Timeshift makes all the difference, no more panicking after breaking something.

I had a university lecturer who would talk on such a complex level I'd just fall asleep from confusion. Turns out he used to be a Gentoo dev. Figures.

history | grep {some part of command}

Much more useful for going further back, even without grep.

What are you playing? in c/ukcasual

Trepang2 is insane, just playing the demo has been the best FPS experience I've had since half life alyx. And if I'm honest, even more intense than hl:a too.

I'm having to counter the intensity by also playing firewatch, lol.

Does Lemmy automatically refresh(or update in real time)? in c/lemmyworld

Came here to find out if anyone else had commented on this insanity, glad it's just a bug - it makes it almost unusable.

Saw this question over in r/Reddit: “If you could get one more season of a TV show, what show would it be?” | What show(s) would you choose? in c/general

Ah really? I actually find it difficult to say which season I liked the most, but 5 would have been up there. Or whichever season had the longest "Sheeeiiit.", lol

The Wire. It would probably ruin things but it was too damn good. Some of the best characters' actors have died since unfortunately.

Anyone else use their crappy old laptops to host servers? lol in c/selfhosted

[–] veng 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't think I've discharged a laptop battery below 80% since 2011..

Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit? in c/nostupidquestions

[–] veng 1 points 2 years ago

I've only been back to Reddit a few times since, it was old.reddit via the browser for some niche communities that don't exist on Lemmy. Otherwise I'm making do with the difference in content - I refuse to use that monstrosity they call the official Reddit app.

Using Jerboa for Lemmy, coming from a RIF user it has its flaws but it's a nice enough experience. Decentralised communities really need something to unify the experience in a way that people actually understand (or don't need to understand), so there's a long way to go if Reddit are to be toppled.

Why not jerboa? Works decently well.. EDIT: nevermind, forgot it's not on iOS and mlem isn't great yet

What’s your favorite TV show you’re binging right now in c/[email protected]

Black mirror... Since season 6 just came out after 4 years, the second episode made me lose some sleep. Also binging band of brothers, which I've somehow never seen.
