“I’m Your Fan” was a Leonard Cohen tribute album I really enjoyed, mainly for R.E.M. covering “First We Take Manhattan”! :)

There’s also A Giant Dog’s cover of the whole of Arcade Fire’s album “Neon Bible”, which gives it a punkish edge - I loved it! :)

Nice!!! Congratulations on the album! :) I’ve bookmarked for music time later! :)

I loved wasteland 3, and didn’t get going with 2 the same :) I felt 3 definitely called back to early choices I made, without giving anything away :)

Weirdly, I got really into the combat, which never happens to me. :)

That’s really interesting, I didn’t realise the viewer’s instance had an impact on how Lemmy handles things! :) I can imagine it could cause a few headaches trying to patch an app for one without breaking another.

Thinking about it - I joined Lemmy.ml for the programming, but did mean to try using more instances, this could be a fun experiment. :)

Hopefully it’s not too bad for the nice developer who makes Boost :)

Thank you again for taking the time to look into all this and explain it! :)

That’s really kind, thank you. :)

https://lemmy.world/post/4637372 - for me this works (Thanks to Max_p for noting about instances)

https://lemmy.world/post/27772240 - huh… for me share doesn’t work as it tries to share an image proxy instead… didn’t expect that :)

Thank you for this! I did some browsing, and on the back of your note, found the image proxy seems to be instance specific! :)

I didn’t know this was a thing that affected it, so that’s definitely useful to know. :)

Thank you! :) that’s really good to know - the crashes stopped with clearing the cache, but I didn’t know if the image proxy was normal/widespread.

Those cheeky gits! My comments are un-shredded :/ I replaced all of them with a generic “deleted” a few years ago…

Heehee yep, me too! :) In case it helps, the “About” message says I’m on version 1.0.15 (19)

Hmm…this has me thinking, maybe I’ll change up my Hugo site a little, so that there’s no dropdown menu - it’s the only thing javascript is needed for.

Thank you for this, some points that I’d not even considered, and a helpful reminder to myself to try and get that javascript from 99% to 100% unused. :)

Ah thank you! Not OP, but I’ve not known for the longest time and been too scared to ask :)

It’s a line from Ice Cube’s song “It was a good day” :)

I have a silly reason! I got a windows phone and loved it, so was happy to use Edge (when it was still its own thing and not effectively Chrome).

Edge’s PDF viewer was great, and in general things were speedy, got out the way, and best of all it synced bookmarks to my phone. :) I also liked the rewards system for using bing, and between microsoft and google, I regarded google as worse ethically. (Obviously… yeah not a solid argument)

I think I switched back to firefox and variants mainly because I started caring about my data, open-source, and also those advantages Edge had were eroding in real-time, with adverts, nagging, and Windows things creeping in - the rewards ended, the chrome thing, it started feeling like the IE days again.

One of my coworkers uses it still, and it pains me to see what new AI gimmick is being shoehorned in.

If I stopped for dumb reasons, I like to think I came back wiser for it. :)

This is absolutely the way! :)

As a former history student I love that RT word it as “USSR’s victory” and theirs only. I can almost hear someone’s children dissecting this in a few decades, ideally with a very pro-US source to contrast, and seeing if that sentiment shifted from 1945 to now. :)

(Before anyone puts words in my mouth, I studied history, and am well aware that we’d all be toast without Russia, and they suffered massively. I just find reading like this interesting.)

Wow said Goldbug! :) I just stumbled on this community and this looks like something I’d have loved as a kid :)

Aw I miss it - the time it was basically nokia maps was good. :)

Nothing… allergies suck, I miss nutella!

I want to be a great parent, and be able to make games and/or music for a living - dream I shall!

Short of that, I want to have a pet penguin and live in a quirky house by the sea like a character in some kids book, that sounds excellent.

Same on all counts, best of luck. ♥️
