I have seen many people in this community either talking about switching to Brave, or people who are actively using Brave. I would like to remind people that Brave browser (and by extension their search engine) is not privacy-centric whatsoever....
All crew survived, which is great to hear. At least the Challenger is getting put to good use in their offensive. Just like every other piece of military equipment, you’re always going to lose some.
Recommended follow list for Ukraine war on Mastodon
Here are my recommendations for coverage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Only accounts active recently and you can easily import them from a file. They are split into two different lists by type.
Ukraine: OSINT & war updates
This list mostly has accounts posting quickly about daily events of the war and doing open source intelligence.
The import file relies on the List import feature recently added to Mastodon. I have noticed the list import results in a few accounts sometimes ending up in their separate list by the same name so you may have to fix that manually afterwards if this happens on your instance. If many people are on an older Mastodon version and want it I can also post a follows file that will work for those.
Import instructions:
Sign into your instance on the web
go to settings (Gear icon)
Choose Import and Export -> Import
For import type choose "Lists" (could also be "Translation missing: en.imports.types.lists" if there is an issue with the localization).
Select "merge" to only add to your current follows/lists so nothing you have gets deleted

Another vote for Windy. They now have the UKV High-res model (provided by The Met Office). The live rainfall radar is also Met data.
The other one to try is The Met Office official app. Depends what you’re after really. If it’s a general reliable forecast, official Met app. More layers, compare different models etc., then Windy.
So here’s the thing, every time I try to move away from Facebook messenger I run into the same problem, nobody else in my friends or family actually want to use a secure, private messenger app like signal or telegram, my wife, my parents, my in-laws, my friends they’re ALL on Facebook and they will never take signal...
That’s great! I wish that happened with me. I got my parents on it, but others were not willing to try it out. In the end, pretty much everyone I knew stuck with WhatsApp, and we’re still there.
I stopped using reddit when Apollo went down, and 2-3 hours of scrolling and active posting in some niche subs turned into ~30 mins of Lemmy per day, which I find much more healthy....
Same here, I’ve found myself being more productive and having more time. It’s also a refreshing experience to be part of an early platform again and seeing it progress.
For those wondering about their add-ins, Microsoft quote “To provide a more reliable and stable add-in experience, VSTO and COM add-ins aren’t supported in the new Outlook on Windows. To ensure your add-in continues to work in the new Outlook on Windows, you must migrate your VSTO or COM add-in to an Outlook web add-in.”
Looks like it might be a while until businesses move to this web based version then, as many rely on business extensions in Outlook.
Hey guys, made an account here. I had originally setup an account on the FMHY instance but its been down for the past half a day or so. Anybody know what’s going on? Were they hacked or something? Or are they just doing some sort of server maintenance?...
I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I...
I’m sure I read that as well. Hopefully he’s had a think and decided that a Lemmy app would be really worthwhile. Excited to see what he creates, as I’ve used Boost for years and thought it was awesome.
Please, do not use Brave.

Is there any relevant difference between Linux distros?
Besides size and looks, nowadays is there any significant differences between distros that might make one “better” than the other?
