more-than-decent look at the Varginha, Brazil, UFO/creature incident from 1996. It starts a little slow, but really held my attention once it got going. I wasn't familiar with any of it going in. Surprisingly, there weren't really any "eye roll" moments or oversensationalization that are common with these kinds of things. I think the interviewer wants to amp it up, but the language barrier and translators keep him reeled in. It's fairly engaging and not super over the top.

Linked to Tubi for convenience.

One of my favorite albums this year. Solid melodic tech death that came out of nowhere when it dropped. Enjoy!
