What are some good European Lemmy instances?

Out of the box Firefox is definitely not very privacy conscious, better than Chrome no doubt, but worse than Brave. It can be configured to be better than both or one can use Librewolf/Mullvad browser
Hold on I got it, Place but...
Yeah, I mean, you are technically right, which is the best kind indeed!
Extend
That's what I'm saying! It might be technically excellent, but one of the reasons I went away from Reddit is also to escape the aggressive data collection
Nick is a real one, I'd be lost without his tutorials!
It's really telling of how much great software needs great people to showcase it for it to become more widespread, just like Blender for instance
As far as I'm aware you give an HTTPS link with matrix.to, I wasn't able to find a method like mailto
, tel
etc.
Then you can use all the usual methods of obfuscation on that URL
I like it, though it feels like a slightly different spin on 43's wallpapers
This is crazy good! It looks so much like the real thing
Yup, if they could tech, they'd be working in the field instead
It's not illegal, but you better not fuck up, because we ain't covering that
- The manufacturers
Relevant:
Yeah... After the GDPR became a thing
Amazing to see!
By this point do USB sticks make sense anymore as opposed to a super fast SSD inside an enclosure? It seems like the former hasn't seen any technical progress in years either
Windows
Uhhh, well I'd say it's more like a hypervisor if we're really pushing it with WSL
Because it's true ( •̀ ᵕ •́ )
Bro didn't know that he was about to post a timeless banger 2 years ago
Maybe it's just me, I know that it literally means "any time", but I always felt it is used to say "very soon" in practice.
Anyway, I was just curious, I wouldn't want them to rush it
Shouldn't that be a FreeBSD user?
Not everyone has affordable and convenient access to such services around them.
Anyway, when did batteries become such advanced technology that they require specialized personnel to have them replaced? Do you want to bring your TV remote to them too?
It's ridiculous honestly, I replaced three modern phone batteries and every time I need to watch a disassembling video to be sure I don't mess up something along the way, then I need a heat gun just to get into the phone, all that to simply replace a battery, risking to damage other components with the heat or when removing the things by force.
By the way, is your service really that affordable or do you pay regularly for an insurance on top of that?
I usually end up in need of redoing a fresh install until it breaks up again.
That's common when you start adding random PPAs, running some commands without understanding (we all do 👀) and whatnot, but you can save yourself from reinstalling over and over by using an immutable distribution so at any point you will know what changed in your system and if it breaks you can just roll back to the previous working point and either fix your mistake or wait for a fix from upstream when an issue happens there (this year there were a few kinda major hiccups on Fedora for example).
I suggest you try one of the Fedora immutable spins (Silverblue, Kinoite, Sericea) or Vanilla OS, though I would hold off from it until Orchid comes out.
If you want to go all in you can use NixOS, but it takes a lot of reading
It also wants to know how stupid my screen is for some reason??
Everyone talks about the fact that Bash is what it is because it is first and foremost an interactive shell, but nowadays some design decisions are just inexcusable in my opinion, like the awful syntax of common programming constructs, the if in particular, that would only benefit from following how every other language works even if they aren't meant as shells.
Some also argue against the non-modularity with the fact that you should use it for only quick and easy stuff, but that's just an excuse, if the language runtime that comes preinstalled in your system had modern features and sane syntax you would stick to that and save yourself from installing Python/Ruby if they're not needed; and it is clear that there is a need for modularity, otherwise plugin managers wouldn't exist, many swear by downloading the scripts directly and sourcing them in the name of "KISS", but that is just silly when there is a good system set in place that makes it actually easier to manage it all.
Then there's the issue of the holy pipelining, that has more or less been overcome by some languages already, this example in Rust shows that it can be easy, so there's no reason why a terse scripting language couldn't achieve the same.
In the end I don't know what's holding the landscape back, I noticed Xonsh that looks very interesting, but I never tried it, I wonder if it is POSIX compliant and if that aspect even is so fundamental to the success of a shell
what stops lemmy.world from connecting to them and sharing the same content ad free?
That's true, I hadn't thought about that, but I wonder if he thinks that maybe Tumblr isn't popular enough to see a big loss in doing that, since at most it would just get more interactions from a community that wouldn't have joined a proprietary social network in the first place, so the missed ads would have always been missed, while in this way he gains more "free" engagement
About the porn, they could probably defederate from the largest NSFW instances at least
Lmao, I'll need to use this more frequently
Performance is a little lacking though, on the other hand it is very very featureful, it certainly has that going for it.
For when I need the speed more I enjoy using Olive a lot
I can see what you mean, though I still find it just harmless humor
Oh I see, thanks for specifying! I didn't look too much into it at first and just assumed it was US based (now that I think about it I don't even know why lol), I'll keep it in my list
Really putting the fed in the Fediverse!
They can be failry small though, no? The NVME form factor allows for something that is maybe two times longer than a usual USB stick, so it's still reasonably small and a tad harder to lose
We're looking to create a comprehensive list of the most popular Linux distributions and the reasons why people use them.
I'm curious, do you intend to put up the results somewhere?
When sh.itdont.works
If that's your only gripe with it, you can still access them by using one of the simple web servers available running inside Termux, that will also allow you to avoid CORS related problems, in fact it is the currently suggested method on MDN
I mean you'd be running the server only when actually needed, but I understand it is a bit of a hassle to do every time as well
That sounds like a job for btrfs snapshots, they're provided by default in openSUSE
A walking GDPR violation
This is more like internet culture tho?
