It will give a json response. Visiting a second time should return "Already claimed" if it worked.

This helped me to get around an issue I had with the link not loading on the main gog.com page when there was a free giveaway. (Credit)

Searching for replacement for Bibliogram, I found an website called imgsed.com .

It was sufficient to my needs.

One problem was that it seemed to fetch only a few comments of a post.

Here's the website's own About page:

imgsed.com is an online instagram backup tool that helps users save instagram photos through the instagram public API.

imgsed.com can't verify user information, so you need to pay attention to the copyright when downloading photos.

If you do not wish to be downloaded, please submit your information remove account

ETA:

Apparently it has crazy much ads, so use of adblocker is very much advised!

I used to use the /r/television sidebar but it isn't very comprehensive. More recently I've been using Wikipedia's 2023 in American Television page, specifically the debuts page, which is good. Some other countries have their own pages, such as South Korea.

Know of any other good places?

Samples from the original .umx (repacked Impulse Tracker module) files shipped with the GOG GOTY release were extracted using OpenMPT then rearranged, mixed and mastered in Studio One. No major arrangement or sample changes have been made in order to keep it close to the original, only more listenable in 2022.

Hey everyone! After my first week of settling in here, I think what would give my lemmy experience the biggest boost of any single added feature would be Multilemmys (or Multicommunities), so we can see the combined feeds of multiple communities in a single streamlined feed. I guess the purpose of this post is to spread awareness of this as a concept and point to the ongoing discussion on Github:

Support for grouping communities / multi-communities #818

Cross-instance 'multireddits', that are also automatic and topic-based #1113

Community Grouping #3071

I have seen users post that this was how they initially thought the fediverse would work when it was explained to them. I thought this would be the case as well when I joined.

(Edit to add: an older post with discussion on this idea including devs' thoughts at that time which shed light on why it does not work this way.)

Although I am new to this world, I feel this is one of the most intuitive abilities associated with the concept of the fediverse and that it MUST eventually be possible, the sooner the better.

This is similar to "multireddits", and the equivalent way to use them would be to combine feeds from different communities that are on the same instance, so for example I have one multilemmy to combine the feeds from /c/politics, /c/news, /c/worldnews, /c/worldpolitics (all on lemmy.ml).

Then additionally with Lemmy we have equivalent communities hosted across various instances, and it would be a new and different kind of ability to be able to combine these into a single multilemmy, so for example I have a multilemmy combining lemmy.ml/c/politics, lemmy.world/c/politics, beehaw.org/c/politics, etc.

I found this idea mentioned a few times around lemmy, where @deadcyclo@lemmy.world and @communist@beehaw.org pointed out the above open github tickets for these ideas.

Those github discussions were a fascinating read for me! Its clear that the boffins have already put a fair amount of thought into these possibilities, and identified questions that will need to be answered such as

• how to deal with communities that have the same/different name but are or are not actually the same subject
• duplicate posts and/or cross posts
• whether to cause automatic/default links or not
• how to implement this in a way that is of most benefit to the health of the lemmy ecosystem
• there seem to be two separate use-cases also: one being communities intentionally linking to share content and the other being a user creating their own custom combinations, either for personal or public use.
• how to handle subscriptions

Discussion continues even this week! After reading through all the ideas, I don't have any specific preference but I am excited to see what they eventually decide to implement as I'm sure it will be rewarding. Personally I think getting some cross-instance version of this should become a priority as soon as they feel they've adequately responded to the reddit migration, which I imagine would be a month or two down the road.

I gotta end by saying how happy I am to be here after leaving Reddit, this really feels like the start of something incredible. Cheers!

Today I learned how to tell VLC to use an audio track which is in a separate file, to play with the 4k video file I was watching.

It's not hard, as the linked docs explain:

• Go to Media -> Open Multiple Files....
• In the Open Media window, click Add....
• In the Select one or multiple files window, select the desired first media (the video file) and add it.
• In the Open Media window, tick Show more options, then tick Play another media synchronously. Click Browse and add the second media (audio to play).
• Then click Play
• (You may need to manually select the correct audio track if there is more than one now)

Of course if you need to synchronize the audio and video better you can go to the menu and select Tools > Track Synchronization to adjust as needed!

I'd gotten the video and audio separately via Invidious from youtube, because there seems to be no way to get a file for 4k video which includes audio straight through the UI. (Is there a good way to get a single file off youtube with 4k video and audio via some site so I don't need to merge or sync them manually?)
