Move the stuff out. If one day I need something else in it, i set the file I have to "do not download" and run "force recheck". Haven't had any issues.

Saying you're open to something is also the diplomatic first step of stalling. There no way to know if they are being candid or disingenuous.

3 minutes test.

Pro:

• Seems to work. I can hear sound and it seems to be where I left off.
• Downloading offline book seem to work which is a huge plus compared to the official app although I wish someone was considerate with space and built the option to store only X hours. I really only need to store enough for my next commute.
• Looks clean, but to be honest that's not a very important factor since I mostly only use the app to press play.

Cons:

• Library doesnt distinguish already read books and new books.
• Can't group books by author and series.
• I don't like the scroll down on the playing screen that switch to a chapter screen but scrolling up doesn't do the opposite. Seems like poor UX. 1) scrolling down is not a usual action to change screen. 2) Opposite action should have opposite result.

Edit: ah ok got it. It does work but not with the same sensitivity, you can scroll down but you need to flick up, most likely because you got screwed by the list of chapters which is most likely also scrollable (my list isn't long enough to require scroll so I can't test that). Anyway, I stand by my previous note: "opposite actions" and flick up is not the opposite of scroll down.

Promising beginning though.

I've done one. In some cities it's about as selective as an open mic night at your local pub.

Sounds like my TEDx speech. To excuse myself, I want to say that I got called 48h before because someone dropped out and asked to do 20 minutes on a topic I wasn't close to an expert on and that was also only my second public speaking experience.

I wish I had chatGPT at the time to write a bunch of bullshit for me.

I think we should but Europe doesn't have close to the mean to produce enough weapon as it is. When we started to help Ukraine we realized we couldn't even produce enough riffle bullets let alone missiles.

Europe is not a federal state. Military speaking there is no Europe. There's a bunch of small countries with their own industry and military capabilities. If Ukraine has french launchers they'll depend on the French industry to produce rockets, not on a 500M people country called "Europe" who has the capabilities to reorganize productions.

And currently no country in Europe is ready to relinquish militaries capabilities and prerogatives to the union.

I see it like pageants. TED is miss world. TEDx is miss cornfield.

As you discovered when you tried to get your friends to use Signal instead of whatsapp it's actually very hard to move people.

Everyone was "yeah let's leave Reddit the owner are evil and taking away our mobile apps". Barely anyone did. It is not trivial to convince a group of people to move.

Good luck getting an edit to stick when you're doing it privately on a high traffic or political page. Wikipedia is known to have an entrenched little clique that works hard at gatekeeping.

Instances are worthless, what has value are the /c/ and absolutely nothing in the Lemmy model protects communities from the admin of the instance where it was created to go full Elon. I bet that at some point it will happen.

Most of the time you don't even know who is running the instance. Suffice that one of them that's running a large enough communities needs a bit of cash and decide to sell it. Or they could be in bed/owned by any intelligence agency/corporation/political party. Who knows.

I've spend a year in my lost time musing on the design of a truly decentralised model where identity, community, curation (moderation) and distribution are entirely decorrelated to address those specific issue among all the othes, including the one you mentioned. It's complex, it's a big task, but I don't think it's impossible. I'm too lazy to code it though :D

Lemmy is still shit governance wise. It's just a bunch of fiefdom managed by god knows who, there's absolutely nothing democratic about it.

Je me chauffe au bois et quand tu dois couper, porter et charger des bûches c'est un truc que tu apprends rapidement.

Unable to connect to database This either means that the username and password information in your config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at "172.20.244.74". This could mean your host's database server is down.

C'était pas malin de se connecter à la base de données en 3G

Give them money so they can pay their CEO 83 times my salary ? Fuck no, never.

Yup, for a solo project that you don't want to share I would even argue that a forge is close to pointless.

Any ssh remote will work as a backup, you can run the ci/cd task on your own computer just fine (very likely faster even), you obviously don't need to send PR and request code review to yourself and if a TODO.md isn't enough to keep track of tasks there's a billions lightweight task/note tracker.

I use github because I'm a lazy and it works fine as a backup but I don't need 99% of the features for my pet projects.

First question is why do you want a forge ? Knowing the feature you need out of it is what should drive your decision.

Personally I would question the benefit of allocating ~5% of your work time to anything that isn't core building your product but that's up to you.

I've reported my fair share of bugs but the main issue with the android app is that the code is amateurish and poorly tested. Lots of the crash bugs are just devs not checking for non existent values and relying on perfect network conditions.

But yeah, It gets the job done, it's just not a great app.

I use JF. It's ok but still rough around the edges and if we count as JF the apps, I have to admit that the Android TV app is pretty bad, it's chokefull of very basic bugs, like crashing on start, and missing very basic features like delaying subtitles and the navigation is pretty bad, especially for TV show, navigating between series, episodes and home is a hot mess.

The EU has been designed so that no one in any position can abuse his (or her) powers or at least make it extremely difficult to do so, with an added layer of mistrust between the states requiring even more checks and balances so it can lead to some ridiculously complicated processes since not much can be done without a majority consensus.

Deciding to leave twitter or not will lead to a barrage of comments from all the countries, so I'm not even surprised that even that decision has to be carefully managed.

I'm poking fun but for all it's flaws the EU has achieved a surprising amount of things.
