Yeah, I was hoping user level instance blocking would also block users from the instance. Hopefully the functionality will be added in later.

Lol as if a tiny visual toggle to remove a UI element from appearing in a single screen is so time and labor intensive that it’s going to make it completely impossible for the developer to work on “more pressing things”. If it’s such a hassle to add and has no benefit, why did every other lemmy app developer add it to their apps, without anyone even needing to ask for it in the first place for that matter?

Just because you don’t see a benefit in it or refuse to doesn’t mean it isn’t a useful feature, otherwise it wouldn’t be in any of the other apps at all. And this post is a “feature request” not a “feature demand”, I didn’t ask that the feature be given some kind of special attention, just put it out there that it would be useful to have. If you don’t like that, move on. The post wasn’t addressed to you, it was addressed to the developer, so you speaking on his behalf on what he may or may not consider a useful or time-intensive feature to add doesn’t really have any value to me.

Conversely, I don’t see any downside to it. If it’s added and you don’t like it, then just don’t use the setting. It doesn’t affect you. Other lemmy apps have this setting and anyone who wants to use it uses it. No real reason for it not to be added.

I prefer not to see karma scores, not on my profile or any other. Karma ruined reddit for me with the karma rat race that caused so many low effort posts and comments. And no, I’m not going to just never go to user profiles on account of this. If profiles weren’t meant to be accessible, then they wouldn’t be publicly visible at all.

Very good choice for a mobile browser based on Firefox. I’ve been using Iceraven on my phone for some years now and it’s definitely better than default mobile Firefox. I’m sure you’ll like it.

I love this explanation so much lol

The game’s exclusive early access period for purchasers of the premium edition just released. Big name streamers are playing and streaming the game. Reviews are pouring out of every game review site. On top of all that, the general release is days away. Obviously, people are gonna be talking about it.

They handle the downloading, extraction, categorising and naming of the media you want and they can do that automatically.

I’m good with handling this manually, or rather, I don’t even have to handle any of this since Stremio takes care of it, and I have neither the hard drive space nor the bandwidth to devote toward allowing a bunch of programs to just start downloading large files perpetually in the background, filling up my hard drive and taking up all my bandwidth lol. The .arr suite is best combined with a seedbox and a dedicated computer. All I have is a 1.5 TB hard drive and no gigabit internet speeds.

And honestly, I don’t see what appreciable amount of “time and effort” this is going to save for me. With Stremio, it’s as easy as going into the catalog (or using the search bar), clicking a movie, and picking one of the releases from the menu. If I wanna watch a show or movie that isn’t out yet or whose upcoming season is yet to be released, I can just add it to my library and turn on notifications.

It doesn’t get any easier than that, doesn’t require a massive hassle with a set-up process involving several different programs and trial and error, and I don’t have to devote hard drive space for every show or movie I want to watch, since Stremio keeps files on a temporary cache that gets deleted at regular intervals, so it doesn’t end up filling my hard drive. This system is perfect for me, I have no reason to change it.

As I mentioned in a different comment here, I’m already familiar with the arr suite. It’s how I found Jackett in the first place, and I’ve already determined that setting up the .arr programs isn’t worth it for me. Stremio suits me just fine, the .arr programs appear to be better suited toward those with the time and money to setup a whole dedicated server for their media needs. I only consume media on my personal computer, so I have no need for that.

I have tried Prowlarr though, just yesterday in fact. I didn’t really find its manual search feature to be any better than Jackett’s, and in fact it had some issues. In any case, since I don’t use the .arr programs, I’ve no reason to switch. Thanks for the suggestion though.

See, I was hoping this meme would inform at least one person that Qbittorrent comes with an in-built search engine. That’s how I found out about it in the first place, through a meme lol

Jackett is a program that allows you to configure multiple indexers (torrent sites, like 1337x, EZTV, RuTor, Nyaa.si, etc.) in a single interface, that way you can search through all of them at the same time. Jackett, and another program just like it called Prowlarr, is usually used in conjunction with the .arr suite of programs (Radarr, Sonarr, etc.), but it includes a manual search function that allows you to query all the indexers you have set up in the interface at the same time. That’s exclusively what I use it for.

So, for example, I have 22 indexers set up in my installation of Jackett. I can use the manual search function to search through all of them at once, then I can sort the results by seeder count, publish date, and file size, and I can filter through the results to find exactly what I’m looking for. Once I’ve found the file I want, I can copy the magnet link directly from the search results and paste it into Qbittorrent. It’s an extremely easy way to find files quickly, and it’s much more efficient than manually going to a bunch of different torrent sites to search for a file that might not even be available there. With Jackett, I’ve literally never once had a case where I wasn’t able to find what I was looking for. That’s how good it is.

The notification to enable enhanced safe browsing even shows up when you’re accessing Gmail on Firefox. It doesn’t even make any damn sense, this feature only works on Chrome. And of course they’ll never add a “don’t show again” option. Think I might just set Gmail to forward to my Proton account from now on.

Edit: found an article on how to forward to ProtonMail in case anyone else wants to know how. Seems very easy to do.

It remains unclear whether the pilot intentionally designed the shape. Insider asked Lufthansa about this, but the airline avoided the question in its response.

Lmfao

No, they’re far too busy using taxpayer money to bail out banks and businesses that are “too big to fail”.

Solution: do stuff with your friends on your computer.
