I'm so damn glad I helped my whole family move over to Linux years ago.

I'd install it even if it's LFS

You can probably slap KDE on it and call it a day. Plasma has become less resource-intense in since about the 5.0 version (and remember to turn Akonadi off if you don't use it).

Thanks! It'll be really nice to see how many people are giving Lemmy a good try.

And then the USA and its EU dogs will hail Zelensky as a hero after sacrificing the whole population of Ukraine. The goal was never to protect the people, of course.

I used it as my main distro for about a year, and moved on right before the "abandonment saga" happened. It was a nice and performant distro, but lacked some stuff I needed, mostly support from a few projects and apps I needed to use.

I wouldn't recommend it as a main distro for at least 5 years after what happened, but would keep an eye out to use on a spare machine or a VM.

Nowadays I'd either settle on openSUSE Tumbleeweed for rolling-release. I'm personally more insterested in stability though (and not having to update stuff every 2 days or so), so I'm going team Debian.

Yup, that's the point. Most of the people who moved away from Reddit are the people who spent the most time there interacting and contributing to content, and those are the most affected by Huffman's crap. (edit) Most of the people who remained are lurkers, and if a platform only has lurkers, then who's producing the content? It's obviously an hyperbole, but it skews the userbase even more towards having more lurkers than posters, and it sets a trend.(/edit)

To be honest, I didn't even use any 3rd party Reddit apps (even though I was a serial commenter on things I had interest) before coming to Lemmy at the beginning of the protests. I only did so out of my own "moral" choice and because I'm a FOSS enthusiast.

Congrats on the milestone! @MicroWave@lemmy.world would it be possible (if you haven't done so already) to make one for Lemmy usage across all instances (or at least the major ones)?

Those Lego Pac-Man Arcade, Boutique Hotel and Orchid kits have my wallet running for its dear life :')

I was so in love with the icon I completely missed the "made with AI" part hahaha. Doesn't take away from how good it looks though, and from your good taste in color and style choices.

They all are already on WhatsApp though. All my phone contacts are WhatsApp contacts already (and have been before I added them).

If I need to interact with anyone who desires ultmost privacy I'm not idiot enough to ask for their phone number, and they'd be really out of their mind to share if that's the case.

But sure, I guess a cousin or smth might want to slap me in the face for "selling" data they already sold themselves years prior.

Dreamcast and both PSP and PSVita. I was a Sonic fan, and in the case of Sony's portables, they were mini powerhouses.

This is CUTE! Would love to see you creating one for Jerboa of you intend to create for other apps. Hell, I might use this one for Jerboa tbh (if you'd allow me to do so, of course). Great icon!

The biggest threat IMO is being exposed to Meta-curated content. They definitely use their algorithms to push narratives in their interest.

Being exposed to their users is being exposed to them by proxy.

How much of those 3% are comprised of the 1% who are active posters and the 10% who contribute commenting instead of the ~90% lurkers?

I'm willing to bet more than 20% of the people who left Reddit are frequent contributors instead of lurkers. Those are the users that drive traffic in the long run.

Possibly a server issue. I'm on lemmy.ml and got some lag issues a few hours ago.

Please, showing girthy shafts like this in public is such a shameless behaviour.

We can always keep a never in 10 years updated profile active for family and stuff. The biggest danger is for active users after all: they're the most vulnerable to targeted media manipulation.

By being present in their lives (while giving up as few data as possible to big corporations) they can have by their side someone with good advices on privacy, manufactured consent, rights violations and adjacent topics. Alienating ourselves from them isn't really beneficial in the long run.

I use WhatsApp as well for the people I keep in touch with, and have an active Instagram account where I use only the chat feature. It's enough to keep up with the people in my life.

For whoever is even more privacy concerned, it's possible to run those apps in sandboxed mode through some apps.

Or a duck tape

Having some experience with both Python and JS/TS, I don't have much preference about ternaries or expressions. Although I always break lines for ternary statements.

    
const testStuff = condition ? 
  outcome(1) :
  outcome(2);

  

Having everything on the same line ruins readability for me.
