Top from the past 6 or 12 hours works better than Hot IMO. It feels more like the traditional reddit front page.

I wouldn't call it cheap sin, but yeah it's a pretty accurate description.

I love how fandango have official Barbenheimer shirts that they are raffling off.

This is honestly a timeline for me instead. Started out with Ubuntu, Debian, Elementary, Peppermint; then did Kali for a while for work, then moved on to Antergos, Arch. I eventually got tired of my system breaking every few weeks, and now settled with Mint for the time being because I don't have the time to maintain a bleeding-edge distro and I just need something that works when I turn it on.

THANK YOU! I've been trying to figure out how to switch accounts since the latest update.

This is a good point and got me thinking of something that would be a better example. I understand the point that it's because they don't really care about some corporation without a face collecting their info, which is different from you who they personally know asking them to unlock their phone and give it to you.

Maybe a good example would be their baby monitor or home camera? Let them know that anyone on the internet can tap into their camera feed because those companies don't lock them down. Not that anyone is looking at it, but anyone could if they wanted to. Would that be a more convincing argument to ask if they are fine with that since they have nothing to hide?

Non-unionized I believe, unlike UPS. That's why I dread it when I order something and see it was sent via FedEx Ground. That's specifically the worst.

I feel like this will just accelerate warming even more, just even more concentrated. You're basically making smaller greenhouse effect situations instead of the entire planet.

Federation works a little differently. Having said that, it's not too far from reddit either. For example on reddit, as a basketball fan, I visit r/nba often. But then there are also other subs like r/nbadiscussion, r/nbatalk, and other subs that have overlapping content as r/nba. That's the same case here, except they are on different instances rather than subreddits. You can do the same as what you do on reddit and subscribe to the most popular instance community and that's it. Eventually as time goes by, the most popular community will become the "default" so you won't really miss out on content. If you really have FOMO, then subscribe to all of them; same as what you would do on reddit; but obviously you don't do that right?

It's the first step of installation, making a bootable usb/CD. Most non-technical people can't be arsed to create a bootable drive, then go into the bios boot settings to run it. I haven't used Windows in a long time so I don't know how it's installed these days, but the fact that it comes installed out-of-the-box when people buy a computer lets them skip the first and biggest step to running linux, which is getting it installed in the first place.

Distros have come a long way that a Windows user trying Linux Mint can hit the ground running. It's no longer about the learning curve for USING linux, it's INSTALLING linux that's the problem.

Yup, top for the last 6 or 12 hours is the best way to replicate the "front page" algorithm most people are accustomed to.

Unfortunately there are a ton of people with less than half a brain who still believe him anyway.

Sugar, especially in the US where it's literally added into everything. What's worse is the alternative (substitutes like aspartame) might also be a candidate and we just don't know it yet because enough time hasn't passed to study the long term effects. I try to take stevia as much as possible because it's more "natural", but only a few sugar-free products use it over aspartame. I read recently the WHO still considers aspartame as a carcinogen, but only in excessive amounts, like several glasses of soda a day.

There are tools out there that can create a bootable usb drive specifically with persistent storage. You can try Sardu (https://www.sarducd.it/sardu-multiboot-creator). I believe it has an option in the GUI to specifically enable persistent storage.

Maybe Privacy Badger can get on this. I believe they block trackers like facebook by replacing widgets and other stuff that are embedded on pages. Not sure how they can do that for individual unknown trackers though.

Yeah, everything has to be a visual aid, when it's easier to just read one page of instructions.

With mlmym.org, I don't even need old.reddit anymore to get the same feeling while browsing lemmy.

I was aware of mlmym but not alexandrite. This is cool, thanks! I’ll try it out today.

I spend most of my waking hours on a laptop because of work, so I browse reddit/lemmy on a desktop browser more than my phone.

It’s funny how when there’s no algorithm to dictate what you see, it’s furries and gay porn (for mastodon) that show up.
