Stop all the hate for nuclear. It’s just a way for the fossil fuel industry to cause infighting among those of us who care about the climate. If we can make energy free or close to it, we should. The closer everything comes to being free the better.
Your mom would do just fine on Mint, and you know it.
Or, please, trains.
I have an Nvidia GPU and have had no problem playing BG3 or Diablo IV, for instance. Nvidia drivers are a lot better than they used to be, at least by my estimation.
Right. So, I don’t get why it should matter where, exactly, the bar of soap goes.
It’s all about feel. Mechanical keyboards just feel so very good.
edit: Actually, I’m wrong. It’s also about sound. There are silent mechanical keyboards. They just aren’t of the Lethani.
Isn’t the soap that touches the body ablated by friction with the skin?
I switched to Firefox when I switched to Linux. It’s great. I remember when firefox/mozilla was the go-to browser. It could be again.
Have you tried Linux?
I know that we all love decentralization, but not everyone will buy into it as a concept, unfortunately, and that is their wont. As long as we have a community that is large enough, it doesn’t matter that it isn’t mainstream. It would certainly be nice to have more diverse voices, though.
Wow, this is me.
It’s a bit of a mixed bag. I do enjoy Lemmy. I think that the conversations that take place here are interesting (though many now revolve around Reddit in one way or another). I don’t really find the front page to be as good as Reddit’s.
And then, of course, I think the most important difference is that Lemmy draws a specific type of person, even after the Reddit migration, and there aren’t as many of us as there are average Internet users. I’m not saying Lemmings are a special breed; rather, I’m saying that we’re the sort of people who might have used Usenet at its peak. We’re the sort who might be Linux users. Many of us are morally aligned with open source technology and the ethics thereof. This makes the discussions a little less diverse on Lemmy than they are on Reddit (which can be good and bad, depending on the sort of conversation).
If only Bungie would let me play Destiny 2 on Linux.
No, the death of the internet that killed the old Internet continues.
edit: and maybe that’s a good thing.
It’ll be even worse when there are no new series to watch because all of the people who write them are on strike. The content mines are drying up.
I think you’re right insofar as onboarding is concerned. Once you’ve registered, though, Lemmy is relatively straightforward to use. Changing your user settings to display posts from ALL federated Lemmy instances on your front page helps with discoverability. That should be the default setting, but it isn’t. That setting is associated with the “Type” parameter (found just below “Theme”). It isn’t terribly obvious.
I genuinely would like to know: what is the appeal of microblogging, such as Twitter and Mastodon? How does one get the most out of it?
I want to talk about trains.
