Not that I'm aware of. The Lemmy APIs provide access to that data but I don't know of any existing tool that uses it for the purpose of exporting posts or comments.

All your old stuff will stay visible even after lemm.ee goes down, but it won't be linked with whatever new user you create on another instance.

If export and import of posts and comments was possible it would result in "duplicating" your posts and comments to your new account, which as you might imagine would be an absolute mess (not to mention technically infeasible - how would comment chains with other users work?) so you can presumably understand why it isn't.

It's quite annoying for sure (and I'm a lemm.ee user too, so I'm also annoyed with everything I'm losing) but this is the trade-off we accept with federation that allows Lemmy as a whole to be robust and keep going even without lemm.ee

Back in the early 2000s I was a teen on a 56k dial-up modem. There would be frequent connection drops, or if not that, my dad would simply kick me off the Internet so he could make a phone call. Trying to download large files through the browser would only end in tears, so a download manager that supported resume was absolutely essential.

I used something called FlashGet (I was a Windows user back then) which looking it up now apparently turned into a malware-riddled mess towards the end of its life, as did so many things. But it was an absolute lifesaver at the time.

What's the (de)federation like on lemmy.zip?

The best thing about ee was that it was federated with almost everyone

Still using my 11 year old Kindle Voyage (now running the open-source koreader software) so I wouldn't call that a bad investment.

e-readers may not be dirt cheap, but due to their nature as single-purpose and low power devices they have a very long usable lifespan.

Contact is amazing. there's no way it could be considered a "shitty lil movie"

It's science fiction done properly.

I like fresh spinach in this or that too, but yeah the bags are big if you just want to graze a few leaves here and there.

I normally use it up by cooking it. Spinach is one of those veggies that seems like a "lot" fresh, but when you cook it, it wilts to absolutely nothing.

Pan wilted spinach with some soy sauce and garlic powder makes an excellent breakfast-time toast topping along with a fried egg.

Creamed spinach with parmesan is a delicious and quite decadent dinner side that can pair with just about anything.

Now in hungry for spinach lol

Captain Picard very much became a Captain to all of us, I think.

Of course he's got some flaws for sure (his stubbornness, for one!) but he really set the bar for what a civilised person and a good leader should be.

He's principled, fact-based, fair in his judgement, respects the differences of others (both individually and culturally), solves problems with understanding and empathy rather than force, and he's forgiving of mistakes.

And he does all that while still being a "strong" man. In fact, it's these very traits which earn him the respect of his crew.

I'm glad I had Captain Picard as an influence in my childhood, rather than whatever youtube channel trying to make me angry for all the wrong reasons.

Yay! Amazing <3 I'm glad you got some good luck.

I'm pretty sure a lot of it is simply because that sort of mixing style is pretty fashionable at the moment. If you mix movies like they were mixed in the 90s and 2000's (i.e. very clear and distinct dialog) then they don't 'sound' modern.

Even in cinemas the mix is awful and almost inaudible half the time. Extreme example but I saw Tenet at the cinema and had to guess at half of the dialog because Christopher Nolan is especially and increasingly fond of this.

I was in Rome recently and saw smart cars and other types of micro-car doing this everywhere. Which makes complete sense given how busy yet small Rome is.

Can't park there mate
