  • Everything. Software, usability, customization, community, you name it. Using Linux has advanced and keeps advancing my computer literacy skills. This would have never happened if I kept using Windows. There's also the "activist" angle. By using Linux and other FOSS software, I feel like I'm disengaging the worst parts of modern life and society and taking power away from the corpos even if it doesn't have huge impact.

  • List of alternatives:

    Element

    Revolt

    Signal

    Jitsi (video calls only)

    Additionally, Steam has its own built-in social features similar to Discord.

  • Seems interesting. I currently use a German made keyboard: Das Keyboard. Works beautifully.

  • Step 1: Be Woman

    Step 2: Be of mixed ethnic background

    Step 3: Be successful and famous

    Step 4: Live in time of intense racial and political antagonization

  • Add SearxNG as a search engine option.

  • For those looking for alternatives, there are a number Firefox forks such as Mullvad and Librewolf and then there's Chromium and it's various forks (just avoid Edge and, now, sadly, Brave)

    1. Bandcamp. You can pay the artist or indie label directly. Sure, you might not find really big name artists on there but you wil find a lot of classics from yesteryear. For example, Mastodon's (the band) first two albums from they were signed to Relapse Records. Plus you can download in high quality formats like FLAC and WAV.

    2. Physical media like CDs and vinyls. Super high quality but three things to consider: money, space and patience

    3. Ad-silence. Works with both Spotify and Tidal. There's also xmanager but that only works with Spotify.

    4. My personal favorite: Sailing the high seas.

  • Not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed.

  • Console: Sega Dreamcast

    PC: Any IBM beige box from the 90s

  • Oh for fuck's sake, how many times does this bullshit have to be debunked?!

    Here's a paper that puts this nonsense to rest.

    And if that's too "elitist" for you here's not one but two Youtube videos.

  • I'm going to expect a lot of dislikes for this one...

    Neutering/Spaying is animal abuse.

  • United States | News & Politics @lemmy.ml

    The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Does democracy still die in darkness?

  • I remember when Obama tried to normalize relations with Cuba and the possibility of the embargo being lifted and Guantánamo finally closing were close to reality. One can still dream, right?

  • It seems that this channel is a pro-Putin simp and an anti-EU fearmogerer. Proceed with caution.

  • Mötley Prüdes

  • After fully switching to Linux in 2022, I've pretty much ditched everything and anything mainstream; not just social media.

  • I guarantee you that if Costco and other grocery chains implemented mandatory prayer sessions for their employees, these asshats would finally shut up.

  • Can I reverse engineer it?

  • The all new 2025 GMC Sierra Denali Mount McKinley. Comes with a MAGA flag and lifetime McDonald's subscription.

  • Varg was one happy dude then...

  • I'm not queer (though I consider myself an ally) I will be buying a gun because my last name and skin tone goes against Fürer Orange ideal master race.
