  I think they are referring to the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. Kids publicly denounced, criticised and some even harmed their parents but we are not sure if they killed them. This was done to achieve several things. Destroying religious practices was a part of it.

  Recommended book:

  The cultural revolution : a people’s history, 1962-1976 - Frank Dikötter

  From the website:

  “I will not accept donations or sponsorships of any kind.”

  From Github:

  “If you ever want to contribute something, think about the people working hard to maintain the filter lists you are using, which are available to use by all for free.”

  I think I started with Mint 13. After hopping around for years I’m now on Debian.

  I recommend Mint to people in general. It’s perfect for most people. We shouldn’t be required to learn about everything in the world.

  I don’t expect anyone to become a mechanic just because they need a car. If that were a requirement then most people would just not get a car. It’s also okay to continue driving and never becoming a mechanic later.

  Sounds like someone is little bit cranky. You’ve been using proprietary software, haven’t you? It’s all right. Try this. It’ll help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've never said "I love you" to my sister⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends entirely on how you both communicate. I haven’t said it to my sister either and didn’t realise before reading your post. It’s all fine as long as you have a good relationship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon Spam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This year I’ve gotten about four that match what you describe. Before that I got maybe ten that were supposed to look like just normal people. Some of them often followed eachother.

  They have all been on mastodon.social, which is what I first noticed and found weird. Personally I’m on a small and niche server being run by a dude in his garage. I barely have any followers and don’t post much. There’s not many ways to just randomly discover me on Mastodon.

  Off topic but what’s the name of the app you are using for Lemmy?

  Jeg tror ikke det er nok av oss her, men faen… BÅDE svenskene og danskene, men ikke oss?? Flaut.

  **Translation: ** I don’t think there’s enough of us here, but fuck… BOTH the Swedes and Danes, but not us?? Embarrassing.

  It’s a nice feature for those that actively enable it and know that it’s enabled, but not for the average user. Most people never change the default settings. Firefox breaking stuff by default would only decrease their market share even further. And this breaks so much stuff. Weird stuff. The average user wants a browser that “just works” and would simply just switch back to Chrome if their favourite website didn’t work as expected after installing Firefox. Chrome can be used by people who don’t even know what a browser is.

  I love this. It’s on F-Droid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I already used Infinity for Reddit (which Eternity is based on) so it made the migration from Reddit to Lemmy really smooth for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The English word "four" has 4 letters. Are there any other numbers where the English name for them has that many letters?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Inb4 anyone start saying mean things to eachother. There are lot’s of people that have very strong opinions on this.

  Btw the people who think it ISN’T can eat shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the possible ways a computer can kill you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fire If you ignored the smell, maybe your house would burn down.

  Electrocution If you for example tried to disassemble your power supply while it was in use.

  Blunt trauma If you have a big computer on a shelf it might fall and land on you. This is especially dangerous if you’re a data hoarder. It’s a slippery slope that can result in you scalping stuff like old VCRs for drives. Your computer might get very heavy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'll show them⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not the official site. It has an old version (July 2024) and the file might contain malware. You can safely download the latest version from GitHub and find their updated guide there.

  If you don’t want to use Github, you can use the site they have linked to which is smarttubeapp.github.io

  I use Joplin. The functionality is nice, but visually the app looks a little outdated in my opinion. It’s worth it though.

  Norway has some of the lowest in Europe. Less than a third of Germany’s prices. Norway is producing more (hydro) energy than it’s able to use.

  That’s why it’s exporting some of it to other countries today. Before Norway did this their prices were even lower.
