that just hurls meteor filled bugs randomly

I think you meant to say "bugs filled meteors"?

No, the possessive apostrophe doesn't apply to possessive pronouns. Apostrophes in pronouns are for abbreviations (like "he is" becomes "he's" and "it is" becomes "it's")

I have so much to learn. Last time I was tracking distros and having fun with distro hopping was with Slackware 7, I think.

What is ostree? What is bazzite? Time to google stuff.

There are digital business card apps like cardee.me and hihello.

I've used both and they're decent for networking in tech events.

Apple and its* policies.

Did you really have to use that stupid "fake news headline" phrase? Gross.

They kinda were for me. But then, I was young with plenty of time to spend.

Thanks!

So, this is only available for Fedora users?

What does rebasing mean in this context? I try to google it, but all I get is git rebase.

Any articles about it that are worth reading? Or if you can explain, that would be neat. Thanks!

even easier then fingerprinting.

1 hour video? Ain't nobody got time for that.

Summarized by AI (ugh):

The "Shipbreakers" YouTube video explores the issue of toxic ships being illegally exported to developing countries for breaking, with a focus on the notorious case of the Norwegian ship, the Tulip. Despite being on Greenpeace's most toxic list, the ship flies a bogus flag and its first-world owners deny responsibility. Marietta, a character in the video, expresses concern over the double standard of Western countries exporting their toxic waste while refusing to accept it in their own. The video also features Mittu, a shipbreaker who expresses his longing to travel but finds contentment in the present as he watches ships come to be broken down for survival. The scene is accompanied by upbeat singing, highlighting the contrasting emotions of destruction and contentment. The video also shows the dangerous and labor-intensive process of dismantling old ships for scrap, with workers risking accidents and injury to extract valuable resources from the obsolete vessels.

But did he have millions in his bank accounts or not? He had a damn butler and took a Russian ballet crew on a sailing trip!

If he went into the world "with no money," it was still his choice. At any point he could have said "you know what, fuck this, I'm coming back to my mansion." Not everyone has that luxury.

Come to think of it, growing up I remember thinking of certain scenes, like he goes to temples to meditate, "to find himself" or "fight his demons" or whatever, or joining fight club-style events with randos, again "to find himself" or for the fun of it, who knows - and even then I was thinking "damn, I guess it's good to have that much money to act like a clueless brat!"

No, come to think of it, you're right. I was thinking of communities that ban people in droves, but they still have a lot of members.

But the keyword in your comment is "enough." So, yup, again in theory, if they ban 99% of the whole Fediverse, they won't be the biggest community in it.

Thanks for the history lesson. I didn't really know lemmy.ml was the first Lemmy instance.

The command line is the natural way of interacting with a computer.

N-natural?

Plus there are many, many, many, many use cases for a computer. Even the ones you don't even think about, like bird sighting.

Yes.

But what would you have me do, stick my head in the sand and ignore what my government it’s doing? Ignore the growing control and power the rich capitalist ruling class have over us all year by year?

Believe it or not, yes. You can do this. You can still stay informed. Just don't be online 7 days a week. Fight off that FOMO feeling.

Nope. Not irony. It's a community self-reflection meta post.
