Goodbye Sync for Reddit...

And hello Sync for Lemmy (soon)!

Go to Options > Share Folder (on the top, next to "Set Download Folder")

Then select the folder you want to share with all the music or videos in it and that's it.

You can set up a single folder that has subfolders, or you can share multiple folders separately, your choice.

Been using adblock for years now, I haven't seen a single ad on my devices since then.

Last week my wife used her iPad so we could watch a video and I saw 2 ads in a row, it was kind of a strange experience.

If a creator needs money I'll donate directly to them, and if the only way to support is ads, then what a shame, I'm not gonna watch ads just because of a creator.

I am a bit more active here than I was in Reddit because I feel like here we don't really find the toxicity we had on Reddit, at least in my opinion.

Thought I was the only one, I can't log in anymore either :(

Is there anything I should look out for in particular?

Not really, I mean, let me explain to you my process to see if that helps

First of all I have 3 backups... 1 in cloud, 1 in secondary ssd, 1 in external ssd. When I download something from a source that I'm not sure about specifically in 1337x I:

  • Check the comments first, if there are a majority of people complaining then I don't download
  • If there are no comments, I check the profile of the uploader and check comments on other uploads. Seeing this guys' other uploads it seems that his content is ok and there is no need to worry about it.
  • Just in case, or if I'm still not sure, I run it through virustotal.
  • If I'm STILL not sure, I just use a VM and install it on the VM. If something happens I just delete everything and my computer is fine. And even if somrthing happens I'm prepared to do a clean install without worrying about my files.

I'm not sure and someone can correct me please if I'm wrong, but if the drive is installed in the same computer it doesn't make a big difference. VM is always better imo.

I don't know who that is, but I generaly encourage new pirates to download things that have comments so you can see whther it works, doesn't work, or it's a bad actor.

In rhis case I just wouldn't download at all due to the lack of comments. But if it's the only option you have, you can always try to download through a VM and check virustotal beforehand.

I just finished playing Resident Evil 4 remake for the first time and I'm gonna hop back in when I have the time

To add to the reply that was already given to you, I just want to let you know:

When I go to the instance startrek.website, I get told that I'm not logged in anymore and that I need to make a new account.

Someone is working on a browser extension so this can get fixed, even if it's just a temporary fix. So when this is created there will be no need for you to paste the link manually.

Since this is basically the inception of Lemmy we just have to be a little patient so Lemmy gets its right footing and they implement all the necessary features.

For me it was Metal Gear Solid 3 and 4, as well as Devil May Cry 3.

I used to have a pretty hard time thinking about what were my favorite games and the ones that changed my tastes and probably perspectives.

I realized that every time get asked this question the first games that come to mind are always these 3.

r/relationships...

That was a cesspool of bad advice and full of people doing mental gymnastics to always arrive to the same conclusion: break up/divorce, sue, key/scratch their car.

I don't want anything else related to Meta...

I stopped using Fb years ago and had to use it again not long ago because I moved countries and the demographic here can't stop using Fb/Instagram/Whatsapp for everything related to business.

But if it uses ActivityPub (and from my understanding that's decentralized), couldn't I just use my Mastodon account to interact with people there? Would that mean that my Instagram (or, in this case, "Threads") account can potentially communicate with Mastodon accs as well?
