I used to use cliget some years back. Quite a bit, IIRC. Long story short: company customer support portal, downloads would sometimes time out. Installing and using cliget saved me from many fistfuls of hair ripped from my head.

I got to wondering what sort of social proliferation the telephone managed to achieve in England by 1919. Nothing exhaustive, but this is what I’ve found:
By the 1930s, it was common for affluent homes in the UK to have their own telephones, with networks spreading far enough for calls to be made across several cities. The majority of callers continued to use local phone boxes or pay phones until the 1950s and 60s, when improvements in home phone technology made systems cheaper and more easily available.

1918
Leeds automatic telephone exchange was opened on 18 May in Basinghall Street - a Strowger-type manufactured and installed by the Automatic Telephone Manufacturing Company. It was the largest of its kind in Europe, equipped for 6,800 lines with an ultimate capacity of 15,000, and the first exchange in this country capable of being extended to give service to 100,000 subscribers. It was also the first in which the caller was required to dial five figures for every local call.

So for a cartoonist to be able to imagine having a personal phone at all in 1919, let alone a portable one, is pretty interesting. Maybe missed their calling as a sci-fi writer/illustrator :)
Is this where you come for an argument?
I tried Joplin for a little while, after having tried others. Found myself going back to VSC with Markdown preview.
But once I tried Obsidian? Aww yiss.
The first I’d heard of Obsidian was at the same time I heard about the Zettelkasten method. Which was thanks to having stumbled across this video: The FUN and EFFICIENT note-taking system I use in my PhD
It’s been a while since I watched it, so my apologies for not being able to give a TLDW summary.
Since adopting it for myself, I’ve found out that an old semi-retired dev friend, as well as a younger dev that actively contributes to at least 2 projects on GitHub (both popular) are keen users of Obsidian.
The best analogy I’ve found so far is “it’s like having an email address; having a different server after the @ is not an impediment to your participation. Just know that you can only login to the server where your account is set up.”
I’ve been using Signal for what seems like years now.
I’ve got 4 contacts (5 if you include a martial arts school I no longer attend), and only char with 2 of them regularly: my brother and sister.
I’ve downloaded and installed Briar, Session, and Simplex, and keep meaning to test them out with the help of my wife ('s phone) to see what they’re like.

“The call is coming from inside the house”
New to Connect. Is there a GitHub repo where folks can submit issues and PR’s?
“Who’s he when he’s at home?” would fit here.
Also: meh
No helpful thoughts, just had to comment on “big booty json file” 😅
Now I can’t think of a large JSON file without wondering if it has a donk.
E: “now in BBJF format”
Dumb question, but how were you able to determine that? Was it just a matter of seeing a post that originated from there (which would be my clumsy approach), or is there a tool/site that facilitates this?
I had weirdness when I tried to upload a pic using Brave on Android. Got the upload dialog, but no matter what it didn’t seem to do anything after I’d selected the image to upload.
Hit Submit, and suddenly there it was.
I’ll have to try this again using Firefox.
I misread your post initially. I though you had used one of the tools to delete all your posts, and got the “your account has been deactivated”.
I somehow managed to read this in the voice of John Oliver
Yes. Like others have said, the content hasn’t quite caught up in volume or diversity.
But I think another factor is that when I fire up Lemmy, it feels like r/all in that I’m getting everything. There seem to be quite a number of meme-themed
subredditscommunities that dominate my All feed. Now that I think about it, I should probably make the effort to block those; I’ve made that effort on kbin.In a way, I think it might be nice to have something equivalent to r/popular, fwiw.
Minor nit: “community” (“magazine” on kbin) doesn’t have the same ‘zing’ as “subreddit”. We need something like “sublemmy” or “sublem”.
