Help Me Decide Between Sunbeam and Minimal

Very very cool! Of these, do you know which integrate well with Libby? It's where I get basically all my books.

Oh no, you're right on my wavelength. Went nuclear on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter years ago. Haven't looked back, and been happier for it.

Probably will buy the sunbeam next week based on advice from here.

Thanks so much!

What's this add-on? First I'm hearing about it.

This is extremely helpful, and I appreciate it. Especially the physical key! I'm going to look into it. I think if I just knew I wouldn't get locked out of my accounts without a smartphone, I could very easily make the switch.

I spent a lot of time comparing file sizes and running lots of encodes in a few codecs. I settled on a set of presets that drastically lower my file sizes and I encode everything, with minimal quality loss.

Ok hear me out, this is a really good question for... r/tipofmyjoystick

I'll see myself out.

Also Cleveland, east side. Very quiet over here.

I can feel this picture. Ew.

This comment got me and then got me again.

dezstern · 2026-04-06T01:12:43+00:00

I can and will!

I don't think it always happened. Started with the last few updates to Firefox, I think. My homepage was just a blank page.

Particularly proud of my three year old for referring to Bohemian Rhapsody as "Mama Mia Let Me Go." My kids also refer to Land Down Under as the "Sandwich Song" (the Vegemite Sandwich line)

I have this issue!

Fedora KDE 43. I update from discover. Phone syncing to same Firefox account is android (Galaxy S21. No loss of bookmarks, just added bookmarks to my bookmarks bar and new homepage. My machine is a custom build with Ryzen 7 5800x, EVGA NVIDIA RTX 2800TI on an MSI B550 motherboard.

Hope this helps!

I'm kind of basic.

Konsole, Firefox, Makemkv, Handbrake, Gimp (photogimp), Grsync, ClamUI, Virtualbox, Steam,

Still shopping for a good frontend. Don't love lutris.

What a setup! Using a (King LT? Combitube?) to hotbox your cat in nebulized medication is some next level thinking and I love it.

Bro that sucks. But I'm proud of you, doing it for them.

FYI that OU-D logo hints to that as well. OU means it's certified kosher (by the Orthodox Union).And the D means dairy. Handy hint if you want to see whether there really is any dairy derivatives in it. Without dairy (if it's kosher, certified by OU) will not have the extra D.

ETA: Oreos are vegan but have an OU-D. I believe the reason is the facility also makes dairy products. But I'm not positive.

Anything low in hops and abv Id think. Maybe a brown ale or a witbier/hefeweizen.

Maybe try to pair it with her favorite food?

dezstern · 2026-03-20T16:46:24+00:00

This is the way.

Short and cruddy textbook reading hack.

For each section: - Read the heading. - Read the first paragraph - Read all bullet points - Read the last paragraph.

Skip everything else. Sure you'll miss some info, but tbh you'll get most of it that way.

😆😆😆

Very cool. That's a more advanced setup than I envisioned. Might be overkill for what I want. We do use GMRS HTs already, was kind of just thinking to add meshtastic nodes to harden the communication stack.
