mojo,

It does get rid of it all

mojo,

Lucky spawn point

mojo,

Teachers definitely don’t make enough to do that lol

mojo,

pocket.enabled to false

First thing I do every clean install

mojo,

You always are mentally and actively doing something otherwise you’d be unconscious. Habits just means the mental resistance becomes a lot lower. If you struggle to brush your teeth, it’s a lot of effort to initially get you to go the bathroom. When it’s a habit, there’s usually a trigger that gets you to go to the bathroom without having to expend all that energy as much. Unconscious habits are automatic which are different.

mojo,

No they aren’t

mojo,

uh oh, i want to kinda keep lemm.ee on the down low cuz it’s awesome and I don’t want more traffic lol

mojo,

they federate nicely at the end of the day, and that’s what matters

mojo,

When I used Lemmy before the reddit exodus, it was getting like 12 updoots on the front page. I’ve noticed a hugeee difference, this post getting over 1.2k+ upvotes for example. Content is a lot more exciting. Haven’t touched Reddit in like 3 weeks now.

I’ve been full RSS reader, Mastodon, and Lemmy. It feels good.

mojo,

I guess by full, I mean like full-on. Like most of the content I relied on Reddit for, I could get from RSS feeds. I play Genshin Impact a lot, so I don’t need to visit that sub anymore now that I have an RSS. Also there’s replacement communities on Lemmy now.

Other then that, software or blogs you like, they usually have an RSS feed and then can group them under like a “Tech Blogs” category for example. It’s something you build up over time, and RSS has been around for a long time so most things support it and there’s a million clients out there.

Fun fact, every Lemmy community has an RSS feed to subscribe to as well, even Mastodon profiles! RSS feeds directly grab from the source, so there’s no centralized anything, so it’s probably the most sustainable method of getting method possible.

mojo,

It should, but the Lemmy devs are swamped right now to add more features. Before, they had a pretty small dev team too. Now that there’s a lot more eyes on Lemmy, hopefully we’ll get more features while they iron out the stability issues.

mojo,

I don’t think you know what objectively means. You meant to use the word subjectively.

mojo,

Already used Mastodon before and understood the concept of decentralization. I used Lemmy years ago, but the front page was getting like 12 upvotes so not much was going on lol.

mojo,

It feels great on my laptop with gestures. On desktop, not so much. Feels like it’s designed to have one full screen application up at a time. Removal of tray icons is just stupid, and they should just give up on their push against them. Which their quest against tray icons is actually worse then just unstandardized tray icons themselves. Still, it’s definitely the most polished DE out there, so that’s why I tend to stick with it and run dash-to-panel. The overview mode is actually better then I realize now that I got used to it. Even pressing the mouse against the top left corner starts to feel nice.

mojo,

XFCE Wayland would be pretty sweet. Also native night mode whenever they add that.

mojo,

If you’re not familiar with Linux and distros, this reads like a foreign language lol

mojo,

Figure out your favorite hobby or whatever makes you feel the most fulfilled/happy. Look for a viable job/career that is related to that. Figure out the path to get into that career.

mojo,

No it doesn’t, because that’s how you get caught

mojo,

That’s my point, that’s significantly more effort then just implementing i2p. You shouldn’t have to worry about that because we should be using better protocols. It’s the protocol’s fault here, and VPNs are band-aid solutions.

mojo,

It’s literally a toggle in the BitTorrent client, which hopefully will eventually default on

mojo,

Just because you haven’t been caught doesn’t mean https is suddenly a private way to pirate. It’s really not that complicated.

mojo,

at the end of the day, both political spectrums are watching sweaty shirtless dudes wrestle it out

mojo,

Let me dress in cool trench coats without looking like some kind of creep. That and capes too.

How are you able to cook while working full time through the week? Do you have some kind of strategy? How do you plan your food?

We want to break out of this cycle of ordering delivery but at the same time, cooking everyday has been a challenge. We also have been trying to develop some sort of routine where we meal prep on the weekends but we live in an apartment with a really small kitchen so cooking and storing food for 5 days doesn’t seem doable....

mojo,

I feel that. I occasionally get myself to try something new. I’ll just keep cooking the same few things I know over and over lol. I definitely need to branch out more, and my food can get really boring to my taste buds, but I’ve survived this far! I do still tend to eat out more then I should though.

mojo, (edited )

Not disagreeing that a lot is wasted, but that’s just not true. It all gets donated unless it’s unsalvageable, which is not very common.

Idk why the downvotes, I’m just correcting it with facts lol.

mojo,

Install Linux

or if you choose to install Windows, only reinstall with official media and uninstall the stuff you don’t need. Then go into privacy and disable telemetry.

don’t install these random debloater programs suggested in this thread, and most of what they do will get undone in a regular windows update anyways

mojo,

They show up just fine for me on Mastodon which is pretty neat.

mojo,

mine are even worse, they should just gut the feature tbh

this is gen x level of entertainment, the same ones that preach no algorithms are somehow better

mojo,

yeah sounds like boring shit. I get that already from talking to actual people, not virtue signalling boomers on mastodon

the lack of algo reduces the quality of content to this garbage, but this is the same people who think more content is bad as well. I don’t want some breaking or interesting post to be hidden by some random person posting completely meaningless garbage

mojo,

i angy 😡

mojo,

…and we see the result of that, an incredibly boring community. No wonder so many people leave. Without an algo, it’s simply awful. That’s why Lemmy is already 10x more interesting with basic rating algo systems.

mojo,

because they nerf discoverability so hard. You wouldn’t be surprised they hate Lemmy and how it crawls instances so you can actually find their communities in the search feature. They strongly hate that for some reason, somehow about it hurting minorities or some shit. That tends to be their go to if you disagree with the hivemind’s stance on anything, that you must hate minorities.

mojo,

there is, idk what’s going on in your end

mojo,

Yeah it’s either useless boring small talk on Mastodon, or zoomer tik tok. Absolutely no middle.

mojo,

Would like to see your feed because after months of tweaking and following hash tags, my feed is still boring.

mojo,

Yes, anyone who is mad about the meta fedi is just fed misinformation and all this means is that there’s more content to federate with, which is a good thing.

Noob Question: If you aren't willing to deal with custom OSes like Linux (for computers) and Android Custom Roms (for phones), do you just not have any privacy at all?

I mean, exactly how invasive are default operating systems? (Like Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Android, iOS) Do they log your keystrokes, log passwords, capture screen, upload your photos, videos, or audio? (Assuming you aren’t a target of government) Is it even possible for the average person who doesn’t feel comfortable...

mojo,

You’ll be a lot less private, but it’s not black and white.

mojo,

Really just use Lemmy, Mastodon, and Element. I keep Discord installed because all my irl friends use it. I don’t interact with any servers on it anymore though, just DM friends.

mojo,

You can also call your underpants that

mojo,

I have been for awhile. It also all exists in my home directory, so when I format my root and throw a different OS on, all my flatpaks are ready to go without installing any native packages. It’s just a more consistent experience using flatpaks.

mojo,

Yeah as long as you at least copy your home user folder, then you’re golden. I plan for my root to be wiped at any given time, so my important stuff lives in my home. That’s why it’s super nice with flatpaks! I believe if you install as user and system flatpaks, I think they both install in home? I’d stick to installing as a user for flatpaks if you can, it’s the same end result anyways and I’ve never had an issue.

mojo,

I’m using Fedora, but thinking of swapping to Silverblue. If you’re going full on containerization, I’d try Silverblue as an immutable system + containerized apps is definitely the future. Fedora/Silverblue is developed by Red Hat, who also develops flatpaks, so they all have some serious man power. But flatpaks are system agnostic so you can use whatever. I’d just recommend looking for immutable distros to future proof your system. Which flatpaks also has some of that built in too. I think the exact same way as you :)

mojo,

I was looking at trying MicroOS but I got the feeling it was for servers, but I haven’t tried it so I’m guessing lol. I do know it’s immutable though.

mojo,

Then I’d try Silverblue. It’s literally just Fedora Workstation but with their new immutable tech. It’s incredibly stable once you install it and is built around having all your things running in containers. If shit fucks up, you can easily roll back to previous versions. Silverblue also has flavours in KDE and Sway. Since it’s literally Fedora, it’s also made by Red Hat and is what Fedora will eventually turn into.

mojo,

It is a valid reason from the OEMs because they have to rely on their chip manufacturers for security updates. It’s literally out of their control to do updates that long except when it comes to the OS.

mojo,

It’s at least getting better. Samsung, who had a much wider range of phones, moved to 4 years of security updates. Pixels moved to 5 years. Too many other brands to list their support length too. Apple still beats them though.

mojo,

What do you do for a living where you somehow don’t need mobile autofill? Do you not leave the house?
