I was sad enough to know that all of your deleted everything are saved in lemmy and never truly deleted.
Another concern of mine; I was under the impression that while the posts/comments a user deletes on Lemmy are still there, or at least visible to the original author (and therefore on the server too, I guess, they’d have to be!), but not visible to other regular users, the content can be deleted by being overwritten, and that deleted posts disappear after 30 days . . . ? (very tired here, did I just contradict myself?) Anyway, that’s at least the impression I got from here:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977
and here:
https://lemmy.ml/post/22763196
I haven’t been here long enough to see if a deleted post of mine has disappeared after 30 days.
In another life I was on an instance where if I deleted something, it disappeared as it should, though I don’t know if it also got deleted from their server(s) . . .
@dessalines@lemmy.ml, could you please clarify this for us?
Some apps do.
But not on the web interface, I guess, whether desktop or mobile?
What Lemmy app do you use?
I just discovered that myself! I had everything Google-related that I could find on my phone disabled, which is why I couldn’t figure this out right away. When I enabled Google files, I was able to go to Apps and download the apk by sharing it. However, it won’t install on my wife’s phone, which makes me think that when I switch to GrapheneOS that it may well not work there either. In any event, I won’t have any scruples pirating it since I already paid for it!
Post-Snowden and post-Windows, I also started with Fedora, and, well, it honestly didn’t go all that well (this of course was my experience! If you like Fedora and it works for you, then 👍! Not here to dis the distro!). Actually, I think it had more to do with GNOME than with Fedora, so it depends on which desktop environment you’re using; when I switched DE to Cinnamon all my problems seemed to vanish into thin air. And from there, I just went straight to Mint and have been happy as a clam ever since and never looked back.
In my experience, running Windows as a VM inside Mint was overall much better than dual booting, which can really get to be a pain after a while (and also I think that the Windows partition will sometimes overwrite the Linux part so be careful!); it sounds hard, but it isn’t—if old and senile Erinaceus can do it, you can too! Always happy to provide recommendations.
EDIT: Also (and again not to step on anyone’s toes), I never had good luck using Wine; this is perhaps because I was trying to run Photoshop and other heavy, Adobe-type things in it (this was before Creative Cloud). Other programs might work differently with it, but in every case for me, a VM has worked better. I don’t play games (I know, boring), but I sometimes wonder if it wasn’t for people’s dependence on Adobe products that Windows might finally start losing a lot of market share and eventually end up on the rubbish heap where it belongs.
Ok, nobody told me not to, so here it is!

RHVoice worked for me.
That reminds me, I think I remember reading on the FreeTube page that they recommended using a VPN with it (this was before the current issues with Mullvad); anyone know why? Are FreeTube users in any danger of being hunted down by Sundar Pichai & co.?
Yeah, same here! I have to turn off Mullvad when watching FreeTube which is definitely annoying.
Possibly Odoo . . . ?
That’s the Spectre. “He’s more powerful than God,” I always used to say.
India has a 13.15% Linux Desktop market share! Go India! 🇮🇳
This isn’t really what you’re looking for, but libremd is an Invidious-style front end for the IMDb. It manages to scrape quite a bit from them, though not everything.
Going to go through the troubleshooting guide on iFixit on the remote chance that I can salvage this thing…
Thanks to @sloppy_diffuser@sh.itjust.works and @limerod@reddthat.com. The GrapheneOS page recommends getting at least a “7,” but I can probably sell some more plasma and the rest of my Precious Moments™ figurines to get a more expensive model. The 5a5g did indeed have a headphone jack, but I guess anything newer than that doesn’t have one. Which means, I guess, earbuds/bluetooth (what Mrs. zdhzm2pgp calls “ear cigarettes”)? I’ve never had these for anything; how well do they work? I was sort of under the impression that the sound quality was not great, but that was also a long time ago.
