i'm secretly @admin; sshhhhh
i'm also eleanorOpossum@beehaw.org
I never went to the homepage unless I accidentally landed there because of autofill. I normally just go straight to subscriptions. There are still recommendations under videos, so I check that out every so often, mostly because my secondary monitor is portrait and I can see them under the video
fr! I'll start calling it "X" when he calls his daughter Vivian
According to Betteridge's Law and my ever present cynicism, no.
But it would be so fucking awesome if he did!
Out of all the instances I've tried (barring the personal one I setup last night); Beehaw has been the best! The admins seem like really nice people and I vibe with the philosophy of the place. I just made my own because I've always had the idea in the back of my mind, but I wanted to see how well the Fediverse works out before I committed to it. <3 beehaw
The Arch wiki is pretty distro-agnostic (barring package names and pacman specific stuff). I've been distro-hopping for past decade and I've always used it as a reference for setting things up.
I was homeschooled and while I had a really good experience, I think that that is only because I was lucky enough to not have religious nutjobs for parents.
I'm scared for all the kids who will grow up physically and emotionally abused because their parents were afraid of some woke boogeyman in public schools.
Being a conservative
and accusing every progressive person of being a pedophile.
Could've stopped it there, the rest is implied.
Why tho? The Venn diagram of people who use Teams and enjoy it enough to use outside of the workplace and PC gamers is two separate circles.
Listing only things that haven't been listed
You could switch to the ESR branch, which gets feature updates much less frequently.
They do. sorta. It's definitely possible to put something like Starfield on a dual layer BDROM, probably even uncompressed! But then load times would be fucking crazy because BD is an order of magnitude slower than an SSD.
Distributing install files for a day 1 version of a game and using the disc as an auth key, (which is what they did last gen iirc) is still possible.
At this point, it's just "the news cycle"; no need to add on anti-trans.
Reading the news in general is just sadness
I disagree. I think it's mostly a combination of baby duck syndrome and the perceived difficulty of gaming (unless you're a kid who "needs" to play the flavor of the month over-monetized multiplayer trash)
a bunch of records from a retired local DJ ended up scattered in thrift stores around my area; I ended up getting a bunch of really good condition 80s disco and funk 12in singles
It doesn't really matter as long as you're on something with recentish packages.
I've been on Arch for the past year or so and it's been working pretty well.
I've used openSUSE, Void, Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu in the past for gaming and they've all been decent.
I'm just on Arch because I wanted a newer kernel and graphics drivers than Debian.
Circles, the thing I hit accidentally when blocking a corporate account
The difference between the Fediverse and a closed system like reddit is that it's open and we're privy to haphazardly implemented functionality and bad API documentation.
I work on big closed source web apps for a living; they're just as haphazard and badly documented, it's just all closed.
I joined Beehaw first because I like their philosophy, the admins seem pretty level headed, and they're decently large. But they defederated from/were never federated with a couple of instances that I was interested in, so I made my own instance and am here now.
In the case of Brave and Vivaldi, they add their own undesirable parts (Brave adds crypto bullshit and Vivaldi is closed-source, so $DEITY knows what they're adding).
Librewolf is open and doesn't contribute to the Chromium monoculture; so it's the best option
I used to be really into theming. But now, the default Breeze and Adwaita look good enough that I haven't bothered wanting to change them in a couple years.
That and thmes always appeared to be some degree of "broken" that I just don't bother anymore.
I do always change the cursor to the black Adwaita one, even on KDE. It just feels right to me.
When I did still use themes, Numix, Arc Dark, and whatever "flat" themes that I could find were my favorites.
Higher pay and a housing market carsh
9gag is a decent alternative if all you used reddit for was browsing meme subs and never commented. But like, I'm pretty sure that that demographic has already been using the official app.
It's a combination of Nvidia not supporting mixed refresh rates and mixed DPIs until like really recently and the open source driver not being nearly as performant as the closed one.
Same; especially with how everyone and their dog is releasing a Chrom{e,ium} reskin.
Most of my time on Reddit was because of the constant flow of actually new content and "new to me" content (binging subreddits that I had just found out about).
Lemmy only has a constant flow of actually new content and it's slower.
They were, but the porn wasn't popular until after Fallout 3 and is mostly based on their Fallout 3 and 4 models.
It works pretty well. There's some issues with mouse focus capture on multiple monitors in Wayland (both KDE and GNOME), but using gamescope fixes them. I've been PC gaming exclusively on KDE/Gnome Wayland for the past couple of years and haven't had any issues besides the weird mouse focus stuff.
The XDG Base Directory standard has kinda sorta been doing that; and I like it. Not everything supports it; and it's not perfect, but at least it's better than the wild west that application configs used to be.
Elon Musk and I'd post "im deleting this entire site, sayonara you weeaboo shits"
I've been switching between Arch and Debian for the past 5ish years. I don't really notice much of a difference, other than Arch has updates much more often than Debian Testing usually does. I like how meta-packages in Arch are more minimal than the ones in Debian, but that's a very minor thing.
I've been distrohopping for the decade+ I've been using Linux. Keep coming back to Arch. Once I get the initial install done, everything works and I don't need to touch anything.
I've been using Android phones for a decade now. My Pixel 6 is the best experience I've had with Android in those 10 years. I've had an OG Moto X, a Galaxy S9, a Pixel 3a, and now this 6. (I also had a brief stint with an iPhone in 2016)
The 6 and 3a have been the only ones that I've had without a manufacturer skin or carrier bloatware and it's been pretty great. The Pixel 6 is the only phone I've had matches that iPhone I had in terms of polish and reliability.
I used Voat back in the day, from the beginning, when it was still called Whoaverse; to right around when it became a Nazi-filled shithole. But that doesn't really count too much since for a good portion of that time, it ran on a modified version of the old open-source reddit code. Whatever it moved to in the short time before the new ""community"" ruined was pretty decent; lemmy-ui reminds me of it a lot actually.
I used to be big into Imzy too, before it shutdown. Its software was somewhat like new Reddit, but like, actually performant and not a bug-riddled mess. I still miss it, but the lemmyverse, especially Beehaw, is filling that hole.
I've also used the old guard of forum software, I don't know what ran what because I didn't really pay attention to that kind of stuff as a kid.
I don't think anyone liked it. More like tolerated it because of a combination of network effects and it being less shitty than Facebook.
At least, that's why I was on Twitter. People I wanted to follow were there.
I live close to CNU and never knew this. I probably should have assumed something like this happened considering this whole region is built upon the exploitation of PoC.
At minimum; school should give you the tools to be able to figure out how to do taxes/basic house maintenance/etc. But also, sometimes people need a little extra help; and we should have some sort of system to help people learn those things.
The plight of the adult gamer with an amount of disposable income. Too many games to play and not enough time.
I get stuck with those problems most of the time I open my Steam library. Too many games that I haven't started. Too many that I haven't finished. Yet I still find myself rotating between the same 2 or 3.
I'm not a streamer; I feel that people watching me play would be waaaaay too much stres.
I've seen both AntennaPod and PocketCasts mentioned; I've used both over the years. I liked AntennaPod; the only reason that I stopped using it was because I switched to Spotify since that let me pick up listening from where I left off on my desktop. I moved to PocketCasts afterwards because I've been slowly trying to get off of Spotify (and because they open-sourced their mobile apps). I don't like that they require premium to have it sync with the webplayer, but it works.
I've been running mine on a cheap (€4/mo) VPS from Hetzner since my ISP doesn't let me host from a residential IP.
My NAS is loud enough without lemmy; hate to see how loud it'd get with it
For those who don't want to read TFA: the brands are Gilead and NYU Lagone Hospital
