Lots of firmware and driver updater programs seem to require Windows or Mac and I can't get them to run with wine. For example, I need Win to update the firmware on my car stereo and my 8bitdo game controllers. I also need it to run the tax software my CPA uses.

Thanks for this! I'm so glad to see an audible alternative.

EDIT: I signed up for a free trial and will give it a go. Bummed to see they have a much smaller selection but I guess that's expected with Amazon's muscle.

I know it got sold twice and I am worried about the future but I believe they still have the same purchase and download options for now.

Pretty much everything you cook should have salt added or it will taste bland. Salt brings out other flavors. There's a reason "under seasoned" is an expression that often simply means "under salted."

Me too. I love that in order to prove I have a claim for my deleted account, I can submit my email address. My account was deleted, Facebook. Why do you still have my email address? Why do you still have records tying it to my deleted account?

I have been looking for a replacement for Nova due to the sale but haven't found anything that comes close re gestures. I can set up a folder with any icon I want. Tap on it and it opens the folder. Swipe up on the folder and it opens whatever app I want. Same with swipe down.

So for example I have a folder with my audio apps in it that looks like a musical note. Swipe up and it opens my music app. Swipe down and it opens my podcast app. Tap and it opens a folder with all my audio apps. It's amazing and such a time saver. I'm gonna try Action. Sounds like it's not quite as customisable but hopefully close enough.

Thanks for the tip. I have a random "Pluggable" brand docking station that works fine with Windows but not my Linux laptop, neither with Zorin or PopOS. I get nothing from either monitor and can't get DisplayLink to properly install on either OS.

I will look into Dell. Do you know of an easy way to tell if DisplayLink is required? I'm looking at this one and don't see it mentioned:

I'm not sure what that's about. I tried with lemmy.one and had the same issue. For me it works great with lemm.ee and lemmy.world. Guessing it's a big that's hopefully getting worked on.

I just switched from connect to Liftoff. I am liking Liftoff better. Looks nice and I like that comments collapse with one tap, and up/down vote arrows and the reply button are all shown in the comments as a default (rather than having to tap or swipe to see the arrows).

Liftoff also has better formatting options. Here are a few screenshots:
