Damn, I'm going to miss those messages one day on my Debian stable server.

Miniatures ≠ most of the 3d printing market. Minis may be fine but the rest of the 3d printing space will be at risk and covers a great deal more use cases.

Meshtastic has the mesh capabilities that others have mentioned but what's more immediately important is the ability to direct message others (no need to send private messages to everyone in range) and the ability to share GPS coordinates which is absolutely helpful in an emergency.

As someone who dailies a trackball, mouse, and trackpad: it depends on the setup. Trackpad is nice for when I'm on my laptop with just one screen. Mouse is nice with two high resolution displays and gaming. And at work I exclusively use a trackball across a triple monitor setup.

I mean, I can see why it's brewed an anti crowd. Founded by Radio Free Asia, a USA propaganda arm, and was funded up until late last year.

Additionally they have been aggressively pushed by the NED, an organization created to effectively conduct CIA color revolution in the overt.

And finally, compared to the other major US developed and funded project Tor, it is very centralized. It requires a phone number to use. The open source code is very oftenly neglected with the repository being out of date compared to the code being pushed out in updates.

Not every non-profit is your friend. Especially not non-profits that recieve funding largely from an agressive state that fashions itself as world police.

Now, I do use it as the US government is not currently in my threat model and I'm in need of an accessible messaging platform that I can get friends, family, and coworkers onto. But if for instance, the next administration extends transphobic policies federally you best believe I'm keeping that information off Signal.

Could you please not disparage an entire language and ethnic group? There's an entire grocery list of things you could insult Musk about, even while including Putin, to not bring the Russian language into it.

They're probably referring to nyaa si which normally has either decent webrips, Bluray rips once the show is released physically, and at times with list 3840p shows.

Comments section is kind of more to do with the specific torrent though.

Nicotine+ is a FOSS multi-platform gui for Soulseek and runs on Linux, *BSD, macOS, and Windows.

Freyr is a CLI tool that can either built manually for Linux I believe or ran in Docker on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

yt-dlp is a CLI tool that has compiled binaries or can be installed through a package manager on Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows.

Soulseek > Freyr > yt-dlp

Soulseek is better for more popular tracks and artists and in normally better quality.

Freyr can be fed a spotify/apple music link, find the highest quality version and pull the file from YouTube music or YouTube. Then it will automatically write the appropriate metadata and cover art to the songs.

If all else fails, yt-dlp to directly rip from YouTube.

Or buy it legally. In the past I've gotten songs by buying from Artists' website, bandcamp, and iTunes.

I just want to be able to input an address and it actually take me there and not just give the whole road. I don't care much for lacking traffic data but I want to at least get directions.

I understand I can search for locations but that doesn't work for houses, unlisted businesses (recently had an issue trying to local a local clinic that we were given the address for), or many trailheads.

Same, I left just recently for Arctic after no updates for months, unfixed app restarts, commenting issues, etc.

Paid for pro when it became available because at the time Avelon was a great Lemmy app and I enjoy supporting developers but seemed to get abandoned not too long after unfortunately.
