My favorite and the longest I’ve used was Antergos until they stopped maintaining it. At the time, it was the most popular Arch-with-an-installer distro. Before that, I was a fan of Peppermint OS simply because it was a beautiful looking distro. I’m currently running Mint because I don’t have time to maintain an OS and I just want something that works. It’s pretty good I’d say.
Amidst the flood of Korean tv shows on netflix, there are some pretty good ones. And no, I’m not talking about Squid Game. If you like drama thrillers, I can recommend:
Beyond Evil
Extra Curricular
D.P.
Korean shows are generally longer and have more episodes, so it takes a little getting used to if you aren’t. And as much as possible, watch with subs, not dub.
Tilda, because I like how I can drop it down my screen anytime by pressing one key if I need to use it.
It’s a bot from kbin that started posting yesterday. Some lemmy instances temporarily blocked the community it was coming from until the kbin admins fix it.
Huh. I wonder what they mean by “bad user UX”. I was expecting concerns about encryption or privacy, not UX. I already use Signal, so it would be a positive for me if they federate.
How are these companies able to operate in broad daylight in the EU of all places? I mean the name itself is saying out loud what they do.
I was gonna say this as well. You can go 2 opposite directions. You can go for a country like Switzerland which has a lot of privacy rules in place. It generally protects you from malicious non-state actors. But you can also go the other way with a developing country whose government does not have the means or capability to monitor you. The tradeoff is your data on government systems is probably already compromised, just not by the government itself.
I think the part about knowing how to follow instructions is pretty much true though, at least for me. I only started cooking by myself in my mid-20s. I started by just searching a recipe and adding “simple” in my search query so I get something I can realistically make with what I have in the kitchen/pantry. Then I just follow it to the letter. Through repeated trial and error I eventually learned what could be done faster or easier, what ingredients can be substituted, etc.
Watch a movie on the in-flight entertainment. I can never finish a movie on a plane. No matter what I do, I fall asleep. If I don’t watch anything, I can’t sleep.
Don’t forget they won’t help you until you spend a couple of thousands out of pocket first.
I just say “Hey sir, start timer 15 (or whatever) minutes”. Works every time. I sometimes even ask how many minutes left.
One of the servers I’m in requires a phone number in order to post and comment. Glad I never added my number in the first place. OP, I hope you can eventually get your number removed.
Yeah, I think a lot of the people who are against are the ones who don’t like the ad-removal model, because you are paying to remove ads on an app that uses a platform whose foundation is built against ads and tracking. The subscription model or one-time payment for life is fair IMO; people are free to support the dev (and please support the lemmy devs and instance admins too!). It’s the ads (and tracking that come with it) that’s kinda weird.
Lol I have the exact 3 beta apps on my phone that I use alternately. You can also add the desktop web apps on there too. I’m on a desktop browser 80% of the time, so I use alexandrite as a front-end.
inaccuracies and hypocritical takes are being thrown around regarding FOSS.
Oh wow that grinds my gears too. Hopefully those takes are out of pure ignorance and lack of information rather than actually believing FOSS is not secure.
The OG Alien Blue, then Antenna, then Narwhal.
The person at the DMV was confused why I was staring blankly (actually not, just a neutral expression) when taking a photo for my license. She told me that it’s ok if I wanted to smile. It’s weird how you’re allowed to have a non-neutral expression on driver’s licenses in the US.
Then they bring up some common criticisms of WFH, which I’ve seen and refuted since I started working from home 2009: People can’t communicate, working in groups is harder, and people can’t control themselves. Yawn.
Exactly. I work for a global company, so the way I communicate with the people I work with everyday is via zoom. What’s the point of commuting to an office just to get on zoom anyway to talk to people?
Sounds good. I already have a couple of accounts on other instances and this one seems like a good alternate as well. Thanks!
How do you plan to protect the instance from DDOS attacks?
Yep, I’ve seen half of those as well. Bloodhounds is good but it falls off a cliff on the last 2 episodes, sadly. You should still finish it though, just to conclude the story.
