I really like micro. It’s like nano but with mouse support. Not much difference otherwise.

Yep! It should work in reverse too!

I never used Apollo. Back when I used Reddit I just used the official app. Glad to see some Lemmy apps have left TestFlight though.

There are a whole slew of ways to look at this depending on what “glasses” you like to wear, and also the type of work involved. I work in grocery logistics, moving groceries from where they are produced to the store where you buy them. Here’s a few from my “lens”:

• They are looking at the long term office space leases they are stuck with.
• In person training tends to be more effective ( I remember reading a study on this, but can’t currently find it.)
• Most people suck at communicating effectively. Proximity seems to improve this. (Personal observation)
• Community (It is far easier to “other” someone that you rarely or never meet in person. Not so easy if they are showing you pictures of their kids every day. “Sally just got a new particle accelerator! Isn’t she so lovely! This is her sinking Manhattan!”)
• Leadership (I have to come into work to do my job. My boss’s job though is mostly paperwork. He could do his job from home but why should I care what he has to say if he isn’t in the same mud as me?)

My thought on this is if you want the flexibility of working from home, that’s fine. But don’t expect me to give a damn about what you think. The job is rough enough without an uninformed opinion trying to mess things up worse.

Ain’t that the damned truth!

I used to start with searching Reddit, though that has been of less help lately. Wikipedia is helpful for getting a baseline if I have no clue about a subject. Lately ChatGPT has been helpful there as well.

And then of course, all search engines still accept boolean searches but you kinda need to 1) know the syntax the engine uses and 2) have a rough idea of what you are looking for.

Sorry, no Google documentation was relevant.

Not too hard. Just alot of unfamiliar vocabulary. 😄 If you run into any questions with either of our walk throughs, (my linux one or @lemming934@lemmy.sdf.org 's Powershell one), feel free to DM me. Don’t mind helping folks starting their exploration of computers. We all started somewhere.

Nice! I knew someone would know how to do this in PowerShell!

Just search for tutorials based on the key words from my post and you’ll get there.

I am sorry for the RTFM post though. Been a rough day and haven’t been able to get near a computer to do a better write up for you.

If you don’t have an experience using the command line then it’s a tad more involved then I can explain in-depth on mobile. Best I can do is give a brief outline.

To start with, wescode/lemmy_migrate is a python 3 script. If you are running windows install WSL (Ubuntu), once you have a command line I am familiar with you will want to download the repository from GitHub to a directory.

You will then need to create a config file called migrate.conf Use the sample provided in the repo under configuration. Edit it to use your information. You can use nano as a text editor.

Then it looks like the command would be something like:

python lemmy_migrate -c ./migrate.conf

Sorry if that is crap help, but I’m not near my computer right now, and don’t often use Windows anymore to boot.

PS:

WSL is a program from Microsoft that gives you a mostly functional Linux command line within Windows. None of this is as complicated as it sounds, I’m using more words then strictly necessary to explain things somewhat at beginner level. The most time consuming part of this would be first installing WSL and then installing Ubuntu onto WSL. There are plenty of tutorials on how to do so.

Hopefully someone more familiar with Windows can tell you how to do the same thing from either the DOS prompt or from Windows PowerShell. It’s doable, (almost anything is) I’m just not familiar enough with either to walk you through it.
