Just a spacefaring raccoon that’s eaten all the food onboard. Sorry.

I read in another post a while ago that there was some issue with a Windows update that caused it not to register as Windows. It was then corrected in a subsequent update. So the Unknown bump is just Windows.

Ad removal on Sync is US$19.99. Lifetime Sync Ultra is $99… 👀
Sync is great, but I’m not the biggest fan of introducing ads in a service that doesn’t inherently have ads - nothing against the dev getting paid. You also can’t currently create a new post (just says “coming soon”). I used Sync on Reddit for years, so I’m otherwise pretty biased toward it.
Connect is a close second, for me. It’s still a work in progress, but I feel it’s pretty close to Sync. Given time, I think it’ll be there. The dev is also very responsive. Features are pretty community driven as well - so if you want something, post in the community.
But I have to say, for its lack of polish, Jerboa still comes out on top for me. It’s not as smooth scrolling the feed and it needs an option to handle links in-app, but with it being open source and there being a bunch of contributors adding features, every time I think it’s missing something, it’s just a matter of waiting for the next update. The one from today added DMing, which was the big thing I saw other apps handling better. Plus, I think (other than Sync), it’s the only app that handles multiple accounts the best if you want sorting and defaults per account rather than app-wide.
I also still pop into Thunder, Summit, Liftoff, and Voyager periodically to see how they’re coming along. And now, I’m including Infinity (and Boost or any others whenever they’re ready).
At the end of the day, people are just going to have to try the different apps for themselves to see what works for them.
It happens. I’m glad you said something, because I was coming in with another PSA about trying to discourage this behavior. What’s cute now can easily turn into an unfortunate accident in the future.
I’m not sure I fully understand the question, but maybe using Obtainium and pointing it at the developers’ GitHub? It’ll download directly from the source that way, including updates, etc
Sorry for your loss. We lost our kitty at the start of the year to an aggressive cancer we thought we’d caught early enough with surgery. My heart goes out to you. ❤️
She can have my slice. No need to steal it. 🥹
Around 2004, maybe 2005, I had to recover some files from an old laptop and landed on a live CD of Knoppix for the job. Dabbled in Linux a bit after, but not seriously, for the better part of the decade after - mostly distro hopping and having fun, especially with old hardware, back when Ubuntu was in better standing with the community.
Ended up using it more seriously in the last ~5 years. Hopped around Mint, Manjaro (actually lasted 2 years before I borked it), and OpenSUSE before finally landing on Fedora, which has been my daily for maybe 2 years now. With the Red Hat stuff, depending on how that pans out, I’m debating on just going to vanilla Debian at this point. But I’ve always had a soft spot for Mint, so we’ll just have to see.
As for Windows, I still have my main tower with Win 10 (no Linux) that I’ve upgraded throughout the years from Win 7. But Win 11 isn’t having it, so once Win 10 hits EOL, it’ll get Linux as well (assuming it doesn’t kick the bucket first).
I have it off most of the time and turn it on when I know I’m heading into an adpocalyptic space, so I’m not really sure. 😅
If you’re coming from Blokada, check out AdAway. It works the same way unrooted, setting itself as a VPN that can be toggled on and off. So if you’re coming from Blokada, it’s like that, but without the recent-ish subscription stuff - so you’ll feel right at home.
AdAway works very well unrooted. It sets itself as a VPN that you can toggle on/off within the notification or app. I’ve had no issues with it, personally. Recommended, especially if coming from Blokada since they moved to subscriptions.
I just need account and subscription management handled better in Liftoff. I appreciate being able to toggle between subscriptions on different instances, but I’d like it to toggle the active user over to the account associated with the selected instance/subscriptions. Too easy to cross contaminate.
Fedora is what finally got me to stop distro hopping 2-3 years ago. :(
This is the way. Definitely recommend looking into this. Just be sure to read through the instructions in full first and gather everything you need ahead of time.
It’s a cute pic and a beautiful kitty, but please be careful. I hate to be that person, but letting your cat normalize being in the dryer is a potential tragedy waiting to happen.
Honestly, not sure at this point. Jerboa has the fullest features as far as everything goes. Every other app has been missing some key functionally for me to varying degrees. Not to say any of them aren’t good, but none have truly, ultimately impressed me yet. Sync was my go-to on Reddit, so I have very high hopes for that launch. If I had to pick one alternative that I could use, but still doesn’t quite tic all the boxes, it’s Thunder. Especially right now, as Jerboa crashes on launch.
EDIT: Liftoff is where it’s at. It has all the features other third-party apps are still missing.
If you mean basically discontinue this community and move people over, I guess a mod or owner could change the name/sidebar to direct people there. I mean, there’s already a link to that community in the sidebar saying the dbzer0 one is the official community (as far as official can be from the Reddit one).
1337x has a person that posts PSA’s stuff. They’re pretty close to the x265 encodes from RARBG. If you don’t mind larger sizes, same site, but look for QxR.
I loved Textra. It’s not their fault, but I really love RCS support, and right now that’s basically Google Messages and a handful of preinstalled carrier messenger apps (if I’m not mistaken). I loved adding a 3 second delay on sending texts - I always seem to see typos as/after I hit send. 😂
