i’m secretly @admin; sshhhhh
i’m also [email protected]
I used to be really into theming. But now, the default Breeze and Adwaita look good enough that I haven’t bothered wanting to change them in a couple years.
That and thmes always appeared to be some degree of “broken” that I just don’t bother anymore.
I do always change the cursor to the black Adwaita one, even on KDE. It just feels right to me.
When I did still use themes, Numix, Arc Dark, and whatever “flat” themes that I could find were my favorites.
a bunch of records from a retired local DJ ended up scattered in thrift stores around my area; I ended up getting a bunch of really good condition 80s disco and funk 12in singles
In the case of Brave and Vivaldi, they add their own undesirable parts (Brave adds crypto bullshit and Vivaldi is closed-source, so $DEITY knows what they’re adding).
Librewolf is open and doesn’t contribute to the Chromium monoculture; so it’s the best option
I live close to CNU and never knew this. I probably should have assumed something like this happened considering this whole region is built upon the exploitation of PoC.
The difference between the Fediverse and a closed system like reddit is that it’s open and we’re privy to haphazardly implemented functionality and bad API documentation.
I work on big closed source web apps for a living; they’re just as haphazard and badly documented, it’s just all closed.
I don’t think anyone liked it. More like tolerated it because of a combination of network effects and it being less shitty than Facebook.
At least, that’s why I was on Twitter. People I wanted to follow were there.
You could switch to the ESR branch, which gets feature updates much less frequently.
I never went to the homepage unless I accidentally landed there because of autofill. I normally just go straight to subscriptions. There are still recommendations under videos, so I check that out every so often, mostly because my secondary monitor is portrait and I can see them under the video
I disagree. I think it’s mostly a combination of baby duck syndrome and the perceived difficulty of gaming (unless you’re a kid who “needs” to play the flavor of the month over-monetized multiplayer trash)
For those who don’t want to read TFA: the brands are Gilead and NYU Lagone Hospital
Most of my time on Reddit was because of the constant flow of actually new content and “new to me” content (binging subreddits that I had just found out about).
Lemmy only has a constant flow of actually new content and it’s slower.
I’ve been switching between Arch and Debian for the past 5ish years. I don’t really notice much of a difference, other than Arch has updates much more often than Debian Testing usually does. I like how meta-packages in Arch are more minimal than the ones in Debian, but that’s a very minor thing.
Higher pay and a housing market carsh
I’ve been running mine on a cheap (€4/mo) VPS from Hetzner since my ISP doesn’t let me host from a residential IP.
My NAS is loud enough without lemmy; hate to see how loud it’d get with it
I joined Beehaw first because I like their philosophy, the admins seem pretty level headed, and they’re decently large. But they defederated from/were never federated with a couple of instances that I was interested in, so I made my own instance and am here now.
Listing only things that haven’t been listed
I’ve been distrohopping for the decade+ I’ve been using Linux. Keep coming back to Arch. Once I get the initial install done, everything works and I don’t need to touch anything.
Elon Musk and I’d post “im deleting this entire site, sayonara you weeaboo shits”
It works pretty well. There’s some issues with mouse focus capture on multiple monitors in Wayland (both KDE and GNOME), but using gamescope fixes them. I’ve been PC gaming exclusively on KDE/Gnome Wayland for the past couple of years and haven’t had any issues besides the weird mouse focus stuff.
At this point, it’s just “the news cycle”; no need to add on anti-trans.
Reading the news in general is just sadness
