Lemmy is fairly small compared to other social media sites so instead of restricting yourself to a handful of communities I’d recommend browsing the “all” feed and just seeing everything.
Keep an eye on the instance each community is hosted on as there’s often a social or political bias.
You can then block communities and instances that you aren’t interested in or would rather not see.
Money also gives you access to resources to help you recover quickly and effectively.
Money also brings positive attention.
In another universe Musk is just a lonely incel. But as a billionaire there’s an endless line of celebrities, gold diggers, porn stars, prostitutes etc lining up to please his every whim.
As others have said, not with Linux Mint.
However if you were running an atomic distro such as Aurora, Bazzite, Project Bluefin, or Fedora Silverblue you can “rebase” from one to another.
With an atomic distro all the system files are immutable, you can read them but only the OS can change them. As there’s a clear distinction from user files (anything in /var or /home) the OS can simply replace all the system components with a new distro and re-mount your files.
One of lemmy’s biggest gaps has been it’s lack of creative writing. It’s great to see some of the popular fiction is finally reaching us
That’s not semantic versioning…
This is how you end up with echo chambers.
It’s fake internet points, the amount you have doesn’t matter in the slightest. There’s no reason not to downvote what you disagree with.
The amount on each individual comment does matter, as it affects how the algorithms order comments when showing them to other people.
You have no reason to so I presume you haven’t.
If we were actually in a discussion and you started downvoting all my comments I’d see it as a sign of pettiness and disengage.
I’d probably also tag you as a reminder to myself not to engage with you again.
This is precisely my reason for why they should be public.
In my view downvotes should be used sparingly, only to suppress spam and trolling comments that don’t add to the conversation.
By keeping votes private people just downvote anything they disagree with
Steam doesn’t fit OP’s criteria. They definitely prioritise profit over the user’s preference.
When you open the app you’re immediately shown pop-up ads ffs. And the app opens to the store.
You can disable the pop-ups in settings and default to opening your library by default but it’s difficult to locate the relevant settings.
Steam transformed the PC gaming experience for the better but I find people’s reverence of it is misplaced.
The confusion is because user friendly has a clear definition but you’re using it to mean something else.
You could consider editing to say user-centric, user-first, user-focused. Or re-wording to specifically state prioritising the user over profit
Why do you say Ubuntu is South African, Canonical itself is a British company and I can’t find why reference to how Ubuntu originated?
