I’ve read that Aaron Swartz was tolerant of free speech in any way shape form, thus the acceptance of anything under the sun.

On desktop I use FoxScroller, a scrolling extension, which barely works now - but I’m probably the only one here with this objection. Everything seems to be working fine.

Will a critical mass be reached where we can create our own communities? At least at beehaw that seems to be handled top down, we had a poll asking what we’d want - does it work that way everywhere? I’d like a local area community, but as you say, who’d participate? I might be it.

Audacity can automatically insert labels at silences - it’s detailed in that link. It does all the work for you.

Kind of a wash - I’ve always been a RiF devotee. I might have rejected Sync if it wasn’t compact enough, or I didn’t realize it could be set that way - I’ve always placed a premium on cramming the most info onto a screen as I can. Which is why I was drawn to /. and then reddit, and can’t stand FB etc.

Splitting a recording into separate tracks - Audacity Manual Super easy to do. Back in the Cool Edit days I digitized hundreds of LPs by hand, it is a bit of a chore.

I’m really not sure which approach is best. kbin has a whole reddit migration community, you might find some answers there. I’ve only used PDS and I think you can leave parting words with it, too.

Just found this over at kbin, in the above linked thread:

You should bear in mind, PowerDeleteSuite doesn’t get everything. It can only see what’s in your reddit profile under New, Top, Hot & Controversial - there will be numerous posts that are too old with only 1 or a few karma that aren’t displayed in these lists. In particular, if you go through your top posts of all time, you might find some replies to these posts that you made that the script did not see.

The GDPR archive gives a full list of all the comments. What we need is a FOSS script that can use these csv files to get everything. Apparently Shreddit can take the csv files, however you have to pay $15 to use this feature.

I keep running Power Delete Suite and the comments keep getting restored. Pretty shifty of them.

Think you have a bottle of Tres Comas sitting on your keyboard…

I’ve always used RiF - it duplicates the desktop layout better than the others, along with so many other features. Wish its developer was moving on to a Lemmy app, but he’s cranking out one for Tildes instead.

I still use it to lurk - the shitstorm over there is quite amusing, read the latest announcement at r/videos. Yes, nothing but John Oliver videos - but the screed this is delivered with is a thing of beauty.

Had the week off from work, who doesn’t love those? Mostly a staycation, went to a nice musical gathering, jammed with friends too, got stuff done, cleared head.

Ha, there’s a Tilde webring. That’s like a jet powered Wright Brothers glider.

UPS employees overwhelmingly agreed to go on strike if their demands aren’t met by July 31st. These Amazon drivers are on strike now - all 84 of them, at one facility, obviously. They’re like the Boston Tea Party.

By contrast, there are 340k Teamsters working for UPS. Their forming picket lines will grind things to a halt in really short order. Good on those Amazon drivers! Hope others join in solidarity.

Edward Glaeser’s Triumph of the City is a really detailed and interesting account of all the good urban areas have done for us.

Ah, Lemmy code growing pains. Another one I’ve noticed, I think it’s the deadly combination of All + New, and it’s a live firehose of postings. That’s to be expected though…kind of cool to watch, actually.

I was - I’ve noticed I’ll be looking at a post, and then all of a sudden some other post is up - some bug at work. I’ll port my comment to where it belongs, thanks for the heads up.

That’s a really great analogy, I’m going to use that in the future.

Mind if I do a J?

The redditlist seems to be offline - taking part in the protest, I guess. So, looking at a recent archived version, we could always make sure we’ve duplicated the biggest subs, for a start. WorldNews definitely fits that bill.

Looking at what had the most subscribers in 2014 it doesn’t look like things have changed much - gaming, news, funny, videos, science. News for nerds. Most all of those have been covered here, but I think it would be prudent to cover all the bases.

Also, are we going to have local communities? Jeez, “communities” is a lot of typing. Subs is 5 characters. Local “comms”? Sounds like a Hawkwind song…
