Asahi Linux doesn’t support encryption and getting it to work requires a lot of steps and that I reinstall it which I don’t have time for, so I don’t have it enabled on my laptop, and if it gets stolen or confiscated I’m fucked.

I have it enabled on my server and phone.

no they’re just negative people

Call them “communities”, not “instances”

I started my self hosting journey on a Dell all-in-one PC with 4 GB RAM, 500 GB hard drive, and Intel Pentium, running Proxmox, Nextcloud, and I think Home Assistant. I upgraded it eventually, now I’m on a build with Ryzen 3600, 32 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD, and 4x4 TB HDD

I saw it as an open source Reddit alternative a few years ago and signed up, then left and went back to Reddit because nobody was using it. Then the API stuff happened, some Reddit users switched to Lemmy so I’ve been browsing it now, switched between a few instances and am now back here.

(I do wish it had more communities for specific topics and locations like Reddit has, and ironically a lot of FOSS discussion is still on Reddit also.)

Idk what people need Brave for, the only Chromium-only site I came across this entire year was the GrapheneOS web installer. LibreWolf is completely free of ads and tracking though so it’s better than Brave. Firefox’s news feed has been suspiciously similar to stuff I’ve browsed and it has ads also so I don’t trust FF either.

The tweet came several days after the LinkedIn post, people need to not just believe everything they see on the internet

Yeah the exact thing you described happened here as well, it’s a tiny bit annoying although not enough for me to switch instances over

Hey do you want to go get some pizza after work? BTW I love this new messenger called Lemmy, I feel so much safer that we’re not being spied on! C ya

I prefer LGBTQIA-bin, my computer was in the closet for 10 years so the git version takes too long to compile

I use Kagi and uprank non-shitty sites. I think there’s also uBlacklist or uBO filters that can remote shitty sites.

it has a gui installer (i use arch btw)

My friend on acid walking into a building and then making the absolute loudest most evil sounding laugh imaginable that echoed throughout the entire area

I’m addicted to my laptop and basically any social media platform. Block one and I’ll find plenty of others to waste my time on.

I hate Nvidia drivers most of all

nix/guix can be used on any distro and it provides a way to organize .config files so that if the .config directory gets deleted or accidentally modified for some reason, restoring it would be very easy. By putting the configuration in a git repo, it also makes it easy to restore previous configurations. I accidentally deleted a bunch of stuff in my .config directory once and that’s one of the reason I use this tooling now, so I thought OP would find it helpful also

When people want “Linux” on their phones they’re talking more about the ecosystem than the OS

Use nix home-manager or guix home and put your configs in a git repo (this is my guix home config for reference)

Captain represents capitalists falsely promising to fix our problems

Broken liferaft is the false promise (i.e. voting is going to fix our problems despite genocide, imperialism, deporting illegal immigrants, hurting homeless people, fracking, etc)

Fixed liferaft is what actually will save us (i.e. food, housing, healthcare, etc)

While everyone is hyperfocused on who to vote for, the capitalists take the rest of the food/housing/healthcare and everyone else dies.
