Hopefully this will lead to them just using vapes instead of cigarettes and not them trying to illegally get cigarettes. I’m still on the fence on whether I think this law is a good idea in general or not but allowing them to still buy vapes / vape liquid is definitely the right decision IMO.
I really don’t get why people care so much about the political opinions of the devs, you’re just using the software they’re making and not hanging out with them or something
I really hope Libreddit switches to scraping, the “Error: Too many request” thing is so annoying, I have to click the redirect button in Libredirect like 20 times until I can actually see a post.
Still a better experience than Reddits official site tho.
I use Gnome and IMO it uses the space pretty efficiently, especially because it puts a lot of stuff in the title bar and doesn’t really leave unnecessary unused space
Canonical are currently dealing with a security incident with the Snap store, after users noticed multiple fake apps were uploaded so temporary limits have been put in place.
Big issue with snaps for me has always been the proprietary backend and that they try to make a new standard instead of improving flatpak which most distros have alrady adopted
The new Plus category of Chromebooks is an assurance that you’ll get a higher level of performance and features but still at a reasonable starting price....
Linux receives updates forever. The point of LTS kernels is not to stay on them forever but to have to do less testing. It’s not very likely that upgrading kernels will break something but it can happen so businesses can stay on LTS kernels and continue to get critical security fixes and they’ll only have to update and test once a new LTS kernel comes out. The average person should use the regular kernel and that’s also the default on pretty much all distros
Comparing ChromeOS updates to LTS kernel updates makes no sense, especially since the LTS kernel can just be updated to a newer version if that specific version doesn’t get updated anymore.
I don’t think that’s true for the majority of people tho. I personally don’t have that issue at all, I actually watch less porn now than I used to (Was once a day at some point, now it’s once every few days) and it’s not like I’m getting old or anything, I’m still a teenager. And I have one friend who does it multiple times a day, cause he’s bored but everyone else I know doesn’t.

You can delete videos on Peertube. They’re stored on the server the same way YouTube etc. do it. The difference is just that the Peertube servers federate with each other like Lemmy does.

For self hosting I recommend Yunohost. It allows you to install a lot of stuff with just one click but you can still install things manually if you want.
You have to change it for each user. Go to the users settings and scroll down, under Media Playback there are options to allow audio and video transcoding. I still have audio transcoding on but that doesn’t seem to cause any issues.

I personally hate rounded corners and shadows added everywhere. Makes most things look crappy and smudged.
