More accurate version:
- Comment on What differentiates Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, and PieFed? 2 days ago:
Communities are largely similar, but the underlying hardware and tweaks are slightly different.
- Comment on My mom really love NBC Good News tonight. How come there isn't a show where they report on the good news of the day instead of all the bad crap all the time? 4 days ago:
If you only ever hear bad news, this can also demoralise and disincentivise people from taking action. That’s why I usually balance them a bit, to avoid doomscrolling.
- Comment on I suck at reading comprehension... what the heck does this law even mean? [8 U.S. Code § 1451 - Revocation of naturalization] 5 days ago:
Isn’t Signal readable through Israeli spyware the US bought?
Threema then, I’d say.
- Comment on Is there a place online to ask for Non Money donations? like books, jerseys, or whatever? kind of like go fund me or kickstarter without giving someone money kind of like a gofundme donations thing? 6 days ago:
Like a gift economy thing?
- Comment on Which Linux Distribution has the best Community Support? 1 week ago:
Live image and test?
do you mean I’d download a distro, put it on a USB, and then extract/open it in there, and test it out?
(and ofc, saving my data on my own desktop on an external hard disk, before committing to switch)?
- Comment on Which Linux Distribution has the best Community Support? 1 week ago:
Would it work for general usage too?
Within Linux I see ‘beginner’, ‘intermediate’ and ‘advanced’ users mentioned, but I’m not sure where I’d fall, or what those would roughly denote.
Like I’m familiar with what a terminal is and how it can be used for commands, I’m not like an old grandma not knowing what the big red X button does, I know not to delete system32 or to avoid sudo rm rf, but I’m not familiar with a shell, setting up an IP of your own, that stuff. I think this would label me as an average user for whom intermediate distros would be possible, but I’m not sure.

Re: the EndeavourOS, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed also has a nice installer, no?
- Comment on Are users data protected on the fediverse? 1 week ago:
Basically, the right to be forgotten? Afaik, on Reddit you have scripts to erase all message and rewrite/redact them with nonsense.
I assume something similar may exist for Lemmy, Piefed, etc.
- Comment on Awkward interaction with my doctor 1 week ago:
This is honestly the answer.
- Comment on What do you think of Paramount merging with Warner Bros. Discovery to create a new media company? 1 week ago:
Terrible, it should never be allowed that companies can grow this large.
- Comment on This is a federated test post from a nodeBB forum. 2 weeks ago:
Some forums still exist, actually.
- Comment on Heavy snow when you're a kid is a dream come true, heavy snow when you're an adult is a nightmare. 2 weeks ago:
I’ve experienced it. Loved it. Good infrastructure also helps, we have communal services that clear the roads and bicycle paths and salt it.
- Comment on Heavy snow when you're a kid is a dream come true, heavy snow when you're an adult is a nightmare. 2 weeks ago:
Disagree, heavy snow as an adult is still awesome. I almost never experience it anymore…
- Comment on How should Lemmy & Piefed handle voting activity from banned/deleted accounts? 2 weeks ago:
For positive voting you could look at how quickly accounts upvote after a post has been made, combined with how new they are.
- Comment on How should Lemmy & Piefed handle voting activity from banned/deleted accounts? 2 weeks ago:
It’s a shame honestly, I feel like Piefed without up/downvotes at all would work better.

- Comment on Blocking Threads 3 weeks ago:
I feel it’s better to not receive Threads content altogether, or severely limit it. What if Threads tries to overload us wirh a lot of it?
- Comment on Is there any limit to the amount of instances to federate with? 3 weeks ago:
In other words, it’s better to have multiple of the same communities among different instances, and not too big either?
- Comment on This past week, Lemmy has gotten really good 3 weeks ago:
This is why I have multiple accounts, one for the political shit and another for just relaxing. I try to limit the political stuff.

- Comment on 15 degrees fahrenheit feels almost the same as 5 degrees. However 35 degrees feels WAY colder than 45 degrees. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, -15 to -5°C is nice. But the range of -5 to +5°C… that isn’t fun…
- Comment on 15 degrees fahrenheit feels almost the same as 5 degrees. However 35 degrees feels WAY colder than 45 degrees. 3 weeks ago:
I just use this site (a bit of an unfortunate name, but it does its job)

-9.4°C, -15°C, and 1.7°C and 7.2°C, for those not using imperial units.
