I visited once and it is really funny how you drive through normal looking suburbs thinking “there is no way we are anywhere near Mintaka III” then suddenly there it is.

I love being able to have the small-forum feeling of my home instance but also feeling connected to communities elsewhere.

TikTok → Reddit → Lemmy → …grass?

This is my not-safe-for-Reddit opinion but I thought the S1 Klingons were great, interesting and impressive.

I have a feeling even the bottom 10% of Europeans are still contributing more than the bottom 10% of someone in India or Botswana. This Wikipedia page says that the average EU citizen contributes 117% of the global average carbon emissions (for comparison Canada is 307% and USA is 285%).

I agree re: Fedora, especially the atomic varieties. I do think Zorin is good at what it is but it has a pretty specific use case.

Also, had no idea you were also in this community. Pleasant surprise.

Had the same thought, it’s always nice to encounter a civilized person of distinguished taste and culture out here in the wilds.

Yes a very good point, the carbon footprint of the average Canadian is 10x that of the average Albanian.

Turns out good web design skills does not always translate into other skills.

Even without costs you will always have some faction of FOSS users who view UIs and user-friendliness to be something that can be optimized away (and will always, always, let you know their feelings on the topic).

It’s not a scam at all, Zorin is a good distro.

If an instance has a lot of spam, admins tend to notice and block it. In the future it’s likely admins will have more tools too, but for now the system works pretty well.

Redlib is browser based and will work on Windows. Here is a list of instances.

10/10 this is the future of Linux

Totally agree

This is so true. Indie games are legitimately better these days. AAA titles can have a good game at their core, but it always feels like you’re fighting with the game itself to enjoy it. From custom launchers and meaningless boring “side quests” and “achievements” to pad them out. Indie games are much better at cutting right to the point of what makes the experience rewarding.

I thought npr had 10 times fewer listeners

If you want to be depressed, Joe Rogan has 10 times that for single episodes.

fwiw I agree, but it doesn’t appear to be considered mainstream by the guy I was replying to.

Sad that NPR is not considered “mainstream” these days. Maybe Joe Rogan will post something to Facebook about it?

That is correct and echoes what I said

The Remote Watch Pass is only needed if neither you nor the server owner have a Plex pass: https://support.plex.tv/articles/requirements-for-remote-playback-of-personal-media/

When using an affected platform to stream personal video content remotely from a Plex Media Server, then one of the following needs to be true:

1. The admin account for the Plex Media Server has an active Plex Pass (which also allows remote playback for any other user streaming from that server)
2. Your account has an active Plex Pass
3. Your account has an active Remote Watch Pass

The remote playback restrictions do not apply to streaming music content to Plexamp or photos to our Plex Photos app.
