  • The most approachable distros are Ubuntu based IMHO. That means Ubuntu (full featured, great interface, but can be slightly more demanding on old hardware), Lubuntu, Xubuntu (Ubuntu based, but with more basic desktop environment. They may be snappier on old hardware but not as fully featured), Mint (already mentioned here, generally considered the best of both worlds).

    If you want to use very limited hardware, you might also consider a distro like Puppy Linux.

    If you are new to Linux, the most overlooked consideration is the community support. You will have things come up that require help to do/fix. A strong, active community means you will have a much easier time.

  • What kind of problems? So many others present it as virtually worry free.

  • Well, that means that he's surely learned his lesson and won't ever do it again! /s

  • If I already have a handful of WiFi devices, do you think it is worth it to replace them? Say, 4-5 switches. I'm planning to invest in a few more and a home thermostat. I certainly want to commit before buying a thermostat, since they tend to be a little more pricey.

    Is there a greater danger of ZigBee not being sustainable over decades? WiFi will probably be available for the remainder of my lifetime because it is already so ubiquitous.

  • What unpaid Trump loyalist intern came up with this idea?

  • "Well, you have to let us do a little harm." ¯(ツ)_/¯

  • I think you misunderstand the phrase as I'm using it.

    Time is always on someone's side. It's the nimble, the patient, the determined who win. MAGA is more nimble than the institutions that oppose it. It's been more patient and focused than the opposition which has been constantly chasing after the latest shiny object of the week/month/year rather than anticipating the need for focus and unity. The bad guys are winning and they are not slowing down; we are falling further behind.

  • There are all sorts of mechanisms in the USA to stop this from happening as well. However, Trump spent the first term embedding loyalists in the courts and congress, so there really is not much left to stop him. If the people who are there to act as a check on presidential power are in on the game, then who is left to enforce the law?

    Prosecution takes a very long time and authoritarians move very quickly. Time is not on our side.

  • "We're leaving X" would be the better translation, I think.

  • That's why we should be conscientious about directing communities to an appropriate instance. If they want to post about political violence, there's a place for that.

    If they are LGBT, particularly trans, then blahaj is particularly well suited for example.

    Just because I happen to be on .world doesn't mean I necessarily think it's the best place for every community. I would have to be pretty stupid to come to the Fediverse and oppose Federation.

  • That's exactly right. Different instances will be more sensitive to different issues, but hopefully that means there's a place for everything.

    There are instances where posting guillotines will be removed and there are instances where that's permitted but pictures of Winnie the Pooh might be removed.

    If people want to talk about anti-authoritarian violence, there is lemmygrad, etc.

    I'm more concerned with the fact that a lot of reddit LGBT and particularly trans communities were banned. That could never happen on blahaj.

  • We need anyone who is still on Reddit or has an old account to get over there and let folks know that there is a great community here and we would welcome them!

  • Hey, mod here. You should consider posting this in !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca

    I'm removing it from here because this community is for posting news articles.
