Avatar is a bunny with floppy rabbit ears, and spare rabbit ears. It is holding a floppy disk featuring Lemmings, and there is a screen of ZX Spectrum Lemmings in the background.
Available on BBC iPlayer in the UK. Very funny parody of educational TV shows. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00bt6f2
I like Audacious. It does everything I need it to do and doesn’t have an oversized webesque GUI.
Harmoniod looks nice but I think the GUI would annoy me (pretty as it is). I might try it out though.
Umm… maybe. It went into my cup* of knowledge!
*I put something else here but it got corrected and then I couldn’t remember what I put.
I read the entire set of Amiga manuals, and the one for the Spectrum +3 (we’re stretching the definition of Operating System here, but +3DOS is still an operating system)
I believe it’s to do with hand cleanliness. When you enter, you push the door as your hands are dirty (maybe shove it with your arm or something), then when you leave your hands are (supposed to be) clean so you pull the door as it’s a nice clean handle to grab.
I don’t get it either, but that’s what I’ve heard as the reason.
And colours! So many colours.
The material’s always nicer too.
Not a name, but something else to be aware of which could also happen with names.
Yeah, the way it works with groups is not great. There are news feeds on Mastodon which are probably a better option to follow from there.
I assume you’re following from Mastodon? Unfortunately that’s how Mastodon works with groups - you see boosts of every single comment on your feed.
You’re better off with a Lemmy or Kbin account if you want to follow groups.
(and for the sake of clarity, this news account you’re following isn’t a bot - it’s a group)
I used to use K9 long time ago, but had issues with notifications not working properly. I’ve been using something not FOSS which was OK but I wasn’t 100% happy with. After reading about FairEmail on another thread the other day, I’ve now adopted that and so far it is working great. It has way too many options though!
I use ACalendar+. There’s a free and a paid version.
Save first.
There is also !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl and this was posted the other day: https://stirante.github.io/lemmy-discover/
Maybe due to this bug? https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/875
Most of the ones I created;
All of these are largely just me posting! The last two do get occasional posts from others.
I think it’s because they all show up as being boosted by the group.
You can follow communities from Mastodon with format @lemmings@lemmings.world (ie replace the exclamation mark with an @). It’s a miserable experience though. It’s better to follow communities using Lemmy or Kbin (I’m not sure if Calckey works better).
I did have a problem with this, but it was due to a password manager (possibly Chrome’s built-in one which I had a load of passwords duplicated in at one point) auto-filling a hidden field with the wrong password.
The front-end error is backup corrupt, but it’s not, it’s just the encryption key has been changed at the point of restore. Sort that and error gone.
