For some reason it didn’t work for me. I added my desired profiles to the EasyEffects “Presets Autoloading” window, but when I plug/unplug my headphones it doesn’t load the desired profile. I’ll try to check in another computer if it works there. Maybe I have some misconfiguration. Thanks! :)

I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong, but I have a secondary SSD in my laptop that I mount on /mnt/elyssa and in every DE and distro I tried it appeared as a removable drive with the “eject” button. Right now I use Fedora with Gnome and if I install this extension or enable the removable drives option in Dash to Dock, it shows me that drive. Maybe some mount option in Gnome Disks, but since it’s not that big of a problem, I haven’t looked too much into it.

Something like that happened in the book “The Martian” by Andy Weir. I loved that part!

I always liked what Charles Darwin wrote to J. D. Hooker in 1853:

After describing a set of forms, as distinct species, tearing up my M.S., & making them one species; tearing that up & making them separate, & then making them one again (which has happened to me) I have gnashed my teeth, cursed species, & asked what sin I had committed to be so punished […]

It describes perfectly the feelings of a biologist while doing taxonomy work.

I mean, I mentioned that my experience with Pixelfed has not been the best, since it lacks content and discoverability. I wouldn’t sign up again to Instagram (I deleted my accounts years ago), but it’s obvious that it has orders of magnitude more content, and maybe the recommendation algorithm can be useful sometimes.

Personally, even if I don’t want to, I have to use WhatsApp since everyone in my country uses it, even government offices.

Yes, that’s exactly it: the discoverability. I joined a small to medium server, and I thought that Pixelfed’s search would be like the one in Mastodon: search for a hashtag and get results from all of the other federated servers, but no. The search function doesn’t seem to work with hashtags, so subscribing to one is a pain.

And the available apps are not very good. And the official one hasn’t been released yet.

Besides Lemmy, I have a Mastodon account. I’m not very active, though. I’m also on BlueSky, but because most of the post where uninteresting to me I uninstalled the app months ago and hadn’t logged in since. And I’m exploring Pixelfed, but my experience hasn’t been so good.
