Me on Lemmy today:

Apparently, they're currently in the process of turning people's Manifest V2 extension off. They seem to be stretching it out over a few weeks to sidestep a shitstorm.

Afterwards, there will still be uBlock Origin Lite, but the dev didn't choose that name for funsies. It will be even worse at ad blocking, and be missing some important features like automatic block list updates and the element picker.

Ehm, well, I may or may not be moderator of a DCSS community here on Lemmy. 😅

Yeah, I decided to write "roguelikes" up there, but 99% of my roguelike time, I've also spent in DCSS. It being more puzzley than many of the more recent roguelikes has certainly played a role...

I've certainly noticed that my patience has dropped off a cliff.

When I was young, I spent hundreds of hours in RPGs. Then I got into roguelikes, which are like RPGs, but condensed down. Well, and now I'm microdosing this crack, because the condensed version of roguelikes is apparently puzzle games.

Oh, you don't have to always boot anew from the read-only snapshot.

When you're booted into the working read-only snapshot, run sudo snapper rollback and then do a normal reboot.

This will make that read-only snapshot your new (read-writable) system state. So, after doing this, your OS will be as if you never applied that update.

More info on that command: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/archive/15.0/reference/html/book.opensuse.reference/cha.snapper.html#sec.snapper.snapshot-boot

Can't you roll back to a snapshot before the update that broke it? Then you can wait with updating for a week or two, in hopes that it gets fixed in the next Tumbleweed update...

Hmm, it's been a few years since I've run Fedora, but that's an experience also still stuck in my head from that time.

I always figured, Linux had just gotten better at that, because I switched to a more up-to-date distro afterwards, but in retrospect, it's not like Fedora is terribly out of date, so maybe that is just a weird configuration on Fedora...

I mean, I doubt Kate or Geany or Vim would've closed due to OOM, but sure...

Firefox unloads old tabs when restarting the browser, so most of those are more like temporary bookmarks.

Don't think I've ever seen someone open 300 tabs in one session or on Chromium...

The easiest is probably tomato soup. Just some tomato purree, salt, oil, pepper will already get you something decent. Adding some vegetable stock will, of course, make it better.

If you've got specific accounts you want to follow, you can get an RSS feed containing their public posts.

In terms of native clients, the closest such feature I know of, is that Fedilab (for Android) can remember your position in the timeline, so that you can resume reading.
If you primarily use one timeline, then you wouldn't re-encounter already read posts, because they're in the past from the remembered position.
I have to say, though, that it's not the most reliable feature in the world...

To me, the toxic culture of Reddit is a dealbreaker. Over here, you've got some folks that came from Reddit and didn't quite get the memo that they don't need to enter into gladitorial combat anymore when they disagree with someone, but overall, it's a lot more relaxed.
