It's like email: it doesn't matter if you have an @gmail.com or @microsoft.com address, you can send and receive mail to/from anybody. Lemmy accounts and communities consist of a name which includes the instance, just like e-mail.
That's it, I don't think a regular user needs to know more.
I robs your soul like facebook on steroids. I'm glad I got over the idea of finding someone online based on some self describing texts and vacation pictures.
I feel like even on tinder it's still the first impression that counts, but the first impression consists of meaningless bullshit, so even if you would connect with someone, the first impressions makes you loath meeting these peoples.
I am glad that I'm not the only one feeling like that. Fuck off tinder, bumble and the likes.
I feel the same way. Personally, I can't muster up excitement about getting to know someone just by looking at their last vacation pictures. I believe that a meaningful connection can only be established by meeting in person.
Going on 20 dates, only to end up feeling indifferent about everyone, in the hopes of eventually meeting someone I truly connect with, makes me feel like a grumpy old man.
because the word feminism has different meanings for different people. for some it means equality and a way to get there. for others it means men are bad and women should get priority treatment. communication is hard when there is no objective meaning for any of the words we are using.
Funnily enough, I like nix. The concept is way ahead of silverblue and the likes. With nix nothing is hidden behind a compatibility layer. I feel like if we really need immutability, nix is the way to go.
its an easy: sudo apt install task-kde-desktop; sudo apt purge task-gnome-desktop; sudo apt autopurge
In testing or unstable this can be a problem though.
I feel like, many people just don't understand exactly how a distro and package managers work. immutable os feels like it allows priotizing only on on a small core part of the distribution which is immutable and slapping everything else on via flatpak or snap.
i don't like it and i sometimes wonder if we are not going backwards with that approach.
I think another good analogie is the human eye. Only the center has high resolution, everything around it is rather shitty, but you never realize that, because the stuff you focus on is always in the center.
Try to look at your self into your eyes the mirror while you are not looking at yourself :)
Me too. Stable packages, unlike everyone thinks, doesn't mean it is bug free, it means that the software versions don't change. And that exactly lets me enable unattended-upgrades and forget about the server for years, without risking to fubar the system because of some config changes or new options
we had a paper with a bunch of Ys and Ns, so we could go through the autoexec.bat and config.sys step by step and decide which library to load into highmem or lowmem
I'm using debian unstable as a desktop OS on all of my 3 regularly used systems: 2 notebooks and 1 desktop. And debian 11 on citrix virtual desktop at work. debian stable on around 200 servers.
I rarely have bigger issues in my day to day usage of unstable which includes surfing, gaming and coding. at the moment my bluetooth headset microphone doesn't work, which i guess is due to some changes to pipewire but only on my desktop. both my work and private notebook seem to not have issues.
this is one of the worst problems i had in the last 8 years. other then that, if you use apt-listbugs to exclude any updates with serious bugs by pinning them until a bugfree version gets released, you wont have any more issues then you get with arch for example.
My comment wasn't meant as a jab against systemd or gnome, I was just curious if there are different solutions for an encrypted homedir.
I really like the direction linux, systemd and gnome are going! Big thank you to all the developers! <3
