Heavy Edit: Just finished watching this documentary after reading this article. Truly a heartwarming story, but is definitely a tearjerker at times. Great watch.
I created my account a couple years before any of the recent reddit migrations. I am always interested in alternatives to the status quo and simply searched in DDG "reddit alternatives" one day and bam, Lemmy came up.
I signed up, but honestly I barely used it back then as the traffic was miniscule.
I kind of just hung onto this account and it ended up being my main social media outlet now that there's more people here. I'm hoping Lemmy thrives and attracts more users. It is objectively better than Reddit, it just needs more users and communities imho.
Given a long enough time frame, the vast majority of an immortal life would be spent buried beneath something or floating in the void of space. Think about it, you outlast planets and stars. When those go dark, but you don't die...nothing to do but float in space.
You might counter that with, "well yeah, but eventually I'd find other sentient life forms and/or people again.” And sure, maybe, but that wouldn't last as long as you...and then you're just alone floating in space again, for the vast majority of your life. The only thing to look forward to, since you will outlast everything, is the end of time itself.
Because it's not a bad thing to ask another person about their experiences in life. And putting it within the context of a particular life choice adds a layer of focus to the conversation.
Given your logic, no one should ever ask anyone else any question about their personal experiences other than to retrieve information.
Don't get me wrong. I'm enjoying the recent influx since the recent reddit migrations, while still staying niche. And I'm appreciating being amongst like minded, generally leftist communities here.
But if it requires opening up the floodgates to idiots, fascists, and trolls in order to kill reddit, so be it. As long as there are no algorithms, advertisers, and spez's, I'm all for more lemmings.
I use Thunder currently. My first Android Lemmy client was Jerboa, which was fine.
I've tried Voyager, and I can't remember right now why I didn't stick with it, but I ended up just gravitating towards Thunder. It's UI strikes the right balance between feature full and minimal imho.
Agreed. I mean, to each their own, but I've been open and tried the gamut of butt stuff more than a few times with a few partners, and I've gotta say...just not a fan of either giving or receiving anal. Oral, on the other hand...
Install the LibRedirect extension and fiddle a bit with the settings to automatically redirect to privacy respecting alternatives away from ad heavy sites.
To be fair. I get where they're coming from. Some people simply don't want to take the time to learn the Linux command line nor learn how to utilize the tool, balena etcher.
That said, if one says "Is there a way to simply install a Linux OS", I usually assume said person has at least a passing familiarity with burning an ISO as that is the bare minimum knowledge for starting the Linux installation process.
Hence my assumption that they were familiar with said tools when they asked the question.
I don't even understand the first sentence of these instructions. "Mount the device" followed by a bunch of seemingly random letters and characters. Mount it on what? What do I do with these?
These instructions require a very basic understanding of the Linux command line and file system. As does installing a Linux OS without a GUI helper.
Let's not mince words. Brett Kavanaugh is first and foremost, before anything else, a Rapist, who happens to be a supreme court justice. Not the other way around.
🥲
