Text truly is a difficult medium. It doesn’t help that many statements that would have definitely been sarcasm a couple of decades ago are legitimately said by fascists these days.

I’ve been on the internet since 1994, and I was on BBSes before that from 1987, so that along with my ADHD means I tend to over-use emoticons to indicate the light-hearted tone of most of the things I write. heh.

Also I also overuse “lol” and “heh” and “meh” for those purposes, too.

I know some rail against the usage of “/s”, but really, it’s no bad thing. Sure it may identify some jokes that the author intended to be subtle, but in the days where these things are said by some people… it’s just necessary, alas.

Thank you, this gives me where to go looking next :)

Thank you. I’ll play around with available clients, then :)

As I am a Lemmy n00b, can you direct me on what to do to be able to flair users? I like most of the Lemmy method of things, but as an old.reddit user using RES… I’m finding the options a little limited over here so far. :)

You can’t tell they were joking around? :/

Well, I can tell. They are.

I’m passing by this discussion and just inserting myself in here to say: I’d be happier if reddit was more like it was when I joined - when it wasn’t the den of nazis, bots, and shills. Although the admins have always been libertarians^[1] and protective of the fascist point of view… but at least in the old days it wasn’t as pervasive.

But that aside, I agree with you in general.

Everyone can have different opinions, and thats ok.

Wrong. My opinions are the only correct ones. ;-)

I’ve tried to set various of these apps up in the past - I used to do tech support; I am a geek - and for whatever reason, I could never get all the parts working right. I assume many people can since they’re popular, but it just never clicked for me.

But I have a pretty good workflow - a seedbox running rutorrent which allows me to send magnet links to it just clicking them in Firefox, with emby installed so I can stream from the box - or easily connect via FTP to download when I prefer.

That’s the nice thing - there’s a number of ways to accomplish the goal, so finding the one that works well for you is what’s important.

That said, I don’t remember which ones these are, but I think it began with “Sonarr” to download music and the various somewhat-similarly named projects are about finding and downloading various forms of media automatically based on rules or searches or keywords or whatever. Which is nicer than my system of reminders that stuff should drop and I should go look for a torrent for it. :)
