  • What's a word you've spent a long time not using right?

  • Which subreddits would you most like to see on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • niche communities are [both] hard AND easy.some niche communites have a hard time staying active on ordinary reddit. (so therefore what does that mean for lemmy's sucess rate)on the otherhand:reddit nich communites are such a horrific failure , in many cases, that literally one active poster would make lemmy versions massively superior to shitty mainstream reddit.

  • Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them?

  • i pretty much dont give a fuck what companies do.except its hella destructive/wastefull to the environment.. and also will probably drive up the price of computers for everyone.

  • thats an awesome idea! much thanks for the info!

    personal insight preinstall (for ppl reading this):

    • it is always better to use fdroid apps whenever possible.

    i had tried mcroG once upon a time(many years ago). it didnt work for me.possible reasons:

    • project may have been less mature than it is today.
    • other. (see below)

    installation:https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Installation "Install GmsCore.apk" , "Install GsfProxy.apk""Please review the Prerequisites and Helpful Information before starting installation."

    https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Prerequisites"Your System needs to support signature spoofing, see Signature Spoofing" , "[You need a ROM that supports signature spoofing.]"

    conclusion:-need to follow the specific installation instructions.

  • How do people find good information on the internet these days?

    Jump

  • people are gave some good answers.it boils down to various large sites.wikipedia(app) and reddit(app) are my top.often time i just bang out a search and pinpoint the answer and trash the rest.[deleted] stackexchanges and ycomb are some other popular sites.quora used to seem attractive but information is questionable and the whole experience is trash.

    gemini,bookmarks,chatgpt are some others. also libgen .

  • i disagree. with this and parent comment.i would argue: more is more.the devil is in the details and how u choose to implement your system efficiently.https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/chameleon-ext/

    i guess one strategy is if u just need to have a smooth experience u can rapidly cut out cruft. this would lead to a much simpler experience and u would still retain a fair amount of privacy.personally.. i would rather have all privacy switches available.. even if i rarely choose to have them enabled.

  • or u can save the page using the browser menu.sometimes this allows for smaller size. and also ability to crop out unwanted resources. but then the page breaks and having a resource folder is messy to deal with.

  • Why does Lemmy feel so fresh compared to Reddit?

  • What would you do if Capitalism didn't curb your potential and force you to sell most of your time?

  • reminds me of this project https://farm.bot/ .but a project like this is so slow or nonexistant development ( i would argue: this is because we put all our hope and time into specialization.) this is only maintained by a few people. it doesn't compete or compare with the size and scale of modern industrial farms so nobody really cares and its not deemed to be important.

    i suppose thats a good thing. its not worthwhile to persue agriculture anymore. food is cheap.i'm more worried about paying my landlord.
