The piracy community? I frequent there

PythagreousTitties , in How do I go about finding a copy of an obscure movie?

Usually searching by "retro" helps. "Vintage" will probably go too far back and too obscure, but still have some really good, uh, movies. You can also use decades as a search parameter. For example "1990" will bring up a a good variety of obscure... movies.

I feel like I'm the one always asking questions, so it's nice to have the opportunity to provide an answer for someone once in a rare while, so thank you! 🙂

I ask a lot of questions too loo

Dagwood222 , in What is a hobby nobody else has done that you want to start?

From the science fiction novel "The Syndic."

Polo, except with jeeps firing .50 caliber machine guns. You have a metal ball about the size of a truck tire and a field about 2 miles long.

cassiacow ,

That sounds... terrifying. I'm not sure I could even spectate.

plactagonic , (edited ) in What is a hobby nobody else has done that you want to start?

More like really niche "sub-hobby" of homebrewing.

Growing/propagating your own yeasts. I did it about year ago and didn't have a time to get in to it again.

Gamers_mate OP ,

Closest thing I have ever done to that is Brewing Kombucha.

plactagonic ,

It is more sterile and intentional proces. But yeah at the end you end up with petri dish or tube with little dots that make beer/wine/kombucha or something else.

Sound a pebble dropping in water
Splashh...

Gamers_mate OP ,

So like skipping a pebble across water but without having to worry about damaging coral or sea life because you can drop it in a safe area instead of the rock landing someone where further out in the lake or pond potentially hurting any ducks/water birds. It also has a lower skill requirement so that is a bonus.

lostwonder , in What app are you using to browse Beehaw on Android?

Started out using Jerboa since that was it and Baconreader didn't do Lemmy. Now, I'm using Sync and Summit for Beehaw.

The Web version of old.lemmy.ca, though my phone only runs apps up to android 4.3 and isn't exactly android based

I use Connect.

I used to use Jerboa but it broke after an update and I switched over, I found it to be a better UX on Connect.

along_the_road , in What app are you using to browse Beehaw on Android?

I use connect to browse.

I tried sync for a little but honestly it's very underwhelming compared to the reddit version. Nowhere as smooth plus dev is constantly disappearing for months on end.

theangriestbird OP ,
@theangriestbird@beehaw.org avatar

interesting you say that, bc i think i'm gonna do the reverse. Sync for browse and Connect for post. Maybe your way is smarter, but i paid for the premium sync so idk. sunk cost fallacy or something lol

Firefox. I'm using the normal website interface.

Zoop , in What app are you using to browse Beehaw on Android?

I use Connect. It's perfect for me and has lots of customization options. I love it! Raccoon is good, too, I just prefer Connect.

newtraditionalists , in What app are you using to browse Beehaw on Android?

Jerboa. I love it.

@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

I alternate between Jerboa and Summit because Jerboa looks nicer, but Summit has more features and a much better search function. Tho I am not happy with Jerboa's last update that changed how votes are displayed and there's no options to go back to what it was.

Edit: lol Jerboa just updated and added an option for the old score view.

Liftoff... but I wouldn't recommend it.

It hasn't been updated in a long while, it has some even larger missing features, and some extra bugs.

Sync... was actually one of the few to update for some Beehaw-apecific bugs some time ago, you might want to contact the developer with your issues.

I keep it as a bav6for when Liftoff fails, the draft feature is pretty nice, and it has better search.

Kolanaki ,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

I'm surprised you're able to continue using Liftoff at all. It doesn't work what-so-ever with any instance (like you can't log in) on any version of Lemmy beyond 0.19. I finally retired using it when my primary instance updated.

jarfil ,
@jarfil@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah... Beehaw is still on 0.18.4, guess my days of using Liftoff are coming to an end sooner or later.

Kolanaki ,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Ride that pony as long as you can, friend. I still hope that the dev will come back 🥹

jarfil ,
@jarfil@beehaw.org avatar

Looking into it, seems like Liftoff is a fork of Lemmur, which was a nlnet project [1] that got archived "due to lack of interest and political differences" a few months after the funding ended. Can't find who's now in charge of the Liftoff org on GitHub, so it's hard to tell who should come back 🤔

Beehaw won't update so you are fine

comicallycluttered ,

As someone who used Sync exclusively in the reddit days (and uses it here as well), while the dev is generally open to suggestions, he tends to take loooooong breaks, even between betas.

That means bugfixes and features do eventually come, but sometimes not before someone has moved onto something else with more active development. The funny thing is that when those updates do come, they come in speeding. Like multiple updates per day on some occasions.
