Or a net in the toilet to catch your shit so it doesn’t splash and give you a so-called poseidon’s kiss

Why interfere with natures bidet?

That would be nice. If it got popular enough it might be a platform where you can assume someone is somewhat tech minded because they use it.

It could be a baseline for something in common.

Yeah like I said I wasn’t sure where to get information on orientation.

I’d be curious how those numbers overlap with average dating apps and match statistics.

I am not sure how reputable Zippia (or other sources) are when it comes to statistics but if accurate and similar 2022 the tech industry is still mostly men and caucasian.

I wasn’t able to find statistics on sexual orientation. There are a lot of companies vagluely bragging about how inclusive they are and not much in the way of stats.

With more and more people leaving mainstream sites like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook I could see not having to login with another social media platform being what drives people towards a privacy focused dating app even if the actual privacy portion is more of an after thought for most users.

I could be wrong but I think there are Lutris install scripts that help with that

One other website I’d check out if you are getting into any obscure/older games that might not have a lot of comments on ProtonDB is the PCGamingWiki. Lots of fixes are listed there

I think it was a lot of shortsightedness on behalf of Redditors. I feel like there is a lot less tiptoeing around here

Have you heard of ProtonDB? It rates the current state of games and recommended fixes.

Gaming on Linux has improved a lot over the years. It’s typically only multiplayer games with Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) that you’ll run into major issues with. Mod managers frequently require a fair amount of extra work and reading but I think a lot of Bethesda games have easy work arounds and documentation.

Thanks. I think dbzer0 will be fine.

The instance owner seems really on the ball when it comes to things like defederation and updates and like they have plans to keep the instance alive in the long term even with the influx of users. I might create a FMHY account and check to see how things are going.

I used to run a Raspberry Pi 4 in the same case for months at a time and didn’t have issues. I’d say you are fine

No. I typically do donations to projects I appreciate like Wiki Media through cryptocurrency and I don’t think that’s supported by my instance.

Upvote:

• I can tell some effort/thought went into the post/comment

• It contributes to the correct community

• Is somewhat original

Downvote:

• It doesn’t belong in the community

• Is spam

• Post/comment is rude or contains unnecessarily offensive material

• It’s a Reddit’ism such as commenting “This” below something they agree with

Neither:

• It’s a hot take I don’t agree with

• It’s been posted several times (including cross-posts because I typically sort by all)

I have a similar story where I originally went with FMHY up until it went down. I decided to go with dbzer0 because they have a similar stance for discussing piracy.

That said, as far as I know, they have the same rule as /r/piracy when it comes to requesting or linking to content which I don’t personally like. I enjoyed helping people find music and TV shows on FMHY. They also want to keep things SFW which I don’t personally have strong feelings about one way or the other but I’d prefer an instance with an indifferent approach.

There is crypto. You could take Bitcoin or if you want to be incredibly cautious Monero. It is an additional hurdle though for the average consumer.

Similar to the classic joke:

Why did the sperm cross the road?

Because I put on the wrong socks this morning.

Good luck.

In addition, I want to test myself how long I will stay away from social networks. I want to understand why community-based social media like Lemmy is addictive, what are the benefits and drawbacks of it, and re-learn how to use the Internet.

I think a big part of it is accessibility. If you are using your phone for social media then you have something alleviate boredom at a moments notice. It’s good to think about how you use those awkward amounts of time in your life and if using a social media service like Lemmy starts exceed those time periods and eat away at your day to day life.

I feel like Lemmy is at a point where you can browse by all and find a sizeable chunk of content you can interact with and we haven’t reach the point where people can go back and tell you something has already or is regularly posted in a community.

It’s nice but I don’t think I’ve felt any FOMO yet. I feel like Lemmy will continue to grow and feel this way for a while yet and I don’t think I need to really push to add content in the hopes it stays viable and relevant

2. Lemmy is now a real alternative. When reddit imploded Lemmy wasn’t fully set up to take advantage of the exodus, so a lot of users came over to the fediverse and gave up right away. There were no phone apps, the user interface was rudimentary, and communities weren’t yet alive. Next time reddit screws up in a high profile way, and they will screw up, the fediverse will be ready.

I definitely think having mobile apps is an essential step. I was looking at alternative platforms such as Raddle.me but using a mobile browser was an extra hurdle (similar to using the official Reddit app) that kept me from regularly checking in.

3. Lemmy has way more potential than reddit. Reddit’s leadership has always been incompetent and slow at fixing problems. The fediverse has been very responsive to user feedback in comparison.

I could see this causing issues later. We’ve already seen issues arise with some instances using the .ml domain or not being updated immediately.

Defederation is another beast all together. Most of an instance might be fine but a few problematic communities could create problems leading to arguments and, as much as I hate the term, drama.

I feel like a majority of the article is just looking back at what’s come out since 2020 and even then it doesn’t seem to use the progression we’ve seen to theorize about new potential devices.

But if a company does take a big risk to push the market forward, we have a responsibility as the buyers to reward that creativity with our support.

Producing a unique device takes a lot of courage and risk of failure. It is an expensive venture that very few are willing to attempt. But this is absolutely something that needs to happen some day.

These two paragraphs from the conclusion seems to sum up the writers thoughts.

ProtonUp is pretty neat. It’s a bit of an easier way to keep Proton-GE up to date
