Yeah, the mastodon-style interface lends well to real-time events like sports, as you mentioned, or news. Because it's just a feed of what's going on.

Well, the reason I use it is because it generally tends to carry the newest versions of the tor software, where something like Orbot is quite far behind.

I use it, but I don't use it in VPN mode for my entire device. I use it in proxy mode so that things that are specifically looking for tour on local host, 1950 will connect through it and it seems to work fine for that purpose. I use it for f-droid and SimpleX

No, i never did. I heard it has quite a bit of issues, but that mbin is attempting to fix them

The system is working as intended, support ticket closed.

SO DAMN TRUE!

Fair enough, I generally think prosecution is a bad idea if it can be at all avoided because then taxpayers have to pay for that person to be prosecuted in court and if they end up guilty have to keep them in jail and I don't agree with that if it can be avoided.

I consider a store to be more of a corporation because of the fact that I can't go up and talk to the individual who runs the thing in most cases.

I would like to see lemmy be able to browse masto profiles though. Currently, if you load up a mastodon user's account, you will generally see no posts because they have no community attachment. My thought would be to make a default community called like null or something and pretend that all their posts from their profile are in that community so that you can at least see them. By doing something like that, I also would not have to go back to mastodon to look at announcements from services such as proton or monerujo.

So far out of all the fediverse i have found lemmy fits me best. So many other things want to mimic the X interface and that promotes more following of individuals and whatever they post about rather than ideas. I do much better over here because you follow a general topic and the posts are about that thing or related things. And I find that I do better in comments than making original posts. Like, I am a very introverted person, so have trouble getting a conversation started. But when I see a conversation of interest, I can generally add something to it.

I would agree, except do not criminalize individuals selling to other individuals, but if it's stores then I completely agree.

I buy mid-range devices, so while I haven't gone out of my way to get a device with a jack, my current device still has one, and it is the OnePlus Nord N200 5G, but if I did not have it, I would not be upset about it.

That's definitely true. And community moderators should consider at least trying to move their communities to smaller servers. Now that they've got some bigger subscriber numbers.

Why not relegate Windows to a VirtualBox environment? That way you can just turn it off when you're not using it and not need to reboot. You can use the guest additions and everything to get your proper native screen resolution and pass through USB devices etc.

This is a really hard way to learn to keep your personal accounts off of work devices. That has to hurt.

Honestly, we see where banning things gets us. Millions of people in prison and or killed over these things because there's black markets for them because people want them.

No, I completely get where you're coming from. As a blind person, they are just terrible. Because instead of saying what people want to say, they just post this damn picture that I can't read and completely kills any conversation. I block all communities that I can for memes just because it's pointless for me to have them show up.

For me, it was originally just an experiment because oh, I've heard about this thing and I'm curious about it. This was on my school laptop that I had managed to obtain administrator permissions on by cracking the password and installing VirtualBox. It was a Dell Latitude D505 with like 512 megabytes of RAM running Windows XP. The very first distro I booted was Ubuntu 10.10 and Oh dear God was it slow as shit. I knew that it was because of Windows, and so did not judge it for that reason, but judged it based on user interface and ease of use, which I found good enough to play with and continue messing with. Then I had a summer camp thing that I had went to with coding and we had to use a Mac in order to do it and I was used to Linux in the way Ubuntu worked so it wasn't hard for me but for other people it was difficult because of the interface change. That particular place is where I learned about SSH and SCP and started really playing with making web servers on them. And as they say, the rest is history. I've been running Linux 100% for around 5 years now, and just keep a Windows virtual machine around in case it's necessary, which it proves to be very, very rarely.

Install linux mint on their computer

What I mean is that since Lemmy is decentralized, the entire network can never be down. A few instances can be down, and your particular instance can be down, but the entirety of the network can never be down.
