As I said, the truth is I rushed it, I had upgraded to testing from stable and then tried to upgrade to sid, but it was a reciepe for disaster, lol.
Either way, I saw the dependency chaos happening, I was kinda uncertain which package was safe to upgrade (I had installed a debian package to mention buggy apps, but it confused me even more) or if the if any dependencies would change and cause a mess.
I then found nixos with its declarative nature which I found much less confusing and harder to break, so I spent around 4months testing it and then made the transition (this was the first time I was seriously considering transitioning to linux and I took my time to do it thoughtfully)π
Wanted a stable and cool system, so went with debian stable.
But stable was outdated for my taste, so I went to testing.
But testing had missing packets, so I tried to update to unstable, though I did it badly and crashed my system.
After resinstalling testing, I tried to make a semi-failed script to autodownload/update apps outside the debian repo, but I found out that nixos essentially did this, in fact much better. And I accidentally deleted my /usr/bin/ dir with that script, so I eventually went with nixos unstable:)
I see what you mean, I had made a very thorough post in this community on fetching and applying song metadata in batch, but it got too complicated and moving to linux (nixos specifically) made it even more complicated that made me realise I should figure a more automated and simple process.
I'd like to make a server and one of its functions is probably going to be a spotify-like service with jellyfin or something. I'm thinking of using streamrip with a qobuz token (I will also have to check the arr suite), but until I make that I'm a bit lazy and use lucida.
Umm, yeah, you'd have to make an account on hexbear or any other instances that federated with them, but hexbear shut down few weeks ago, due to a domain expiration (I think eventually something new might be created)
It's not exactly necessary to make an account for every instance, but you could have a few accounts on instances that federate with instances you interested in. I'm on mander which federates with almost all instances, apart from meta's threads and maybe one more I think. You could check the ideas surrounding an instance before making an account to see if it suits you.
Yeah, to check the instances an instance federates with, go to "instance-address"/instances, where "instance-address" is the url of your instance. For beehaw that would be https://beehaw.org/instances
I think the rest have explained it better, but I use a Mozilla account and I kinda trusted them, not so much anymore. I dont know if I'm a minority, I found this feature very useful.
I will probably keep using firefox until it goes too bad for my taste and switch to a fork and self-host a sync server
Lol, just to reply to the other two commenters, this meme includes androids, as this audio volume slider is from Miui/Hyper OS, the rom used by Xiaomi devices
Feels like they promote lemmy the same way microsoft promotes linux
