It was the AMA that was the last straw for me, on top of everything before. It had been going downhill, but that was where I lost all hope it would improve.

If it were a new platform and somebody wanted to try that I'd at least watch what happens, but Musk has burned through too much credability.

I don't agree with you that small instances lead to poorer quality, if anything there's a better sence of community in a small forum.

I'd rather have more in common with old style unfederated forums than big social media.

You don't have to reveal your gender on here.

Not exactly, no, but a website can't reasonably be expected to cover everything and that wouldn't be desirable either.

What does "cloudflare so who cares lol" mean exactly?

Cloudflare is so good that you don't even have to care about your privacy because they've got it covered?

or

Nobody who uses Cloudflare would care about privacy, and for some reason that's worthy of a "lol"?

or what?

Yes, the term censorship in this context is particularly infuriating to me. It's not censorship since these are privately owned websites that can link to whatever they like, and users can choose whether or not to use them. When DuckDuckGo launched, before privacy concerns were such a pressing issue the fact that they filtered poor quality sources was one of their most advertised selling points: https://www.technologyreview.com/2010/07/26/26327/the-search-engine-backlash-against-content-mills/

Sobering up before trying to find ways of organising songs would be my first tip.

So what is your suggestion?

That type of thing is concerning. What browser are you using out of interest?

That's fine for installing patches to the same version, and updates to some major software, but you won't receive all the new features, and since versions are only supported for 13-months you'll stop receiving updates by then. It's good to familiarise yourself with the release cycle https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/lifecycle/

I would always out of habit avoid any links that go to somewhere other than the advertised destination - so if it goes to an analytics platform I would copy and paste the text if the text of the link is a URL, or find an alternative. Always hovering links and being absolutely sure of where they go should really be taught as standard practice.

Presumably you can hover over the link to see the actual URL (which I think is best practice anyway), or is it more sophisticated than that?

That's still not how you upgrade from one Fedora version to another. Please try not to provide information you're unsure about, it's irresponsible.

This is the documentation: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-new-release/

This isn't a correct answer to your question, that's why it's getting downvotes.

My biggest regret was getting rid of a perfectly good portable CRT TV that would have been ideal for pre-7th generation gaming, just as they stopped making good quality CRTs.

I'm about to get rid of my ageing "dumb" TV and not replace it. Everything comes in to my laptop now, so any monitor and set of speakers to plug it in to will do.

My prediction is that this is going to be the end of the line for TVs as stand-alone hardware - just like most people don't really have stand-alone Hi-Fi systems any more.

Europeans flying the flag of Europe.

Hasn't this happened every proms since brexit anyway?

OK well I'm not sure where the AppImage "purists" and Flatpak "critics" are but I've not really encountered them.

I'm going to just pluck this out of the air and say "been to more than three other countries" is well travelled - for someone in the first world that's not difficult and is an important thing to do for broadening the mind. Some people might say that's a low bar, but there are enough that would say it's too high as well which makes me think it's probably about right.
